Language Arts?!

Hello All!
It's me(owner) here to update and inform all about current social media issues. My ''co-worker'' and I will be addressing how dangerous the internet has become. I use ''co-worker'' because in reality she probably wont be doing anything... ugh school.. Anyway enough about us it will be all about how to keep you safe from the dangerous digital world(Hahaha if you get that reference)! A little about me Enoch or the Google+ in the corner, I am a senior in high school and hope to attend collage afterwards for my medical degree to become a RN. 




1) Social media in my life is personally helpful although I use it rarely. The main purpose social media serves in my life is to connect me with other people and have another means of communication other then the phone. Using this for school or colleges, or talk to friends who are unable to be contacted by other means.

2)Benefits of using social media is to become more socially active and aware of topics occurring around you or the world. Getting updates can be tedious or even annoying if they are simply rants or raves, but it gives a perspective of that individual current state on a topic. People are able to reach common reason or agree with people like many done to band together on issues. 

3) Social media has opened a gateway for hackers and bullies to create havoc on the internet. Cyber-bullying has been an issue throughout social media cites and result in causality because not dealt with correctly. Personal information can be exposed for these bullies to obtain and harass the user continuously and anonymously. Sites also require personal information such as birthday, interests, and/or location/address which can result in lost of personal information if hackers can get their hands on it . 

4)Social media has been used to achieve social justice all around. Revolts in Egypt and Syria to shooting and natural disasters in America. People can band and communicate faster and stream truthful information to the public by using Social Media.


Vancouver Riot (remember the big deal this caused?)


5) Overall Social Media has benefited mankind but still imposed great risks if not protected correctly. However, because the overall benefit we can gain from social media it out weights the cons. In the 21st century most phones have social media apps and can connect to the internet. With this people can always stay connected one way or another.
