LEARNING TASK 3
— Anecdote by Psalm Velasco
STEM 1101
Teenagers can now connect with others right away through social media and update their statuses to share details about their lives. Teens like myself regard these platforms as a crucial tool for building and maintaining relationships, being creative, and discovering more about the world. However, they must also deal with more unfavorable aspects of social media use, like drama and taking sides in disputes and protests. Having to say this, I tend to be a part of a group that is established to fight for justice, and to serve to what I believe is right and appropriate. In order to accomplish social media goals like thought leadership, audience engagement, and lead creation, content is essential. It enables you to solidify your status as a preferred resource for your followers, whether they are looking for amusement, knowledge, inspiration, or awareness. Currently, the "cancel culture" is at its peak, where people are excluded from social or professional circles whether it be in person, online, or on social media. However, I am not afraid to stand for what I am fighting for, for I believe that what I'm doing is necessary in order to be a responsible digital citizen who uses technology and online etiquette, including behaviors and responses to others within a digital community of which one is a member. This is because it prevents other people from becoming vulnerable to these problems.
As someone who possesses the knowledge and abilities to use digital technologies to interact with others, participate in society, and produce and consume digital material, I am getting involved in difficulties that I am aware that just one person cannot resolve.
I RESPECT, I EDUCATE, I PROTECT.
