Facebook has become the most popular social media network online, for business, social or personal use. Based on the short article below, share your own Facebook experience and analyze your own “Facebook behaviour”.



How does FB helps or distract you from what you want to do and achieve? How about your social life? Are you more active/expressive on social media, or in physical meetings with friends and family? Are you an active user (constantly posting status updates, links etc.), or an ‘observer’ user (mostly only browsing others’ news than posting your own)? Share some thoughts on the article’s findings.  

  My personal Facebook experience, it started back when I was 11 years old, where the facebook era had just begun. I remembered Facebook had become a hit, all my friends were talking about it with excitement. After that, I also registered a facebook to keep up with the new era.

       FB doesn’t really distract me from doing what I want to achieve as I am not really addicted to it so much. I don’t use facebook as my main social media instead I rely more on Instagram and whatsapp. So my social life depend on other social media than facebook. However, it still helps me to find new friends and one thing I would enjoy about it is people shares varieties of weird videos and also some ridiculous news/stories. As I enjoy to read and explore to what people typically post, so I don’t mind whether the information or stories are true or not and of course I do know how to judge myself.

I am not very active in social media, I still prefer keeping in physical meetings with friends and family, because it’s based on feelings to interact with each other not based on technology like a robot.
In addition, I am not a very active user, I seldom log into facebook unless I feel like I want to enjoy some readings and videos. Well, an ‘observer’ can be described as me, because I typically only browse other’s user’s news and video rather than posting my own status. I usually only shares out some pictures regarding to my travelling and my university’s life. However, I don’t even mind about getting people’s attention due to my post, I just hope to share out my joy and happiness.

      In my opinion, although I don’t use facebook much, I tend to found out that facebook gives benefits for online business, promotions, sharing, caring, awareness etc. For example: my mother always tend to share some important and useful information and tips to me so that I can be aware of; I got the idea of my father’s business are promoted through facebook, sometimes our school’s clubs and events can be shared through facebook to promote and invite everyone, etc.

“Films can teach, they can explain and they can move people to great depths. Having done all these things, is it possible for films to move people to action? There is no question for most social scientists that carefully constructed communications, films for instance, can produce changes in attitudes, in those who adequately receive the communication. The use of adequately is of course a conscious one in that we know that people tend to misperceive that which they hear and see, and go through fairly complicated strategies of selective attention and selective perception.” [Challenge for Change programme, National Film Board of Canada (NFB)]       Question: Based on the statement above, share your thoughts on the issue, of how community video can make changes in people, and the community that they belonged to. You can give some examples to explain. I believe that media can make changes to people, and the community they belonged to. Media is very powerful, as it can destroy a

One of the scene in ‘ The Truman Show’ that captivates me is the last scene before he went out from the dorm. Truman always hoped to go to Fiji Island and even though the show director Christof tried to stop him with the horrible storm and rain during his sailing to Fiji, he never once gave up. He even tried to overcome the fear of sea and of his childhood memories. Eventually, he came to the end of the dorm, he thought that that was the end as he tried to push past the big dorm. After that he saw a door where exit was and decided to get out, that was the most touching part as he decided that he did not want to be controlled by anyone again, he wanted be a free man. The role
