Reflection on Findings
I really enjoyed researching this topic and found some really interesting facts. All of the facts that I found from my research were very important, but the most important fact that I found was that it is legal for colleges and companies to view applicant’s profiles. This was very important to my research because the main argument of social networking being blocked for students is that colleges and employers can view their profiles. The most surprising thing that I found through my research was the statistics of how many people use these social networking sites every day. Facebook has become so populated to be the 3rd largest country within the few years of their operation. I answered most of my questions, but I still have one question; should there be some type law or policy for these evaluations? This question is important because without any regulations on these evaluations they could allow discriminatory acts to become more prone. My research has brought me to the conclusion that social networking sites should be allowed. I have come to this conclusion because it is a student’s responsibility to act correctly and post appropriate items.
