Social media has involved into an open diary for the world to see through someone’s post. Our world is verbally changing. These sites and applications have transformed communities into nonverbal texting societies. Social Media encourages us to interact with one another around the clock but it also causes us to be disconnected. This technology allows one to hide behind text, tweets, emoticons and status’ and allows the receiver to make up an emotional illusion that the sender perceives. This misinterpretation is one of the ways it effects relationships. If teens today have a problem with someone or an altercation they would rather talk it out in a text than talking on the phone or meeting up with that person. A study shows that texting and using other types of instant messaging such as Facebook or email can actually hurt rather than help relationships. On a survey that was recently done among 70 Snow College students, it was shown that 89% of those surveyed have had an argument with a significant other through text messaging or Facebook. Although texting is a handy tool, it lacks tone, emotion, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact. It is likely that the message can cause misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and even deception. The word ‘whatever’ is commonly misinterpreted because it has more than one meaning. In the survey, 42% said that they had a relationship with a boyfriend/girlfriend end, or be seriously affected by an argument they had through texting. Among the 42%, nearly all of those said that the argument, had it been held in person, could have been resolved. ( Drayton Ball ) Arguments can be solved much easier if you just meet up in person rather than text. Face-to-face confrontation allows one to see body language, eye contact, and emotion that way the message is not misleading. Misinterpretation doesn’t just happen through text with an argument but also with regular conversions. Like say, a girl gives a guy her number that wants to text. If she never met him is no way she would know that this guy could like her. She would call it being nice, and he might think she’s flirting. Now that could cause an awkward situation if she decides to meet him, because he perceived that he had a chance with her.
PROPOSAL & PONDER
I chose to write this paper because the personal paper I wanted to write didn’t have the research to support it. I want to write about if my birth control was driving me crazy, but I couldn’t find the proof. So I switch to negative impacts on teens through social media. During that research process a lot of articles came up but they were mostly blogs, people opinion. So I decided to write about how I know that social media ruins relationships and friend ships. Friendships are relationships just without the duty to have to visit them all the time. I had a lot to say about how teens uses social media but I guess nobody, in the help of structuring my paper, didn’t understand where I was coming from. Little did they know that’s was the point. They do petty things that are ridiculous on social media because it helped them hide behind their words. Or in finding out if there’s some gossip you go to the profiles lurking! In the root of it all social media creates a lot of gossip because people put their life on display. Making easy to lurk, picking up dirt on a person and finding “the scoop”. After all this madness on rather they find anything do you think that the person would go to their friend or partner to talk out their insecurities? No they send messages and messages are misleading. . Although texting is a handy tool, it lacks tone, emotion, facial expressions, body language, and eye contact. It is likely that the message can cause misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and even deception. In the root of explaining this point, because I know I’m a victim in participating in these events; I asked around and google to see what other people was calling it. I just couldn’t find the right words without sounding a little uneducated in a way. I felt like that because these activities usually end in an unnecessary ignorant outcome. I’m a very critical thinker. Ounce I say or write something I always see how I could write it better or what direction it’s going to take me. That’s why I bounce around so much when my mind starts to wonder. I could of wrote about some much inspirational an worth telling but with the short time I had I had to finish what I started. Making this paper difficult for me because it wasn’t personal to me I just want to get it done. I could of wrote about what I was going through these past week of the assignment but that would be a book, that was way too personal. With all the frustration I had with this paper, I don’t have any “take-aways”. Suggestions for future research topics: Do not wait till the last minute, Find something interesting before your supposed to start the assignment, Come to class every day; even if your confused and haven’t started , don’t be afraid to ask for help. This documentary brings together the thoughts and opinions of some of the world’s leaders in nutrition and natural healing. It argues that we live in a world of failing health care systems, where the focus is on symptoms of disease rather that the causes of disease. It’s a world where we are constantly being told that there is a ‘pill for every ill’. And along the way, somehow, the use of nutrition as a cure or preventative solution has gotten lost. The documentary asks what happen to the belief held by Hippocrates, father of medicine, that ‘Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine, And Thy Medicine Be Thy Food.’ The answer is that there is no money in wellness, only in ill health. As leading nutritional advocate Andrew Saul says ‘good health makes a lot of sense but not a lot of dollars’.
