Social MediaWeek 3

Social Media is designed from human needs and social interactions using many sources mainly through the Internet and

the World-Wide Web. It can also be sent as representations through newspapers, televisions, word of mouth, prints and

public speaking. All of these techniques feed Social Media and it's influence across the globe.

Social Media as a global system has been increasingly growing since 2006 due to increases in networking,

socialising, blogging, instant messaging and other forms of communications electronically.

Types of Media Industrial Media (Mass Media)

There is too much to manage for one Master Identity to control, causing a collapse in communication.. especially in banking sectors. Too much demand for money can cause the links to shatter causing poor co-ordination to parts of the company meaning these stations to dissolve (loss of jobs or loss of customer support/interests).

Centralized

DisadvantagesDecentralized

Too much communication and command is being spread from one

station to another, one station may

have ideas to others which may

cause disputes between others.

No actual ‘master identity’ exists.. So

power struggles may begin. One

person may want to take over completely.

Example: Civil Wars, Disputes,

Conflict.

Week 6

Rhetoric • Metaphors - As You Like It

“Trains us to speak and/or write effectively. Over its many centuries, the curriculum has been transformed in a number of ways, but, in general, it has emphasized the study of principles and rules of composition as a means for moving audiences.”

Dare the reader to disagree.Try to make opinions sound like facts. Use powerful verbs and strong

adjectives.

• Similes - He drinks copiously like a fish. ...?

• Alliteration - Dusk demands daylight

Biography

Hello, my name is Lee Stephen Cunnington. I was born in Plymouth, Devon, United Kingdom. Currently living in Ivybridge, Devon. (Lived there all my life).

Studied at Stowford Primary School, Ivybridge Community College and currently studying Multimedia, Production and Technology at The University of Plymouth. I used to study Computer and Information Security in 2008/09 but decided to change course during 2009.My interests include, computing, website designing, gaming, designing and animation, networking/social. Sports such as fitness training, weight-lifting; swimming and cycling. I enjoy days out to the beach, driving my Ford Fiesta Flight with 33,000 miles on the clock and of course – Movies and Cinema. Other interests include playing musical instruments such as the Bass Guitar and the Keyboard/Piano. I enjoy studying History (The war years) and Geography (Mapping).

ManifestoThis is what I believe in: Democracy.

“Democracy is carried out by the people for the people; it includes having equality, understanding, free opinion and political expression but most of all. Freedom. This is what I like about Democracy because it doesn’t control us in a way that makes us all brainwashed fools like Communism does to its people. It introduces us to the system of Capitalism, gives our people whatever it needs, helps them start new business, helps us trade through money to build a stronger economy. Democracy brings security to our nations with strong police enforcement, intelligence and counter-terrorism systems which do their best to protect the people. The system does its best to help the working people with free health care, trade unions and public liability cover. Education is top of the list, the Democratic system encourages that every child (male and female) have compulsory education until they are 16 years of age to help them build skills in English, Maths and Sciences; they are also allowed to choose subjects of their interests such as History and Foreign Languages. Democracy also encourages the rise in technology and helps through political power to improve technological advances such improved health care (machines, chemicals and drugs), improved agriculture, industry and through consumer goods. No other political system is capable of what Democracy can do; this is what makes it completely superior to others.” – Lee Cunnington
