Assignment 6: Source 4 & 5

Source 4:

Tunick, R. , Mednick, L. , & Conroy, C. (2011). A snapshot of child psychologists' social media activity: Professional and ethical practice implications and recommendations. Professional Psychology, Research & Practice, 42(6), 440-447.

            This article talks about how social networking and the regards to online access for information that is available at the click of a mouse. This article discusses professionalism as it applies to social networking sites, as well as dilemmas ethically and professionally as it relates to the digital age. Relevant to my previous source (source 3) this source also talks about how social networking sites break down the distance between professional relationships.

            This article relates so closely to my third source and the fact that I found that to be a valuable and very possible source to use. I think this source also has equal relevance to my topic, or future topic as the way in which the third source also related, which was a way in order to present some of the negative figures of social networking sites. I also think that the dilemmas that this article brings up, are very valid and could help to argue both points of social networking. 

Source 5:

SCOTT, D. (2011). Be an agent of change. EContent, 34(10), 40.

            This article very much talks about the importance of social networking, and the way in which it connects people. At the beginning of this article the author talks about how we are currently living in a communication revolution. The author also talks about how the bosses out there that resist change, and don’t want social networking to be involved with the work place, have in returned loosened success, and cut themselves off from what could be. This article talks much about how social networking is a great place for advertisement and getting noticed. The author also says that he is convinced that social networking improves professional and personal lives through engagement with people.

            I think this is a very important article, and brings up a positive point about social networking, and the connections that can be made, and advertising that can be done, all at the same time just from a social networking site. I think this is an aspect not typically thought about, and therefore I think it would be something great to bring up in a research paper, based off of the whole idea of social networking and how it has impacted the current lifestyles.
