ICT A FORCE FOR SOCIAL REFORM
THE SOCIAL POWER OF SOCIAL
MEDIA
THE SOCIAL POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA

 Social Media is a computer-mediated

technology that, through virtual communities
and networks, encourages the generation and
sharing of knowledge, ideas, career interests
and other forms of expression.
GENERAL VIEW OF SOCIAL MEDIA: GOOD
OR BAD?
There are a lot of negative aspects of kids
having so much freedom on
 the Internet in this day and age.
 Advertisers have endless opportunities to
manipulate and influence a lot of people.
 Privacy is not really an option for most
social media users.
 Plus, the Internet is now an environment
that allows people to easily and
anonymously hurt others.
 Cyber bullying has become a huge
problem in the last few years.
That being said, I don’t think social
media is totally bad.
 It’s actually that think being part of
the social media world is beneficial to
teenagers.
 It provides a space for youth to share
opinions, stories and thoughts.
 It allows us to connect with people all
over the world.
 It can be used for bad things, but it
can also be used for good.
THE THREE FACES OF SOCIAL MEDIA

1. The Good – used for communication where distance no longer matter.

2. The Bad – allowed people to hide behind screens and avatars and it has
taken over our lives rather than us being in control.
3. The Ugly – it has become a common cause to broken relationships, self-
centeredness and egocentricity. It is also for frauds and child abuse.
