...YouTube can be a great source of information for kids, but sometimes it can be bad for children. YouTube can be bad in many ways. YouTube has had many incidents where they should have taken action, but instead did nothing, which made the situations even worse. For example, in February of this year YouTube’s algorithms boosted conspiracy theory videos accusing the victims of the Parkland, Florida shooting as crisis actors. A crisis actor is someone who pretends to be injured during a stressful situation to make others think a crisis has occurred. The main purpose for a crisis actor is for emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to practice their skills during a crisis. In the conspiracy theory videos on YouTube they accuse victim, David Hogg, who is one of the main activist for more gun control laws, of being a crisis actor during the shooting. David counteracted these claims saying, “I’m not a crisis actor. I’m somebody who had to witness this and live...

The significant research question is how much of a phenomenon YouTube truly is in the classroom. This particularly study is very pertinent due to the fact of the relevance YouTube has in the classrooms across America. The method of using the students brought it all into full focus because women and men naturally learn differently. The visual stimulation is more apparent in men than women and usage of YouTube aptly displays it. The blended learning theory forces us all see the special importance of YouTube. Garrison and Kanuka (2004) define blended learning as, “thoughtful integration of classroom face-to-face learning experience with online experiences. It is the true blending of technology in the rarest form. Some students learn better during the process such as blending learning. The method of using the female and male students from an urban gave the study the depth it sorely needed. The professor dealing with them face-to-face made the study very interesting due to the rate of...

...Google and YouTube HRM 587 (Managing Organizational Change) Google and YouTube The two companies we have decided to research and discuss are Google and YouTube. We would like to look into the recent merger they had and what caused these two companies to come to this decision. YouTube is a website that enables users to upload videos of places they have been, things they have done, tutorials and etc. YouTube has greatly grown since 2005 and now has millions of videos uploaded each day of various things. Google is a popular search engine that is commonly used to access information from websites all over the world. Before YouTube was bought out by Google it was suffering from financial struggles. The company was a victim of its own success as consumer demands for their service would allow people to upload videos to YouTube which continued to add capacity (Kafka, 2010). Consequently, the company could not turn a profit. In fact, consumer demand for YouTube remains strong today as there are hundreds of hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute and there are now hundreds of YouTube channels that can be subscribed to (YouTube Company Information, n.d.). Google, on the other hand, was in good financial shape pre-merger (Google Investor Relations, n.d.). It had plenty of money to purchase promising companies, especially ones that would expand Google’s advertising capabilities and revenues. The bottom line is that both YouTube and Google appeared to be a perfect...

...com/1352-2752.htm YouTube: an opportunity for consumer narrative analysis? Stefano Pace ` Universita Bocconi, Milano, Italy Abstract Purpose – The aim of the paper is to discuss a possible extension of narrative analysis to a new medium of expression of consumer behaviour, specifically YouTube. Design/methodology/approach – Marketing and consumer behaviour studies often apply narrative analysis to understand consumption. The consumer is a source of introspective narratives that are studied by scholars. However, consumption has a narrative nature in itself and consumers are also storytellers. YouTube is a new context in which subjects tell stories to an audience through self-made videos and re-edited TV programs. After defining the pros and cons of different approaches to the study of YouTube, narrative analysis is presented as a possible means of understanding YouTube. Findings – Some preliminary evidence is presented by discussing several YouTube videos. These indicate that YouTube content can be better understood as stories, rather than example of other approaches, such as visual analysis, media studies, videography, and others. Research limitations/implications – From the analysis conducted, preliminary managerial implications can be drawn. It seems unlikely that normal TV broadcasters will be substituted by YouTube videos. For the most part, YouTube content draws its sense and shared meaning from the major TV shows and series. The discursive nature of YouTube is also an indication...

...The YouTube Effect How a technology for teenagers became a force for political and economic change. BY MOISÉS NAÍM | DECEMBER 27, 2006 A video shows a single line of people slowly trudging up a snow-covered footpath. A shot is heard; the first person in line falls. A voice-over says, "They are shooting them like dogs." Another shot, and another body drops to the ground. A uniformed Chinese soldier fires his rifle again. Then, a group of soldiers examines the fallen bodies. These images were captured high in the Himalayas by a member of a mountaineering expedition who claims to have stumbled upon the killing. The video first aired on Romanian television, but it only gained worldwide attention when it was posted on YouTube, the popular video-sharing Web site. Human rights groups explained that the slain were a group of Tibetan refugees that included monks, women, and children. According to the Chinese government, the soldiers had fired in self-defense after they were attacked by 70 refugees. The posted video seems to render that explanation absurd. The U.S. ambassador to China quickly lodged a complaint protesting China’s treatment of the refugees. Welcome to the YouTube effect. It is the phenomenon whereby video clips, often produced by individuals acting on their own, are rapidly disseminated throughout the world thanks to video-sharing Web sites such as YouTube, Google Video, and others. Every month, YouTube receives 20 million visitors, who watch 100 million video clips...

...WHAT IS YOUTUBE YouTube is a website designed for sharing video. Millions of users around the world have created accounts on the site that allow them to upload videos that anyone can watch. Every minute of every day, more than 35 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube. Video files can be very large and are often too big to send to someone else by email. By posting a video on YouTube, you can share a video simply by sending the other person a url ‘link’ – that is, the 'address' of the relevant internet page. When YouTube was created in 2005, it was intended for people to post and share original video content. But since then it's also become both an archive for storing favourite clips, songs and jokes, as well as a marketing site for companies to promote their products. Nowadays the term ‘viral video’ is common. This refers to a video clip that people have liked so much that they've shared its link by email with millions of others around the globe – in effect, it's spread like a virus. Companies have realised that they can harness this ability to reach potential customers and have created their own YouTube accounts for posting advertisements and other marketing videos. Film and television companies maintain a tight control over their own content and block illegal sharing of their programmes. However, several now use YouTube to allow fans to see high-quality trailers or repeats of recently aired shows. ADVANTAGES OF USING YOUTUBE i) Huge video database ...

...feedback on that question as a (very rough) guide as to how you are doing. Don’t forget to reference any claims that you assert or any another sources of information that you use. (Web journals might be useful information sources in this case.) 1. If Microsoft’s were to take over Yahoo, what likely impact might we see on Google’s business and its business model? Analyse it by starting with Porter’s competitive forces model and suggest how the model could inform Google’s defensive strategy. 2. How can Google extend its value chain by leveraging Web 2 concepts? (Hint: Allowing third party access to Google Maps is an example of creating mashups.) 3. What opportunities are there for Google in the mobile device market for its products and services? Apply Porter’s competitive forces model to Google in relation to the mobile market. 5.4. How successful do you think Google will be in the mobile market? Justify your argument. (Hint: Using references will make your argument stronger.) 4.5. Google recently purchased You Tube but You Tube contains a substantial amount of illegal content such as television shows. Discuss some of the ethical ramifications of this situation and what should Google do with this illegal content?
