Professional Dilemmas within Social Media Online networking and social websites have become at the modern era to be not only helpful but a necessity and part of everyone’s daily routine. They are the single biggest online activity in the UK at the start of 2011 (Ly & Ratnaike, 2011, 1) and a source of business network and entertainment alike. However, there are downfalls when it comes to the constant use of the social media services, especially pertaining privacy and professional boundaries. Social media must be handled carefully by professionals as they can be unsafe in their limited security settings, their use of personal information for marketing purposes and the risk of breaking professional codes of conduct.

It’s no longer just about competing with the business down the street, but internationally, and on the internet. As with any industrialized nation, we have our strengths and weaknesses. The important thing is to recognize these strengths and weaknesses in order to know what needs to be done to stay competitive in the global market. The old saying “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” doesn’t apply when you’re trying to maintain your position at the top of the world.

Particularly in the internet age, it is increasingly difficult to keep all personal and private information completely secure.

I am going to talk about why technology is the great symbol to represent our society. Usually when people see us what they see according to them is our technology making us more naive, detached, and uninterested on the world around us, but is this true. In reality I believe we are no different than those generations before us, the only difference is the way we express ourselves, the boomer generations had the guitar, we have face book, they had Woodstock we have the internet, this is not at all me trying to compare to see which one is better, but more of me trying to show how the way we communicate and how spread our ideals change and because of this our culture and society change.

This is due to the public’s expectation of the media as a watchdog and the moral obligation to do so even if the media lacks real formal power. The political state of a nation which determines the liberality of the media also contributes Putting these reasons aside, the media also have times in which it does not act in public’s interest.
