She uses a clever analogy comparing MySpace and Facebook to the invention of the telephone, this helps demonstrate to the reader the importance of social media to the average person (Fleming 438). Then she quickly introduces the risks of the internet, she uses the phrase “comes at a price” (Fleming 439). She makes her self-seem credible by not just saying its importance, but also throwing in a few facts about the subject. Using well-known universities and key figures in social media, Fleming also adds to the credibility of the article. By end of the fourth paragraph she has stated her claim, and made herself seem

Brandon Stanton the author of Humans of New York successfully used pathos and ethos to explain his subject’s stories through the multimodal genre in todays social media world. Using pop culture, Humans of New York became a household name for expressing some difficult material happening in todays society. HONY became popular because the use of online sources to spark a conversation about issues in the world, has increased as well as the use of ethos and pathos in a post. Nearly eight to ten Americans are on Facebook (Greenwood), the possibly of people seeing these social issues online is increasing tremendously.

In the articles “How Social Media Is Having a Positive Impact on Our Culture” by Josh Rose and “Is Facebook Making Us Lonely” by Stephen Marche, the authors discuss opposing views on the topic of social media. Rose argues that social media has had a

In addition from the two previews rhetorical strategies, the article “How Social Media Is Having a Positive Impact on Our Culture” have a good example of rhetorical strategy when it comes to ethos. One example is when “he elaborates how the internet and social media makes society to act upon actions that are never seen before. Also, that the internet is very difficult yet entertaining and we often do not appreciate it as much as we should” (613). By this time, the author is preparing himself to establish his trustworthiness by adding, “consider peer-to-peer networking as just one example, where the tasks are distributed among the group to form a whole” (613). The audience can conclude that he has the knowledge necessary in order to build his

With the application of Logos in the article for relationships, we can see the dramatic difference from how the social media outlet was planned to be used. Remember Zuckerberg wanted to “chart a “social graph” of human relationships the way that cartographers once charted the world.” We now have so many people that we call “friends” on Facebook, that we have no real human connection with them. If you tried hard to find links between some “Facebook friends” the only link you would find is their social media outlets. It is illogical to call someone a friend when if you were in a jam they would not help you out, because they do not personally know you. Mathis said it more eloquently

Whereas the conflict theory perspective focuses on who controls the media alongside, who governs that information within communities, symbolic interactionism concentrates on the influence social networking sites have on societies, instead. Further elaborating, interactionists gravitate towards one-to-one interactions of communications, rather than analyzing something from a macro to mid-level such as the functionalist, or, rather than at the conflict theory's micro-level analysis. By the same token, embodied in the belief system of the interactionist's perspective, is the concept that relationships between individuals within a community are of the utmost importance. Additionally, this theory's outlook centers on the thought that the way people comprehend their social worlds, is the exchange of meaning through language and symbols. (OpenStax, 2015).

When it comes to entertainment especially in today's day and age the world revolves around it. You have to realize that personally I don't know one person who doesn't wake up every morning and look at their phone for missed text or to check their social media and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. There are many different ways that various forms of entertainment media have shaped American culture and its value. Starting off I think the one thing that really started the whole social media hype was Myspace because it gave people a real opportunity to express themselves and really show the world their talents and ideas, yes YouTube gave the world a chance to look at different people's talent and ideas but Myspace gave you a chance to express really yourself and share your current

Recently, people are now discussing how social media changes our life, whether it is good or bad. Some of them think that social media is a kind of fad because of its rapid development. Others think that it is really useful and makes our life easier than before.

The title will mislead the audience because to most people Facebook is the foremost social media website in the world. It can’t be possible for it to be causing a decline in human interaction. The artwork shows a man using the Facebook logo as a periscope. The man is inside an enclosure peeking out at the world through Facebook. Pawel uses his satire style and metaphors again to show how people isolate themselves behind screens. People are becoming more socially awkward because of all the mobile devices. Few people have the skill of being able to talk face to face. People find it scary or awkward; it’s much easier to just hide behind a screen. Social media is one of the biggest influence in this growing cultural issue. It seems like everyone has it and post every moment of their life so there is really no reason to communicate. People can just sit at home and know what everyone is doing without even having a conversation with them. It’s kind of scary when you think about it. These pieces go to show that Pawel really knows how to tell a story with a simple painting. The simplicity of his works often elicits a smile or even a laugh, but after further inspection a deeper meaning begins to grow in the mind. His artwork tells a story that many people know all too well, but just haven’t been forced to come to terms with

“Social media allows people to connect with each other to create and share information. It is people-powered communication, an authentic dialogue motivated by a basic human desire to share information” (CIPD, Social Media and Employee Voice Report 2013). ‘Click’ and my message is on its way to my friend’s Facebook inbox hundred of miles away. The astonishing speed of how quick we can communicate in today’s societies, all thanks to social media. The invention of Facebook simplified everything we know about communication. We can connect to people whenever and wherever, sharing information has never been more convenient and exciting. In Shane Hipps’ Article, “ Is Facebook Killing Our Souls?,” he has no intention to impede technological advancements, instead he wants users to understand technologies with insights. According to my research, although Hipps ' points has some merits, I disagree with him because he overgeneralized the impacts that Facebook and other social media has on users’ behaviors and identities.

Since the invention of the Internet, people have become indulged with its copious functions, from making advanced programs to learning how to do new projects to social media. Social media has evolved over the years, from Friendster to Myspace to Facebook, since the late 1990s, and people have incorporated it into their lives. It is the modern way for people to connect and communicate with anyone and everyone across the globe. Plus, social media is everywhere; people utilize it when they are on the bus, at the checkout line, and even when they are using the restroom. In Peggy Orenstein’s “The Way We Live Now: I Tweet, Therefore I Am,” she propounds that social media has altered society. Social media has changed society’s priorities, characteristics, and mentality.

Social media is any website that allows social interaction. Social media is growing rapidly throughout the world. More adults and teenagers are joining sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter to interact with friends, family, and strangers. The introduction of social media has changed the world in many ways. It affects each individual in different ways.

On my journey to explore whether social media is a blessing or a curse, I ended up with several dramatic consequences. As Scott Brickman, in the article, “the advancement of the communication media,” points out “the boon in lights of the technology.” He proves that Social networking has become a necessary part of our communication culture that cannot be disregarded easily.

This generation is always on the phone, eyes are stuck to the computer. Girls are making duck faces and guys are throwing peace sign in all their pictures. Young impressible minds constantly streaming the web; copying what they see on the internet believing they can do it better. The problem is clear as day. Social websites tend to change certain characteristics of people. Some of these characteristics can be for the better or for the worse. And most of these characteristics are affecting the children the most, since they are the most impressible. And sadly accidents and death has been happening; but there is a bright side to these changes of characteristics. Thru my research I was able to find three website that had most effect on changing of characteristics. This proves my theory of through social networks dramatically has been changing people.
