I think privacy is a mild concern in my life only because the possibility of revealing information to other people is definitely more possible nowadays than before because of the advancement of technology and connections all over the world. This can be achieved through the likes of getting into contact with people you know and getting private information from someone else. Therefore, that feeling of consent is thrown out the window as people have the freedom to practically do what they want. However, due to advancements in IT and general technology, we see the confidentiality of user information such as bank details, addresses, and passports, as those are stored in a database in that only accounts and professional individuals can access. Thus, that gives more comfort knowing that my information is in the hands of accredited individuals who for legal reasons cannot reveal information to other people. In regards to how privacy changed over time, l definitely think there is some concern regarding giving personal information to others. For example; when filling out job applications where it tells the user to give their date of birth to home address to phone numbers , there is a lot of trust that is to be put into other people and that can be slightly unsettling. Platforms such as Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, and many more are great examples of how your information can be spread but l find in this day and age, you are obligated to put yourself out there just due to the fact that we live in a digital world.

The next type of social capital is bridging social capital, where people from different social, ethnic, economic, and ideological backgrounds form slightly weaker relationships than those in bonding social capital (almost foreign-like, you could say). Examples that I have come across include my workplace, where people come from different places all around the world as we now live in a much more diverse society. This can spur professional relationships with them, as you don't see them as near and dear to your heart as close friends and family. However, though you may not like everyone, you must respect them, as it makes the world a lot more complicated if you can't develop a formal and/or professional relationship with that person.

The last type of social capital is linking social capital. Linking social capital refers to the connections between those with differing levels of power and/or social status. Examples that I see of this can be taken from a professional standpoint; for instance, your manager is superior to you in terms of power and how they want to run the business, and you have to comply with their demands. Thus, you see them more as an acquaintance rather than personal friends because of their higher status. On the opposite side of the spectrum, but still in correlation to linking social capital, is how friend groups can come from different strata regarding wealth. Personally, in my friend group, there are friends who come from many different classes, but that doesn't mean I judge them based on a financial front. It is their morals, values, respect, and kindness that I appreciate the most when considering a close and personal friend.

The second takeaway I want to highlight from this video is the reliance on government and corporate sources. Media is heavily dependent on government officials and corporations as they are deemed credible and authoritative, but this dependency can be skewed. These "big names" ultimately marginalize many opinions and thoughts conceived every day, reinforcing the status quo.

Very briefly, the third takeaway l want to talk about is the flak and how it serves as a powerful tool to discipline the media, discouraging them from publishing controversial content. Moreover, large corporations and news outlets want to keep their audience in good hands and ensure they comply with their interests. Furthermore, this will establish more credibility and accountability with big corporations so they still maintain a name for themselves in the current day-to-day society.
