ROUND TABLE

The principal topic about the round table was social networks and how some countries banned them.

Some of us agree with the banning because there are a lot of reasonable things to do it. Like in Arab Emirates the prohibited Flickr because people were publishing bad things like pornographic pictures. In some parts of China they banned Facebook because the workers were spending more time on Facebook than in their own jobs, on Turkey they prohibited Twitter and Facebook because they didn’t want the world to know their corruptly cases, some people on Turkey were publishing their opinions about the politic of their country.

Some of us disagree because social networks aren’t bad at all, it all depends on the use we give to them, like in the case of Flickr on Arab Emirates is not that necessary to banned this social network because not all of the people posts pornographic pictures, in fact most of the people posts nature pictures or pictures of themselves, so it isn’t fair for those who give GOOD USE to this social network.

Nowadays social networks are really useful their tools, we can use them for many things; like for communicating with your family from other parts of the world or for making homework with your classmates, to know about your friends and what are they doing and even you can get to know news and things that happen all over the world.

The conclusion of this round table was that social networks aren’t bad, it all depends on how we administrate them and in those cases of the pornographic posts or violent posts we have to watch out and be careful, and in the future teach our kids what things are really bad for them to see on Social Media.
