Topic 4, Page 3

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 →

I will be sharing about my learning points gained from some of the interesting posts that I have read. One of them that caught my attention was Patricia’s. Continue reading →

Daphne talked about a teacher Krista Hodges who complained about her students on twitter using the words “hate” and “ugly”. She was not fired and simply deleted all of her social media accounts.

Someecards This topic has given me insights to ethical issues of business and education with regards to the use of social media. Several classmates have my drawn attention to the what they think are the most significant ethical issues. Both Khai and Isaac shared pretty much the same idea about companies leveraging on incidences of others to gain publicity. My takeaways and learning points from their post is that companies need to practice good judgement as there are many grey areas. Continue reading →

Howdy there again! I have come across by Isaac‘s post which I believe built on further on what I have previously shared on social media ethics for businesses. I commented on his post to share my thoughts of the 2 examples he showed, which led to my agreement with Augie Ray’s criticism towards Ford’s use of brand imagery in response to the capture of the Boston bomber. Continue reading →

This discussion topic was rather eye-opening to me with many different posts from my peers from different perspective. Since I have shared my discussion on Business use, I would like to reflect about Educational use of social media issues. I personally feel that all of the information shared among each other is enriching but I would like to further emphasize on Sylvia’s and Ian’s post where they mentioned about Cyber-Bullying.

Social media has become a powerful tool for businesses to deliver a message to its’ consumers. “Amplification” is one of the elements that are being created through social media (Forbes 2014). However, some of the ethical issues that they face may bring detrimental effects on the brand (Insider 2012). I believe that one of the most significant issues would be the exploitation of others’ misfortune. Continue reading →
