Spreading your Ideas with Social Media




What is the purpose of spreading your ideas with social media?
    I believe the purpose of spreading your ideas on social media is to reach a wider audience. What I mean is that, with social media, instead of just connecting with friends and family. You can also connect with people who have similar interests and ideas. This allows for more bonds to form through social media and also helps you to contribute to a community on social media. Bonds can also be formed through a mutual cause. For example, people who are suffering from cancer or friends and family who knows someone with cancer can join a community on social media. This allows for distraught family members to find comfort in others who are in a similar situation. Members of this group can also help to create awareness for cancer patients and survivors. With the help of socializing media members can reach a wider audience to spread their message and to get more people involved with the community. 


    What other information do you need to consider to better understand spreading your ideas with social media?

    Spreading your ideas with social media means just that. Spreading your thoughts on social media for others to see. One thing to remember about spreading your ideas on social media is to remember to set your privacy settings on your posts. Depending on what you post you may want to make sure you know who it can be seen by. For example, if you were sending out invitations to a house party to your close friends and family, then you should make sure that it can only be seen by the people in your friends list. Instead of having your invitation be seen publicly and then have random strangers arrive to your house. Another good ideas to remember about spreading your ideas on social media is that everyone has their own opinions. No matter what cause you are for or against, more often than not people will say what they have on their mind. The most important thing to remember is that it is hard to change peoples minds about their beliefs, and that doing so is a fool’s errand. If you manage to do so great, but don’t feel like you have to convince every naysayer that your opinion is the correct one. 


    The purpose of the assignment is to understand why sharing your ideas on social media is important. As well as to understand how you can share your ideas on social media more effectively.



    The key question at the heart of the assignment is how do you share your ideas on social media?

    Week 5 - Collaborative Connections

      What is the purpose of a collaborative connection? The purpose of a collaborative connection is to meet people with similar goals and/or interests in order to create bonds to help each other achieve their goals. Collaborative connections, as I interpret it, a community of like-minded people reaching out to others just like themselves on social media and creating bonds and sub-communities. People connecting online and supporting each other in a positive way and thus working together to achieve a common goal. For example, a group of cancer survivors or friends and families of cancer patients can form a sub-community online to connect with each other. Consoling and comforting those in times of great hard-ships, and maybe organizing events to help raise awareness or money for families in dire need. If you decided to make a collaborate connection online what would happen? Ideally, what I would want to happen would be to maybe create a connection online, I would want people to of cours...

    Week 10 - Essential Questions About Sharing

      What do you take for granted or assume about sharing? What I assume/take for granted about sharing is the idea that people who post stuff online, usually do it to be heard and seen. Whether it be for their close friends and families, or on a more public platform. In some extreme cases, some people will post stuff online in hopes to become internet famous, or the next big influencer. In other words, people use social media to share their thoughts and opinions on various topics. People also use social media as a way to “show off” a window into their lives. The food they’re eating, where they visited, who they hang out with, all get shared on social media. Most do it for fun or recreationally, while others do it as their main source of income, or try to. For example, a woman by the name of  Lissette Calveiro ,  put herself into $10,000 in debt trying to become an Instagram influencer. She bought expensive clothes, and traveling to different locations all for Instagram. T...

    Week 4 - Intellectual Standards

    INTELLECTUAL STANDARDS Clarity I understand "clarity" to mean to be clear and understandable. In other words, being easy to follow and understand so that the viewers can follow along. You can also achieve clarity by asking questions when something is unclear or can be easily misunderstood. An example of someone exhibiting clarity with social media would be my friend advertising for a fundraiser on Facebook. My friend would then give the details of what the fundraiser is for, when/where it is going to be, and other information. This way everyone will be on the same page and will know what to expect should they wish to participate. Let's also say that I don't know how to get to the location, I would then ask, "How do you get to the fundraiser?" or something like that and my friend will then post detailed directions so that everyone will know how to get there. Accuracy I understand "accuracy" to mean as factually correct as possible. In other wor...
