Hello everyone I am Ma.Rochelle Daliva and today I was about to discuss about Fake News in Social Media. Fake News is a misinformation or hoaxes spread via broadcast news media or online social media. Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to damage the real ones, entity, or person, It is often using sensationalist, dishonest, or outright fabricated headlines to increase readership, online sharing, and Internet click revenue.

Fake News today

Hello readers!! I’am Ma.Rochelle Daliva and today I was about to discuss about Fake News In social Media. Fake News is a misinformation or hoaxes spread via broadcast news media or online social media. Fake news is written and published with the intent to mislead in order to damage the real ones, entity. In today’s society, especially our generation we are probably know that social media has become a part of our everyday lives. We have access to all types of information in the palm of our hands through our cellphones, iPads and other handheld devices.

Social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., has taken the technological world to a whole new level. Although we see how it can serve as positive through source of communication, it can also serve as a negatively such ascyber bullying and including the recent phenomenon that is commonly being referred to as “Fake News”. Several research studies have focused on the public’s reliance on social media for their information. Hu, Liu and Zhang (2008) discovered people turn to their social media feeds for the news. That means that Twitter and Facebook, the platforms that have, in some ways, democratized news more than ever before, are allowing the public to be conned every single day by fake news that scrolls across their screen.

Smock, Ellison, Lampe and Wohn (2011) analyzed the reasons how people are being fed by fake news stories. Among the reasons they found was people tend to share a story particularly “fake news” they later found out was false.

Social Inequality #Blog Entry #11

8:22 AM BY Unknown 0 Comments

Some of you are might familiar when you hear the word "Inequality in Society". This word might be a simple or familiar one but contains a very deep and serious content. Social inequality is characterized by the existence of unequal opportunities and rewards for different social positions or statuses within a group or society. It contains structured and recurrent patterns of unequal distributions of goods, wealth, opportunities, rewards, and punishments. This word may also be understood or be known as discrimination because when you treat unequally it means your also discriminating. Hundreds of millions of Millennials suffer from discrimination in the world. This not only violates a basic human right, but has wider social and economic consequences which perpetuate inequality while worsening social tensions. According to Ashley Crossman, Social inequality results from a society organized by hierarchies of class, race, and gender that broker access to resources and rights in ways that make their distribution unequal.

Two Main Theories of Social Inequality There are two main views of social inequality within sociology. One view aligns with the functionalist theory and the other aligns with conflict theory. Functionalist theorists believe that inequality is inevitable and desirable and plays an important function in society. Important positions in society require more training and thus should receive more rewards. Social inequality and social stratification, according to this view, lead to a meritocracy based on ability. Conflict theorists, on the other hand, view inequality as resulting from groups with power dominating less powerful groups. They believe that social inequality prevents and hinders societal progress as those in power repress the powerless people in order to maintain the status quo. In today's world, this work of domination is achieved primarily through the power of ideology--our thoughts, values, beliefs, world views, norms, and expectations--through a process known as cultural hegemony.

Effects of inequality There are a number of reasons why inequality may harm a country’s performance not only our country but also individuals who are living i a particular country. At a microeconomic level, inequality increases ill health and health spending and reduces the educational performance. These two factors lead to a reduction in the productive potential of the work force. At a macroeconomic level, inequality can be a brake on growth and can lead to instability. That's all for my blog. I hoped you learn and appreciate what is intended on it. I would like to share awareness that everyone of us are equally the same. We might think that other's are wealthy in different aspect but always remember that each one of us has it's own strength and weaknesses so let's all respect it. Always support and spread love. God Bless everyone!

The Power of Social Media # Blog Entry 10

4:30 AM BY Unknown 0 Comments

All of us are aware of the existence of social media, even kids. Facebook, twitter, instagram are the most common examples of social media sites. But what is really the relevance of these sites? Let's discuss it one by one.

These social media sites helps us to connect with the people that we want to interact without spending so much money, and distance is not a problem here, even if they are nearby or very far, you can contact anyone specially your love ones abroad. The phrase "I'm just one call away" was replaced with "I'm just one chat away". It is also very relevant to the students like me. It makes our life easier, specially when we have group activities, and even if we don't have classes, we can discuss anything through chat, it saves a little time since we didn't have to gather in one place just to have brainstorming.

We can also share pictures or anything through posting and tweeting, by that our love ones will be updated with our life and they will know that we are doing good just by seeing those photos that we have posted.

Aside from the relevance, social media sites also have disadvantages and one of it is the social media addiction. Many of the teenagers became social media addict, meaning they tend to spend their whole time using their social media accounts leading to their education and health to be affected. And also social media became a bridge to cybercrimes, cyberbullying, cybersex and many more.

Social media has been very relevant to us and it will continue to be one if we will just use it in a proper way. We just have to know our limitations so that it will not affect anything or anyone including ourselves.

Using social media web sites is among the most common activity of today's children and adolescents. Any web site that allows social interaction is considered a social media site, including social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and video sites such as YouTube and blogs.

Such sites offer today's youth a portal for entertainment and communication and have grown exponentially in recent years. For this reason, it is important that parents become aware of the nature of social media sites, given that not all of them are healthy environments for children and adolescents. Pediatricians are in a unique position to help families understand these sites and to encourage healthy use and urge parents to monitor for potential problems with cyberbullying, “Facebook depression, sexting, and exposure to inappropriate content. The benefits of individual using social media is to socialite and Communicate, the social media sites allow each individual to accomplish online many of the tasks that are important to them. To enhanced learning opportunities of each individual and stay connected with one another by collaborating and exchanging ideas about homeworks or projects. And also to access health information in each particular person.

Using social media becomes a risk in in every people. Most risks fall into the peer-to-peer, inappropriate content and lack of understanding of online privacy issues. The first problem in using the media negatively is a cyberbullying and online harassment, cyberbullying is deliberately using digital media to communicate false, embarrassing or hostile information about another person. It is the most common online risk for all teens is a peer-to-peer risk.

On the other hand, cyberbullying is quite common, can occur to any young person online, and can cause profound psychosocial outcomes including depression, anxiety, severe isolation, and, tragically, suicide. Second, is the sexting it can be defined as sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit messages, photographs, or images via cell phone, computer, or other digital devices. Many of these images become distributed rapidly via cell phones or the Internet. And lastly, is the facebook depression, it is defined as depression that develops when preteens and teens spend a great deal of time on social media sites, such as Facebook, and then begin to exhibit classic symptoms of depression. Acceptance by and contact with peers is an important element of adolescent life. As with offline depression, individuals who’s suffer from Facebook depression are at risk for social isolation and sometimes turn to risky Internet sites and blogs for “help” that may promote substance abuse, unsafe sexual practices, or aggressive or self-destructive behaviors.

People nowadays are tend to use internet to be able access in different sites.We choose to use internet rather than books, magazines, newspapers etc. because it is convenient. They use different devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptop etc. as instrument in seeking information.

Information is any entity or form that resolves uncertainty or provides the answer to a question of some kind. It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts.

It means, we seek for information on the things that weren't familiar. Even philosophers seeks information on the questions they didn't know. In our generation, with the use of internet, we access in different sites to seek for information around the world.

Search Engine or Web Search Engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the world wide web. The search results are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). The information may be a mix of web pages, images and other types of files. Some search engines are mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike web directories, which only maintained by human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler.

Internet content that is not capable of being searched by a web search engine is generally described as the Deep Web

Websites is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and publish on at least one web server. A website may be accessible via a public Internet Protocol (IP) network, such as the internet, or a private Local Area Network (LAN), by referencing a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that identifies the site.

Website can have many functions and can be used in various fashions; a website can be a personal website, a corporate website for a company, a government website, an organization website etc. Website are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, ranging from entertainment and social networking to providing news and education. All publicly accessible websites collectively constitute the world wide web, while private websites, such as company's website for its employees, are typically a part of an intranet.

Social Media site are computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other form of expression via virtual community and networks. The variety stand-alone and built-in social media services currently available introduces challenges of definition; however, there are some features:
1.) Social media are interactive Web 2.0 internet-based applications.
2.) User-generated content, such as texts posts or comments, digital photo or video, and data generated through all online interactions, is the lifeblood of social media.

3.) Users create service-specific profiles for the website or app that designed and maintained by the social media organizations.
4.) Social media facilitate the development of online social networks by connecting a user's profile with those of other individuals or groups.

Internet is very useful, it's up to us on how we gonna use it.
