“likes” measures the about of new likers of a brand. b. Carmex: engagements are more important than likes because you can have people “like” pages with promotions without any knowledge of the product or true interest to ever purchase the products.

Both users and nonusers of Carmex will potentially take the survey because Carmex will not know who they are sending the survey to.

They may become so used to communicating via internet that they lose basic communication skills and can’t hold a face to face conversation. Prior to social media, people were able to have secret affairs.

Sharing passwords, setting rules as to who your significant other can and can’t have on their friends list, or even going as far as making them delete social media all together will cause many problems between insecure couples.

Alicia Zapata English 126 October 31, 2012 In the essay, “Are Social Networks Messing with Your Head?,” David DiSalvo convinces his readers that, “as social networks proliferate, they are changing the way people think about the Internet, from a tool used in solitary anonymity to a medium that touches on questions about human nature and identity; who we are, how we feel about ourselves, and how we act toward one another” (501). He bases his argument on multiple psychological research which indicates social networking sites do not cause loneliness, rather it makes those who were lonely prior to social networking lonelier, and for those who are not lonely, social networking sites actually help them continue their online relationships offline, which isn’t a bad thing in that case. It has also been researched that social networking is a self-esteem booster, and is even paving the way for those with narcissist personalities, however, just as it can be a self-esteem booster, social networking has the ability to bring down self-esteem just as fast. DiSalvo also talks about how we are obsessively going online, spending unhealthy amounts of time on social network websites to the point where it starts to become debilitating. The essay concludes with the idea that there is a transformational current going on, and social media is not only changing the way we interact with one another, but it is also affecting our brains, having a psychological effect on us.

In the media today teens are portrayed in a negative manner for example in a lot of soaps like “Home & Away” there is a bad boy theme at times. This is shown through the introduction of the River Boys gang.
Author Louis Kraft states that, social networking has taken too much control of our daily lives, to the point where it leads to people being envious and depressed (2011). Activities such as cyber bullying have been more prominent and have increased due to social media, resulting in many depressed victims. Also, terrorist groups, such as the Al-Qaeda and the Al-Shabbab, use social networks to spread messages of hate and violence, which may lead to religious conflict and fear in the world. It’s extremely unfortunate that a system that was supposed to bring us so close and working together has actually backfired into one that creates disruption. Likewise, the never ending use of social network causes people to get spend a lot of time, glued to their phones and other wireless devices, forgetting the importance of actual human to human contact.
