Social Network & Activism

I knew that activists point out people who participate in social/political events. I found also that Advocacy refer to people who support those issues. In that the terms are used for political incidents through social networks, they are often used interchangeably according to the organization called Dosomething. Today’s social networks encourage PC users to engage themselves in sharing social/political opinions. People can see easily governments’ accounts, social associations’ pages, and political organizations’ profiles on the SNS. They can also check what they’re doing in real-time. Like said before blog about the SNS’ functions, they serve countless and easy buttons: to reply, to like, to share, and to comment, and so on.

SNS users can gather the strength via online; it’s easy to turn into political tendencies/biases. For example, in the last year, I could see lots of comments seem to be pros and cons when I researched 2014 obligation of Obamacare. Replies about the Affordable Care Act can be activism and advocacy depending on their contents. Therefore, in order to avoid becoming online-rallies, they have to take care of business whenever share the view.
