Topic 4, Page 2

Honestly speaking, in regards to my previous post, I think I have written out of scope because I could not specify more and relate social bashing towards the educational ethic measure. Continue reading →

The ethical issues that were discussed by my peers covered a broad spectrum of the topic. As we diverged our thoughts in two different perspectives mainly education and business use of social media, it was clear this subject was a divulgence of the ethical aspect of the “medium” that we are exposed to every single day. As I took on a business perspective of the subject, I was intrigued by some of the insightful thoughts of my peers. Continue reading →

Initially, social media platforms were created with the idea of providing a place for one to voice their opinions and ideas on the web. However, in today’s world, these platforms are not just purely for one to share their opinions and ideas. Many start to abuse the uses like posting negative comments on the web which affects the reputation of an individual or even a company. Continue reading →

This topic by far has been the most challenging one due to the many areas that can be potentially discussed as well as the challenge of identifying what is ethically right or wrong. Continue reading →

Social media was initially created for us to connect and voice our thoughts but ever since its existence, our lives have been put out there for the world to see. It is not just about the fact that what you say online remains online for the world to see but also the harsh reality of having ZERO PRIVACY. Both Yu Ting and Yvonne brought up the fact that companies tend to ignore privacy when it comes to securing business. Continue reading →

This topic is relevant to us since we are becoming future marketers who are relying heavily on social media for marketing.

My fellow peers have showed several examples of how people get sacked because of inappropriate posts. Continue reading →

It seems like there are many ethical issues faced when using social media. Here’s something new I found: Yu Ting stressed on the importance of privacy. Remember the Terms & Conditions (T&Cs) we have to agree on before we download an application (i.e. Instagram)? She pointed out that Instagram’s T&Cs states that they can use our pictures without permission. Continue reading →

I don’t believe that social media is either good or bad, it is the ways that people use it that decides the image of social media. Think of it this way, water is the life blood of all living creatures but yet it can cause flash floods. I’ve learned a lot about ethical or unethical ways people have used social media for.

Ethics is a very wide topic and after reading many blogs, they reveal to me the different types of ethical issues raised by educational and business use on social media. After much exposure, I reflected a lot. We all say that no one is perfect; it is irony that we still “hate” people for being “wrong”, people who go against our principles or values.

This topic has been an eye-opener to me. I was given a chance to do on the ethical issues of either a business or an educational use of social media. For this reflection, I’d like to reflect on both, with reference to my classmates’ blogs who did on the ethical issues on educational use of social media. Source: vrevzine.wordpress.
