@ChansPreet69429 I remember that campaign and is a great example of how advocacy/activist groups use their social media. It was awesome to see the support for gender equality! #GNED1411 #12.1

Social media assists spread info to the public, spread awareness on specific topics. I have supported a cause through social media. The organization raises money for children with disabilities to have the opportunity to go to summer camp or participate in sport. #GNED1411 #12.2

The World Wildlife Fund uses social media for campaigns on snapchat and other platforms. They use hashtags like # lastselfie on photos before the endangered species go extinct. It is emotional and pulls on the heart strings of the public. #GNED1411 #12.1

@MattHelena0616 I agree people will use social media to promote their businesses and their personal image (personal trainers, etc.). They will relying on creating content for their income.

I think the long-term impact of social media on the economy would be that more people will rely on becoming an influencer on social media platforms as their source of income. #GNED1411 #11.2

I have contributed to participatory economy by assisting the public in registering for programs and other recreational activities. I was able to help boost the number of locals participating in activities. Registration was online & in person for the activities #GNED1411 #11.1

@DosunmuOlu45547 Social media allows candidates to engage with the public. It doesn't impact my voting decisions but a lot of people I know rely on social media for any election. #GNED1411 #10.3

I do not consider myself to be citizen 2.0. I am not connected to the government through social media. connecting with the government allows citizens to stay informed and provides an openness and transparency between the government and the public.

@DosunmuOlu45547 I agree with you. Social media is a great tool to use to spread awareness about emergencies and it seems to get a better response from the public. #GNED1411 #10.2

One of the effective uses of social media by the government is when they use it for the Amber Alert System. I feel like this spreads information quickly about the missing persons and increases the public awareness.

The use of social media by a political candidate does not impact my voting decision. I do not rely on social media to gather information to make a decision.

Social Media connects people with their friends, families, and updates from past friends. It is entertainment with edits, posts, and discussions about various topics, fandoms for TV shows and movies. It's a tool for sharing life events, like graduations or a new baby. #GNED1411
