Critical investigation
Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.
The main subject of our link production was facebook stalking among teengagers within London. Our Link Production focused on vox pops from parents, teachers and students. we wanted to find out whether children whom use facebook find stalking and peadophilia a problem. we concluded that they were scared of getting added by people who they don't have mutual or common friends with.
we also asked teachers what they thought about this issue they exclaimed that facebook is not private and random people can add u so the security is not as high as it could be.
teenagers are encouraged not to add and accept random adds however 1 in 40 people still do it.
we did vox pops so we could get a clear grasp of facebook stalking, this was our primary source this was a useful source.
we found that teengares did not see any harm in accepting and adding random people however victims of stalking and peadophilia within facebook have advised people to be careful.
anything that is on facebook is not only seen by your friends it can also be seen be different people whom you might not now.
a teacher mentioned that they are worried and scared that someone that they know will be a victim of this therefore there advice to teenagers is clear: not to add people or accept people whom you don't know and to make your facebook profile private so that only your friends can see it.
statistics have proved that 26million people use facebook in the UK and the numbers are increasing drastically.
facebook is used by employers, businesses and many other well respected companies this shows that teenagers are not the only people whom are addictede to facebook.
facebook should be a device for people to catch up with old friends and family which they don't see often however it isbeing used as a place to meeet new people.
yeah i am sure this is good enough. what will be your next steps. will you do more research or go on to do something else. is there any comparison you can make. e.g to other films.
ReplyDeleteGood notes, now you need to include the secondary and primary sources you will be using. Also include the bibliography.
ReplyDeletegood understanding of teenagers and social networking maybe more use of primary and secondary sources such as newspapers articles and movies
ReplyDeletegood use of statistics
:)
well linked to your LP. maybe some more detailed research? good work
ReplyDeleteALl the comments above identify the strengths and weaknesses. You clearly have some strong opinions and the link with the LP is clear, however, you show little evidence of research beyond that which you LP threw up. It is central to this work that you have clear texts which form the anchor of your research. In addition you will need secondary sources to qualify and moderate your primary sources. These are used as part of the argument you make.
ReplyDeleteMy question to you is, what is your angle on teenage representations with regard to social networking, do you believe the moral panic or are you against it? Are their media texts which appear to support this moral panic (TV drama, Film, Documentary) as well as newspaper and magazine and internet articles (2ndary source)?
You LP with Yancia is inventive and lively and uses some news conventions well (though not all). Well done!
