In society today, information can be gathered through a variety of different sources, usually based off of personal preference. Where someone is getting their information from can play a major role in a view on different events or topics. In order to have a complete understanding, and an educated view, individuals should use a variety of resources. As an individual I gain my information mostly through the use of social media, where people can share information in any manor they choose.
1. Tik tok is one of the biggest platforms of social media at this time for the general population, and its users consist of all ages. With few community guidelines users are able to update any content, which is usually short engaging video clips. Although Tik tok was initially used for entertainment, it now has the power to share and spread important information. Depending on the account people post about all areas of life whether that be health and fitness related, travel/world locations, history, scientific related topics, or just random thoughts. I personally have been able to keep up with current events because of the quick flow of videos containing loads of information2. Instagram, an app usually used to share life photo highlights, also can be used as a space to teach and influence followers. The app has developed over time and is now being used by a wide range of companies and businesses to expand viewers and share promotional content. Instagram also has a "reels" option similar to Tik Tok filled with video clips. Users choose who they follow on instagram so content can be limited, but instagrams offers a "related post" tab allowing users to gain new information and content on their feed. Whether it's a politician, celebrity, news source or network most likely they will have an instagram account used to share content and promote their ideas. I personally follow lots of celebrities and politicians so my feed is filled with new information each day.
d me to shape my own individual opinions and made me a well rounded individual.
