The reason I chose the effects of social media as my top inquiry is because of the fact that it is something that has always held my interest and is something that I would love to advocate for. I just recently watched the documentary “The Social Dilemma” and it really caught my attention and made me realize this is something I want to further research and inform others about.
For this project I would like to create a website that splits up the different aspects and factors of the actual platforms that causes us to change the way we think and act, and then create other subpages talking about how to help prevent them. I think I would also like to create some sort of informational essay or video that viewers could look at that talks about “The Social Dilemma”, because I feel that the documentary gives an accurate representation and description of what's going on within the platforms.
As with most of my other topics I think that mindful learner and effective communicator fall under the subject of social media. They would be found throughout the website just like my others, showing respect and responsibility to the fact that social media affects certain people differently and by creating informative and concise ways of communicating my information.
In order to complete this project I don’t plan on interviewing anyone specifically, but I would like to try and find documentaries or previously recorded interviews similar to “The Social Dilemma” in order to try and obtain more information similar to what I was able to find in the documentary.
When creating deadlines for this project, I plan to try and focus on a different social media platform for about two weeks each, and then hopefully a documentary or interview for about a week to allow myself to be able to best present the information I find. If I feel that two weeks is becoming a lot of extra time which I think there's a possibility for, I plan to cut down that allotted time to just one week, similar to documentaries and interviews.
Finally the way I think I would like to share my project is through social media. I believe that most people our age use social media almost everyday and if they are going to find information on new things and what to look at, it is going to be on a platform such as Instagram. For showing my website updates I was thinking of having a section on my homepage that says something like “website last update on _______” so whoever is viewing can know if there is going to be more information since they last looked at my website or not.
