Instagram is a visual medium platform that means that Instagram is photo based platform that focuses on the user posting a photo or video of their choice and then trying their best to promote it with hashtags and then the amount of likes and shares it can get from that users followers. Instagram is different sort of platform to others because it does mainly focuses on pictures and how things look and then only having a small section for a comment which is unlimited word count or at least very high word count but the main focus is on the picture or video above, compared to twitter which is mainly a word based platform that is challenge every time you post to have a good post you need to do it under the letter count set and Facebook again is about words but it does have pictures but the words take front and centre again so Instagram is a unique sort of social media platform to the ones out there that are as successful as it is.

Since Me Too the workplace has changed a lot these changes are; Guardians Network', this is 'an initiative in which members of staff are trained to offer confidential support to peers who are facing harassment issues, but are unsure of how to escalate them. Houselights is 'an initiative working with drama schools and youth theatres, feels the genuine, far-reaching change required will only truly be achieved through the passage of time. “We’re aiming to build a new generation of people who know that this is not okay. We’re not in a place where, if you don’t experience harassment, you don’t have to worry about it. We’re all part of it. Students proactively and pre-emptively have to know, because it is now an unignorably, integral part of training for professional development.' Netflix has apparently banned people from looking at each for longer than 5 seconds, as a part of their new anti-harassment rules. Accord to an article in the Sun, it also says that 'The new policy also bans the company’s film crews from asking their colleagues for their phone numbers'. The meeting where the polices changed, the senior officials went there and apparently looking at someone for longer than 5 seconds is creepy. 'Other new rules include: “Don’t give lingering hugs or touch anyone for a lengthy period of time,” “Don’t ask out a colleague more than once if they have said no,” “Steer clear of a colleague once they have said they are not interested in you,” and “Don’t flirt.” The rules also encourage employees to “Shout ‘Stop, don’t do that again!’ if a colleague has been inappropriate.' Netflix haven't actually confirmed or denied these new rules, but they did comment that they are proud of their anti-harassment training that they offer. Vicky Featherstone and Lucy Davies', who are 'the artistic director and executive producer of London’s Royal Court'. They set up an event for people this called 'No Grey Area', this is for people to tell stories of theirs, and additionally they made a code for people to follow in theatre of how to behave, the theatre sector seemed ready to take action and respond to Me Too. Social Media as I mentioned did fuel Me Too movemnet and if it wasn't for Social Media there would be no Me Too but I feel it didn't actually have a lot to do with the actual changes in policies in the workplace as I feel in my opinion these were made because of the actual things that happened to actual people and the horrible acts that happened to them. I feel social media did have a small impact not directly but just the constant chatter and Me Too activity pressured the organisations to chnage their laws. Actually social media has criticised Netflix's change in policy because it sounds so weird and crazy and a bit little too far over the edge and is now more controlling than preventing.

Without social media there is no Me Too, it started off the global outburst of the movement and use of the platforms as I mentioned has kept it relevant and kept it in the news cycle. Social Media has brought peoples attention to the Me Too and brought the rest of worlds attention to the mass amount of sexual abuse, rape and non-consensual sexual activities that happen in not only Hollywood but in the western world and people had to deal it by themselves but now they have communities to talk to and even if they don't want to go in detail because you can just say 'Me Too' and thats an acknowledgement that you have experienced something. Social media brought peoples attention to Me Too by the constant use of the hashtag, as you can't go anywhere without seeing a share of a Me Too post or seeing the hashtag, this meant that even though it started on platform it become cross-platform very quickly, no won Instagram there is the Me Too Movemnet account there two hashtags, on Facebook there is another official account and many groups, smaller communities just like Tarana Burke wanted where people can talk, share their stores and learn together how to carry on in life, because of the social media these are benefits, the vision of Me Too has been fulfilled in at least one way, there still is work to do but again social media can benefit Me Too it can continue to raise awareness for the movement and keep people talking and improve what it's doing with the generations of people who know about Me Too movement. I say this because Me Too is different to other movements that have come before it where adults know all about it and the teenagers have to catch up and feel like they aren't involved as Me Too started out on social media this is the world of the younger generations so they know so much about and can at anytime give it google and learn more as the hashtag is always active and there's always post about not only news but opinions, thoughts and stories. The older generations who just watch TV and just see the news as their main form on gaining information may not know that much about Me Too and this is benefit for Me Too as the teenagers now will grow up with this knowledge they have about Me Too and everything that they have learnt and what they can do, the difference they can by just speaking up and they can teach people younger than hem what to do and what not to do and its is different to other movements that die out when the adults stop caring but I feel Me To will never die out as the generations that know about it now will grow up and because its on social media it can never disappear or at least won't disappear or a long time.

Has social media helped the issues raised ?

# data[].attributes.body
Social Media has helped the issues raised and has supported them through the constant comments, posts and keeping the hashtag going, this has meant even just in the eyes of people that use social media Me Too stayed relevant but also it made people more aware of issues in their life on and offline and this has meant people have fought more and been more persistent with the celeb's that have been accused and made sure no ones claims have been forgotten. This constant chatter online and social media has meant every so often Me Too comes back into the mass media and people talk about it again on TV and in the papers and this is all from social media as if it didn't keep people talking and didn't keep the topics and issues that Me Too fight against relevant then people wouldn't see them spoken about on TV which gets the movement more coverage and other generations learn more and remember about the very important movement. I feel with the power in Hollywood Harvey Weinstein actually thought he would never go on trial as his appearances straight after October 5th 2017, he seemed a defiant figure, who didn't really care but because people online kept coming at him and keep tweeting other figures in the media and news outlets this kept the confidence up from other survivors to keep coming out the woodwork against Weinstein which built the case against him that he is now facing, and this is all because of social media. The support social media has given Me too has meant there has been a branching off for other organisations or events to get traction and get support as well an example of this is the Time's Up Campaign, it is a branch of the Me Too movement it was founded by Hollywood celebrities on January 1st in response to the Weinstein effect and the Me Too movement. As of December 2018, it has raised more than $22 million for its legal defence fund. It was founded to end the sexual abuse and the culture around it in Hollywood 'This organization, has raised millions for legal funds and amassed volunteer lawyers, as well as donating to women’s organizations and sharing support lines and advice for shooting sex scenes. Time’s Up has also been about visibility as well as action, with actors promoting the campaign at awards ceremonies, for example, by bringing activists as their red carpet dates to the Golden Globes.'(The Editors at Times Up, 2018)  The organisation has helped and somewhat pushed others to make their own changes as it helped 'the Producers’ Guild of America drew up and issued anti-sexual harassment guidelines',(The Editors at Times Up, 2018) this is already illegal but as the world has seen from what has happened over the last 30 years the law won't just stop it, people have to understand and be aware and have these guidelines in place to be pro-active and help others practically or verbally if the time ever does come. 'The guidelines include training for all cast and crew and designating people that workers can approach to report any incidents.',(The Editors at Times Up, 2018)

In my opinion there has been a change in the world of social media and I think the change has been mostly positive as, I have mentioned people have grown in confidence and now will call out anyone they want and aren't afraid to challenge anyone or blame anyone for even having a suspicion of doing anything wrong. This is a good thing if people do it within good reason but I feel the line has been crossed a few times just from the pressure that social media can bring upon people. As I have mentioned before I am all in favour for the community feeling that the Me Too Movement has created but I feel sometimes this can become like '“mob mentality” in pursuit of prominent men accused of sexual assault or varying misconduct', not even prominent men just men in general and this change isn't a good thing as people could go to jail for things they never did just because a women has accused a man it doesn't mean they are right. An example of this almost happening is when 'A student who was wrongly charged with rape has said men falsely accused of a sexual offence are also victims as he welcomed the move to force complainants to hand over their phones for disclosure purposes in such cases. Liam Allan , then 22, went on trial in December 2017 facing 12 counts of rape and sexual assault. He had spent two years on bail and endured three days of trial before the case collapsed as it emerged his supposed victim had been pestering him for "casual sex".' (Davis, 2019) Allen had already spent two years on bail, if he had lost his case 12 counts of sexual assault and rape then his sentence could have anything from if he was really lucky maybe two years to life in prison all from a wrong accusation and the change of social media was the cause of this as people feel fearless this is good, up to a point as something like this actually happens you've ruined someone's life, furthermore, people have used Me Too movement to abuse twitter as a platform and this 'Mob Mentality' has taken off as people will just get on the back of anyone who has been accused and harasser them via social media to get them confess or just to feel something this shows how there has been a change in more of the people using social media not the platforms itself. The change in social media isn't all bad as people have kept creating more hashtags to try to evolve the conversation of sexual abuse one of them is #NotOkay, this is a hashtag that is on Twitter and is a branch from the original Me Too hashtag. This show's that social media has changed as things are just a one hit wonder and lost in the void of social media, this is another place that shows the change this link is to a tweet showing the backwards thinking of the people in power in the USA and shows the change in attitudes of social media users as they now they can speak out and if they get the attention of others what can the people in power, what can Trump really do to thousands of people criticising him. Another change that shows that the change in social media has positive elements is the Instagram trend that is 'Posting More “Authentic” Content on Instagram'. (Chacon, 2019) This trend shows how people can be confident and open in a good way and feel able to share themselves at their most vulnerable and the change in the attitudes of the people posting these is good as they are now posting pictures like this and the change in the attitudes from the users seeing them as people want to support this and champion people who post this.

If you consider the Tipping point theory. It challenged people to think of trends and memes as infectious diseases that start with Patient Zero and literally go viral, infecting each new person with ideas or beliefs.
That could be what the #MeToo movement is and it is the best example yet of how social media can turn simple ideas and concepts into infectious ideas that are impossible to get out of your head. The world has changed forever as the result of a single tweet, highlighting the power of social media.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an example of the power that social media has given people the power to not only just speak up but to advise others on what to do and how to cope with some of the worst things to happen to a human being. It shows that the growth of social media is a massive positive as the more people on it the more people that have supported the cause and in turn made more people feel confident and able to speak out and help others and help themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media has supported the Me Too movement in many ways, the main way has been the hashtags and account as the official Instagram account has 36 thousand followers and the official #metoo has 2.3 million posts, it is now 2020 and people are still posting the most recent one is was as I am writing this 6 seconds ago, the relentless support has continued and clearly there's no stopping it. The Me Too movement may not be in the news every single day and there may not be any new stories or accusations coming out and Harvey Weinstein may not face any punishment for his crimes but social media will always support the movement, not just what has done but just what stands for it was originally created to 'help survivors of sexual violence, particularly Black women and girls, and other young women of colour from low wealth communities, find pathways to healing' (Burke, 2006) now those communities aren't just small towns or cities they are on a world stage and the movement can and I hope will eventually reach everyone and every where so all the people can feel a part of it and the support from social media is key to doing this. Also the news that people like Tarana Burke share and keep telling people, her appearances on the news keep the general public interested in the campaign. Another way social media is supporting the Me Too movement is the confidence and the extra drive it gives the movement as up until 3 years ago no one would even to think to call out a celebrity let alone a president, your own president but the constant tweets, post and accusations about Mr Trump mean people like this woman who is just a senator has the now confidence to call out this man, social media is the driving force behind everyone's new found confidence.

What opinions have been raised via social media ?

# data[].attributes.body
Many opinions have been raised via social media to do with the Me Too movement, you'd think without research that all the opinions that have been raised are in agreement with the global movement but there have some that may have contradicted others, some who haven't been swayed yet, people denying the accusations and some others flat out disagreeing with the movement which shows the varying degree of people and users on social media and how they choose to use it. Of course mainly there have been floods and floods of opinions that agree with the movement, these opinions not only from random people around the world, very famous celebrities have supported the movement of course Alyssa Milano but also Lady Gaga, Reece Wetherspoon, Jennifer Lawrence, Barry Crimmins, Rosario Dawson, Terry Crews and many more. The amount of celebrities and general public that agree with the movement is outstanding. There has been figures who may have support the movement but ended up looking a but clueless which in turn affected their own case, I am talking about Rose McGowan as 'she said she supported Asia Argento, who was also a survivor, but she was soon proved wrong as a photography surfaced online that was a topless Argento with Jimmy Bennett, she then admitted she had an sexual encounter with him'. This support and this opinion raised on social media really back fired for McGowan as this meant people started to question her story about Harvey Weinstein and this made her seem less believable and doubt crept in to the opinions of the general public. This shows that raising your opinion on social media isn't always a good idea and doesn't always mean that it will end well for you and it meant she had to issue an official apology to make up for her error of judgement. There is another side to the opinions raised on social media as people like Kevin Spacey have most definitely come out and not been happy with the movement, as it has meant he has been accused of many things himself he has released a controversial YouTube video and a quote from that is 'I haven't paid for the things I have done, and I certainly won't pay for the things I haven't done'. (Kevin Spacey, 2018) I feel this opinion that was raised really split people's opinion on Keven Spacey, my personal opinion is that he did the things he is accused of but he knows and understand he won't go down for anything, as he knows he is a very powerful man who has friends in powerful places. The opinions about himself that he raised were very weird as if you read between the lines, he kind of admits he's done stuff and he hasn't paid for them, this could mean the allegations or not or the second part of the phrase could mean he hasn't done the allegations. Furthermore a quite famous writers and influential feminist Germaine Greer has pretty much disagreed with most of Me Too which to her fans and the general public was quite a shock as she has been a supporter of women's rights and wrote countless books on women's rights and supported it throughout her years. When it comes to Me Too she has used social media to talk about how she doesn't agree with it. Greer has been interviewed many times by not only media but by her once fans and 'Greer said that “if you spread your legs because he said ‘be nice to me and I’ll give you a job in a movie’ then I’m afraid that’s tantamount to consent, and it’s too late now to start whingeing about that”.' (Flood, 2019) In my personal opinion this is disgusting that she can claim she supports women's rights and comes out with statements like this. For my research on Greer I watched these two videos they are both from the same talk from Greer as she has to sit and face the facts from her once fans, even then after these opinions being thrown at her she still sticks to her won opinions that she has raised and doesn't sway at all even when people call her out. Anyone can have any opinion on Me Too and raise it using whatever social media they like. Many people have seen these Me Too posts and many comments have been made about them and people have flooded to have their own opinion on it as you can see from this scree recording that from Milano's original Tweet that thousands if not millions of people commented on her post, quite a lot of them saying the most well known phrase 'Me Too' but not everyone others who hadn't had anything happen to them were congratulating not only Milano, the other celebrities but everyone who has come out and said even just those two words as it takes massive confidence to do this. I feel the actual comments that you get on social media about Me Too depend on the platform that you are looking on, as because Twitter started off the Me Too that comment especially if you look at comments from that original post that I have one, if you compare this to the next screen recording of one of the latest tweets about Me Too the comments are still positive but they are more in depth are not just looking at the fact of being a survivor but how to deal with peoples opinion of you being a survivor and the struggle of being a survivor but still trying to be happy, it shows two things in the last 2 years that has changed in the opinions of the people that is reflected in the comments, one that the confidence of people hasn't changed if something people have become more confident because of point two people are now looking deeper into #MeToo and seeing what has happened since then and the effect of not only just movement on the accused but the survivors as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Social Media has been affected massively by the rise of the Me Too Movement. I feel the effect has actually been a positive one as I have mentioned the prior positives and negatives to the platforms but Me Too brought out not only the best in the platforms but the people using them as well. I think the platforms that have been massive parts of the Me Too movement are Twitter and Instagram they have been positively affected by this as the people using the platforms have become more positive and there is more of a collective feeling on the platforms or at least when part of the hashtag or a follower of the official Me Too account and this has taught everyone to be better people and brought everyone together. Not only from your town, city or country, people from all over the world have been brought together through the pain and suffering, everyone from different walks of life to fight the cause. Another affect it had was it made people more aware of what was not just on there feed but beyond it as everyone's feed on any social media is always unique to them so sometimes they forget people aren't seeing the exact same things as they are but having this movement brought people together to focus on one aim but made them look at the bigger picture as well to see that everyone sees the world different and their social media reflects this, but nevertheless they can still band together for this movement. As people feel connected and together this has made the general person more aware and more confident to call out abuse and bullying and keep the news aware of the movement so this meant that still now more celebs who may of thought they could get away with their crimes are getting called out now for example Dan Schneider got called fired from Nickelodeon in March 2019 and that ran on the news online till at November of that year as there has been suspicious activities between himself, others of staffs and the child stars of his very famous shows sometimes these activities were apparently abusive from Schneider to staff members and over the years there has been 'multiple complaints of abusive behavior against Schneider filed by members of his staff… for years Schneider had been under a cloud of suspicion over the treatment of some younger stars of his shows. Among the things that have raised eyebrows are his tweeted photos of the toes of his young female stars.' (Silver, 2019) This shows that Me Too had a clear affect on social media to be able to call out more people in the public eye and it's meant that ordinary people just feel more open to talk about these once taboo topics and feel they have a community that will to listen to them and help them.

How does Instagram exist in todays society? 

# data[].attributes.body
Instagram is a way of insight into people's lives if they want you to see as if you think cynically the people on Instagram only post what they want you to see as they can control everything about their profiles, from the bio, pictures and stories so the followers can think they see everything from the person they follow but really they only see a snippet and people's obsession with the celebs and influencers and trying to see everything to do with them is crazy now and has gone to far that people follow and look at every little post and every fan account so they don't miss any news about that person. It has impacted society in a way that means people have become obsessed and addicted in getting followers and getting amount of likes in a certain amount of time after posting. My friend Jack, at the time of writing this has 1,173 followers but actively tries to get more and what he posts he hand picks he doesn't post any old photo, he choose them and make sure everything about them is right from the lightening to the colour gradient of the photo. This I feel shows that Instagram exists in our society in and way in my opinion as I don't think it is healthy for people to be this addicted too social media and need to think about every little aspect of one single photo before posting it, instead of when Instagram first came out people couldn't edit photos and had to post pretty much the raw photo and didn't care how many people followed them or liked their photos

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion on social media I feel has changed not only throughout the time I have had it but whilst I've done my research for Me Too and social media as a whole. I do like social media for many different reasons, the main one for myself is the connectivity that social media brings as it means I can talk to anyone and message anything straight from my phone and it's now so easy and you dont even have to get up to talk 5 people at once and social media opens up doors that was once closed as before social media if a parent left a child at birth there was not a lot of chance for reconnection but now children have the option to find their parent and try to talk to them if they want to. I also enjoy the news and memes aspect as I mainly look at football news on social media and I read most of my news even about Performing Arts on social media as it can be posted on at anytime, so it is so up to date and you can get the latest news on there for example when someone who I admire Stan Lee, when he died I heard about it straight away, and I can use it to keep up to date with current events like the Australia bush fires. As well social media can be very funny and I feel brings out the creativity in most people as the amount of edits and memes that you seen straight away after an event is crazy and the people can be relentless. My opinion on social media hasn't always been so positive as before my research I knew I didn't use social media to it's full potential as I'm not a massive fan of how some people use it. As I feel bad if I kept harassing celebrities as some people do just to get a reply or for them to see you, everyone has messaged someone famous before but after no reply I dont try again but some people keep messaging and just annoying people and I feel that's wrong. Also the hate that is online is downright disgusting there's so many stories of abuse and bullying online not just on the celeb level on a day to day level at schools people can use social media to bully others and the platforms dont do anything about the abuse, even when Youtubers call it out and try to tackle it, the platforms, Twitter being one, haven't done anything and haven't changed anything like no accountability for people and no identity verification when people join these sites and I feel like this needs to change and soon. As I've done my research into Me Too and social media I have come to like social media more or at least what it can do, as I have mentioned the awareness made for the campaign by social media and the drive people have to get justice for the survivors does show the impact we can make and having Harvey Weinstein in court as I am writing this just shows that these people have made a difference as the man who started it all of may now pay for crimes. Overall I do like social media as it is doing and has done a lot of good since its creation but I feel it's still needs a lot of improvements and adaption to make it the secure and happy place that it is first looked upon when people join.

KSI- Account name, KSI
Info in bio- 'Everything Me' and link to his other works boxing, music, YouTube channel, other social media accounts.
Info they post- current events they have been doing for KSI, the boxing match the build up to that and then 3 post of his win and congratulating his team for all the hard work they did to help him. The images shows off how all the hard up, the 'trash-talking' and the hype paid off as JJ won the fight. Furthermore if you go further back you'll pictures with other celebrities like Floyd Mayweather and then you'll pictures with the Sidemen, their clothing, videos and just what they get up to and his music tour. He also does advertisements for things he uses and this increases his already very large income.
Hashtags- KSI, doesn't read to do much self promotion as he such a massive celebrity, he does some hashtags but these pretty much are either self promotion of promotion of something he is involved for example on video of training on October 26th he hash tagged #ksiloganpual2 as that was the fight was being marketed as and the other hashtags he uses are just for ads so his fans know that the post is actually ad. In most of KSI images he only has very short captions, either just a good quote that sums up the picture of what he going through or a funny quote that someone else has said and he has changed it in some way or used it for laugh and more likes. In some posts he does have longer captions these are mainly thanking people around him, like he did a very long post about his boxing team, how they were the reason he won and a post about being part of the sidemen for 6 years and talking about his experiences.
Selling- Their profile does sell them as an artist, as he promotes himself, and tries to make himself look as good as he can and he wants show him his achievements and what he does and what he has done. His profile is pretty professional for the way he comes across as he is quite a stirrer and does try to sometimes attack people but his Instagram professional he does take small 'digs' at people but this are subtle as he doesn't want to dilute his feed with 'internet drama' as he wants to be taken seriously in the music, boxing and generally in the world news and industries.
Represent well- I think KSI doesn't really care about how he represents the industry, just himself and his friends and people he thinks who deserve it, he does show his talent very well as he shows off his achievements and shows off what he has done, like the music and boxing and the YouTube videos. His is showing something new within the work he is doing and others and how they are breaking barriers as thats what he did, he used social media as a tool to help him go from a normal school kid to the famous creator that he is today. He used his little window of social media on YouTube to keep up with current trends, to do FIFA career modes and then ultimate team, and then moved on the more 'blogger videos' and diss tracks and then he did the boxing, he used to keep up with the trends but now he makes them, this shows his meteoric rise and how powerful and famous someone can become if they use social media as a tool to benefit themselves, people have tried to copy KSI but no one really has been that successful in every field he has tried his hand in as he has been pretty successful and resilient in doing everything that he's done.
Influences- I think the things I take from his profile are how he always @'s people and thanks people who have done stuff for him and who are doing things for him now, I could do this I could @ people more and thank people more and also just post more of my interests and have shorter captions, furthermore, I could always copy KSI but do it in my own way and try my hand at not only instgarm but branch out to other platforms as well like he did.

Why is Social Media a powerful tool/platform

# data[].attributes.body
Social Media can be a very powerful tool for anyone who understands how to use it. As through the masses of platforms and users if you can find a way to stand out and do something new and unique so people notice you then this will impact you in a positive way, I did a little case study on the YouTube KSI to show how social media can be a successful tool

# data[].attributes.body
Social Media can impact your chosen career path or profession you want to go into in positive and negative ways depending on many factors. Starting with the positive, social media can be a powerful tool which I will covered later, but you can use it to as I mentioned put your name and brand out there post about yourself and make people take notice this in turn, will impact you as it may mean you have more of chance in your career as your already more well known the other people going for the same job. Furthermore, if you wanted to you could tweet or tag famous people or companies in your posts to again see if this will impact you in a certain way. If you flip the scales social media could impact you as companies and organisations can use it to contact you quickly and effortlessly instead of having to wait weeks for letters or even a few days for emails, they can see your profile and with one click can be messaging you about opportunities. There is a negative way that social media can impact your career. As you could already have a career lets say as a blogger or influencer but people as I mention above will still abuse, bully and harassed you for any reason or no reason at all and this can impact not only on your mental health side but your profession side of things as you could start to self censor your own posts and lifestyle which is never good thing anyways as you shouldn't let comments and negativity change who you are and what you do, but it could also mean because you pull back on certain elements of your brand you may in turn miss out on massive employment opportunities, all this because of negative comments. One negative that I feel I have not covered from social media is the exposure it gives people so they feel like they can say what they want when they want and no one will check them up on it. For example a footballers career can be up an down buts let they start off at a small club but then sign for Manchester Utd, then they are in the spotlight and anything they have said on social media can be found this could then hinder them later on in life, if it was something small like 'they don't like Manchester Utd' or something worse. James Gunn is a very famous director and the same thing happened to him as over a decade ago he tweeted some very 'offensive” jokes about taboo topics like rape and pedophilia' and this meant that after while of him being in the spotlight people started to dig out this old tweets and this created a online storm that a man who can make these jokes shouldn't be working on such a privileged film and shouldn't be working for a company like Disney so 'Disney has fired writer-director James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after a right-wing media personality resurfaced a series of offensive tweets Gunn made, in many cases from 2009 and 2010. “The offensive attitudes and statements discovered on James’ Twitter feed are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio’s values,” Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, “and we have severed our business relationship with him.”' Disney fired James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and this massive as it became almost a side taking exercise people could take the side of this man made these jokes once and is a sicko and doesn't deserve work or this was a decade ago and people can change and jokes are jokes. Honestly this is the side I take as, and the fans and actors took sides, his original Guardians of the Galaxy cast sided with him and made a petition to get him rehired and fans got on board with this as well. 'Director James Gunn has been rehired to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3 after he was fired by Disney over decade-old tweets that joked about rape and abuse. It comes after famous cast members from the Marvel series signed an open letter pleading for Gunn's return. In a tweet he thanked Disney and his supporters and said he is "excited to continue making films that investigate the ties of love that bind us all". He was fired last July over the tweets that Disney called "indefensible".' Disney went back on what they said in my opinion I dont think they actually sacked him in the first place as money talks and that man has and can make them money so I think 'they sacked him' in the public eye and used social media to impact his career and make look like a bad guy and then the fans and actors used social media to impact James Gunn's career again to get him rehired in the public eye and it now looks like the fans did this themselves but I think this was the plan all along, this shows how social media can make or break someone's career and anything they put on social media can or will impact them later on down the line.

How can social media generate employment opportunities?

How can social media generate employment opportunities?

# data[].attributes.body
Social media can generate employment opportunities in many different ways, the most frequent type of gernateing employment opportunities is seeing advertisements online on social media sites as different sites have different algorithms but if you Google something or search for something on a site then you will get advertisements of things that you search and theres always catalogues of jobs and companies advertising for in my case young actors and performers for stage and screen roles just for experiences. You can also make business accounts on Facebook and Instagram and this will help you get employment opportunities as you can promote yourself by showing off what you do and how good you are at it and then by using hashtags and understanding posting methods gain more followers and people will start to notice you more and you will gain some contacts and hopefully some employment. On these business account you should and can post showreels on headshots of yourself so people can see what you do and how good you are it. As you grow a following on your business account and you get your name out there you can start doing ads for companies even ones that are to do with Performing Arts and then people start to recognize you, your name and your brand so they take note and notice who you are. Finally through social media and social networking which, which I have covered, you can find agencies online and then join them and this is a very simple way to generate employment opportunities for yourself.

What are the positives and negatives of social media 

# data[].attributes.body
Social media has many positives and negatives, I've covered some of them for particular social media sites but not overall. Starting off with the positives of social media it has so many because it is so vast and has so many branches to it. A massive positive is social networking. Social networking is 'the use of dedicated websites and applications to interact with other users, or to find people with similar interests to one's own', as well as this people use social networking as a way to expand their business or brand to benefit themselves and generate an extra income or expanded job opportunities which I will come onto later. Social networking is a positive as well because it just means people use social media to its neat full potential to enjoy the contents and activity gain something from being in their. By making contacts around the world that you can get in touch with the push of a few buttons, who can help you further and career or expand a business through their own contacts. Another positive of social media is just getting your name out there, if people can understand how to use the hashtags and understand the inner workings of social media they can really put themselves out in the world and try and make a splash in the pond that is the internet. A positive of social media just from a individuals point of view is making connections, talking to people, communication, being able to make friends with someone half way across the world just from your phone, it's a massive positive that the world is connected and people can learn to understand other cultures and ways off life, which in my opinion I hope will stop more conflicts before they happen if people learn more before they judge and this can be done through social media and connecting to others is the first step to this. I touched upon another positive their education through social media you can educate yourself and learn many different things from languages to cooking to DIY, as I mentioned above you can educate yourself on different cultures and ways of life, broaden your understanding of the world just from your bedroom, that's the power of social media. Social media is the fastest way to talk to someone without being in the same room as them, it's also the fastest way to find out news and issues rather than waiting for the 10pm news on the TV you can find out any issue from anywhere and keep up to date with news from all different topics like sport to politics, health care to the state of the African Rainforest. Referring back to the Me Too Movement, this wouldn't have happened if social media wasn't a thing as it can create awareness for anything that people care about and keep it relevant, the Me Too campaign was kept alive and going and still is now thanks to social media and the constant tweets, post and videos about it to keep fighting the fight and trying to get the rest of the world to notice and they did and because of that relentless battle one of the main culprits Harvey Weinstein is now in court and may pay for his crimes but it doesn't stop their the movement will continue and continue and through social media that will be done, the accounts, the hashtags everyone can help just by one Instagram story or a Tweet anything can add to the cause. Recently something social media has helped raise awareness for is the Australian Bush Fires, as people all over the world are posting about it and making aware the heroes over into the country who trying their best to stop the fires and save the animals, all over my timeline, full of English peoples accounts, and I can see posts everyday about this and people raising awareness and now money for them. Social media isn't all positive sadly it has many negatives, an issue that crops up most of the time for social media is its relation to mental health and how it can affect peoples mental health. As mentioned prior the comment section and replies on videos and tweets are dark places to go as people on social media feel like they are so untouched and powerful as for some sites you can make accounts without any validation needed so people can feel like they can say anything to anyone and get away with it so people openly abuse others and attack them for doing anything even if it's not really seen as wrong and this can happen over a long period of time and just be bullying by people to others over any platform they wish to us. This can then in turn affect the user receiving them and affect their mental health, self esteem and make them very depressed and affect them on a day to day level, the content they make, and how they live their lives and ultimately could end up in suicide or just death anything like that caused from social media really does show how negative it can be. Sadly there are more bad parts to it, another is the stalking and pedophilia, that are both ripe on many platforms, which really puts parents off their kids getting social media as, as I mentioned before when posting on a social media site they can post what they want and people see what they want so people can pose as anyone and they try to talk to anyone and use the site to try and meet the people they are stalking in person, or just looking at users online can be enough for those sick and twisted people. The last main negative part of social media that affects people is the comparisons that people make between themselves and celebrities, as people compare their own situations and looks to others and this lowers your self esteem and effects you on a personal level as makes you feel worse about yourself and the things that happening to you and the way you look. As people idolise celebrities for example kylie Jenner and see her lips and want them and then want to change the way they are with lip fillers and face lifts and the use of cosmetic surgery to make themselves feel better and this is never a good thing to change yourself because of someone else.

Twitter is a of the most well known and most popular sites of social media, it has been around now for almost 14 years so people have been using it since then and it had grown and grown, it used by millions of people around the world. It differs from other social media sites and is mainly is a word based platform with a weird rule of only being able to tweet very short messages to your followers and the world, another way to describe this is microblogging. 'Microblogging is a combination of blogging and instant messaging that allows users to create short messages to be posted and shared with an audience online. Social platforms like Twitter have become extremely popular forms of this new type of blogging, especially on the mobile web — making it much more convenient to communicate with people compared to the days when desktop web browsing and interaction was the norm', the short messages can be in any form from text to images, videos and even gifs. Back to Twitter though, it can be used in many different ways for the different needs of the user, as people can use it to discover other accounts, and find interesting news and memes for themselves to enjoy. Twitter is a very popular site but why is it ? 'In addition to its relative novelty, Twitter's big appeal is how scan-friendly it is: You can track hundreds of interesting Twitter users and read their content with a glance. This is ideal for our modern attention-deficit world. Twitter employs a purposeful message size restriction to keep things scan-friendly: every microblog tweet entry is limited to 280 characters or less. This size cap promotes the focused and clever use of language, which makes tweets easy to scan, and challenging to write. This size restriction made Twitter a popular social tool.' The way twitter works is really down to tweeting what you want and then gaining a following and then tweeting on a regular basis so your following dont lose interest and you as an individual stay relevant. So anyone can tweet, people can tweet for many reasons as well some of these being; 'vanity, attention, shameless self-promotion of their web pages, or simple boredom'. Twitter can be a tool for peoples careers, journalism for example is a career that benefit from Twitter as budding young journalists can use this platform to get themselves heard and get their opinion to the world. Not all of Twitter is good though some of it as horrible as I mentioned it suffers from the same problem as YouTube the comment section of a video or the replies on a tweet isn't really a place to go for kindness as people can be horrible and some comments are inhumane. A sadly quite famous strand of the horrible part of Twitter is known as 'Football Twitter' this is kind of like a movement of accounts that are slowly getting blocked from the site as they just abuse and try to defame football stars and around famous that are in and around the game. This is a problem for twitter as you can make any account with any name so and nothing is fact checked so people feel like they can get away with stuff and say stuff they wouldn't normally do in person. Gladly though especially in the last few years Twitter has had it's up side too, because of its conciseness and the power that words have and the following of the celebrities and the easily available retweet feature the Me Too campaign thrived on this platform and really took off from just a smallish movement to a worldwide phenomenon that it now is and because or the constant use of Twitter the movement even now over 2 years on since it blew up, it can still stay relevant and people can still come out with stories and news about the issues that surround it. Twitter appeals to anyone and everyone including celebrities as many of them use it and understand how to use it well as they send 'daily updates foster a sense of connectedness with their followers, which is powerful for advertising purposes and also compelling and motivating for the people who following the celebs', many very famous celebs use Twitter like Ariana Grande, Piers Morgan, The Rock and even Donald Trump. Twitter can also be used for marketing tool for companies as well because 'The modern internet-savvy user has grown tired of television advertisements. People prefer advertising that is fast, less intrusive, and can be turned on or off at will. Twitter is exactly that.' (Gil, 2019)

Musical.ly was a quite popular short form video sharing app that was around for a while but in August 2018 it was bought out then shut down and taken over by the company called ByteDance and new app was created, all the users, content and accounts were automatically moved across to the new app called Tik Tok. Tik Tok kept the same basic style as its predecessor, with the short form videos up to 15 seconds on any topic. Tik Tok has many different features as it 'offers users a wide selection of sounds and song snippets, along with the option to add special effects and filters. There is also an option to directly add videos created on your phone.' 'In September, TikTok added the reactions feature which allows users to record their reactions to videos and share. TikTok has also added a digital well-being feature that alerts users when they spend over two hours on the app. The new app is being promoted as a video-sharing social network. TikTok users can create a variety of videos ranging from challenges, dance videos, magic tricks, and funny videos. The key differentiating factor between Musical.ly and Tik Tok is that the latter has a much broader scope for video creation.' Tik Tok over the last year and especially very recently has become very very popular and more and more people have jumped on the app either to make Tik Tok's or just to watch them. 'The app reportedly has amassed over 500 million monthly active users, the US being the most popular countrywhere it has been downloaded over 80 million times.' 'Another key driving factor in TikTok app’s popularity is the fact that despite being a global app, it has a strong focus on localised content. The app often runs local contests and challenges and captures on local trends through the use of localised hashtags. TikTok runs the “1 million audition” contest across several countries, separately. For each contest, participants are given themes to create videos and then the top video creators are awarded. This contest not only leads to the creation of thousands of local videos, for each country where it is held but also helps TikTok creators gain recognition and followers. One such contest held in Russia in September 2018 gained 31,000 video entries and millions of views from TikTok users. Thus, it helped promote the app in the country. The app also uses local trending hashtags to suggest topics for content creation to its users. This helps the app capitalise on local trends and generate viral content for the platform. For example, “Seaweed Dance” was a fun video type that went viral in China. Tens of thousands of TikTok users created a video on this theme. TikTok also sends personalised recommendations to each of its users. This ensures that TikTok users are always updated on the latest trending videos and are never out of ideas for video creation. Using these techniques, TikTok has been able to pull off localisation on a global scale.' 'this short-form video content is played as soon as a user opens the app. The videos start playing one-by-one and a viewer gets lost in a sea of fun, entertaining, addictive video content. Due to this addictive nature of the type of content, it is very easy for people to keep watching random videos for hours.' Tik Tok hasn't been completely taken over by brands yet but it could be done as 'due to its fast growth and rising popularity, many brands are now realising the potential of TikTok as a marketing channel.' 'Several brands have utilised techniques like TikTok challenges and contests to get users to generate brand-related content. Brands are also leveraging hashtags, in a more or less similar fashion as on other social media platforms, to promote their TikTok marketing campaigns. Take, for example, Guess brand’s #InMyDenim campaign. On September 1, 2018, the Guess brand took over TikTok and invited all US-based TikTok users to their #InMyDenim hashtag challenge. The contest urged users to create video content wearing denim (of course) and using the hashtag. This was the start of TikTok’s brand partnerships in the US.' At this moment Tik Tok is very popular but it will need to do what YouTube has done so very well over the years, it needs to innovate and find 'new ways to engage their user base.' 'They will also have to make the platform more marketing-friendly for brands in order to establish the app as a social network that is going to stay. With more brands looking to TikTok to further expand their social media marketing reach, TikTok is on the right track. If it is able to capitalise on brand engagements, it is sure to grow further and may even be able to compete with other social media platforms.' (The Editors at InfluencerMarketingHub, 2019)

YouTube does have lots benefits some of these if do you well are the fame and fortune that comes with it, if you can make an actual job out of it, its way more fun working 9 to 5 on a normal job, you can pretty much create what you want and when you want, you join a community of millions that you work with and thrive off and make groups that can be successful and create whole new lives for people. YouTube does has its downsides though as many youtubers joke about 'the comments' section on any and mostly all videos is very dark and negative place as people can comment anything pretty much and get away with it, which can affect the mental health, the progression and the overall mood of the YouTuber receiving these comments, this is a massive downside of the platform, which it shares with Twitter. Some downsides of YouTube is the content as because of how popular the site is, some of the content is unsavory and explicit and let's down the rest of the platform in my own opinion

# data[].attributes.body
YouTube is a very well known social media site and I think a different type of social media site to the rest of them and has been around quite a long time, its been around since 2005 and ever since it has been growing and growing and now its one of the biggest social media sites in the world. Everyone pretty much can understand the features of YouTube you post videos on their to get views, fans and a following, really anyone can do it as well, there is millions of youtubers and because now the evolution of technology means anyone with a decent smart phone can actually become a youtuber just from that one device and its going to get even easier for people to create videos and post them but realistic anyone can do it but not everyone can become famous on this very competitive platform, only the people who really understand the platform can conquer it, its always changing and shifting as well with new users and people growing up and falling out of love with their once favourite youtubers, so the crown of YouTube is ever changing right now in my own opinion and I think for once the opinion of the mainstream media KSI is on top and he is doing anything he wants an doing well, he's on morning television, working with different companies, being in very famous news outlets like 'The Sunday Times Magazine' and all this is because of the boxing rematch he put on with Logan Paul and the reason they both got there was because they conquered the platform and understand when to post, what hashtags, what to post, what to say and what not to say, they grasp the YouTube algorithm better than most and used it to their career advantage.

Facebook is the biggest, most popular and most well known social media site in the world, I think this is because of many reasons one of these is because it is so user friendly and easy to use for any generation so a variety of ages use this form of social media. It started out as just way to keep in contact with your friends and as a way to talk to them and if they live far away you can use it to stay friends, so because of this simple premise millions and millions of people have signed up to it and still use it or something Facebook have successfully done is planted themselves in place where people use their account on it to sign in other apps, games and websites so they are still connected to everyone even if they don't use it on daily basis, and because of this they have stayed relevant even if its not with the current teenage population it is still used millions of adults around the world. 'Facebook makes it simple to share photos, text messages, videos, status posts and feelings on Facebook. The site is entertaining and a regular daily stop for many users. Unlike some social network sites, Facebook does not allow adult content. When users transgress and are reported, they are banned from the site. Facebook provides a customizable set of privacy controls, so users can protect their information from getting to third-party individuals.' Facebook over the years has had many updates and now has a range of features some of its own creation and some taken from other social media sites, these features include friends list, uploading photos, 'interactive online chat and the ability to comment on your friend's profile pages to keep in touch, share information', 'supports group pages, fan pages, and business pages that let businesses use Facebook as a vehicle for social media marketing', 'Facebook's developer network delivers advanced functionality and monetization options', 'You can stream video live using Facebook Live', 'Chat with Facebook friends and family members, or auto-display Facebook pictures with the Facebook Portal device'.

'Facebook began in February of 2004 as a school-based social network at Harvard University. It was created by Mark Zuckerberg along with Edward Saverin, both students at the college. It wasn't until 2006 that Facebook opened to anyone 13 years or older and took off, rapidly overtaking MySpace as the most popular social network in the world. Facebook's success can be attributed to its ability to appeal to both people and businesses and its ability to interact with sites around the web by providing a single login that works across multiple sites.'
