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?
