Using Social Media to Get Connected


This day in age it is rare to find someone that has not experienced social media.  The most common is Facebook and I personally maintain relationships from the past as far back as high school. It is an outlet to converse and share stories with others.  Social media can also effect relationships in a negative way.  Society see beauty as the media portrays beauty making it difficult for women to truly understand that they are an individual and beautiful in their own unique way.  Leading to the main cause of eating disorders. 

Media can provide an organization the outlet to share their vision and offer a resource to others that support their cause.  Posting pictures and stories provide the most common way for advocacy organizations to make others aware.  Offering information that may not be common knowledge can educated the public to the experiences children may deal with on a daily basis. Bringing awareness to a cause that otherwise would be overlooked makes the media a very resourceful option.
