Social media has become embedded in our everyday lives and has largely impacted our perceptions, understandings, and construction of meanings and general view of reality or the world. Social media has also changed relationships in a great way. It has both influenced people in positive and negative ways. It has allowed people to meet, keep in touch, and communicate wherever and whenever they want. It is important for one to explore the downfalls of social media, as it can be a platform for negative things to surface in ones life. People are constantly ruining their friendships and relationships because of things they may have said or things they may have done that they thought were hidden. Everything and anything can go viral these days. I personally chose to focus on social media in romantic relationships. More specifically, how social media can impact people’s insecurities and secrets. For instance, how watching a Snapchat video of your bf hanging out with another girl can cause the other relational partner to question the relationship.
I chose to make a video for my project, which specifically explored the problems with social media and how things can go from being supposedly a secret to getting them in trouble. In this specific scenario, the guy was caught being with another girl at a party because someone took a clip and put it on social media (Snapchat). Key concepts I cover are how culture values are being shaped by the advancement of technology, how the Internet age affects relationships, and the idea of false persuasion due to social media.
