Malayah Johsnon Social Media Survival Guide

Online I appear as different people but none of them are really me.When I search my first and last name none of the girls are me.But when I type in my @ name on twitter every thing came up.Most of my picture from photo gallery came up and other pictures of my friends.I think people will perceive me as pretty and nice.One example on how people perceive you online vs. in person is the “Selfie Girls”.Before I post anything online I think how people would react to it.Different people have different reactions to things and perspectives. People judge people based off of there social media accounts.One pros of posting online is that you can share an experience with other.One con about posting anything online is that people can take your picture and turn it into something its not and people can just run with it.One example of how people can take things and run with it is when someone screen shotted a picture of a little and turned into a memons.Lack of Control, Permanence and Immediacy has an impact on our lives because people dont have control over what they do with what you put online.But not just online people also take what you give them and turn it into something its not.People also can get information about you without you evening know.It is easy to hack into computers and other devices.When you make any post online you should think about how people react to it.You also should think about the different perspectives that different people have.You can feel one way about something but others can  feel  disrepected.Today companies are doing a little research on you.Companies are looking at you social media accounts to figure out should they hire you based off of your appearance online.They think would this person be a good look for our company or will they embarrass our company.I think this is good idea because you can get an idea of who is working for your company.The Free Speach is saying that you can say what you want to say but there is a limit.Free Speach is protected under the law in the First Adendmen.”The First Amendment does not protect individuals from facing civil penalties if they defame another person through written or verbal communication.”An Internet Troll is a person that likes to start problems over the internet for the fun of it.They start arguments by talkind about you to make you feel bad about yourself.We can stop trolling by treating others how we want to be treated.We also could stop trolling by keeping a postive vibe and community.The pros of posting anonymously is that people wouldnt know who you are.Another pro of posting anonymously is that you are protecting your self from people thinking of you in a bad way.One con of posting is that people dont know who you really are.



Tips for posting online.

1.You should always think how other people would think about you’ve posted.

2.You should think how will it effect you in the long run.

3.Finally,you should think would your parents think about what you’ve posted.

Good job Malayah! I liked your example of a con of social media was that people can take your content and run with it, because once you post something it is free for anyone to reuse. I also like how you said to think about what your parents would think, because that would be similar to what a future employer or roommate or co-worker might think.
