Social Media and it's Impacts

Social Media Impacts

Social media has changed the way people document history by giving them the power to create and share their own narratives, experiences, and perspectives. It has created a decentralized system of information dissemination that is not controlled by any single entity or organization. People can now use social media to document their own experiences and those of others, which can contribute to a more diverse and accurate representation of history.

People have used social media to win the hearts and minds of people by creating content that resonates with their audiences, be it through humor, inspiration, or educational content. For example, during the Arab Spring, activists used social media platforms to organize protests and bring attention to their causes. This helped to mobilize large numbers of people, spread information about human rights violations, and ultimately led to changes in government policies.

Social media has also been used in both positive and negative ways. On the positive side, it has been used to spread awareness about important issues and connect people from different parts of the world. On the negative side, it has been used to spread false information, incite violence, and perpetuate hate speech. For example, during the 2020 US presidential election, false information was spread on social media that influenced the outcome of the election.

Social media has become a powerful mobilization channel because of its ability to reach large numbers of people quickly and easily. It has given people the ability to organize and participate in events, movements, and causes that they care about, regardless of their physical location. Social media has also been used by businesses and organizations to promote their products and services, as well as to engage with customers and stakeholders.

Knapp's Relation Model

 Intimate Relationships        Many people have intimate relationships throughout their life, whether they last forever or only a few months it's apart if human nature. Many people want to keep them private or even an open book, its dependent on who that person is and where they come from. One thing undeniable is Knapp's model, I think it's pretty accurate on each stage.      While each stage has it's own implications I think a stage where I stand with a current building  relationship is at the Intensifying part. It can be hard to evaluate a relationship you currently have or one from the past, that's why I find difficulty to exactly pin point where it stands. Although, the intensity and formality of the relationship is becoming less formal and easier to make plans. I think its pretty easy to stay I'm at the beginning of this stage. https://www.communicationtheory.org/knapps-relationship-model/ Online communication in this aspect have it...

Socio Semiotics

  Social semiotics is a methodology that involves the study of how meaning is produced and communicated through visual and linguistic signs within a cultural context. This methodology was developed by scholars such as Roland Barthes, Umberto Eco, and Gunther Kress, who sought to understand how visual and linguistic signs interact in various cultural settings. Social semiotics is important because it helps us to understand how images and words work together to create meaning, and how this meaning is influenced by social and cultural factors. One of the key rules of social semiotics is that the meaning of a sign is not fixed or absolute, but is instead produced through a process of negotiation between the sign and the viewer. This means that the same image or word can have different meanings depending on the cultural context in which it is used. For example, photos at the top of a page may be seen as more important or authoritative than those at the bottom, while photos to the left o...

  About Me Blog My name is Barret Brundage, I am from Atlanta, Georgia. My current home is in Portland, Oregon. I'm working towards a Business Admin degree, with a future minor in accounting. I'd like the idea to work in the business force of a company. I have the abroad idea in mind, hopefully to expand my knowledge in world business. I have a bunch of hobbies I'm interested in, I love attaining new skills to carry throughout my life. One of my favorites was to be out in nature cliff jumping and swimming. That adrenaline rush gets me every time. That feeling of pre-jump to mid-air is beyond my mind. I've been jumps and stunts like this since I was a child, although they didn't;t seem dangerous to me at the the time, they now get to me sometimes before I jump. As I'm getting older I'm starting to stray away from the dangerous activities I used to perform...
