@GabriellaR1103 To promote relationships and communication among varied audiences, it is becoming more and more crucial to figure out how to close these gaps and establish shared experiences as we continue to embrace new forms of media consumption.(1/3)#1D02X1D2Media180

In my opinion, although cable provides more content to suit a wider range of interests for some, it has also divided viewers, which may lessen the amount of shared experiences in communities. (1/2)#1D02X1D2Media180

@GabriellaR1103 Typical cable TV offered an atmosphere for people to view and converse about the same material, encouraging a sense of group participation.(1/2)#1D02X1D2Media180

@GabriellaR1103 Differences in content-consuming patterns, not everyone experiences media in today's fragmented landscape in the same way. A lack of common experiences may block effective conversations and relationships inside groups.(1/1)#1D02X1D2Media180

@NicQ1627 You make a really good point when you say that older populations continue to watch national television and depend on news programs for news updates. I know my mom and grandma watch the news from DR to stay in tune with our family over there. #1D02X1D2Media180

And this by opening up new channels for online communities centered around specialized interests, in which everyone watches in their own free time.(1/4)#1D02X1D2Media180

Also, the rise of online and on-demand streaming services has changed how people watch TV, both by upending the conventional idea of watching TV in groups.(1/3)#1D02X1D2Media180

The argument about how cable TV affects the community centers on how it differs from the shared watching experiences promoted by traditional network TV, such as ABC, CBS, and NBC.(1/1)#1D02X1D2Media180

@JazzerayXO While encouraging polite behavior on social media is a wonderful idea, it might not be enough to prevent the negative effects that it can have on free speech and democracy.(1/3) #1D02X1D2Media180

@JazzerayXO People often ignore different points of view and stay in their bubbles. Not to mention how simple it is to be nasty or hostile online. (1/2) #1D02X1D2Media180

[Genesis Martinez @Geneynm1]

@JazzerayXO Although I listen to what you have to say, I respectfully disagree. Social media may, of course, promote free expression and democratic debate, but let's face it most of the time, it simply serves to widen the division. (1/1) #1D02X1D2Media180

@DaBigBoyyy I think that to protect democratic institutions in the age of technology, it is critical to balance how we use social media's advantages and reduce its dangers.(1/3) #1D02X1D2Media180

@DaBigBoyyy To protect democratic values, it is important to recognize its benefits while actively reducing its drawbacks. Maintaining a solid political conversation requires balancing resolving its shortcomings and maximizing its benefits.(1/2) #1D02X1D2Media180

@DaBigBoyyy I believe that social media provides a range of viewpoints and improves civic engagement, but its unchecked authority can also threaten democracy. (1/1)#1D02X1D2Media180

It was stated in "Why the Web Won't Be Nirvana" By Clifford Stoll, that we [the public] depend on social media way too much that it weakens the social fabric that is essential for a democracy to work. Being how social media isolates us from in-person contact(1/3)#1D02X1D2Media180

[Genesis Martinez @Geneynm1]

Social media both fosters and harms the political system of democracy and the principle of freedom. It fosters it by spreading crucial information, informing the generation hooked on social media, and having a variety of voices to be heard all in one touch. (1/1)#1D02X1D2Media180

[Genesis Martinez @Geneynm1]

However, I believe it also harms the political system of democracy and the principle of freedom. Not only can we get misinformation, but it also manipulates us [the public] changing and misrepresenting our course and opinions. (1/2)#1D02X1D2Media180
