4. SOCIAL NETWORKING (wikipedia)
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of actors (such as individuals or organizations) and the dyadic ties between
these actors. The social network perspective provides a clear way of analysing the structure of whole social entities. The study of
these structures uses social network analysis to identify local and global patterns, locate influential entities, and examine network
dynamics. Aiding the use of asset based development within whole communities and promoting the positive aspects of growth
within those communities. A social network is a theoretical construct useful in the social sciences to study relationships between
individuals, groups, organizations, or even entire societies (social units). The term is used to describe a social structure
determined by such interactions. The ties through which any given social unit connects represent the convergence of the various
social contacts of that unit.
• Dyadic level: A dyad is a social relationship between two individuals. Network research on dyads may concentrate
on structure of the relationship (e.g. multiplexity, strength), social equality, and tendencies toward reciprocity/mutuality.
• Triadic level: Add one individual to a dyad, and you have a triad. Research at this level may concentrate on factors such
as balance and transitivity, as well as social equality and tendencies toward reciprocity/mutuality.
• Actor level: The smallest unit of analysis in a social network is an individual in their social setting, i.e., an "actor" or "ego".
Eg: network analysis focuses on network characteristics such as size, relationship strength, density, centrality, prestige and
roles such as isolates, liaisons, and bridges, Such analyses, are most commonly used in the fields of psychology or social
psychology, ethnographic kinship analysis or other genealogical studies of relationships between individuals.
• Subset level: Subset levels of network research problems begin at the micro-level, but may crossover into the meso-level of
analysis. Subset level research may focus on distance and reachability, cliques, cohesive subgroups, or other group
action, group actions or behaviour].

5. SOCIAL MEDIA AS A POSITIVE ASPECT IN COMMUNITY
DEVELOPEMENT
Formal organisations or social groups that distribute tasks for
a collective goal, information gathering and dispersing

6. UNITY AND UNIFORMITY
• The study of social networks has led to new
sampling methods for estimating and
reaching populations that are hard to
enumerate, for example, homeless people,
intravenous substance users, abstinent based
individuals or groups.
• These studies give a more complex
understanding to the needs and wants of
those specific groups of individuals and these
end results are based on the findings of each
groups interactions on the networks.
• Social networks can be a platform for debate,
surveys, and collating any formal or informal
information needed to promote unity and
uniformity within specific groups that make
up our communities. There is no limit to the
power of social networking. However,
continuing action in the real world is a must
to achieve the results and make a difference.

7. DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE FOLLOWING?
IF YOU ARE A LEADER MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING AND WHAT
YOUR END GAME IS?
IF YOU ARE A FOLLOWER MAKE SURE YOU KNOW ALL THE FACTS BEFORE
EMBARKING ON A JOURNEY?

8. ORGANISATIONS
FORMAL ORGANISATIONS OR SOCIAL
GROUPS USE THE REACH OF SOCIAL
NETWORKS TO DISTRIBUTE TASKS AND
INFORMATION THAT WORK TOWARDS A
COLLECTIVE GOAL. IF THIS IS HOW YOU
USE YOUR PLATFORM YOU MUST ALWAYS
MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOU ARE
ADVOCATING OR RALLYING TOWARDS IS
JUSTIFIED AND FIRMLY BASED IN REALITY.
EVIDENCE BASED, RESEARCHED AND
STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD IT’S
GROUND IN AN ARGUMENT OR DEBATE.
IT IS A COLLECTIVE MOVEMENT AND YOU
ARE EITHER A PART OF IT OR APART
FROM IT.
