The document discusses different forms of social media activism, including "slacktivism" where people show support for causes with minimal effort. It provides examples like hashtags and "likes" that allow activism with just a click but may not create real change. The Arab Spring uprisings demonstrated how social media tools like Twitter can help give voice to concerns and help coordinate protests. The #BringBackOurGirls campaign around the kidnapping of Nigerian girls in 2014 showed how a hashtag can spread awareness globally and help apply pressure through online petitions and rallies to address an issue.

Vicariously Giving Through the Internet
This document discusses how social media and online platforms can be used to raise funds, raise awareness, and raise volunteers for social causes. It provides examples of successful online fundraising campaigns like the Ice Bucket Challenge, mobile games that support charitable causes, and how online interactions on social media can help non-profits secure grants and donors. Statistics show that online giving is increasing yearly, with $1.7 billion given online in recent years. While "clicktivism" is sometimes criticized as having little impact, the document argues that it still raises awareness and inspires further offline action, and online platforms allow more people to engage with and support causes.
Liking isn't helping
This document discusses slacktivism, which refers to activism performed via the internet that requires little time or involvement, such as liking or sharing posts on social media. It provides examples of slacktivism and references studies that found slacktivists were more likely to take meaningful offline actions than people who did not engage in online activism. While some argue slacktivism is ineffective, the document notes that if activism is defined as changing minds and influencing opinions, then digital campaigns can be revolutionary. It concludes by encouraging social media users to volunteer more through Crisis Relief in Singapore.

This document discusses the need for organizations to embrace innovation and take risks in their communications strategies. It notes that involvement is not the same as commitment, and that creativity and implementation together equal innovation. The document advocates for more imaginative, courageous, powerful, emotional and phenomenal communications that will captivate audiences. It also notes that social media is becoming an increasingly important way to connect with older donor demographics. The overall message is that organizations should not be afraid to fail but should instead embrace new approaches and shed conventional wisdom to move their communications forward.

Using Your Social Media Influence for Social Good
We work hard at building our blogs and growing our social media networks. Most of us strive to provide good content and engage with our readers. We might even earn some cash from time to time from our blogs and social media channels. Why? Because readers, brands and public relations companies understand that our words mean something. That people are listening to what we have to say.
Imagine what kind of change we can make in the world if we used our social media influence for social good. Not only do we empower our readers to become advocates for the causes they care for, we also feel good about giving back.
If you have a blog and/or are active in social media, you can use your influence to spread some good. It’s easier than you think. And, no, it doesn’t involve donating lots of time and money. In this webinar, hosted by Sverve, Jennifer Barbour, chief engagement officer of Another Jennifer Blog + Writing Lab, discussed:
• Why social good deserves space in your social media channels
• Choosing a cause to write about and support
• Way to promote social good on your blog / social media
• Getting your readers involved with social good
• Social good networks to join
• Measuring your impact

Engagement and Journalism
This document discusses civic engagement and how social media can be used to promote engagement. It defines engagement as having both behavioral and emotional components. Various social media platforms and tools are described that have been used successfully to increase engagement, participation, and sharing of information. The document advocates using social media to mobilize information, build relationships, and encourage ongoing interaction and content sharing in relevant online communities.
Social networking sites and mass compaigns ppt
Social networking sites can be effectively used for mass campaigns due to their ability to rapidly disseminate information to a large number of people at low cost. They allow for two-way communication and public dialogue, helping to influence public opinions and shape government policymaking. Campaigns on social media can reach greater numbers of people, including women and marginalized groups. The Anna Hazare anti-corruption movement in India successfully utilized Facebook to garner 500,000 likes in support of its cause. Social networking sites are now commonly used for various public health campaigns as well.

Visual Social Media - Dr. Farris Timimi
Visual social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram allow users to share images and engage with others visually. Pinterest focuses on curating content through pinboards while Instagram emphasizes sharing personal experiences through photos. Both platforms saw rapid early growth driven by their mobile-first focus on visual sharing. Research shows images that are close-up, colorful, and smooth in texture tend to generate more engagement on Pinterest. Instagram attracts a younger demographic that is highly engaged, checking multiple times daily. Mayo Clinic utilizes boards on Pinterest and Instagram to visually showcase their content and engage key audiences.

Activism social
Social media has become an important tool for activism by allowing people to quickly spread news and organize in real-time. Hashtags like #oslobomb, #utoya, and #June30 helped spread awareness of attacks in Oslo and on Utopia island while also verifying information on social networks. Social media platforms now act as news wires for organizing and sharing information about social causes and current events around the world.
Gaurav Mishra Digital Activism India Goethe Institut 210809
Citizen media has the promise to give more people a voice but also myths about its impact. It allows for collective action through blogs, social networks, and SMS but the reach and influence are often overstated. For citizen media to have more impact, it needs to move beyond individual conversations to facilitating cooperation and co-creation of content around social issues. The success depends on building real communities around issues and harnessing collective intelligence, not just the number of participants.

Gaurav Mishra Digital Activism Social Media Club Delhi 21112009
This document discusses digital activism in India and China through social media. It shows that both countries have high social media usage, especially in cyber cafes early on. In India, social media was used to spread awareness of issues like the Mumbai terror attacks and organize pink chaddi protests. In China, social media allowed sharing of citizen journalism during the Sichuan earthquake but is also strictly censored by the government. The document advocates listening to public opinion online, energizing grassroots movements using social media, and bridging online and offline action for effective digital activism.

This document discusses perspectives on individualism and community engagement among millennials (born 1982-2000). Some argue this generation is more "lazy, entitled, selfish and shallow" with higher narcissism. However, others believe millennials are still civic-minded, though civic engagement occurs more online. While social media increases self-promotion, it may also strengthen communities. The impacts of constant online connection and emphasis on personal branding are debated.
Social Media and Politics_lecture @FHNW Business
This document discusses the role of social media in politics and campaigns. It provides examples of how social media was used in the Arab Spring uprisings to organize protests and spread awareness. Social media allows for real-time communication and coordination of political movements. Examples from Germany show how social media discussions influenced the decision to phase out nuclear power after the Fukushima disaster. Creating an online petition and effective social media campaign strategy are discussed as ways for individuals and groups to get involved in political issues.
How The Internet Is Revolutionizing Activism
The document discusses the rise of online activism, known as "clicktivism", and argues that it can be an effective way to create social change. While some critics argue that online actions like likes and shares do little, the document points to examples like the #BringBackOurGirls and ALS Ice Bucket Challenge campaigns that harnessed social media to raise awareness and funds. It suggests that the internet allows issues to reach a global audience and that multiple exposures online can motivate real-world action and support for causes.

The hacker group Anonymous also uses social networking, especially YouTube, to fight censorship and support anti-government movements by shutting down government websites. The Occupy Movement organized thousands in New York City through Facebook and Twitter given a lack of media coverage of the protests.

How The Internet Is Revolutionizing Activism
The document discusses how social media and digital technologies have revolutionized online activism, known as "clicktivism". While some criticize clicktivism as ineffective, the document points to several successful online campaigns that raised awareness and funds for causes. It argues clicktivism allows local issues to become global conversations and that awareness through social media can motivate further action and support. Examples discussed include the #BringBackOurGirls, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and Kony 2012 campaigns. The document concludes that social media provides ample opportunities to create meaningful change through sharing content and calls to not dismiss the power of clicktivism.
Social Networking and Protesters
Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Google+ have been utilized by various protest movements to raise awareness, recruit members, and organize demonstrations. The Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, and other countries used social media to spark protests against oppressive regimes. The hacker group Anonymous also employs social networking to fight censorship and support anti-government groups by distributing information on YouTube. The Occupy Movement organized thousands in New York City through Facebook and Twitter due to a lack of traditional media coverage of the protests.
Clicktivism
The document discusses the concept of "clicktivism" or supporting causes online rather than taking real action. While raising awareness on social media, most "clicktivists" do not translate their online support into donations, volunteering, or activism. Research shows only 25% of those who learn about issues online then take meaningful action to address them. Several examples are given of online campaigns that failed to create change, such as #BringBackOurGirls and Kony 2012. The document argues that clicks and likes alone will not impact the world, and that real action is needed to create change.

Social mobilization
Mass access to the internet has changed social mobilization processes, allowing both conventional and unconventional forms of mobilization. Conventional mobilization relies on continuity, involvement of institutions and interests over time, while unconventional mobilization focuses on single impactful actions. Both forms have advantages and disadvantages, but integrating tools like social networks into a coordinated platform can create an effective social action machine for defining goals, involving actors, and keeping people informed and engaged in supporting issues.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Social media activism
- 1. Social Media Activism Kanya Ndaki
- 2. • "Slacktivists" - people who want to appear to be doing something for a particular cause without actually having to do anything • Activism at the click of a button • Can a hashtag or a Facebook “like” bring about change?
- 3. Hashtag Activism • Source: The Urban Dictionary The kind of activism undertaken when you “do something” about a problem by tweeting or posting links to Facebook, without any intent of ever actually doing something. Nothing more than a nonsense feel good gesture so that one can say they “did something about” whatever trendy cause they’re pretending to care about. Usually only lasts a week or two before the cause is completely forgotten (i.e. it stops being cool to forward/retweet on the subject).
- 4. Arab Spring - A series of anti-government protests, uprisings, rebellions that spread across the Middle East in 2011
- 5. Tweeting the Revolution New “voice to Twitter” tool made it easier for the powerless to collaborate, coordinate and give voice to their concerns
- 6. #BRINGBACKOURGIRLS • Over 200 girls kidnapped on April 15 • 7days later hashtag #bringbackourgirls first tweeted from Nigeria
- 7. #BringBackOurGirls • Global marches and rallies • Petition on Change.org • Celebrities • Global pressure for the Nigerian government
