Course Syllabus for "COMM002: Media and Society "

Even if something is released, is it still news? Clearly BBC thinks the answer is no. In February 2012, the company issued new regulations to all journalists, journalists, producers, so that they do not post news articles on Twitter until they are known in the BBC newsroom. [viii] Journalists are simply a group of people trying to use the power of social media. Facebook has a special place where companies compete for being "loved" and "known" from users. The government is also involved with Facebook and is concerned that information on this site will be used for domestic surveillance. Social media changed the essence of the political movement. The age of Facebook in 2013 was only 10 years, but the number of users exceeds 800 million people, and if Facebook is the country it will become the third largest country in the world. The department will explore how the Internet has evolved from defense research projects to global business and social change engines.

UGBA 192AC has given me another social perspective, the relevance of social media, and the power of people to stimulate change. I can say honestly that this course is different from other courses. The ever-changing syllabus makes the material fresh and interesting. My favorite speech year must be an explanation of Professor Harris's trip to Bogotá in Colombia, and he introduced his findings to creatively reform governance. The idea that you can make changes at the macro level is simply exciting.

Since I was a child social media is very interested in me. It led me to teach Facebook social science and online social networking courses at UCLA (see the syllabus here). I intuitively know that I should enter social media marketing if I want a job that I can make a living. I know that I can "brandize" myself and "sell myself" - as a sociologist, he understands how to market information to collective actions and digital audiences. However, once I lose my job I feel free. I return home by bicycle and I remember feeling excited and happy. I know that this is my sign from God and will ultimately pursue my passion (full time). And I am very lucky. From 2011 to 2016, I follow my passion and live at the age of 5-6.

The term "social" in social media is not used correctly. There is no society. This is a virtual world. (Internet media is going to be a perfect term, of course social media is certainly nice, of course this is the way this term makes money, I think!) It's just your real friendship and friends Is that some of the existence does not form a society. You can not touch them and you can not feel them. Everyone can play with others who have very different personalities. There is no way to know if a recent friend request came from a real person or from a computer program from one person. Therefore, it is not a society but a virtual network internet site, so you need to use it accordingly. It is not a place to express and discuss political opinions and other opinions. If you want to discuss, you can discuss in the real world.
