Question 4

FACEBOOK

• Private information gets posted-this is when people start to post private information on other peoples wall. This information is posted for the rest of the world to view and creates embarassment to the person being spoken about. Misunderstandings are created and relationships start to weaken.
• Cyber bullying-here, underage children are exposed to sites that are dangerous to them. The victim is bullied into visiting these sites and this influences their relationships between their parents in terms of attitude and behaviour. It also affects the relationship with themselves as they become depressed and do all sorts of stuff to get rid of their problems. 
• Anti-social-this is one of the most common reasons why there are conflict between most relationships. Facebook rquires a lot of time which means that the user needs to be logged in quite often. In this way they become addicts and neglect family time which creates problems between siblings, family and even boyfriends or girlfirends.
• Sharing-here, people share pictures and other stuff which may not be appealing to other which may result in conflict.

TWITTER

• Contact-the best effect that twitter has on its users is that people are able to keep in contact with their far away friends and family as well as the celebs that they go mad for. This is an easier way for them to stay in touch with people they dont see often and keep the communication going.
• Rumours-people tend to start gossiping about others and when one starts it, everyone gets the joke. this is a step towards ruining ones reputation. this may create problems with the victim and relationships surrounding him or her.
• Sharing too much-here, people tend to share most of their information and this results in your information being seen by everyone. In other words, the users are able to find anyone they are in search for. Also, if important information is leaked, it can cause lots of conflict between close people.

BLACKBERRY MESENGER

• Free-positively thinking bbm is free. This allows more communication and a stronger bond between the relationshps of them in terms of sharing media and other things.
• Conflict-here, the users are unable to communicate efficiently and misunderstandings are created in terms of how messages are sent and recieved. This creates chaos and some terrible problems between two or more people.
• Group chats-Users on a group chat tend not to respond and partake in the chat which makes others feel insecure about the topic. Thereafter this becomes a problem and when onfronted can lead to other nasty issues.
