Q=Question from my research Blog



What does the legendary "Facebook Drama" look like?



What my research question is trying to say is that what trouble does Facebook cause? I want to try to explain how this trouble erupts on this specific website. So I went ahead and started to collect research on this topic of trouble coming from Facebook. What I found was an article that says a man kills his wife  because she changed her marital statuas from "Married" to "Single." I found this article on BBC News, and I think article will amplify the effects of using social media is an overall bad effect and negative impact on our community or any community.

What this article says in that 41 year old Edward Richardson brutally stabbed and killed his 26 year old wife, Sarah Richardson. He went into a frenzy when he saw what his wife did. So this led to the man frantically getting to his wife so that he can brutally attack and stab her. The reason why he would do this is because he still wanted to be committed to this woman, but seeing her status update on Facebook was enough to drive him stark crazy.

This article answers my question by a man literally killing is wife over a status update on Facebook. I would consider this an extreme, with heavy emphasize on the word, case of Facebook Drama, if you could call it that. In my opinion, this greatly exceeds the line of "Facebook Drama" because some guy went into a berserking rage because of a simple notification on Facebook. This would not have affected a person that takes social networking in moderation because the person would still know that the marriage is still binding due to the contract. It devastated this man so much because he used Facebook too much.

Research blog

The film topic I plan to introduce is how social networking and/or effects teenage relationships. I want to show how this issue is too prevalent in our generations of teenagers or young adults. Researching this topic needs to be shown because it does more harm to our younger society, rather then helps. If I were to go to anyway walking on the street, I could almost guarantee that someone could give me a story about how social networking has negatively effected a relationship of theirs; whether it be family, romantic, or friendship. Also, I want the watcher of my film to walk away with the experience of how to know what effect that too much social networking has, and hopefully how to deal or even completely avoid issues.

This issue has been incorporated into my life. What I mean, is that a problem erupted because of a specific social networking website, Facebook. I saw a family member's marriage fall apart.  His wife frequently posted their problems on Facebook, thinking that other people will try to help with their marital problems. Not only did she not receive help, she was slandered for the most part, for posting their business and problems on a site that's not suppose to publicize such things.

Things I have to research around my topic:


  • What does the legendary "Facebook Drama" look like?
  • Why do people feel the need to blurt out anything that they could on a social networking site?
  • What are the real effects of pressing the "Like" button to a certain thing?
  • What age group does this effect?
