The quantitative research about how snapchat elicits more jealousy than facebook is an important topic. The article shed more light on snapchat usage among social media users and its motivations, which is an understudies area in terms of jealousy and interpersonal relationship compared to facebook which has been in existence for many years with an active users of 1.65 billion as at first quarter of 2016. Another reason why this topic is important is because of the relatively fast risen of snapchat to prominence in the digital world of social social networking sites (SNSs), eventhough it was officially lunch bin September 2011. The so called self-destructing photo-sharing app has gained more users than many existing apps that also serve related purpose. Facebook is still leading the Social networking sites in terms of rating but snap chat has gone mainstream in a big way forcing the facebook owner to offered a whooping sum of 3 billion dollars for full acquisition to the founder and co-founder because of the threat the app posed to both the facebook and other social media networking sites that have been in existence before this photo-sharing app joined the digital world of
“Social media is about sociology and psychology more than technology” says technology analyst and award-winning author Brian Solis. This quote is the basis of Snapchat and the exact reason to why it is the perfect app for teenagers.
The multibillion-dollar industry that college sports has become has richly rewarded the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), university athletic programs and top football and basketball coaches. Athletes, however, continue to play under a decades-old system in which scholarships pay for tuition and room and board but fall short of covering the full cost of attending school. In return, players are expected to maintain a rigorous training and playing schedule while keeping up their studies. This falls very short to being fair for the student athletes, who are the ones putting their sweat, hearts, bodies and health on the line, day in and day out.
A leader has integrity, and are aware of their value and what they represent. However, I feel that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr leadership skills and his self-sacrifices made him one of America’s greatest leaders of the twentieth century. A leader is constantly growing and reaching to expand their leadership skills. Also, leadership can also be learned and developed in certain individuals that have the tenacity, motivation, and the determination to become a leader. Nonetheless, the theories that are discussed in Unit I study guide examines the approaches that are used in leadership, as well as the difference between leadership and management skills. Further, one example given was to think of leadership as a movement, being able to see where the organization is trying to go. At the same time management is viewed as standing still, being stationary and doing your absolute best and working with what you have in front of you. However, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr transformational leadership skills, characteristics, and his vision for change in the society all contributed to his outstanding leadership abilities.
In a world where everyone is connected sharing information is constant and expanding, who is really happy? With constant feeds from different social media platforms displaying parties, concerts and youthfulness; it continues to illustrates the happiness moments in life. Snapchat has become an application to display small aspects of life but I find no one really displays their disapproval of life or downfalls. Eyes are constantly watching every interaction we display with a click of finger. This generation is used to the constant connection in everyday life. This happiness is not legitimate; it is mostly a facade to makes their “followers” envious of their life and materials. Just check
Snapchat is widely recognized for its photographs and features, but of those features, the messaging portion should not go unnoticed. Many users of Snapchat use the social platform to communicate with their peers, friends, family, and so forth. For the individuals who wish not to partake in the photographing portion of Snapchat, they can still communicate with their friend by messaging them. The idea that this platform can in fact unite people is a peculiar one indeed, but it is also very true. Snapchat has a feature that allows its users to find their friends, or to see who is closest to them. This feature acts in a positive way because it can help assure the safety of the other users who have this feature enabled; ensuring that your child is in fact at their friends house, or at least in the area. Aside from the find friend’s location feature, the way Snapchat is used itself can unite individuals. Being able to see family members, friends, or other loved ones when users are far from home, can bring a sense of unity among
One might ask himself why any society comes to fall. With set laws and regulations regarding what and who is right and wrong, a society should remain stable. The problem is that this system only functions properly when all citizens of the society follow the same set of regulations. When citizens are held under or hold themselves under different standards, the system is upset, such was the case in Animal Farm. After the rebellion, the animals agreed on a set of seven rules to collectively follow going forward.

Saying that it has begin to go back to its original roots, being a platform that keeps people connected and providing the opportunity to get reconnected with previous connections. Often adolescents value the independent self; DeAndra (2010) states that the independent self values the principle of separating the self for others. This is evident in adolescents’ use of social networking sites. For instance, Snapchat capitalizes on current connections and self-expression; which gives adolescents a prime opportunity and sense of power to facilitate their self-presentation. Snapchat’s video blog-like feature of sharing ten second videos gives adolescents the opportunity to craft themselves in a particular fashion to their followers. Also, this feature caters towards an instant gratification of information

People can argue that Snapchat is not leading people away from the real world, but drawing people closer through the virtual world that will lead into a deeper connection among people. Taking in consideration the features on Snapchat it can be argued that, “In its focus on short videos and images, Snapchat is also similar to other tools that support face-to-face photo sharing … and enable lightweight photo sharing to increase social presence … argues that sharing photos ‘operates at the level of emotional perception and increases our capacity for emotion and to feel together,’ with another person,” published in Information,

Throughout the past decade, numerous reports and tests have been conducted to see whether or not there has been a link between social media and low self-esteem.

The rapid growth of technology in our society has become more dominant than it was in the 17th and 18th century. Today, technology is used for almost everything in our day to day lives. But the most common usage of technology is for communication and industrialization. However, every good thing has its disadvantage if it is over used, and since technology has become very dominant, it is used by both young and older people but more predominant among the youth of the today.
