Social Media: Its Advantages, Its Short Comings and Its
Untapped Potential for Greater Change.
Sheila Allison, “Youth and the Potential Power of Social
Media.” 2013. Vol32 (3).
The Author acknowledges Social Media as being of more value
than just a source of entertainment. She sees it as a tool for
change, change that clearly will not be handed freely to those
opposed to Authoritative Leadership Regimes, but use
Interactive media as a means of getting their agenda out there.
She makes findings about youth below the age of 30 years that
they not only use Social Media for interaction, but see it as a
way of discovering their inner selves: their identity. China has
been at the core of her research making analogies between its
upsurge in Media savvies and how change is downright
inevitable from a Dictatorial Communist Regime. The
Dictatorial Communist Regime has been up in arms with
attempts of self-expressions through Social Media or phone
messages through regulation. The Author does indeed point out
at short comings of this sought after Democracy, where it
brought instability to both Egypt and Tunisia after the ouster of
Mohammed Morsi and the Assassination of then opposition
leader respectively. The author outlines how social change has
impacted countries like Somalia, Iran, Pakistan, and
Afghanistan. The article backs most core of researches on
societal change that is possible with more awareness of Social
Media as a tool to air their views.
Fleur, Gabriel, “Sexting, Selfies and Self-Harm: Young People,
Social Media and the Performance of Self Development.” Media
International Australia, May 2014; 151:104-112
The Article’s Author makes disturbing findings about how
misuse of Social Media is corrupting social ethics by instilling
perceived ill-mannered and corrupted ones. Social Media users,

most of whom are young and in their adolescent developmental
stages are constantly being required to consciously, visibly, and
deliberately perform their identity as he puts it. Girls are mostly
susceptible to this, having to prove their identity by posting
naked selfies or photos of their drunken selves in a bid to
bolster their approval rating an acceptance. Fleur documents in
his Research that, contrary to the common belief, adolescents
can make conscious decisions that will not haunt them in the
future. Fleur sees this as a fallacy documenting that the brain
socio-emotional systems mature faster than cognitive-control
systems. He further proves this by detailing the suicide of a 14
year old girl emanating from cyber bullying, and the murder of
an Australian Baseball player: Chris Lane, by 3 men resulting
from them playing violent video games. Educating the youth is
seen as essential. This article aids readers in viewing Social
Media in a different light rather than the perceived, hence
taking drastic measures to curb the vices painting the tool in
bad light.

Participatory Politics: A Study Of University Students.” A
Research Journal of South Asian Studies: Vol. 28, No. 2, July-
December 2013; 353-360
The Authors document a study carried out at a university in
Pakistan to find out the participatory rate of students below the
age of 26 years, but above 18 years of age in National politics.
Results were carried out on the basis that these students were of
a younger population; had access to the internet and owned a
laptop. A resounding majority said they used Social Media as a
means of airing their views on the current regime most of which
were: The Energy crisis, Corruption, and Bad governance just to
mention a few. Social Media was seen as an attractive means of
pushing their agendas compared to the traditional conventional
ways of that needed approval from those in authority. The
Authors detail how Social Media can be impactful to social-
political change.

Singapore: The Interplay of Social and Traditional Media.”
Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media 57(2), 2013; 187–
204 DOI: 10.1080/08838151.2013.787076
The Authors detail how political information is disseminated
among Singaporeans with most having embraced Social Media.
A survey conducted ruled in the affirmative confirming the
widespread social media use among Singapore locals. Facebook,
for example, is largely accredited with ease information flow in
the wake of planned student protests after a visit by the
opposition leader, Doctor Chee Soon Juan. Traditional forms of
sources of political information relies heavily on key political
figures who control and monitor information the public has
access too. Well, this is not the case using social media as the
government dares not disrupt it. People also have access to
gatekeeper information, what this implies is that one is able to
get the information you would normally not find in print
conventional media normally revolving around political affairs.
Yet again social media is regarded as a tool for advocating for
political and social change.

of Recreational Media Use in Youth Socialization: Extending
the Citizen Communication Mediation Model.” Online Journal
of Communication and Media Technologies: Volume: 4 – Issue;
1, January 2014.
The Authors have researched on the continued widening gap
between the older generation and the younger with regards to
the decline in the civic and political participation. It has been
closely noted that participating in online video streaming and
gaming has a contributing factor to lower civic and public
participation. However, if used correctly social media is
regarded as a tool that could greatly impact political
participation. Activities that have been found fit to improve
civic participation have been listed as: classroom participation,
newspaper reading, interactive civic messaging, and face-to-
face communication. The effects on civic participation were
outlined under two models namely: the model fit and the path

model which both detailed the effects of various variables on
both political and civic participation. The survey conducted
clearly isolated those practices that were for the good of public
integration and participation from those that were not.

Media Use as a Resource Among Homeless Youth.” Journal of
Computer-Mediated Communication: International
Communication Association, (2014) 232–247.
The Authors observe in their findings that homeless youths
actually use the internet at least once per week. It further details
how these individuals use social media as a tool to communicate
with their peers; keep in touch with their family members; and
also talk to their present or preferred future employers.
Emailing is the most preferred mode of communication.
Researchers have found out that most of the youth get online to
research on topics of interest and reformative such as health and
sexual education information, as well as jobs and housing.
Social media is seen as a positive tool for true rehabilitation
and reform to homeless individuals.

excited’: Perceptions of using Digital technology and social
media by young people who use augmentative and Alternative
communication.” Child Language Teaching and Therapy (30)
In their publication, Amanda et al., credited Social Media with
improving social inclusiveness of people who use Augmentative
and Alternative Communication. How this is achieved is by
employment of new technologies to allow individuals with
physical or speech impairments to connect with their peers over
the internet, thus improving their overall quality of lives. It has,
however faced a number of setbacks, citing lack of technical
support, and know-how available in their localities.
Accordingly, notwithstanding the participants of a recent survey
conducted that revealed their satisfaction in role the technology
advancement had played in their lives. This has greater backed
social media’s overall approval rating as a tool for impactful
