After the issue that happened with the media around 3 weeks ago, you would wonder what other students think about social media as a whole. I sway on the line of I don’t really like it but I’m okay with it, only use it for talking with friends that I don’t have their number. but what do others feel about the area of social media?
Astro Demers, they have some calm but deep views of social media. “it doesn’t make me feel more connected, many of my closest friends moved and we could only find each other through social media, and with that in mind I also feel that who people find on the media and what they say on it, do to because you don’t know who is going to find it and take it the wrong way.” stated Astro
Izumi Galang, he has a few deeper and some very true points about the Issue that happened a few weeks ago and how he felt it impacted him. “i felt quite frightened and had quite a bit of anxiety when i heard that a few people wanted to do what was said during power hour, to the point that i was even high awareness of my surroundings in case it did happen that day. However, I kept myself in a protective mindset so I could keep the people around me safe and also keep the friends that I care a lot about safe as well.” stated Izumi
Jackson Ericson, he stated some shorter but also very good points on the whole extent of social media. “it can be both harmful and not harmful depending on who’s making the nice or harmful things that could be said. The bad news though is that no matter who has said the things, until they get caught then they wont stop.” stated Jackson
In conclusion, the media can be used for some good things and some not so good things, but the things that are put on the media reflect only to who is behind the screen not those on the other side of other devices. people who put things on the internet do it for viewers and not for their own want to put it out there. People nowadays have to worry about how many people see their post, or how many likes they are going to get. that’s one reason why I’m on the side that media should be limited to teens at least 16 years and older especially due to the fact that 90% of the population in the world is 15 year old’s and younger on the media. and most things on there are not very age appropriate.
