I think Gen X has the most power in society as they are the older adults of today. Most of them have their values set, and they have the most power over the other generations as they are the parents of Gen Z and the Millennials and are taking care of their baby boomer parents.

Social media has changed the way power is distributed throughout society because people who lack wealth or power in person now have an outlet to share ideas and opinions.

I think social media has changed peoples perspective on the world. Social media has made a dramatic impact on the way people think and live because some people may be more persuasive on a certain topic they saw on social media and learn new things from the widespread of information they see.

I believe that the wealthy families in society still have the greatest power because money isn't just a piece of paper, it's the value of labor, people around the world are ready to risk their lives if it means getting a certain amount of money. For this reason, the wealthiest people will be on top and stay there for years to come. (Bob ;)

Successful movements create what Marilynn Brewer calls “optimal distinctiveness” — as Heimans and Timms put it, “making people feel like they are part of it and that they can stand out in it.”

We think that when it comes to power and influence in society, Gen Z and Millenials have more of a social and cultural impact due to their cultural awareness and technological capabilities. However, from an economic and political standpoint, Gen X and the Baby Boomers have the most control because they have more experience and more money. Their opinions are also valued more in places of power like major corporations and governments.

I think wealthy families have the most power in society because they are the most heard ; they could donate or contribute so much money just to get what they want for themselves and not consider what is more important for society than luxury

People who have the most power in society are celebrities, government officials and people have have a high status in society. When someone has more influence and control over people, they will have more power.

I think that in American society the people have the most power since we live in a democracy. But, if we think about other countries the government or corporations may have the most power because in places China, the people do not have much liberty.

Social media influencers do not deserve their following, as their impact on society is minimal and they do not touch base on important  issues in today's society.

The individual Tik Tok stars does not have as much influence in the sense that no one particularly take their views as seriously. They ultimately are just doing what's popular and does it as a hobby. However, they hold limited influence in terms of brand sponsorship and determining what is popular on their platforms based on what they are doing. They may have influence over looks and trends, but their impact is still limited.

# data[].attributes.body
I dont think that the tik tok stars desreve the fame they have. Although I have lots of respect for other social media influencers, since they worked hard to create content and get where they are such as youtube videos and creative content. Charli and adidson got famous off their looks and the same dance everyone else does and they get millions of likes, for the same dance that everyone else does. Most stars dont advocate for issues unitl the issues are relevent and what everyone else is talking about.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that stars like Charlie originally worked hard to gain their success, but once most stars on tiktok became famous, they started to put less effort and work in with the exception of a few videos. Some stars on the other hand continue to work hard and they deserve the attention.

# data[].attributes.body
TikTok stars such as Charli D'amelio and Addison Rae don't have much power beyond the extent of their communities because they might be able to influence how a young girl might dance, act, or dress, but in the end, they don't have the power to impact policy, political and/or social affairs.

The people have the most power in society as if there enough strength in their numbers they can influence change. However, in some types of government, the government has the most power and control what the people do.

I think both are nice and sweet young people because if it wasn't for Gen Z, they wouldn't have got noticed by millions of teens, people, even celebrities. I think every teenager would have wanted to be in their position and get many opportunities and society shouldn't shame them for reaching goals that any one of us would have wanted also

Social media has definitely changed the landscape for power because it gives people the opportunity to build a following and stand for a cause they believe in. It allows people who could've never had power before social media have the opportunity to have their voice heard.

I believe that these TikTok stars have not done anything vastly unique to make them influential in their fields. These TikTok stars were doing what everyone else was doing on this app: dancing, singing, etc. It is likely that these stars because famous merely due to luck, due to the fact that they were not doing anything vastly different from anyone else on the app. I do believe that there are some negative consequences that can result from the 2 stars' fame, as it is very likely that younger kids, especially girls, can become insecure about what they are seeing so constantly on social media, from those women with a large following. Young girls in this day in age can very easily become insecure or self-conscious from what they see on social media, as studies, show, so these 2 TikTok stars are a prime example of this issue. Although, these 2 stars can also inspire many people to do what they do: dance, and create any kind of content on social media to inspire themselves and others.

As young teenage girls, I do not think they deserve the amount of hate that they get on a daily basis. Their platform grew due to the popularity of their videos but that still doesn't give people the right to make death threats, mean comments and more to innocent girls on Tik Tok. Yes, they don't make much an impact on the world but they are still like everyone else even with a large following.

The generation with the most influence are millennials. They are just starting to see themselves and becoming full adults with compete families, 20-30 yrs old. They finished college and are now making thier own businesses and successes. I also think they are very influential because they are both young enough to be interactive with gen z and know what they want but they understand the baby boomers and are respected by them unlike the younger generations.

I think that Tiktok stars don't have much of any impact on society.  They are posting videos for entertainment purposes and didn't work hard to gain their popularity and success.

People with fame have great influence on their fans and audience, but their reason of fame tends to change their credibility. For example, over the past year, Chris Evans created a platform to inform people about politics from an unbiased viewpoint. However, many politicians didn't want to work with him because they either didn't believe it was truly him or because they thought that the wasn't educated in this field. Athletes commonly also experience this issue because people think they only know about the sport they play. Billionaires are also seen to have power because of their financial status. Many people believe what they say because they seem more educated. People believe that money comes from a good job which stems from a good education.

Famous athletes and actors have a greater influence on pop culture and social actions because their opinions are valued by those who follow them. Even so, billionaires like Elon Musk control the tech industry and the economy. as well as having influence over the government

# data[].attributes.body
I think that some famous people have lots of influence but they do get judged a lot by the public. But some people like Elon Musk have too much power on the market in my opinion. As the crypto market, for example, he is able to just post one photo of a dog (which he did) and make a cryptocurrency go up by 600% in 12 hours.

I feel that depending on the type of government, either the people, government, and/or corporations have the most power. In totalitarian and communist countries, the government has the most power as they control all corporations within their country. In capitalist countries, like the US, the corporations or those with tremendous wealth have the most power as the country is driven by wealth. In democratic countries, the people have the most influence, however, the government has the final say.

# data[].attributes.body
Athletes and actors have a lot of social power and can influence others. For billionaires, like Elon Musk, they have less of an influence socially, but have more economic power "behind the scenes." They have a different type of power than athletes and actors as they can invest and create their own things instead of focusing on influencing others.

# data[].attributes.body
Tiktok stars do not really deserve their influence, but also do not deserve the criticism on their popularity from people because the people gave them their platform. Tiktok stars mostly influence Gen Z. But since they have influence, they should use it to create change and promote things that would benefit society. However, as of currently, most of them promote negative messages.

Social media has influenced our landscape both negatively and positively. It has a huge impact on anybody who uses social media, especially with influencers with larger platforms that use social media to promote ideas, brands, or to just simply post images. Social media can be positive as it can promote movements, fundraisers, or spread awareness. However, social media can also spread false information, spread hatred or negatively impact young minds with posts that aren't realistic. All in all, social media has its benefits but can also be toxic

The people or government/corporations have the most power in society based on the type of government system the country is run by. For example, in a country that is run through a democracy, the people would have more power in society because rules are made through the majority of votes. However, if a country is run by totalitarian or communist ideals, then the government has absolute authority no matter what the people say.

Social media has allowed for people to have a voice for many people to hear, and have an influence on thousands of strangers that they do not know. This is a very revolutionary concept that was not prevalent before social media.

I think the social media influencers make a really big impact because a lot of young adults and teenagers have a wise and more expanded mind that think and consider multiple factors in a serious situation. Like for example, olivia rodrigo meeting with Joe Biden. This made a really big impact for the younger generation and it supported the other political sides views and their favorite celebrity supports the same views they do really impacts how young social media stars can make their voices heard

I believe social media celebs have the most influence because they can easily gain support for many things that they do from the youth. Like wealthy people won't have much influence because they aren't as likely to be viewed online as a tiktoker would. But some celebrities that aren't social media influences such as Elon Musk manage to put their influence out on the people, market, and opinions.

Social media changed the landscape in the sense that people have the freedom to express their opinions to the public through various platforms without necessary needing the same time, money, and ambition. People are able to push for movements, gain public pressure, and spread information. However, social media does not change the fact that wealthy people still have more resources to make impact. Some have a higher advantage based on past exposure, advertisement, and having the demographics or ideas that platforms tend to promote more.

Social media has greatly changed everything from the way we communicate to who has a voice and who is heard. Without social media around the only people heard were the ones who could stand up on a big stage or get in a newspaper. Now with social media we can say anything and anyone can see it, this applies to most online things.

I think that in the present society, there is a major power advantage held by the baby boomers. Although generation X did have the most influence in our society in the early 2000’s, it is currently the Baby Boomers as the most powerful. This is because Baby Boomers account for the most political and economical power in our current society, though this might change soon, due to most of them either being retired or soon to be retired. Though this is true that they are soon to be retired, their wealth is tremendously large. In fact, Baby Boomers hold over half of all U.S. household wealth and their economic influence is nearly half of that in the entire USA. Politically, Boomers have the most power as wells. For instance, political spending on electoral campaigns primarily comes from Boomers. Furthermore, when it comes to money spent on lobbying, organizations led by Baby Boomers are in the lead for the most spent.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the generation with the most power as it stand now would be Generation X. While Gen Z and the millennials may have social media, many of them are not in a position of direct power, such as a legislature or the board of a company. Many of the people in these positions are older people like those in Gen X, so while Gen Z might have to social platform to make change, the people in Gen X are the people who decide if they want to make said change.

# data[].attributes.body
Millennials because they are the only generation at the moment who are prominent on social media and the internet, have influence and wealth, and have full freedom financially. Gen Z are able to do these things, but they don't have true wealth and don't have the certain freedoms that adults would have like voting or drinking, etc. Baby boomers are too old now to have a true influence and don't know enough about the internet while Gen X are financially free but they don't have the full knowledge about the internet like Millennials and Gen Z would have.

Wealthy people have the most power in society because even though American citizens are able to vote, the candidate they vote for mainly have the influence they have because they can afford to campaign. They use their money to promote political ideas. Also, wealthy people have an advantage when it comes to education and businesses, which allows people from rich families to get a head-start in society.

# data[].attributes.body
The creation of social media allows for power to be created for anyone. With social media, one can build a platform and gain influence, these people become influencers and their voice carries a lot of meaning. Their opinions on things can spread faster and farther than even some legal workers. Social media allows for virtually anyone to achieve this power and this allows for power to be more accessible for the common people and not just reserved to government and rich people.
