DU: 13 November, 2018

Number of words: 260

In the social media there are a lot of issues that been sprayed, and people talk about but the old medai like TV, newspaper and radio,  they don’t show it to their audience for many reasons, I will focus on issues in Oman,  witch is the Internet .

The Internet problem in Oman is a very old problem. It started when Omantel  control on the Internet market in Oman, becouse it’s government company,  so they put the praises as they want, without considering the economic situation of the citizen,  and gave them very bad services,  the people in social media start campaign against them,  they did Hashtags, videos and photos, to tell the people the our right in the Internet is been taken frome us because the actions of Omantel, the people want other internet companies so they get better services,  and the Omantel internet market start to raise by the competitiveness the will happened if there are a lot of internet companies, the campaign gate bigger every day, the people in social media decade to stop using the Omantel services for one day,  and they did it, and the company start to observe this issue by  seduos the people by gave them better services to stop this campaign, as resolute the government. 

And the big question is why the old medai don’t spot a light on this big issue?,  the answer is very simple,  becouse Omantel is run by the government so if they said  that services that been  gave to the people is not good or vary expensive,  the blame will be on the government for lit Omantel control the internet market and give bad services to the citizens.

DUE: 4 November, 2018

This study aim to answer the question of what are the substantial contact-related differences among different social media that create different effect on political knowledge.

It take four social media platforms, Blogs, Twitter, Facebook and Youtube, and study them on the light of political information richness, diversity, credibility. And the study expect that the richness is high on Blogs and Twitter, medium on Youtube, and low on Facebook. the diversity is high on all platforms except Facebook is low. The credibility is medium on all the platforms except Youtube is low.

The social media gave you the chance to have political knowledge online and it is better than the offline, the reason for that is, it could produce a strong degree of collaboration, and experienced great cognitive and explanatory learning.

Using a data analysis method to measure the effects of four types of social media on political knowledge on six blocks which are political antecedents, conventional media, political reasoning, social media use, and the interaction terms of social media use for news and political reasoning.

As result Males and well- educated people were more knowledgeable than females and the less educated. Different ratios were from different sources, Political interest, and internal political efficacy,conventional media, news aggregators, and news sites. Also All three modes of political reasoning had a posi- tive and significant relationship with political issue knowledge: offline political talk, online political talk, and news reflection. Twitter were found to be significantly related to political issue knowledge. Older adults, males and well-educated people were more knowledgeable about political personalities knowledge than young, female and less-educated adults.

The use of social media had a significant association with political process knowledge. the results show that the use of blogs and Twitter predicted political issue knowledge with political personalities and process knowledge while Facebook and YouTube failed to do it.

The study conceptually classified social media in too four discrete types and examined how each type of social media predicts political knowledge. Results shows that The impact of the use of social media for political knowledge is influenced by the characteristics of each type of social media. Also this study assure on importance of the informational function of social media. Using three dimensions ((information richness, diversity, and credibility) in the four types of social media and show that Blogs and Twitter are better than Facebook and YouTube in terms of information richness. Regarding information diversity, Facebook ranks the lowest out of the four types of social media. YouTube ranks the lowest in terms of information credibility. In addition certain social media can be more beneficial for citizens to learn politics,this study clearly shows that the informational functionality of social media is important in the process of political knowledge acquisition.

The study took three dimensions of political knowledge (political issue, political personalities, and political process knowledge) which it finds that the most dominant social media – blogs comes first then Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube- make marginal contribution to accumulating knowledge of political personalities and processes.

We learned from this study that political talk via the Internet and social media are more useful for increasing knowledge

Of political discourse unrelated to the Internet. As it facilitates unrestricted participation and discussion.

Populism versus expertise on social media

Name: Majid Hamed Al-Abri

ID: U112193

DUE: 30 October, 2018

Number of words: 251

 In my topic I will spot the light on the reason why some influencers have large number of followers, and they don’t have educational background or knowledge on some topics they present, in the other hand the educational people or the person who have knowledge their followers are less, than I will talk if this populism threat the knowledge.

  In the social media the more your topic goes throw entertainment the more followers you will gate, for example the gaming community or the fashion, they have the must populism than the knowledge or science, because people love the fun and the entertainment, the must subscribed person in the Youtube  is PewDiePie, and he is a gamer o the content is entertainment.

 The fans some of them believe in the influencers they watch, so when he speak about science topic and he don’t have the educational or the knowledge that needed for the topic, he will miss guide the people, and it happened, when some influencers talks about the earth is not spherical but it is flat, some people start to believe, but the science said that the earth is spherical.

 But the populism is not a threat if the person can combine between fame and knowledge, for example Steve Harvey, he has lots of followers on the social media, and he combine between the entertainment and knowledge, where he presented a show with sarcastic way and knowledge ideas, so the people start to love him.

The kids and teenagers is the audience for him, so he gave them what they wont, from great reactions when he play video games to jokes on other videos like " you laugh you lose", witch is a series of videos on his Channel, every singel video get over 10 million views. Also he try to make the adults as his audience so he gave the news series, where he gathered a news frome around the world and presented it an sarcastic way, so you will laugh and also learn.

As we see frome the content he present the development, he did not stop on one content but he have lot of variety, the flexibility to change and continuity, he upload a video every day, and each video is different than the other.

So form this analysis about the influencer Pewdiepie, I see that he deserve this much of audience and even more because he understand what the fans want.

SOCIAL MEDIA SPHERE IN THE GCC: 'PEOPLE WILLINGLY PROVIDING FREE PERSONAL INFORMATION  & INSTITUTIONS BENEFITTING FROM THESE INFORMATION   (FREELY AVAILABLE).

Name: Majid Hamed Al-Abri

ID: 112193

Number of words: 259

Due: 16 October 2018

Lets discuss this topic in different point of view, the first one is the view of the peoples, country's and companies and my view of this topic.

The first view is the peoples, we gave our information not to be agent us but to be contacted with the world, this huge world that provid us with social network, a free envairment we can share our personal life but that does not mean the gavremant take our information without our permotion, where is the human rights?!. For examle whene the american gavremant want to do investigation in case they contacted witch Apple to gave them an information about the person, because he use iphone, Apple said no. So the government should stop take our information whitout our permotion.

Now the gavremant and companies view, we look at this subject in prospective of security, some cases can be solved by the information that the person gave in social meadi, also some information can not be shared publicly ,because the effectiveness will be huge and in wrong way. as the company we see that the information is our resources to understand the customer more, ther activity and what they like and don't like, in light of all that we manga our marketing strategy.

My view frome the topic is tha information must not be use as benefit for them self, and in taking about the government not the companies, they must take the permotion frame the person, it's our free world that we

create, so we need some freedom.

The use of social media as social support

Name: Majid Hamed Al-Abri

ID: U112193

Due: 9 October, 2018

Number of words: 246

The social medai can be used as social support an many areas such as the donations , and the great example of that is The Ice Bucket Challenge.

The Ice Bucket Challenge is a campaign to promote awareness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) — also known as Lou Gehrig's disease — and encourage donations for research. A person is filmed as a bucket of water and ice is dumped over the individual's head. The individual then nominates a minimum of three people to do the same thing, having only a 24-hour time frame to complete the challenge and make a donation to the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association.

It went viral in July and August 2014, using social media as a platform to reach a worldwide audience. More than 17 million people posted videos online, including Bill Gates and former president George W. Bush. Over a two-year period, the money raised through the challenge helped fund research and development of treatment drugs.

The origin of the campaign has been attributed to Pete Frates, a Boston College alumnus who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2012. by posting a video of him self doing the challenge than it become vierl.

Also this campaign raised over than $115 million dollars for the ALS association.

All of this numbers proved that the social media is not about texting and sharing but their is a huge social support come, if the person make it viral by the smarts way possible.

And the name that will prompt this kind of social support is very important, the bigger the name is the more viral it will become.

The network creat a new different world,

where the people meet and talks frome large destins using the social network, but thats that's effect on people, because their is lots of ideas and personality can creat an new prospective of our self and the world, but the question is, what is our identity in the global network specialy the Youngs.

The youngs use either a fake or real identity in the network, it become real or fake by the purpose of the person, some Youngs make fake accounts to attack someone so the people don't know them, and that what we see in social media, images of a famous person but not them to keep them self form harm, that is creat an identity in the person make him a weak and negative, also the ideas that he get frome the people can effect on him weather he use a real or fake identity, because they get contact with different people, the good and the bad, so there ideologies is mix frome their home and the network that they get contact with.

And if I talk about my identity in the global network, it will be the same as the real world, I use the same ideas with more freedom to talk, and the profiles of my accounts has my face image so the people know me. Sense I start using the social medai my idea of my self and the world change, because in the past I had les people to talk to but now I have over than thiusen of people I can discuss and share my ideas, that gave me a new identity mix by my home culture and the world.

Misleading ADS with guaranteed results or clinical studies

ID: U112193

DUE: 25, September 2018

The media is run the hall world by scientific system, it can effect the maind and the emotions . the Misleading ADS with guaranteed results or clinical studies is a great example of media system , and i will take two examples of companies :

1) Head&shoulders : the famous shampoo company that there advertisement Shawn in every country of the world, in the ads they you will see famous person, because the effective of the famous person like actor or singer will be bigger, and the scenario is great that shows you his or her hear before the shampoo and after using it; so they misleading the person to buy the company prodict. That shampoo probably doesn't gate that fast effect or it doesn’t work at all.

2) Pepsi : the same as the company before, famous person make the people follow what that he do, because the fans love to live the life of there heroes. if he drink that product they will do just like him or drees, so its so effective way get the customers, and the scenario is lovely where the people drink pipes small and have fun but they will never show you the negatives. For example, Pepsi can make your bones weaker and the high amount of sugar it have can effect the your health .

So the media is misleading the people to there benefit, and make you believe what the they wont, by numbers of studies and great content, but the full image is come by inlays the content of the media.
