Social media has a a lot of power as it affects or get to lots of people. Social media is all about how the media is sent to us. By mail or myspace, twitter. Its a form of way to communicate through different websites to get across to you about the social media. Social media is a lot about things like gossip were the latest news are out about the people such as celebrities and the latest things that happen or that they have done. For example; if a celebrity like madonna would mess up on a song and it would go live or on air on the radio, the media would pass this news across to everyone and would be spread out to different websites like twitter, facebook or any other.. This is a means to communicated the latest news on everything.. This can also lead to gossip and rumours that is passed on by someone to many other people. People can also post picture of previous things that happen and have people being tagged. For example, in the text it says; a 26 year old women living in Manhattan said she dreaded being tagged in photos because people might notice she always wears one or two outfits when going out at night, a basic black dress or for dates, a lynyrd sky-nyrd T-shirt. This is a reason why social media affects people. It tends to make problems or have people care about what other say about that specific person on the picture. Social media can come out strong and can just simply come out in a way that people will comment have you care for their say about you. You have to sometimes learn to ignore the social media that happens because then it will affect you in a strong way and take alot of place in your life.

Video Doc response
- Was there a point where you felt you were overwhelmed and felt like your "image" wasn't enough.
My image is only projected by what other people say. Of course i do have a say on what i think of myself and yes sometimes i believe that my image isn't perfect. For example: being skinny is one thing i believe i am not exactly. A lot of people would say i am skinny and yes maybe i am but to my image i don't think i am totally there yet.
- Is the line blurred between what is "Sexy" and the image that you have (or are building) of yourself?
Sexy is just a figure of speech to describe how people look in a more discriminate way or just to add more to beautiful. No, sexy is not blurred between sexy and the image of myself.
- Whose role is it to set "limits"?
Setting limits is up to our own self. If we don't set limits and people realize we should like a close friend or something, they should tell us too.
What advise would you give to a 4 year old about start her "social life", by going to school next year?
For a 4 year old kid, i'd tell them to socialize with people. Don't be afraid to be yourself when you talk to people and if they don't like you, don't change yourself to fit in or be what the person wants you to be. Just be you. Make friends by talking to different people.

Do we truly make our own decisions?
I believe that decision making is linked with life. As i believe life is created for us our decisions are not actually made by us. If life is created for us, every decision we make has been already made for us, though we still choose to decide on the choices we have. We have choices to make simply to choose a path on our own, but behind all of this, decisions do not truly come from us. We make decisions just because it is part of the life that has been created for us since the beginning of our lives. We do ask ourselves if we truly make decisions, but do you actually make them? It all depends in what you believe because some people could say that the decisions we make are totally from our own self and we choose on what to decide. i personally believe that our decisions are not from us, but created for us.

truth & trust
In my own opinion and thought, we build information on what we know. For example, if we see something we come up with the information based on the thing or whatever it is. This information becomes the truth when it is shown with real facts. Of course it is an issue to believe what is said about the source and to trust it because we don't know where this information comes from. I think this information is to be trusted when it is proven of some kind that this happen and it proves when too. You need more then just some facts to believe that the information is true and to trust it.
This is a picture showing someone who is into books. My intensions on putting this picture is to show how people stereotype these types of people as nerds or bookworm. These people are just like us. You may be right that they like to read books, but does that make them a nerd for that? Think about it. Its very interesting to see how people can stereotypes these types of people like this. As you can see, it is someone who is very much into books. Think about this, if this was you, would you like to be labeled and stereotyped?
