Q.6.1 What is digital socialisation? How can social media change communities and their practices and traditions

Digital socialization is socializing through your cellphone, internet or even through video calls on your laptop. This type of socialization has its own particular culture that forms its own language on the messaging by the communicators on the internet (chron, 2017). Social media can change communities by always updating news and stories from the lavish lifestyle that is from the urban areas which the traditional communities will be interested and would always want to update themselves of trying to know more than any other person. Some people in traditional communities will try to be more urbanized because of seeing the majority on the social media being urbanized which it will lead some people in the community ashamed at themselves and their practices of culture.

4. Digital Etiquette

 The digital etiquette is an appropriate behavior in the social media (Digital Citizenship Module Manual, 2016:84). The lack of behavior which causes problems to the cyber users is identity theft, cyberbullying, hacking and exposing other peoples’ privacy. These inappropriate behaviors are harassing the cyber users which is unfair because some cyber users won’t be comfortable enough to use their computers and some won’t even have a knowledge to operate it because of their disadvantage backgrounds. The inappropriate behaviours is mostly likely abusing your power (Digital Citizenship Module Manual, 2016:90) to someone else who is vulnerable with feelings and not doing some action in the social media.

These cyber users also be traumat...

3. Napalm-Girl

                                                                   Napalm Girl: I find this picture appropriate, because the child who runs nakedly is shown the world how violent and sad in the same time during the Vietnamese war. In Digital world, a message through words and especially pictures are important so that peoples’ emotions and feelings can react what picture is trying to say. Media fluency in digital world which comes with a message that is all about the content and the outcome (Digital Citizenship, 2016:71). The two elements need each other because you may know the outcome so well but the content is needed as a background (Digital Citizenship, 2016:71). This picture of a Napalm girl is a desperate message that really needs the world’s attention so that they can have a sympathy and a participation to as...
