Social Media for Social change

How do you see YOUR use of social media tools supporting concrete social change




In my opinion,social media has urgent role to solve some social problems like family values,discrimination, narcotism and etc . There might be the role of aids of comments of people to solve thus problems with creating diverse facebook and twitter groups and attracting people.There may be the role of not only government ,but also each individual Consequently ,it is so urgent for coming generations with creating self-confidence in everyone. it means social media follows our each step..........

my 90 seconds elevator pitch

ACME Persuasion

THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS ABOUT “PEPSI”. THIS VIDEO INFLUENCES MY 1st -RAPTILIAN BRAIN. SYNTHESIS OF FOOTBALL AND MUSIC IMPRESSES ME WELL. AND THEN IT APPEALS MY NEORCORTEX BRAIN. IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT A GOOD FOOTBALL. IN MY OPINION FIVE PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES ARE: SYMBOL, BEATIFUL PEOPLE, DIVERSION, TESTIMONIAL AND WARM FUZZIES

1) SYMBOL- IN THERE “PEPSI” IS THE SYMBOL. “PEPSI” IS A VERY FAMOUS DRINK IN THE WORLD.

2) BEATIFUL PEOPLE- DAVID BECKHAM IS A GOOD-LOOKING INDIVIDUAL IN THIS ADVERTISEMENT. AFTER THIS ADVERTISEMENT “PEPSI” WAS SOLD MORE DRINK THAN BEFORE.

3) DIVERSION-WITH THE HELP OF THE FOOTBALL THEY DO IT.I THINK THAT THIS IS VERY PERSUASION

4) TESTIMONIAL- DAVID BECKHAM IS A FOOTBALLER WHO PLAY IN THIS VIDEO.

5) WARM FUZZIES- THESE FOOTBALLERS MOTIONS IN ONE HAND IS VERY CONVINCING AND IN OTHER HAND IS VERY GREAT.

OUR BRAINS ON MEDIA

1) This film is about the people growing only by the appearance .It is an ideal film for remembering the adventures of the childhood and like again. While watching the film I both laugh and think. I think that the little people like Despero (he is hero of that film) can do great work .This film influences both my reptilian and neorcortex brain.




2) The film is about the man who is 80. As the time passes he gets younger. This amusiny film impresses my 3-rd brain. After watching this film a man believes to every magic in the world. I have changed my future plans after this film.

My personal media inventory

1) Reading books is not my hobby but I can take pleasure when I read books. The book transport me into new worlds and introduce me to wonderfull people who lived exciting lives. A book with an interesting design and coloured illustrations can attract me. Original adventure novels are my invariable. I like Charles Dickens "Great Expectations". I had read this book.It was full of adventures,very long and interesting for me.Nizami's "Xamsa" is my favourite from the Azerbaijan literature.

2)I can say that music is my life. It can calm down my nerves. Specially Azerbaijan folk music.It has pleasent and fascinating melody. "Sari Gelin","Reyhan"."Shushanin daghlari" and etc. are famous folk musics in Azerbaijan.Then I like rap and rock music.Because they are able to say everythink that they want and continues to grow,change every day. My favourites are Tokio Hotel and 50 cent. I hope that no matter what happens in music they will always be performed and listened to.In my mp3 they always playing.

3)I like to watch TV for a long time. When I open it I can get a lot of interesting informations. I listen to the news and I know that what happens everyday in my country. I like music channels on TV.Specially MTV. "True life", "My super sweet 16" are the programmes of this TV channel.In spite of I'm 15,I enjoy watching cartoons.Jetix stand first for me.

4)Newspapers and magazines are some of the contact methods. I can make inquires from them. They give us a lot of informations about our ideals or events. "Bravo","Yes^Stars" are my weekly magazines.From these magazines I can take possessions of my favourite's posters. I've got magazine collections in my bookcase. But I don't like to read newspaper because they are tedious. In newspapers crosswords attract me.I like to solve it

5)I am remarkable for liking video games from other girls. Because some of them don't like it. I spend my 1 hour to this games. When i play "Need for speed", "call of duty" , "Zumo" , "Formula1" ,"Road Rider" and etc. I think that I have a rest. But i don't like the games which about the air, the plain or other things.Because in these games. It is difficult to go forward and it's very slowly.

6)Computer changed the way i live and study.My life become easier than before.When i want to get something i must look for a long time.But this isn't difficult with the help of the computer.It's early days for computers and also for me. I don't know how much computers are changing us.But i know that i'll improve my computer knowledges.I play games , listen to music , save my documents and so on.

7)With the help of the internet a can do my homeworks.Because some times i need information but i can't get it google, other internet sites help me.I make friends from the acquaintance sites. They help me to improve my English.I download music , videos , pictures of me ideals.Because in my city it's very difficult to find these things :))
