Command Terms

Discuss the role that social media played in the Christchurch shooting. (12 marks)

1) Introduce the topic with relevant background (2 marks)

2) One claim/perspective with examples (4 marks)

3) Another claim/perspective with examples (4 marks)

4) Conclusion that answers the prompt based on the evidence you’ve presented (2 marks)

Intro:

In March 15 2019, one of the dealiest shooting in New Zealand has happened, killing fifty people on two mosques in Christchurch. The gunman was revealed to be Brenton, age 28 (by that timeline), who posted the manifesto and the shooting footage on his social media. The next paragraphs will be discussing about to what extent does social media participate in the Christchurch shooting.

Claim 1:

To begin with, social media platforms have contributed a lot to the spread of inappropriate expressions on the internet. There were no restrictions or punishments to parties who shared the shooting footage on the internet. Which has resulted in dirty content being out of control and appearing all over the internet. Even platform runners weren't able to take down the video as it kept getting replaced by other users. Weak internet censorship has made the issue more complicating and harder to solve.

Claim 2: 

Nowadays, fake news are appearing more frequently on the internet, making users more alert about the input information. That is one of the reason why many users didn't take the shooter's manifesto seriously or even joked about it. However, if information on digital platforms were more authentic and users were able to identify the truth, then the incident could have been prevented at an earlier stage.

conclusion:

In conclusion, more advanced algorithms in techonology should be added to extract dirty content on the internet to maintain a safe digital environment , and to avoid such sad scenarios like the Christchurch shooting event.

Discuss how teens usage of social media impacts expression, inlcude relevant reall world examples where appropriate

• some teens are too young to be responsible or cautious of their saying => hurt someone's feelings, cyber bullying in some cases

• some teens crave a lot more validation from others => lose their own values, do stupid things for likes, post private parts of their body

Teenagers thesesdays are often seem to be phone addicted as they spend most of their day surfing social media platforms, texting their friends, or updating their life on the digital world. Hence, there are a few impacts when teens use social media to express themselves.

Firstly, teenagers are too young and lack experience so sometimes their choice of words isn't considered to be clever and polite. Moreover, some of them might take advantage of the freedom on the internet to say whatever they like and however they want to other users. This can actually hurt someone's feelings that they don't know or in some cases will lead to cyber-bullying. For example, the majority of an anti BlackPink page on Facebook are mostly teenagers, they spam comments with inappropriate language or even spread false information about the group members on the internet.

Secondly, teenagers tend to have very high self-esteem which makes them constantly crave for validation. This factor can result in many consequences like posting stupid content for likes, frequently updating their life unnecessary,.. just for attention but very few of them are aware of the potential risks that might affect them in the future. For example, some teenage girls even post their private part on social media to proof that they're just as  mature as grown adults. However, they might not know if their friends or even strangers have downloaded the picture and use it against them one day.

In conclusion, teenagers can possibly affect themselves and other users on social media platforms if not being careful when expressing anything on the internet.

structure

• brief 'scene setting' introductory paragraph

• all the evidence you can gather to support the claim

• all the evidence you can gather to oppose the claim

• give the informed opinion on the validity of the claim based on your previous two paragraphs

do you agree and disagree with the claim and why?

To what extent is it the responsibility of the individuals within these communities to address the issue of false information being spread on social media? use at least 1 relevant real world example to support your response.

The responsibility to address the issue of spreading false information is said to be the individuals within the communities. However, it might only be true to a certain degree and some of the responsibility relies on other parties

First of all, it's the individuals responsibility because they are the ones who directly participated in spreading false information on the internet. Each 'share' or 'like' would contribute to the rise of fake news. Although not all information on the internet is true, not all people realize that to double-check the information before taking it in. Hence, if they weren't spreading the fake news, they could also have done better to prevent this issue from happening by reporting the false information account to maintain a healthy digital environment. Therefore, the ignorance of the users have directly/indirectly caused the issue.

Second of all, the platform should also be responsible for the spread of false information, not only the individuals within the communities themselves. The issue is known to occur in their platform, so it's totally not right to say that they couldn't do anything to prevent this to happen, since they have the most power in managing posts and contents. If the platform had worked harder, people or individuals would have not been manipulated and they wouldn't spread the information too blindly. in other words, the lack of monitoring from the platform can and influence individuals and contribute to the spread of false information.

real life example:  back when the covid 19 first occured in Vietnam, the whole community was panicking due to the lack of information of the disease. In addition to that, there were people on the internet constantly spreading fake news about the amount of affected or death cases which has contributed and made the situation even harder to handle from a government perspective. This spread of false information in society has lead people to the decision of storing exessive food amount and sanitary products and caused the price to go up tremendously.

I strongly believe that the issue of false information being spread on the internet isn't fully the individuals' responsibility since they're sometimes lost and doesn't know the right thing when the platform and authority don't take actions to monitor wrong online behaviors like that.
