SOCIAL MEDIA,
SOURCE CRITICISM!
However...
There are some positive aspects to fake news. It
can motivate people to be more source critical as
they have to tell the difference between what is
real and what is not.
We personally believe,
that it is possible to use social media
responsibly. We suggest you always double
check your sources, and always make sure
you aren't sharing misleading information.
EXPLORING
SOCIAL MEDIA’S IMPACT
WITH POLITICS
DOES SOCIAL
MEDIA AFFECT POLITICS?
Yes. In fact...
A communication medium like social media can be
highly influential in shaping political perspectives due
to the wealth of ideas, thoughts, and opinions that
constantly circulate within its ecosystem, making it
persuasive in altering or impacting individuals'
viewpoints.
HOW CAN WE PROMOTE DEMOCRACY
ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Social media is a big part of our lives today and it is an
important way to spread political thoughts and express
opinions and values. However citizens, especially teenagers,
should be aware of how politicians use them: do they use
social media to promote their activities or are they just a threat
to Democracy?
