The document discusses the effects of social media on relationships and loneliness. It argues that while social media is meant to connect people, it can actually act as a barrier by causing people to connect in more superficial ways and focus on curated online personas. This can lead to lower quality relationships, perceived loneliness, and negative mental and physical health impacts. The document suggests people should limit social media use and focus more on real-life interactions and relationships.
Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide and Georgetown University’s Center for Social Impact Communication developed this study with the objectives of showcasing trends in cause involvement and evaluating the role of a variety of activities in fostering engagement. An online survey was conducted by TNS Global among a nationally representative sample of 2,000 Americans ages 18 and over. The survey was fielded November 30 to December 22, 2010, and has a margin of error of +/-2.2% at the 95% confidence level.
This document discusses the rise of fake news and its impact on media consumption and politics. It notes that fake websites are pushing political agendas while claiming to adhere to journalism standards, and are changing how people consume media. Some key points made include:
- Social media use for news is on the rise, with over half of users getting news from Facebook and Twitter. However, Facebook users are more engaged with political content.
- The rise of "alternative facts" and false or misleading statements from politicians has blurred the line between facts and falsehoods for many.
- Younger generations in particular get much of their news from social media, but may not be critically evaluating the information or seeking confirmation from other sources.
In a media dominated world characterized by ubiquitous communication and entertainment technology, consumers are literally being consumed by what they see daily. The following is a story outlining the affordances & constraints of being a part of this world.
Is the Internet Isolating or Connecting us?Matthew Kehoe
The document discusses how the internet and social media may be both connecting people and isolating them. It provides a brief history of the internet and its growth. While younger generations have integrated new technologies, older generations tend to be less connected. Social media has become an important part of identity for teens and is available through mobile devices. However, constant connectivity through technology can also lead to isolation and reduced attention spans. The effects of internet and social media use are complex with arguments on both sides.
The New Era of News: How Social Media is Impacting The U.S Presidential ElectionMadison Marcello
Social media has become a primary source of news for many Americans, especially millennials. It has changed how political campaigns operate and how voters receive information about candidates. Millennials now make up a significant portion of eligible voters, and their views are influenced by political discussions on social media. However, there is a lack of certainty about the factual accuracy of news shared on social media platforms. The 2016 presidential election has highlighted the large role social media now plays in how voters learn about candidates and political issues.
Social media has changed how people consume and share information. It allows billions of users worldwide to communicate and connect through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter. Research identifies ten common reasons for using social media, including social interaction, information seeking, entertainment and expressing opinions. However, excessive social media use of over two hours per day has been linked to poor mental health in teens. While social media provides benefits, it can also negatively impact people's well-being if not used in moderation.
Social media has become an integral part of modern media and communication. A study identified the top 10 uses of social media as social interaction, information seeking, passing time, entertainment, relaxation, communicatory utility, convenience, expressing opinions, and information sharing. However, excessive social media use can negatively impact students' academic performance and mental health. Teenagers who use social media for more than two hours a day are more likely to experience poor mental health and psychological issues.

Lilly Nesbitt's Flipbook- The Impact of Social Media on Mental HealthLilly Nesbitt
This document analyzes both the positive and negative impacts of social media on mental health. While social media can lead to obsession, negative self-esteem, and unrealistic standards of beauty, it also allows youth to feel more connected with friends and receive support. Some initiatives like Bell Let's Talk have helped reduce the stigma around mental illness by raising awareness on social media. Overall, social media could both contribute to and help address mental health issues depending on how it is used.
The document discusses the role of social media in political activism. It presents arguments from skeptics (social media only enables "slacktivism" and shallow engagement) and believers (social media has facilitated coordination of large protests and spread of information in places like the Arab Spring). While social media provided new channels of communication, real change requires meaningful on-the-ground activism. The role of social media also depends on factors like censorship policies of platforms and governments. Overall, the impact is complex with evidence on both sides.
This document discusses some of the key issues raised in the article "Social Media Explosion" regarding the impact of social media on society. It notes that social media can negatively impact personal relationships and privacy due to a preference for digital communication over face-to-face interaction among younger generations. However, social media can also help spread information quickly and organize communities around important causes. The document raises concerns that social media could undermine democracy if political campaigns control the spread of information or if it enables mass manipulation. Overall, the document examines both benefits and risks of social media for communication, social engagement, and political processes.
This document discusses some of the key issues raised in the article "Social Media Explosion" regarding the effects of social media on society. It notes that social media can negatively impact personal relationships and privacy due to a preference for digital communication over face-to-face interaction among younger generations.

Heightened social media use for business and pleasure has resulted in the population becoming more narcissistic due to having to constantly maintain a personal brand.
We're now in twenty first century and social media is an important aspect of our lifestyle where we spend lots of time with our friends either chatting, reading post or posting up a new photo or sharing thought. Researchers recently explores that excessive use of social media leads to Narcissism and this presentation will answer you , Do social media and other Networking sites lead to Narcissism ?
Collective Narcissism and Facebook PicturesCCN Media
This document discusses how social media sites like Facebook are used to construct and present personal and collective identities. It examines how individuals curate their profiles and photo collections to portray themselves in a particular way. Through "performative" elements like listing interests and tagging photos, people aim to shape how others perceive their tastes, affiliations, and personality. The document also analyzes how personal photos on Facebook emphasize an idealized version of oneself and one's life, focusing on positive moments and celebrations. It suggests individuals consciously perform for photos in a way that will create a favorable public impression when viewed later.
How has social media impacted consumer behaviorraloul
Social media has revolutionized word of mouth marketing by amplifying its reach and impact. It has shifted word of mouth from intimate 1-to-1 communication to information that can be disseminated to many people at once through social sharing. Consumers are now empowered as both recipients and creators of content, influencing others through reviews and recommendations. This has changed the consumer decision journey from a linear process driven by marketing to a dynamic process influenced by social connections and opinions shared online.
The document discusses trends in party polarization in the U.S. House of Representatives over the past 40 years. It finds that:
1) Both parties have become more ideologically polarized, with Republicans moving further to the right than Democrats to the left. Moderate Republicans have disappeared from Congress.
2) Most of the change among Democrats can be attributed to the loss of moderate-to-conservative Southern Democrats.
3) The parties are now ideologically homogenous and distant from one another, making bipartisan agreements almost impossible to reach on issues like the budget.
4) Polarization is driven by underlying structural factors like income inequality, cultural conflict, and issues like abortion, with little hope for change

- Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are increasingly how people get their news, especially younger generations, but the reliability of news on these sites is questionable.
- The rise of "alternative facts" and celebrity gossip passing as news has blurred the lines between facts and falsehoods for many consumers.
- Younger generations in particular seem to prioritize entertainment over factual news in their media diets and do not carefully fact-check information on social media.

This document discusses how social media may impact the 2012 US election. It notes that President Obama pioneered the use of social media in politics in 2008. Candidates in 2012 can learn from Obama's large social media presence. Social media allows candidates to target voters, share messages virally, and remind people to vote. However, it also carries risks if messages are taken out of context. The conclusion is that social media likely plays a huge role in elections now and failing to have strong social media could hurt a candidate.
This document discusses the benefits and concerns of social media use. It notes that while social media can help increase political participation and brand awareness at low cost, some worry it may undermine face-to-face communication skills and privacy. However, the document argues that social media overall benefits society by inspiring reflection, facilitating professional development, and instilling a sense of community. It provides examples of how social media helps students perform better in school and improves well-being.
The document discusses the relationship between social media use and mental health in teens and young adults. It notes that 20% of Canadians will experience a mental illness, and that social media use is rising, with 84% of 18-34 year olds using smartphones. Research suggests both benefits and risks to mental health from social media, as excessive use has been linked to poorer mental well-being, but it can also help social connection. The key may be moderation and balance in social media use.
The document discusses bias in media reporting and coverage of political issues. It notes that both MSNBC and Fox News have been found to show bias - with MSNBC having an obvious pro-Obama bias and Fox News showing a more subtle bias. The document questions where the supposed "watchdogs" that claim to expose corruption are when media companies run misleading ads for monetary gain over ethical standards. It concludes by encouraging people to be critical thinkers and use multiple sources to form opinions rather than just accepting one biased perspective.
The growth of social media and the rapid adoption of internet-enabled mobile devices have changed the way Americans engage in the political process.
For Social Media Week 2013 in Washington, D.C., Pew Internet Researcher Aaron Smith presented the latest data from Pew Research Center national surveys to engage the politically savvy and tech-obsessed peole in DC who have noticed this shift in political life, taking a look at the raw data behind the new political process, and how it relates to our political infrastructure.
Comes as Advertised?: Advertising's Negative Effects On Society Jared Wineberg
Advertising has many negative effects on society. It bombards people with messages through various media platforms on a daily basis. Exposure to advertising is linked to increased rates of issues like low self-esteem, depression, eating disorders, and childhood obesity. It also negatively influences behaviors like underage drinking, problem gambling, and overspending. Further, children under 8 do not understand the persuasive intent of ads and ads aimed at kids primarily promote unhealthy products. One must think critically about the advertisements they encounter.
Pamela Rutledge: Social Media: Innovative Solutions for Social ChangePamela Rutledge
The document discusses social media and its potential for social change. It covers four types of social change enabled by social media: 1) organizational, where organizations use social technologies for outreach, 2) crowd-sourced, by leveraging collective input, 3) spontaneous events that spread virally, and 4) social entrepreneurship starting new initiatives.

What is social media_ The impact of social media.pdfDavid Due
Information and verbal exchange generation has changed rapidly over the last two decades, with the key improvement being the emergence of social media.
The tempo of change is accelerating. For instance, the increase of cell technology has played an important function in shaping the impact of social media. Globally, cellular gadgets dominate in phrases of general mins on line. They positioned the approach of connectivity anywhere, anytime on any tool in all and sundry arms.
Americans are still more likely to engage with causes through traditional activities like donating, volunteering, and learning more, rather than promotional social media activities. However, social media is seen as valuable for increasing visibility and support of causes. Those who promote causes via social media are often highly engaged across multiple activities, challenging views of "slacktivism." Personal relevance is a major driver for Americans engaging with particular causes. Involvement can also trigger behavior changes among those supporting causes.

The United Way of West Alabama and its 27 partner agencies lack an effective social media presence and successful social media practices. Social media is an important communication tool that nonprofits can use to reach diverse audiences, connect with key stakeholders, promote efforts, launch campaigns, and engage with supporters. While UWWA has basic social media accounts, expanding its social media use could help the organization and its partners build awareness, foster relationships, create online support movements, and communicate effectively, especially during crises. The demographics of west Alabama, including levels of income, education, internet access, and volunteer rates, provide opportunities and challenges for using social media to engage specific audiences.

ABSTRACT
Social media is a dissenting topic, especially today. Some people have had the view that social media ruins human interaction not to mention real life human relationships. On the other hand, in the era of everything instant, the idea of living has drastically changed. Initially, people held the idea that life is too hard but with the advancement in technology it has now become a saying that life is easy. All this is attributable to modern technology and equally important globalization, in the sense that people are becoming more independent and interconnected. Social media has changed the world as people used to know it in the sense that people can do everything in an interconnected world that enables instant communication. Some of the most popular social networking includes Facebook, and Twitter among others. Similarly, in this era of social networking people’s idea of reality has greatly changed and people handle such things as relationship differently. This being the case, the objective of this paper is to develop a final prospectus regarding the impacts of social media. Mainly, the paper will focus its attention on the impact of social media and some of the ways that can be used to define the controversy between social media and youths below the 23 years of age.
Impact of Social Media
As mentioned in the discussion, there are many social networks to choose from such as Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram among others. In understanding how social media impacts the youth, it is imperative to look at both the pros and cons of social media on the youth. Essentially social media has reduced the world in a global village which means youths can share and interact easily and instant. Conferring with Ahn (2011), addiction to social media has resulted to poor performance in leaning institutions. Many bright students have resorted to bad behaviours because of social media. Ideally, social media has captured the attention of youths to an extent of not focusing on studies. The issue of mobile phones in learning institutions has invited an endless debate currently. Teachers have complained that students are using phones to connect with their friends and families through such networking sites like Facebook. This idea of using phones in classrooms has deteriorated student performance.
Additionally, youth are so addicted to social media that they do not study at home. Normally, students are supposed to maintain impartiality between social media and studies. This obsession with social media is detrimental to the youth lives. It is estimated that 70% of the district school block have access to social network sites. The rationale behind this is that online communities allow youths to build social capital. In other words, youths are able to access information, seek advice and share ideas through a network of relationships. Most of these SNS o.
Networking or What the Social Means in Social Media
Social media allows anyone to broadcast information to a broad audience, while social networking enables communicating and building relationships with others. Both depend on viral marketing and help people connect by sharing common interests, with social networking strengthening those connections over time.
The document discusses the impact of social media on society, both positive and negative, and how the rise of social introverts. It explores the differences between social media and social networking, how news is shared through social media platforms, and some key facts about social media usage globally.
Social Media Impact On Our Lives [Created for the Professional Development Co...JP Marketing | NE
Social Networking is an increasingly hot topic impacting world politics (witness the Arab Spring), the field of marketing, and in the world of employment. Over 60% of marketing professionals utilize its potential and more and more employers trawl LinkedIn and other sites for "passive" candidates. Despite these facts, most professionals still aren\'t sure how best to use the power of social networking to advance their job search or to mobilize people for a cause.
Celebrities leaving social media: a computer mediated communication studyhoodmoriah
Celebrities leaving social media is a growing phenomenon. While social media allows celebrities to connect with fans and market themselves, it also subjects them to online harassment and lack of privacy. The constant public presence required on social media can also be psychologically and emotionally draining for celebrities. More research is needed to understand why celebrities leave social media and how to prevent the need for them to escape online spaces.
This document discusses evaluation research approaches for assessing communication strategies that aim to promote advocacy and social change. It outlines different types of evaluation research, including needs assessment, process evaluation, and outcome evaluation. It emphasizes the importance of evaluation research that goes beyond assessing individual projects, to provide critical analysis of contexts, power structures, and long-term social impacts. Evaluation research should seek to understand how projects construct participants and problems, and evaluate success based on objectives defined through dialogue with stakeholders.
The article discusses the issues and concerns regarding social media use. It addresses whether social media fosters greater community engagement or makes relationships more difficult. Additionally, it examines if social media erodes user privacy. While social media allows global connections and self-expression, concerns include anti-social behavior from excessive use, development of poor communication skills from limited in-person interaction, and lack of privacy control over personal information shared. The impacts of social media use are debated as technology continues to evolve.

Creating Immersive Language Learning Environments for Young LearnersAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Creating immersive language learning environments for young learners in English as a Foreign
Language (EFL) contexts has been a topic of considerable interest and debate among educators. Despite
numerous constraints such as time, curriculum, and stakeholder expectations, it is feasible to develop effective
immersive environments. This paper explores the concept of immersion language learning, tracing its historical
development and highlighting its benefits, particularly for young learners. It discusses the distinctions between
total, partial, and dual-immersion programs, emphasizing the critical role of using the target language as the
medium of instruction. Furthermore, it examines the cognitive and academic advantages documented in seminal
immersion programs like Saint-Lambert and Coral Way. By synthesizing research and offering practical
strategies for EFL settings, this paper underscores the importance of teacher commitment, the selection of
appropriate materials, and the adoption of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) principles.
Ultimately, the findings affirm that immersive environments significantly enhance language proficiency,
cognitive flexibility, and academic achievement, advocating for their broader implementation in EFL
classrooms.

On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Shame, and ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdie’s novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
‘bastards of history’, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdie’s three novels: Midnight’s Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.
KEYWORDS : Magic Realism, Rushdie, Satire, Storytelling, Transfictional Identities
The Influence of Green Tax Implementation and Social Responsibility Programs ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : The issue of climate change related to carbon emissions has become an alarming global
phenomenon. The manufacturing sector contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore,
efforts to mitigate climate change through the implementation of green taxes and Social Responsibility
Programsare important for manufacturing industry. This research aims to analyze the effect of implementing
green tax and Social Responsibility Programs on environmentally sustainable development in manufacturing
industry. A quantitative approach is used with the research object of manufacturing industry listed on the
Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2022. Analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The research
results show that the implementation of green tax has a significant effect on environmentally sustainable
development, while Social Responsibility Programsdo not have a significant effect. These findings indicate that
green tax policies are effective in encouraging companies to switch to more environmentally friendly business
practices, but Social Responsibility Programshave not been fully integrated with environmental sustainability
efforts. This research contributes to the literature related to fiscal policy instruments and corporate social
responsibility practices in supporting environmentally sound sustainable development in the manufacturing
sector.

What's Trending #SocialChange
1. What’s Trending
#SocialChange
BY ANDREW ROSE, MSC. CANDIDATE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT AND
EXTENSION, UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, CONTENT IN THIS SLIDE SHARE IS LICENCED UNDER
A CREATIVE COMMONS ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-NODERIVATIVES 4.0
INTERNATIONAL (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)
2. Overview of the Slide Share:
Factors that impact an issue’s ability to trend
Indicators that determine if trending social media will translate into social
change
Case studies of social media trends
Considerations for future understanding of social media
3. Is Social Media an Appropriate
Platform to Influence Social Change
Social media is saturated with incoming data, yet much of this data can
be categorized as “noise”.
Social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) has grown its own
unique communications variable in the form of “hashtags” (#), and other
forms of abbreviated communication.
Due to the high rate of evolution of social media platforms, an insider’s
perspective into these communities is beneficial.
Is it possible for social change to emerge from web 2.0 platforms, which
were not purposed to act as facilitation tools for social change.
4. Can Social Media Cause Social
Change?
Currently there is no consensus among the academic community as to
how or if it is possible that social media can facilitate social change.
There are numerous examples of major issues gaining widespread support
on social media, often followed by a lack of change when individuals lose
interest.
Other instances have occurred where an issue begins to trend and is
followed by tangible change based on the notoriety received on social
media.
Why do some issues falter and some succeed in attaining change?
5. Emotional Horizons
What kind of a connection exists between those encouraging a trend to
continue and the issue that is being targeted?
Social media networks have been identified by many as groupings of people only
connected by weak ties. Weak ties typically are not successful in breaking through
apathetic interest.
Factors such as geographic proximity and cultural relatability have a tangible
effect on the propensity of individuals to be emotionally engaged in social
media trends.
If issues are trending without individual relatability, then there is decreased probability
of individuals becoming engaged in the process of change.
6. Level of Commitment to Participate
The level of commitment has a negative relationship with a trend
achieving social change. The more that is required of an individual to act
on their values the less likely they are to become engaged.
Petitions have a high success rate due to the fact that the extent of an
individuals commitment towards an issue is simply “Yes” or “No”.
An example of this trend in human behaviour is when people are asked if
they think voting is important. The ratio of people who respond yes is
always higher than the percentage of the population who actually vote.
7. The ALS Ice
Bucket Challenge
This social media trend was an enormous
success in terms of funds raised for ALS.
Even though many people do not know
what ALS is, it can still be argued that we
all have the desire to help those who are
sick.
The commitment that had to be
produced in order to support ALS research
was creatively packaged to the point that
participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge
became a cool thing to do and was tied
to social status.

8. On April 15th 2014,
276 Nigerian
Schoolgirls were
kidnapped
The #1 trending issue on social
media was #bringbackourgirls.
It is hard to imagine a crime that
is more upsetting than the
preying on innocent schoolgirls.
This issue entered the emotional
horizons of many of those in
social media.
Yet, what kind of action is
required of those using social
media that #bringbackourgirls
might actually transition into a
process of change?

9. In January the Charlie
Hebdo attack took
place at the same time
as the Boko Haram
massacre in Nigeria
There was a distinct lack of moral outrage
at the slaughter of 2000 Nigerians on social
media, yet the Charlie Hebdo attack
breached the emotional horizons of many
individuals gained in social media.
Je Suis Charlie became synonymous with
our right to free speech and the response
of support for social change was drastic
with demonstrations taking place across
the western world.
The action required to change policy in
Europe is much different than what is
required to change Boko Haram’s hold on
Nigeria.

10. Concluding Remarks
Social media continues to gain momentum, therefore the need to
understand how social media trends impact social change is becoming
increasingly important.
As social media is an incredibly innovative mode of communication, the
methods of analysis used to study it in the future will need to be highly
adaptive.
What other examples of social media trends can you think of that either
did or did not act as a catalyst for social change?
Can you think of other factors (beyond emotional horizons and levels of
participation) that could be used to analyze examples of social media to
determine why they did or did not facilitate change?
