The article is giving criticism in principle about the social media disseminator’s ideas that social media such as facebook and tweeter will bring enormous changes on social activities and movements. His article provides us with amount of food for thought about what is behaviorism and social movement in the age of social media and what is relations between social media and social movements. Of course, there would be a sharp division of opinions between those who approve and disapprove. He argues that it is impossible to reform the society radically by social media such as tweeter and facebook based on weak ties. And he pointed out the limit of ordinary unimportance of weak ties. It means, in spite of extensivity and quantitative expansion of weak ties, it does not have materiality of solidarity showing in the 1960s’ a civil rights movement. And he’s opinion is that the connection of information is different with the solidarity of people.

Why this happens remains unclear. Drawing from Positive Psychology and Self-Determination Theory, the present study investigated the effect of Facebook use on self-esteem as mediated by relatedness. Employing a cross-sectional non-experimental design, the mediation hypothesis was tested among 467 college students who agreed to answer the questionnaires. From the results of multiple hierarchical regressions, it was found out that Facebook use did not have a direct effect on self-esteem, but exerted a positive direct effect on relatedness. Likewise, related was positively associated with self-esteem. The mediation effect of relatedness was examined using Sobel test,...

...happened to face-to-face visits, dates, and just sitting down and talking with someone to sincerely get to know them? Why has the world settled for a simple Facebook message, or email? Mark Zuckerburg created a social network that connected the world; a social network so large that if its users were a country, it would be the third largest in the world. Facebook’s mission statement is "to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected” (Facebook). Facebook is useful for certain types of communication and connectivity, but it has also contributed to an underlying epidemic that may, if used excessively, redefine interpersonal relationships forever. These relationships will be redefined, ironically, by further disconnecting people even though Facebook facilitates easy communication and more access to connections. Facebook has revolutionized what it means to communicate with someone and what it means to be connected, and whether or not these changes have been beneficial or detrimental to relationships has been a hot topic among many scholars. Some scholars say that Facebook is beneficial for relationships. They claim that Facebook has made it easier to stay in contact with others, easier to express oneself to people online, that it enlarges their social circle, and they say that it makes it easier to connect and communicate with people that have meaning in their life. This is a valid argument because Facebook has opened up new forms of communication and connectivity...

When face-to-face discussions are impossible or inconvenient, humans have dreamed up plenty of creative solutions. The history of social media is the roots of social media stretch far deeper than you might imagine. Although it seems like a new trend, sites like Facebook are natural outcome of many centuries of social media development. The earliest methods of communicating across great distances used written correspondence delivered by hand from one person to another it is also called letters. The earliest form of postal service dates back to 550 B.C., and this primitive delivery system would become more widespread and streamlined in future centuries. In 1792, the telegraph was invented. This allowed messages to be delivered over a long distance far faster than a horse and rider could carry them. Although telegraph messages were short, they were a revolutionary way to convey news and information. Although no longer popular outside of drive-through banking, the pneumatic post, developed in 1865, created another way for letters to be delivered quickly between recipients. A pneumatic post utilizer’s underground pressurized air tubes to carry capsules from one area to another. Two important discoveries happened in the last decade of the...

...overall perception, before continuing to discuss challenges related to the topic. Perception of fit within sponsorship Olson (2010, p. 180) defines sponsorship as “(…) a sponsor providing cash/and or other compensations in exchange for access to an object’s commercial potential”. Jagre et al. (2001) also highlights that sponsorship is about marketing associations related to the sponsor-sponsee relationship, as the aim is to create awareness and positive attitudes amongst the public (Tench and Yeomans, 2009). Table 1: Graphic illustration of the basic process of sponsorship (Source: Sanghak, 2010). Associations tied to sponsorship come down to the match between a sponsor and the sponsored event (Jagre et al. (2001). This connection can either be obvious or less obvious, and the degree of how logical this link is, is referred to as fit (Gwinner et al., 2009). This perception is important because it can influence and predict a number of sponsorship outcomes, and researchers (Cornwell et al. 2006, Olson and Thjømøe 2011, Olson 2010, Weeks et al. 2008, Becker-Olsen and Simmons 2002) highlight a number of favourable outcomes such as positive attitude towards the brand and ease of recognition. According to Weeks et al. (2008), this is...

...Software for Human Services Organizations Donna Good BSHS/375 September 30, 2013 Kari Siemieniewski Pierre, MSW, LCSW Software for Human Services Organizations Thanks to technology, the human service field could become more efficient. Electronic filing of client or patient information puts the information at the fingertips of all involved in the care of each individual. Before computers, client or patient files were hard paper copies that only one person could have access to at a time within one office unless a copy of this file was made for each professional involved in his or her case. Technology changed this by someone creating software, which stores all information on the client or patient. The case manager can have access to these files in his or her office at the same time a therapist is counseling the client. The software can be used to track client or patient services. As with all things in life there are benefits and disadvantages. The size of the organization can have a deciding factor on which software the organization will use for the filing of client or patient information. The following will discuss two types of software created for this purpose and explain how it is used, the benefits to centralize electronic client records and human service resources, advantages, and disadvantages of each software, and how the size of the organization determines which software it will use. These two software names are ClientTrack and TeleTrack. I. ClientTrack ...
