Description

I have a discussion question to be answer in my social media in business class. The discussion needs to be 500-600 words in length. Here is the instruction;

Discussion
Impacts Social Media Can Have on Society

There has always been a debate on whether social media has had a more positive vs. negative impact on society. On one hand, social media platforms have been applauded for things such as providing a way for connecting and re-connecting with friends and family, accessing breaking news, getting opinions of others, exploring common topics of interest, etc. On the other hand, social media has been cited as being a major contributor in things that cause individual or collective harm such as spreading of disinformation, decline of mental health, fostering addictive behaviors, acts of bullying, etc.

Share with the class your thoughts about the impact of social media on our society and where it should head in the future.
A few thought starters: (these are just to get you thinking, you do not have to address all or any of them; just providing to help spark your thoughts.)
  • Do the benefits (positives) of social media outweigh the negative impacts that have been tied to social media? Why or why not?
  • Has social media really been a major player in causing or exacerbating some of the deep problems (disinformation, addictions, poor mental health) for society or is this just the media reporting a gloom-and-doom story?
  • What are your biggest fears or concerns (if any) regarding social media and the future of society? OR What excites you the most (if anything) about the impact of social media and the future of society?
  • What types of changes need to be put into place to decrease the negative impacts or maintain the positive impacts? (This could be anything such as how a social platform operates, putting more social platform regulations in place, etc.)
  • Who really bears the responsibility to correct or manage some of these negative issues (platform providers, individuals, government, businesses)?

Social Media & Business Weekly Guide – Week Nine Societal Impacts of Social Media This topic is by far one of my favorites because it allows us to take our earning revenue hats off and take a look into how all of these social media platforms impact us individually, our kids and families, our friends and our world as a whole. Businesses and industries have typically been put under a microscope for what they are doing, how their business is being conducted and really weighing the cost/benefit to the public. Right now, social media platforms are the big spot on everyone’s radar. ©2022 Karen D. Pate, Ph.D. 2 Societal Impacts of Social Media The reading and video materials cover a variety of societal impacts that have a strong tie to social media (whether the social platforms started the impact, or are a heavy contributor in the impact) such as: • Decline of mental health • Addictions • Disinformation and false news • Bullying and other abusive behaviors • Affect on kids (depression, self-esteem, isolation) • Use/misuse of consumer data (including consumer privacy) • Group behaviors (political and non-political) This guide is short, but these issues are large. Most of these issues will not be new to you since they are constantly covered in the media; however, I hope they provide some clarity on what is going on and help you form or expand your perspective. Enjoy the reading and the videos. ©2022 Karen D. Pate, Ph.D. 3
