Getting The Best Out Of Social Media
Social networks have always been part of human life. Our first-ever soc
ial network is our family, friends and our school community.
There are other networks to which you might belong: It can be your Girls Guiding or Girl Scouting community, your musical team, your neighbourhood etc. Every network affects you differently and shapes your beliefs, activities, worldviews, likes and dislikes.
Look at social media and you will see that you also have a social network there made of the people you know, which extends to the people your contacts are connected to. There are also the pages, groups and products you might follow. Social media is also a network and just as every other, it affects our lives, beliefs and well–being.
Although there are important risks using social media, we can also acknowledge that they can be used in positive ways to benefit our lives.
Think about how using social media touches and affects your life. Try to think about any risks or negative effects of keeping a social media account. Are there also any benefits, as well as ways you could get the best out of your social media use?
