<p>Influence of Social Media on Democracy.</p>

<p>With todays society influenced so much by the use of social media it is not
right to say that this generation should be avoiding social media and turning back to old
ways of obtaining information. Instead we should be embracing this newfound medium
as a place to research, share, and engage in conversation on several issues. The purpose
of my website is to demonstrate how social media can be used to positively influence
democracy in a society where it is has taken a turn for the worse.
Todays generation has become so caught up with issues that come from the
influences in society that they have become ignorant to what it is really important in a
healthy American democracy. One area that this generation tends to lack more and more
on is the motivation to become informed and engaged citizens. These adolescents and
young adults tend to think their opinion doesnt matter. Naturally, this comes from the
pressures and brutality of social media. However, by changing the language on social
media the power can be given back to the people to voice facts and opinions. A book
titled Social Media and Democracy pleads the argument that social media can be used as
a utopian tool for users to innovate democracy in America.
Social media has been used to spark many social movements. There are constantly
numerous posts and hashtags circulating that are calling people to action. A recent
example was #ShareYourEars, in which Disney promised to donate $5 to the Make-A-
Wish foundation for every selfie that was posted to social media with Mickey Mouse ears
and the use of #ShareYourEars. This is just one example of the many ways social
media can be used to spark action. It is through examples like these that I believe social
media can be used to change the way citizens become informed and engaged in
democracy.
The founder and president of Legacy International, J.E. Rash, mentioned in an
article Social Media and Democracy that social media is democratic, dynamic, and
brings challenges and success to our consciousness at an ever-increasing rate. Social
media forces us to see different perspectives of the different issues we all face every day.
By using social media as a medium to talk about and engage in democracy, we are forced
to broaden our perspectives.
Being an engaged citizen of democracy means becoming informed, developing
thoughts and opinions based on the knowledge, and engaging in your opinions by
participating in conversation. Social media has become the medium for voicing opinions
and it can be used to create more engage citizens on democracy.</p>
