#GNED1411 14.2 (3/3)
After learning about the impact that social media has on people through this course, I aim to be more vocal about my political opinions and thoughts on various issues on my social profiles.

#GNED1411 14.2 This course has made me realise the growing and MAJOR impact of social media on our generation and just how influential and effective it is.

#GNED1411 14.1 While the essence of social media a few years ago was all filters and edits, A few years from now, i believe social media will change people positively to be more authentic and to be themselves.

#GNED1411 13.3 I get on social media for a specific reason related to the class but then get sidelined by what my friends are up to .As a person who's constantly distracted by social media, I would have to admit that social media in a classroom is a potential distraction.

#GNED1411 13.2 Familiarising yourself with your classmates and connecting with them on social media them may enhance your learning, as it gives you the comfort of asking your friends any doubts you may have regarding the subject.

[Rachel Bijoy @rachel_sandra18]

#GNED1411 13.1 Yes, I have used social media for educational purposes on many occasions, especially while I was still in school.

[Stephanie Scales @stephaniedc_23]

I think social media is effective in reaching so many people and can gain the attention of millions. I have supported different causes by sharing content through my social media. I support any movement involving equality regarding sex, age, race, etc. 12.2 #GNED1411

[Rachel Bijoy @rachel_sandra18]

@SaviniSemaratne I remember when the movement first started, my instagram explore page was flooded with BLM posters and out-reachers.

[Rachel Bijoy @rachel_sandra18]

#GNED1411 12.2 Social media is very effective and successful at supporting activism and advocacy. It has driven me to start supporting small home businesses that use sustainable resources rather than publicising most generic stores we know off that trash the environment.

[Rachel Bijoy @rachel_sandra18]

#GNED1411 12.1 Social media played a huge role in spreading feminism. Female influencers on social media began educating their followers on feminism. The Bra toss challenge was launched on International Women’s Day to help raise awareness for women’s rights.

11.2 #GNED1411
I think social media will have a long positive impact on the economy because it allows brands to advertise and company’s to share valuable information, causing the economy to grow.

[AM3549 @AM35491]

Social media in the long-term impact will continue to shift the economy of how we decide what we need or want from the seller as the platform for collaborative consumption expands. #GNED1411 11.2

[Rachel Bijoy @rachel_sandra18]

#GNED1411 11.2 I see the long term impact of social media completely side lining or even replacing in- person stores for shopping and having people switch to online shopping and retail.

[Rachel Bijoy @rachel_sandra18]

#GNED1411 11.1 I have not contributed to the participatory economy myself but i know a bunch of my friends who have. The collaboration of Dior x Air Jordan is something that catches my eye and makes me want to take part in participatory economy.

[Rachel Bijoy @rachel_sandra18]

@Ixela_2023 To add to what you've mentioned, I also think that political candidates that connect with their followers on social media are bound to gain more popularity, hence making their ideas more enticing to the voters.
