Due to this, more companies are turning to monitoring their employee’s social media sites. This is done both to look at what current employees are saying and to check on applicants to see if they are too good to be…

Social Media absolutely kills me. As my peers and I have grown up with this constant knowledge being birthed into society, it’s easy to forget this wasn’t always the case. However, aren’t we always saying this? It’s not new knowledge that we are as students aware that we didn’t always have it this easy… yet we’ve let this monster control us.

The article “trial by twitter” written by Ariel Levy really interested me because of the topic it was on. Almost everybody in the twenty-second century is using social media and it plays a big part in most people's everyday life. People use it to share what they are doing or even just to communicate. It is a way for people to connect without there having to be in person interaction. This can sometimes be a good and even sometimes a bad thing. Social media can tribute both positive and negative…

We live in an era where social media is at its peak.

In his article “Small Change: Why the revolution will not be tweeted”, he argues that “social media can’t provide what social change has always required.” In his defense, he asserts that social media is a tool, not a cause of social change. He narrates with a number of examples, using…
