RESPONSABILITY


 * RESPONSIBILITY: "What is our responsibility?" The understanding that people make choices based on their understandings, and the actions they take as a result do make a difference**

= SYNTHESIS =

Social networks are very helpul and enjoyable, you can use it how you want to. You can play, chat, share pictures and videos and a lot more. However, some people don't know how to use them correctly. People start to do things overange, they go over the limit. Our RESPONSIBILITY is to stop this. We all have resposibilities and in those theres the responsibility of having a balanced life. As well as a balnced diet, or a balanced work, or a balanced exercise, theres also a balanced habit with social networks. That balnce is very easy, you just need to tell yourself from the inside that you will not stay in a social network more than 2 or 3 hours a day, and spend more time with your family or friend, they are not forever! Our responsibility is to reach that balance and apply it in our daily lifes. Other part of that responsibility is to tell other people about this balance and try to help them to apply it in their life. This way, you help yourself and other people not to get to addiction. REMEMBER: What parents do, kids follow. So, heres the tip: parents, you should try to teach your children good habits with social networks and do it you too. Kids, if you see your parents being hipocrites - stop them. We all have responsibilities and we must follow them.

= Responsability!! -Vera- 06/05/11 - INVESTIGATION =

Through looking in web pages, videos, pictures and investigating about the topic assigned, I found out that we need to say to ourselves, NOT MORE! I mean, everyone needs to have a responsability, like asking yourself some rethorical questions, like in Maya's post and be conscious about the negative consequences that could happen such as Laura's post.

On the other hand I was looking for videos and i found that Miley Cyrus, a famous singer in the world, had to delet her twitter because she was passing more time in that social network, than with her friends, family and in simple words, "REAL LIFE". She had many problems with twitter because there where always people that start insulting her etc, her life wasn't PRIVATE anymore... well here is the video:

DO YOU WANT THIS HAPPENS TO YOU? NO? So please take the responsabilty to not exagerate with the amount of time that you spend in the internet in general!

Social networks are great and helpful, we use them how we want and that's fine, but some people do not know how to use them correctly. For a business man they are very helpful because he can post publicity on the web so thet other people can see it and he can sell things online. For a doctor it is very useful because he can talk in the chat opcion with his/her coworkers about medicine things or about how they are going to solve a case or even about the medical meeting they will have that evening. This people are using the social network effectively and correctly, however, some people don't use it correctly. This people just use it to post unrelevant things like "i am eating a hamburger with tons of CHEESE!!", i mean, WHO CARES??? Also one of the uses this people give to the social network is games. That's fine, but the uncorrect thing is that they spend HOURS playing the game. They are so addicted to it that they simply can't stop. Some of this people blame the social network of making them a bad parent or a bad student or a bad worker, etc., but is really the social networks who make them a bad parent, student or worker? Or are themselves who do this? Well, it is not the social network, i'm sure of that. Now, this people need to something about it, and they need to apply their RESPONSIBILITY. Yeah, you read well, RESPONSIBILITY. Every one has responsibilities.

You don't know them? Well, i will present them to you depending on the most common charges.

**//Social Networks are not the problem... The problem is how some people use them - Maya - 12 May 2011 - PRIOR KNOWLEDGE//**

Social Networks are not the problem. They can help us in many different ways. The problem is caused depending on how people use it. Some people can use social networks for work reasons or keeping in touch with friends and family, while others could go for hours and hours and get addicted or separated from their family or friends. Our responsibility is to be aware of how much time we pass on the social network.We have to ask ourselves if what we are doing is important or necessary enough for me to be missing family or friend time or just instead of doing something productive. Sometimes it's good to ask ourselves questions like the ones below for us to be aware if we should stop or not...


 * 1) Am I missing family or friend time by being on this social network?
 * 2) Is my family happy with the amount of time I am spending on this social network?
 * 3) Is what I am doing upsetting them?
 * 4) How much time have I been on this social network?
 * 5) Is the activity that I am doing important or useful?
 * 6) Is the social network making me happy? (if yes) How?
 * 7) Does the activity that I am doing require the amount of time I have been spending on it?
