@WanxinTang Beyonce is great example of an outstanding leader. As an inspiring singer alone, she gives back much to her fans and those who support her. While she speaks out on prominent issues, she been a role model to all with her generous nature as she constantly gives back #LIDCF20_01

@Gracethagoddess Leo DiCaprio is one of my fav actors, and is a great leader. I have noticed how his posts are primarily geared towards climate protection, which I find inspiring. I love how he uses his voice to create more awareness amongst others. #LIDCF20_01

#LIDCF20_01 Ashton Kutcher is an popular actor who uses his voice to establish awareness on prominent issues, such as child abuse. As the cofounder of Thorn, he aids in creating new technologies to protect the children and urges the public to take action https://t.co/07iUiZShvp

#selfsocietyclass With phone usage reaching an all time high for college students, it's hard to live without them. Although with social media, it seems like it's also hard to live with them. Describe ways social media has increased negative mental health or improved mental health

@skye17137315 #selfsocietyclass I would give online classes a 3. Do I like going to class in my bed? Yes. Do I miss actually getting up and going to class? Of course yes. While everything may be a little easier, I miss social interaction with the class and the feeling of a classroom

@JosephC24786253 #selfsocietyclass Our world is so different now, where it seems like if you don't have social media, you're a nobody. Since it's so popular and keeps people updated, everyone has it. Our lives are more focused on screens rather than social interaction, we've become very robotic

@rojas_an19 I believe the internet has accustomed much more kid-friendly current event news that allows people to keep up with what is going on. With apps like snapchat, teens are able to consistently talk all the time and hear more PG accounts of current events. #selfsocietyclass

@YuknaLia I witnessed my friend develop an extremely unhealthy addiction to candy crush in the past. There were times when she told me she would stay up all night just to play. These games are very addictive and it is hard for people to know when to stop. #selfsocietyclass

@carisaclassacc I also spend so much time on TikTok that my screentime has shot up. Internet addiction is real and I like how apple tells you your screentime so you can know when to stop being on, because sometimes it is just so hard. #selfsocietyclass

@notdylanrusso Hi Dylan, I loved watching this documentary! It was very scary to see how much we are monitored and how much depression is linked to social media usage. I have definitely made changes after watching that to help myself stop using social media as much. #selfsocietyclass

-this she has lost over 1M followers in the past week. Due to doomscrolling, the endless procession of negative news online, Charli now uses her platforms to speak up about mental health awareness. #selfsocietyclass

[Claudine Laygo @LaygoClaudine]

#selfsocietyclass TikToker Charli D'Amelio has recently received a lot of backlash over her comments and manners in a recent YouTube video that her family uploaded. People saw her comment about followers as inappropriate, which has led many to unfollow and bully her. Because of -

Due to the anonymity of this platform, it was much easier for cyberbullying to take place and affect more girls. Since women "attract more abuse and dismissive trolling", https://t.co/8IOd5zUl5f created a big problem within young teenage girls (Gardiner, 2016). #selfsocietyclass

[Claudine Laygo @LaygoClaudine]

#selfsocietyclass Around the time of 2012, there was a popular website called https://t.co/8IOd5zUl5f where users are able to post profiles about themselves and have people ask them questions. A lot of the time, people used this platform for cyberbullying, a type of online-

harassment, that threaten's one's nature. Although times have changed, this place was once a platform of toxicity for many middle schoolers. #selfsocietyclass

[Claudine Laygo @LaygoClaudine]

@rojas_an19 Hi Andrea, this is a great example! It is sad to see that people still have something negative to say about someone's body who only wants to focus on professional manners of entertainment. I hope to see less harassment against her. #selfsocietyclass

[Claudine Laygo @LaygoClaudine]

@lizzy56517323 Hi lizzy, YikYak is very similar to https://t.co/8IOd5zUl5f which I used in my example. These platforms allowed people at such a young age to harass and cyberbully each other, due to the anonymity. While these apps still exist they are used less frequently today.

@IsaacSYoon1 Hi Isaac, I also saw these news of Emma getting more criticism for deleting her accounts. This just shows how powerful social media is and how it can influence people's decisions based upon your activity. People do not realize what they say can hurt others. #selfsocietyclass

#selfsocietyclass For example in the photo above, one of the users started the trend of the cake emoji, which influenced others to send the emoji as well. This was based on instant action with expected responses.

#selfsocietyclass A virtual world I used to participate in is Club Penguin. Here you can customize your avatar with a distinct username and interact with others all over the world.

[Claudine Laygo @LaygoClaudine]

#selfsocietyclass According to Sanchez (2009) virtual worlds have interaction that occurs in real time, which means users expect immediacy within who they communicate with. In Club Penguin, users can chat amongst each others, and they expect immediacy as well.
