The Socratic discussion was successful as everyones's voice was heard. There were sometimes disagreements which lead to a greater in depth discussion. For example when Zai Zai shared a contrasting opinion with the others on the issue of how social media can be addictive. This created a domino effect as many others started to speak up on their opinion. This lead to a balanced discussion that involved multiple perspectives and ideas and made me revaluate my existing ideas.

I understood that social media isn't all bad or all good and there are different factors for ideologies.

The Socratic discussion was rather enjoyable and was easy to understand what an other person is saying or replying.

But it was also rather difficult with a small group,an that is the weakness of this method.

The last thing that i think of this method of understanding is that when Long agreed with an answer another person would say something that would start an conversation and there would be more people either saying what they think and if they agree or not.

Socratic Seminar Reflection:

The discussion was about how Social Media affects teenagers.
1st perspective: Ella thought that reducing the time spent on Social Media, or eliminating Social Media completely, wasn't such a great idea because it would be hard for teenagers to do. Zai Zai disagreed with her opinion because he thought, that over time, teenagers would be able to adapt to the "No using Social Media rule" but then Ella disagreed and changed my opinion completely as she referred to the article talking about how Social Media was as addictive as drugs and alcohol and it would be extremely difficult for people to change their ways.
2nd perspective: I noticed that when the second group was talking about how an age limit should be set on a platform so only certain people could access it, Huan partially agreed and disagreed. He thought that an age limit is fine and all, but people can lie about their age, and gave evidence to convince us about that. Not only did he do this, but he also added in his own opinion talking about how ages shouldn't be restricted but instead, certain content should be either covered up, filtered, or taken out completely according to the age group.
3rd perspective: I liked how there were many disagreements but they were shown politely and respectfully. They were said in an appropriate way which really engaged others into the conversation and made it more interesting.

Reflection

In the Socratic seminar activity, I was in the inner circle of the second round.

This second round of conversation is weaker than the first; there was not much evidence given from the article and the whole conversation's opinions is their own experiences or research/knowledge.

The second conversation is more 'awkward' and isn't very balance compared to the first conversation. Not much people are speaking up and telling their opinions to each others about the topic.

On the first round, I was an observer. I saw good questions and responses in the conversation and the overall conversation is great and balanced.

There was one topic that I find interesting was how social media is more addictive than alcohol (and other substances). This was a study written in the article we looked at. In the paragraph that wrote that social media is more addictive than alcohol, it also said that addiction occurs with some some people. From the conversation, they were talking if almost every social media users are addicted.

# data[].attributes.body
Reflection: The topic of the Sacratic Seminar was about the influences of social media on teenagers.
1st group:
Something I found interesting was when Ella disagreed the idea of limiting the time spending on social media. She supported her perspecitve by using a static that social media can be addictive as alcohol or drugs, and said that limitting the time of use on social media can be as difficult as quitting/limitting alcohol or drugs.
2nd group:
One of the topics we debated was about setting age restriction. Long, who suggested this topic to the dicussion, said that social media has age limit and should only allow people older than 18 years old use it. He supported his idea by saying that 18 is an appropriate to start using social media since people are mature enough to handle themselves. Then, Juan said tha he partially disagreed and agreed at the same. Then he shared his own idea that younger teens are not necessarily needed to be excluded from the social media community, however, if they make a social media account, it should be something that only particular people are able to see it.

I want to be reincarnated as an Egg and Fried :D

Reflection: Eggs are very awesome! :D

2nd Reflection: In the first few minutes of our Socratic seminar it was pretty quiet as we weren't that comfortable yet but eventually everyone was pretty comfortable and chill and decided that "Hey, there's nothing wrong with me putting my idea across is there?" And thus, out wonderful adventures through  our thoughts/questions/opinions began, and I have to say, what an amazing adventure it was!

An example of this was when Ella began addressing how limiting the time teens have to use social media was as bad as quitting Smoking or Drinking Beer, and oh boy, that's where people opened up about their opinions.

Round 1:
When we first started the Socratic seminar I was in the outer circle in the first round. I really liked how every single person contributed in the group discussion. One topic that was discussed was "Studies have shown that social media is more addictive than cigarettes or alcohol ". This was from the Social media article. This topic was brought up by Ella and it was always brought up again. I found this really good and interesting since everyone had a say about this certain topic which was good since the outer circle could then understand the topic even better and people from the inner circle could to. One other thing I liked about the discussion was that Ella and Ananya  said that they disagreed but in a appropriate way which made the discussion even more interesting since they could then explain their reasoning and sometimes people would even change their mind. I also really liked how every time someone finished their "statement" Mireu asked another question which made the discussion keep on going so there was not a lot of awkward silence.

Round 2:
On one of the questions I asked (What age should people get involved in social media? ) Ichiro, Adya, Dunja, Long had a huge discussion and people disagreed and agreed. I found this really interesting since some people changed their mind and added onto why they changed their mind. Some people said that the age limit for the social media should be 18 since the people would be the most mature. Then I said that people do not want to wait until they are 18 to use a certain social media and other people started to get my point but then also disagreed.

# data[].attributes.body
The Socratic seminar was about teenagers using Social Media.

Round 1: Ella said that the time limit of Social Media is as difficult as quitting alcohol and drugs.

Round 2: Long thought that setting age restrictions for people over the age of 18 would reduce the number of teenagers using social media.
Certainly, if it is over the age of 18, it is possible to make a plan. I also thought that I could live a good life without waste of time.

Reflection:
Socratic seminar was about how does social media influence teen's behavior. One of the topic was is limiting time of using social media good? Ananya said if we limit the time, teen's will realize that they don't really need social media and I agree with that opinion because if we limit the time, they will find something else to do in that time. Then, they will realize that they can still have fun doing other things. Another topic was which age do you think we should start using the social media. I first thought 18 is a good age to use social media because they will know how should they act in different kind of situation. But now I think 18 is not a good age to start the social media because dunja said social media will help us know the trend. She also said that social media will help us communicate with our friends so if we don't use social media, it could be hard to join with our friends and now agree with that opinion.

Reflection:
The Socratic seminar was a discussion about the main question 'how does social media influence teen's behaviour and interactions with others' splitting into several other questions created by us.

One topic discussed in the second round was about cyber bullying or being rude on social media. When Ichiro mentioned that being rude could be a major problem since due to the anonymity, Juan disagreed by saying people were not anonymous and people who were being rude could be reported by the victims. This made me think that social media platforms already have a very sufficient structure of cyber bullying.

Another topic discussed was about the age limits in social media. While some students thought it would be beneficial to the teenagers to have a higher age limit of 18, Juan and other pupils disagreed that it will be useless since teens could easily lie about their age when they are creating their accounts. This makes me believe that social media platforms are still lacking some structure in age restrictions

# data[].attributes.body
Reflection:
On the second round, when I got to observe a people discussing social media, I noticed they each had a very different perspective. For instance one of my classmates, Long, thought that having a higher age limit (18) would help decrease the amount of teens which use social media. He said this because he thought that by 18 teens are much more mature and know how to handle situations better. I understand the point he was making because after 18 years of life you have had many more experiences than when you are 13 years old. At 18 you have met very many people in your life, and have a better understanding towards socially interacting face to face with others. I do agree with his argument but it makes me think wether having this higher age rule work, after all it is very easy to lie to a system about your age.
Another topic which was being discussed was making it possible to

From this socratic seminar activity, we discussed the issue of social media influencing teen's behavior and interactions with others. Zaizai's opinion was that when we decrease the amount of time we spend on social media day by day, we will be less addicted to it and slowly adapt to a new environment without social media. I agree with his opinion after the discussion because I think we can definitely live a happy life without social media. Teens are stressing out to full-fill their likes and wants from the audience and they shouldn't be. We are still growing and we should learn how to love ourselves as just as who we truly are.

Reflection:
While observing the first group's Socratic seminar, I noticed that a large amount of evidence from the text was used. The Socratic seminar was on the subject of social media and its impact on teens.

A topic discussed by Ananya was about how social media impacts mental health. I understood that she believes that when somebody is attempting to cut off their usage of social media, it is more beneficial to gradually decrease the time social media is being used rather than a sudden stopping of their usage. I agree with this opinion as I believe that despite having many negative impacts on its users, social media is also helpful to some degree. For example social media makes it possible to communicate to friends and family across the world. It also makes it easier for people with similar interests to assist each other such as if somebody is sick and could not attend class they would be able to learn the same information as their peers by sharing notes.

# data[].attributes.body
Reflection:
The goal of the Socratic seminar discussion was to understand and discuss the question "how does social media influence teen's behavior and interactions with other?" We used evidence and example from an article discussing the costs and benefits of social media. One topic that was discussed was that perhaps if there were more social media apps in which you have to be a specific age to access it then there would much less problems regarding social media since the people using it are more mature and are able to handle it. I do not believe that this would ever happen because the large social media companies want to earn money. Putting an age limit on social media users would mean losing clients and therefore also money. On these large social media companies such as facebook since many people use it, there will also be more information on what is going on and because most teenager's don't want to miss out they will try to continue to use social media. Juan at one point said in the discussion that since social media is global and because of that even if a person is cyber bullied they will not be able to hold these people responsible for any mean things they said. Additionally, he said that teenagers have to learn to deal with the negative impacts of social media. I agree with this however I also believe in order for this to happen they must learn how to use social media and learn to deal with such potential bullying situations. Ella said that social media is like any other addiction and when we were discussing if such addictions can be broken bit by bit, she disagreed because she said that even this would prove to be very hard. I agree and don't agree with this because it also depends on the kind of person which is trying to stop a social media addiction. If you have a motivation to stop using social media more and spend more time in face to face conversations then this might work.

The Origin of social media was simply communicating through long distances.

Though, over the years social media has improved more and more as technology becomes better as communication could be transferred in a matter of seconds in today's world.

The first bit of evidence that we have of Social Media is during the 19th Century when a man by the name of Samuel Morse sended a telegraph from Washington DC to Baltimore saying, "What have god wrought?"

# data[].attributes.body
The discussion in the Socratic seminar was about Social media.

I was in the second discussion session. There were many questions and ideas. One question was "What age would be best to start using social media" from Dunja. My comment was it should be 18 so people could me more mature using social media but Adya disagree and said "For people who travel a lot, younger people should have the ability to use social media to talk to others far from them".

The discussion taught me a lot about other peoples perspective and their ability to change what people think around them, for example Adya made other people think about kids trying to chat with their friend which far from them and how creating a another platform of social media for younger people will be good.

# data[].attributes.body
The first sign of social media ever being used was by Samuel Morse. He successfully sent a telegraph from Washington D.C to Baltimore. This all occurred in the 1800. This was the first time someone was able to communicate with someone from another state. Over the years in the 2000's people started to connect more and more on apps like Youtube, Instagram and facebook were invented to connect all over the world. People then also started using social media not only for pleasure or fun but then also started using it for certain jobs or companies to sell their product.
One of the largest success in the history of Social media was Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg attracted 2.2 billion people in a span of 14 years. (2004)

Now in 2018 one of the largest problems is fake news. It is like a gossip but all around the world and no one knows if it is true or not.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media first originated in the 1800's. It slowly started when a man name Samuel Morse sent a telegraph to Washington D.C. to Baltimore. This all happened in the year 1844. Later on in 1969 the Militaries first Social Media Attempt occurred. In the upcoming years people started to connect from all around the world and for example created status blogs. Also people started to create profiles and 'friend' one another. Around the 2000's, apps like Facebook, gmail and snapchat one of the most popular apps today, started to arise. Social media is slowly starting to take over us and manage our lives. Different social media creators could come up with more advanced social media in the future. How will social media change us and the world around us in the future and what will happen?

One of the first steps towards social media was in 1844 when Samuel Morse Sent a telegraph to Washington. Over 150 years after this step towards social media is made, it has lead to virtual reality and fake news. Social Media really begun when the ARPAN tried to connect to universities but only was capable to transmit 2 letters. Two years later after this event six degrees was created where people could "friend" each other. Later on 2002 a real social media site is created.

Social media first started by the man name Samuel Morse in 1844. He sent a telegraph from Washington D.C to Baltimore. After that, people started to use social media to link up with business and after some years later other social media was created.

One of the social media could be facebook which was created in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. Facebook is also one of the most social media now a day.

Social media originated during the 1800s as the first steps made towards this discovery was in 1844. The first step was made by a man named Samuel Morse. He was able to send a telegraph message to another person. Another big leap for social media was in 1997 when the first social media concept started to thrive. This was in the form of a social site by the name of six degrees. During 2003 there was a turning point for businesses as linkedin provided a platform for job applications and other business related tools. In 2004 the boom of facebook began and it became a worldwide source that was used by millions. Facebook had a domino affect as soon many more social media platforms were arising in popularity. Domains such as Youtube, Snapchat, Myspace, Twitter and Instagram were venturing on their journey of fame.

The current state of social media, although advanced, has become a place to share fake news due to its progression. It is hard to know what it true and what is fake, therefore in the future, steps to filter information should be made.

Social media originated from sending letter to each other and then became sending mores to contact one another in the war. etc.

Next, in 1997 there was this small site called Six degrees which had over one million people on it and they were able to friend other people and post things on it.

In 2002 there was a new challenger, Friendster which was a site that wold let you chat with other people and friend people and have a friendly chat, but since June 14 2015 they have stopped there server.

Social media started (in early 1844) because people wanted to communicate to others effectively so they find ways to do so—which then made social media expand and is now a part of our lives.

The first form of fast communication is Morse code. Then the military gave it a try, which is successful for transmitting two letters.

Then, the start of Today's social media sites began from sixdegrees with 1 million members that can friend each others—which lead apps like Facebook, Youtube and Gmail to occur in the 2000's.

Now, as in 2018, there are problems revolving around fake news. And Virtual reality exists now. Yay.😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍😍😍😍💕💕💕💕😆😆😆🤔🤔🤔🤔😃😃😃✔✔✔💖💖🌹🌹🎉🎉

The first form of social media was first used in 1844, when Morse sent a message from Washington D.C to Baltimore using a telegraph.

After a century later, in 1969, several universities were connected on a proto-internet to transmit two letters between them.

A few decades later, the first modern social media website was created. Six Degrees served 1 million members from 1997 to 2001.

In 2004, the most used social media of today, Facebook was launched by Mark Zuckerberg with the help of his Harvard roommates.

Many contemporary social media sites were launched between 2005-2013, including Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat, and etc.

In the present day, virtual reality, widely known as VR, and 390-degree videos are dominating video content social media sites.

Social media was first started by a man called Samuel Morse. It was soon enough used in military in a form of communication and in 2003, it started linking up with businesses. After, a lot of social medias that we still use nowadays like Youtube, Snapchat, and Vine were released. However, in 2018 there is an issue of people being allowed to post anything on social media because some people are strongly influenced by it.

The first signs of social media were in the form of a telegraph which was first sent in 1844 by Samuel Morse.
The first social media site six degrees was founded in 1997.
In 2004 Facebook emerged.
In 2006 MySpace became the most popular social media app in the US.
One of the major turning points for social media would be in 2010 when 750 tweets were sent each minute.
Today the most popular social media sites would be face book which also owns numerous other social media apps such as Instagram. China has also started to develop some major social media websites such as WeChat. However, it has also been subjected to fake news and been used by multiple governments to gain popularity and communicate with the world. Just recently a new form of social media was introduced. It is called Virtual Reality.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media started when someone tried to send a message by using Morse code through radio waves.

The military tried creating social media by sending a word from a computer to another computer else where.

It was successful after lot of attempt and it gave birth to social media. Companies started creating social media with a way to create a profile, add friend and chat to them.

Than more ad more companies start creating their own social media and some got a lot of attention which than end up creating more which has more better features. until now the present where there are a lot of people using social media daily.

Everything in social media is not all good because there are a new born threat called fake news. It spread through all social media making people believe it is true and making the wrong choice.

The start of Social Media was in the early 1800's and was not actually a website or an app, but a telegraph sent by Samuel Morse from one state to another in 1844.
Then during 1969, the military made an attempt to start a way of communicating on a ProtoNet with universities. Unfortunately only two of their original letters "LO" from "LOGIN" managed to get sent over. This was still known as a huge accomplishment.
The real Social Media craze started in the late 1900's when "Six Degrees" was made and from 1997 till 2001 it was the latest craze with over 1 million users. Users were able to interact with one another, and create profiles.

"Friendster" is launched and is immediately a huge success. Google is now trying to buy sites, because of the way people has positively reacted to them, and many sites refuse them, making a big mistake. In 2004, google decides to create its own mail service, known as "Gmail" And in the same year Mark Zuckerburg launches "Facebook", which was originally created for Harvard students, but was ended up letting anyone anywhere have access to it.
For the next few years, Youtube (created 2005) a video making and watching site was created. So is Myspace (2006), which ended up being the most popular social media site created at that time. Social Media was originally used for positive ways, but nowadays, it has taken a huge turn in the wrong direction. People are using these sites and apps for all the wrong reasons, and not only is this harmful to their health but also to the people around them.

Social media is a platform meant for communication. A concept similar to social media was first created by Samuel Morse in 1844. He sent the first telegraph from Washington DC to Baltimore.

In 1969, the ARPAN also attempted to create a sort of social media. Its goal was to connect universities.

There were many breakthroughs concerning social media. Many new social media sites were created such as Six Degrees, Live Journal, etc.

Recently an issue has emerged, fake news is becoming more and more common and is impacting many people due to a large part of the population being on social media.

# data[].attributes.body
The first step towards a social media-like concept was made by a man names Samuel Morse. He sent a telegraph message from one state to another successfully. (1844)

In 1969, the military had their first crack at communication on a "proto-internet". They tried and succeeded at sending a message to a university, sending the word "LOGIN" but only the first two letters arriving, but nevertheless it was still considered a major success.

Then in 1997 "Six Degrees" was launched. The first social media website. It allowed users to interact with one another.

Then over the next few decades the rate of social media app production flew through the roof. Social media giants such as Facebook (2004), Youtube (2005) and Instagram (2010) were invented to allow interaction between users like never before. Huge attention was brought to these applications as they were the first to be able to offer such services. These applications rack in hundreds of millions of users each month with some even reaching the 1 billion mark.

But in the past few years social media has taken a somewhat down-turn, not economic-wise, but reliability and health wise. People are using social media obsessively and it's incredibly harmful. Not only that but people are now questioning the reliability of these social media apps and the news they spread. These harmful factors lead us to ponder on the future of the internet and how humanity will deal with these issues and this world-wide addiction for social media
