Social Platform Blog Post

Social Platform Blog Post

Information sharing generally aims to engage its audience, but not all information is transparent and authentic. From clickbait to false narratives, information can be tainted with conflicts of interest, fallacies, and hidden agendas. No matter the intended messages, hidden or authentic, how people respond to such information can have a profound effect personally and professionally.

Imagine you are a social media specialist who works for a marketing firm. Your boss has tasked you with writing a blog post for the company’s website. The blog post needs to focus on how personal biases can affect people’s personal and professional use of information and how one’s use of social media platforms can impact human relationships.

Write a 1,050- to 1,225-word blog post. In the blog post, do the following:

Describe how you use social media to gain information.

Discuss how people may have misused information from a social media platform in the past and the impact it had/could have had on personal and professional relationships.

Discuss how you have positively used information from a social media platform in the past and the impact it had/could have had on your personal and professional relationships.

Check tips on how to do your Psychology Assignments. 

Discuss how acknowledging personal biases can affect the way you gather information from social media platforms.

Discuss how acknowledging biases can impact personal and professional relationships.

Summarize how social media platforms have positively and negatively impacted relationships in society as a whole.

Use a minimal amount of editorializing. For example, do not say “I think” or “I feel.” Instead, just state your belief.

Cite at least 2 sources to support your assignment. Include a combination of paraphrased information and direct quotes to support your claims.

Format the sources according to APA guidelines.
