“How to be a responsible user of the social media”
Websites and programs that emphasize on communication, community-based input, engagement, content-sharing, and collaboration are
referred to as social media. Among the various sorts of social media include forums, micro blogging, social networking, social bookmarking, social curating, and websites.
Individuals can use social media to stay in touch with friends and family. Some individuals use social media to network and locate employment opportunities, connect with people all over the world who share similar interests, and express their own ideas, feelings, and insights. And because so many people are currently using social media, it is unavoidable that it will be misused. However, there are five methods in which we can utilize the media freely and without causing harm to others.
And because so many people are currently using social media, it is unavoidable that it will be misused. However, there are five methods in which we can utilize the media freely and without causing harm to others.
1. Safety- All of our personal information that we put on social media may easily be exploited against us by others. Because the media has such a broad reach, it may be harmful to users if they are not careful while posting information on the platforms they use. Always keep in mind that personal information must be kept safe, and that you must guard it as well as other people’s personal information to avoid falling victim to impersonators.
2. Think first- We must consider carefully about what we will share since social media posts are not easily undone, especially when they spread. Let’s avoid discussing topics that might lead to confusion and, in some cases, misrepresentation among your audience. We are allowed to publish any hobbies, preferences, or remarks we like, but we must consider all of this before posting to minimize user pandemonium.
3. Be Respectful- Respect for all social media users is essential for efficient operation of the platform and the avoidance of misunderstandings among its users. Different sorts of views and actions may be seen in the media since it is a place where many people engage. There will be those who disagree with your post and those who agree with it. Nonetheless, we must show respect for one another and refrain from arguing in a way that might lead to online bullying.
4. Credits- Everything in the media comes from the ideas of a variety of people of various ages. Giving acknowledgment to the creator of the material you just shared qualifies you as a responsible user. Any act of claiming the work of others is considered disrespectful and can result in legal action. After all, who wants their efforts taken away without any credit?
5. Create- The media is designed to appeal to a wide range of people. You may make anything you want here and share it with others. Because of the creativity and innovation they come up with and share with people who read their postings, all social media users are creators. We can do a lot with the media if we utilize it as a tool to promote goodwill and solidarity. As a responsible creator, you must ensure that your work is beneficial, inspirational, and encouraging to others. Let’s start by setting a positive example as a responsible social media creator and user.
Thanks! Your article looks good so far but I’m not sure what you mean in point 2: “Think first- We must consider carefully about what we will share since social media posts are not easily undone, especially when they spread. Let’s avoid discussing topics that might lead to confusion and, in some cases, misrepresentation among your audience. We are allowed to publish any hobbies, preferences, or remarks we like, but we must consider all of this before posting to minimize user pandemonium.”
I like this topic a lot and I like how you composed it. However, I feel that I am not getting a general idea for a specific audience, it seems quite vague. Perhaps a conclusion can help you add more meaning and tie everything together.
Dear Yelyzaveta Sukhostavets,
I liked the topic you chose and the way you introduced your article. I liked how you started your 2nd paragraph with what kind of people use social media, how social media can be used for many reasons, and therefore it would be “unavoidable that it will be misused.” I would recommend removing the (1, 2, and 3..) instead of that, making them look like paragraphs and adding a conclusion at the end. I really like how straightforward and clear your article is. It’s very infomative.
