Mass Media and its Influence on Society - 1 views

  • rtain movements have been sparked as a result of the mass media, in cases regarding major news most of the time. For example, the O.J.Simpson case and its verdict, The Rodney King trial and its verdict (causing a major riot), the Rowe vs. Wade case, and the case regarding Kalee Anthony. Media transmission from television has been known to create grow
  • Mass media is a very useful addition to human existence on earth. It helps people with many things in life, creating more time and convenience in the day. It almost has a life of its own amongst society as they interact with it continually and necessarily. Mass media has come a long way over the last hundred years; all the way from the carted horse and town center speech to the World Wide Web and cable television. It affects everyone one way today, maybe another way the next. It is sure to be around for a long time; it is very well integrated to society globally and entrenched in societies work, entertainment, finance, and education. It can affect people in good and bad ways, sometimes depending on the views the parties involved, but still effected nonetheless. It is up to one to figure out for themselves what they will do with the information from the mass media sources; and be aware of the influences on them and people around them, keeping in mind the effects mass media has, short and long term; always examining and evaluating to assess credibility, accuracy, and influence.

    This is a great article on how mass media has influenced our society and the ways in which technology has contributed to that. I enjoyed the pictures and how it relates to our ever evolving culture.

He claims the media coordinate and correlate information that is valuable to the culture. The media are powerful agents of socialization. Through the media, culture is communicated to the masses. Serving society through social control, the media act as stress relievers which keep social conflicts to a minimum.

  • A 2001 UCLA report, for instance, found high levels of consumer concern over online privacy in general and credit card security in particular.
  • In a Euro RSCG global survey conducted among 7,213 adults in 19 countries, we found that 55% of respondents are worried that “technology is robbing us of our privacy”; the figure was above 60% in a number of countries, including the United States and China. Similarly, 61% overall agreed “People share too much about their personal thoughts and experiences online; we need to go back to being more private.”

  • "Facebook especially, and Microsoft, is scared to death about privacy issues," he says. "A bunch of researchers have access to everybody's posts and Facebook is built on what's yours is private. They are struggling with the problem the same way as the scientific community."
  • Attorney and privacy expert Parry Aftab, of New York City — a member of Facebook's Safety Advisory Board — suggests that users shouldn't worry because the very large companies such as Twitter, Google, Microsoft and Facebook have privacy policies for users."The sites will never provide personally identifiable information unless they have the consent of the users. And there is legal recourse if they're using it in any other way," she says.

  • In December of 2009 Facebook made one of the most controversial changes to their privacy policy. No longer could you have a nearly invisible account allowing only those you wanted in by default. A user's profile was now publicly searchable with most of the information opened up for all to see by default. Facebook users were not pleased. Now, this isn't to say that Facebook pages couldn't be public before (they could), it was more about the loss of the choice. And that was the truly scary part.

Privacy and Security Issues in Social Networking - 1 views

  • Graham Cluley, Chief Technology Officer at UK tech security firm Sophos says.
  • . Privacy issues, those involving the unwarranted access of private information, don't necessarily have to involve security breaches. Someone can gain access to confidential information by simply watching you type your password. But both types of breaches are often intertwined on social networks, especially since anyone who breaches a site's security network opens the door to easy access to private information belonging to any user.

  • The reason social network security and privacy lapses exist results simply from the astronomical amounts of information the sites process each and every day that end up making it that much easier to exploit a single flaw in the system.

      Currency: This article is not too old or out-dated that it can be used as an useful source. It is 2014, so some researcher might bash it but I do feel the information is reliable and gives numerical statistic on what users were affected by Privacy dilemmas on Facebook.
  • Holly Ellyatt
  • "Although the Facebook quitters of the present sample represented only a very small amount of all Facebook users, many of them seemed to be concerned about privacy to such an extent that it outweighed perceived advantages of Facebook and eventually led them to quit their virtual Facebook identity," Stieger and his co-authors said in an article entitled "Who Commits Virtual Identity Suicide?"published on Wednesday.
    • Sherrise Linton

    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Accuracy: The information is coming from this author and it throws numerical information and that was found by an Austrian psychologist at a University which makes the argument a lot stronger because he specializes int he thought process and emotion of those 300 Fcebook users that felt as though they had to quit Facebook due to it harming their social identity.

      Authority: The url that took me to more information about this author has that she is a producer of CNBC which is a good quality and she can hold a view on Privacy issues on television but I am skeptical of saying is she is credible to believe on Facebook users.
  • Among those saying they were quitting Facebook, almost half were leaving because of privacy concerns.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Purpose: The main argument here is the privacy issue on Facebook is what is forcing users to leave not what Facebook content provides. Its the lack of safety of one's profile, number, age, and location that Facebook has out there to the web. Then when it comes to cleaning up your page to get  job it never goes away.
  •  
    This Article focuses on Facebook users and quitters due to the fact of feeling as though it is "virtual identity suicide". This article goes on to prove the that fact that Facebook and other socail medias can be a danger to your future career goals. Users are left with a lot of vent-like post that are taken out of content and held against them in the end.

    This is current enough and very relevant. It would be nice to look at this idea over a couple of years and see if people are still fearful!
