Social Media Communications

-

 I recently listened to the "Social Media and Communication" episode of the "Online Marketing Made Easy" podcast, which discusses the impact of social media on communication and marketing. This podcast is highly relevant to our discussions in class about the impact of social media on interpersonal communication and relationships.

The podcast featured several experts who shared their experiences and insights on the role of social media in communication. For instance, social media strategist Amy Porterfield discussed the importance of creating engaging and authentic content on social media to build trust and connection with the audience. This aligns with our class discussions about the impact of social media on self-disclosure and impression management.

Another expert, marketing expert Mari Smith, discussed the use of social media to foster meaningful conversations and relationships with customers. This relates to our class discussions about the impact of social media on communication channels and the use of social media in customer relationship management.

Furthermore, the podcast discussed the challenges of managing social media communication, including responding to negative feedback and managing online reputation. This aligns with our class discussions on the impact of social media on conflict management and the strategies to deal with online negativity.

Overall, the "Social Media and Communication" episode of Online Marketing Made Easy podcast provides valuable insights into the impact of social media on communication and marketing. It effectively connects with the concepts we have been discussing in class, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the intersection of social media and interpersonal communication.

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's pros and cons. Tex

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.

Digital Arguments

  Why people argue online incorrectly? Lack of face-to-face communication: Online communication lacks the personal touch of face-to-face communication, which makes it easier for people to hide behind a screen and say things they wouldn't normally say in person. Anonymity: Some online platforms allow users to remain anonymous, which can lead to increased aggression and hostility. Confirmation bias: Many people seek out online communities and forums that align with their pre-existing beliefs, leading to echo chambers where opposing views are dismissed or attacked.

Be respectful: It's important to show respect for the other person, even if you disagree with them. Avoid using derogatory language or personal attacks. Stay on topic: Keep the discussion focused on the topic at hand and avoid bringing in irrelevant or unrelated
