Ethics and Religion in the Age of Social Media
Author: Kevin Healey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000733874
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Arguing that popular digital platforms promote misguided assumptions about ethics and technology, this book lays out a new perspective on the relation between technological capacities and human virtue. The authors criticize the “digital catechism” of technological idolatry arising from the insular, elite culture of Silicon Valley. In order to develop digital platforms that promote human freedom and socio-economic equality, they outline a set of five “proverbs” for living responsibly in the digital world: (1) information is not wisdom; (2) transparency is not authenticity; (3) convergence is not integrity; (4) processing is not judgment; and (5) storage is not memory. Each chapter ends with a simple exercise to help users break through the habitual modes of thinking that our favorite digital applications promote. Drawing from technical and policy experts, it offers corrective strategies to address the structural and ideological biases of current platform architectures, algorithms, user policies, and advertising models. This book will appeal to scholars and graduate and advanced undergraduate students investigating the intersections of media, religion, and ethics, as well as journalists and professionals in the digital and technological space.

The Hype Machine
Author: Sinan Aral
Publisher: Currency
ISBN: 0525574522
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
A landmark insider’s tour of how social media affects our decision-making and shapes our world in ways both useful and dangerous, with critical insights into the social media trends of the 2020 election and beyond “The book might be described as prophetic. . . . At least two of Aral’s three predictions have come to fruition.”—New York NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY WIRED • LONGLISTED FOR THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD Social media connected the world—and gave rise to fake news and increasing polarization. It is paramount, MIT professor Sinan Aral says, that we recognize the outsize effect social media has on us—on our politics, our economy, and even our personal health—in order to steer today’s social technology toward its great promise while avoiding the ways it can pull us apart. Drawing on decades of his own research and business experience, Aral goes under the hood of the most powerful social networks to tackle the critical question of just how much social media actually shapes our choices, for better or worse. He shows how the tech behind social media offers the same set of behavior influencing levers to everyone who hopes to change the way we think and act—from Russian hackers to brand marketers—which is why its consequences affect everything from elections to business, dating to health. Along the way, he covers a wide array of topics, including how network effects fuel Twitter’s and Facebook’s massive growth, the neuroscience of how social media affects our brains, the real consequences of fake news, the power of social ratings, and the impact of social media on our kids. In mapping out strategies for being more thoughtful consumers of social media, The Hype Machine offers the definitive guide to understanding and harnessing for good the technology that has redefined our world overnight.

Digital and Social Media Marketing
Author: Nripendra P. Rana
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030243745
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.

Friendship and Social Media
Author: Diane Jeske
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351809695
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
Friendship is regarded as crucial to living a good life. But how does friendship make our lives better? Do all friendships make our lives better? What sorts of interactions are necessary for maintaining valuable friendships? This book answers these questions via a philosophical exploration of friendship and the ways that it contributes value to our lives. Diane Jeske uses this philosophical analysis to assess the impact of our ever-growing use of social media: Do interactions via social media interfere with our ability to maintain genuine friendships? Do such interactions undermine the contribution of friendship to the value of our lives? In addressing these topics, Jeske examines the contemporary notion of a ‘frenemy,’ the ways in which we deliberately craft our social media personas, the role of the physical body in friendship, and the ways in which social media’s exacerbation of our fear of being left out and of comparison-based envy can impact our relationships. Written in a clear and engaging style, Friendship and Social Media brings philosophical rigor and clarity to the task of determining how we can responsibly use social media in our own lives. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the ethics of interpersonal relationships and the social impact of technology.

Responsible Consumption Through Social Media. An Empirical Study of Responsible Posting on Social Media and Its Impact
Author:
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3346920577
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Mainz, language: English, abstract: Social food enterprises seek to positively impact global social and environmental grievances within the food industry. In their marketing, they rely on cost-effective channels such as social media, which is equally popular with consumers as a source of information about sustainability and food. The thesis examines the share of social media posts addressing impact topics in social food enterprises’ total posts and which key characteristics these possess. Impact-posts' effect on concern for the environment/society and environmentally/socially responsible consumer intentions is tested. Both qualitative and quantitative content analysis were used to empirically identify the content characteristics of social media impact-posts from social food enterprises and their share in total posts. For this, a purpose-built category system was developed based on existing content analyses. Subsequently, a randomized between-subjects online experiment was used to assess the influence of impact-posts on the dependent variables. Results were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. Base for the content analysis was a sample of 454 Instagram posts of real-life social food enterprises including 121 impact-posts. The experimental study data were collected via an online survey with German-speaking participants (N = 234). Findings: The content analysis revealed that impact topics are addressed slightly less frequently than product topics by social food enterprises on Instagram. Within impact-posts, social and environmental topics are generally focused on separately and with similar frequency. Enablement, support, and philanthropy just as environmental concerns represent the most common themes. Moreover, photos depicting people and supplemented with text are primarily used with both text and imagery being kept neutral to positive. Only one third of the impact-posts simultaneously address a product of the brand. The experimental study revealed no statistically significant influence of the impact-post opposed to its non-impact counterpart on concern for the environment/society and environmentally/socially responsible consumer intentions.

Global Perspectives on Social Media Usage Within Governments
Author: Chavadi, Chandan
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668474514
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Social media applications have emerged in the last 20 years to meet the different needs of individuals, and private sector and public organizations have not been indifferent to these technologies. Social media tools help public institutions and organizations communicate directly with citizens as well as enable two-way communication and enable citizens to participate in all stages from agenda setting to evaluation of policy processes. Central and local governments, which use innovative methods to involve citizens in this process, attach significance to the development of e-participation tools. Ensuring the participation of citizens in policy processes not only determines the wishes and priorities of citizens but also uses scarce resources effectively and efficiently. Global Perspectives on Social Media Usage Within Governments reveals the best practices of various countries regarding the use of social media by central and local governments according to public administration models. The book presents various case studies on the impact of public administration models on social media use in order to contribute to public administration and social media use. Covering topics such as climate action, knowledge behaviors, and citizen participation, this premier reference source is an essential resource for government officials, public administrators, public policy scholars, social media experts, public affairs scholars, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
