THE FOLLOWING CONTENTS OF THIS REPORT

 RESPONSIBLE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

1) The Golden Rule of treating others how you want to be

treated is a good practice.

2) Do not turn to social media as a way to harass, demean,

or bully someone else.

3) Pause before you post, think before you click.

4) Whether you're concerned with maintaining good

friendships or future job prospects, be responsible in what
you post and how it could affect your reputation.

Social Media
“I have ideas or feelings and I can share these to the
world through social media as a platform.”

“I have access to social media, so I have to have an

idea. I have to have a feeling or emotion that I can
share with the world.”

Social Media
 While is it true that we have real friends whom we can
rely on in the real world, there is that ubiquitous itch that we have
to post something, with the hope of ‘friends’ liking it, sharing it, or
commenting on it. A hundred likes and a few comments would
suffice; couple these with shares and threads and it would be
ecstatic, even if those who supposedly liked or commented on it
remain detached to how we actually feel.
Social media give us friends who will tell us who we
are based on how we project ourselves in that virtual environment.
The technology that is supposed to help us connect and
communicate with people by showing the ‘real us’ is the very
technology that prompts us to give others a false impression of
who we really are.
Is this the purpose of social media? Are we using this
powerful platform appropriately?

Tejada, K. 2017)
