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. It guides us the correct online behavior we should abide to prevent us getting into trouble. I would liken social media to be viruses that can spread rapidly in a very short time. 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.

This is my good friend Twitter. I really like my good friend Twitter. I also really like my other friends of the same social circle, Facebook and Instagram. But every friend, no matter how good, has a flaw. After commenting on Yi Ming’s and Evan’s post, I realised that good friends have flaws. But they are merely mediums or channels of communication. The information that we pass on to them, they just publish. That is their main job. Continue reading →

After reading through many of the peers’ blogs, it has definitely got me thinking a lot. Yi Ming asked a very thought-provoking question on his post which probed me. Is it ethical for companies to actually monitor their employees’ social media movement? You can read my argument to this question here. Continue reading →

This has arguably been the broadest topic so far and personally, it is the most challenging. The reason being is because there is a wealth of information regarding the ethical issues presented by social media within the workplace, and some decided to explore the issues raised in businesses like myself, while others focused on education.

This topic was interesting as it was intriguing to read about the many different ethical issues faced by social media usage. Vanessa and Yu Ting blogged about privacy issues as well and gave me more insights. Yu Ting’s post made me think twice about skipping the reading of the terms and conditions section, as privacy matters are mostly made in fine print. Continue reading →
