Week 5 Midterm: Networking in the United States

There are many positive and negative aspects to networking in the United States. On the positive side, networking brings in a lot of new faces and connections. Having good connections also helps out business and getting more exposure and or help from other outside parties. The more networking you do, the more likely you will have a popular and successful business.  There are so many ways to network with people using social such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Blogger.  There are also such things as certain parties that you can attend to network with people, such as an elegant formal party after a fashion show etc.” It is a sign of how deeply and widely social networking companies have penetrated the lives of ordinary people and, in turn, transformed the ways in which people communicate, authorities govern and companies sell things.”  -SOMINI SENGUPTA.

On the negative side the more people that you network with will also become confusing on who’s who. Also the more people the more likely you are going to meet a shady dishonest person whose only intention is to use or scam you. It also is not great for this generation coming up because of all the bad predictors and “catfish” people. People can hack into your social media’s and does harm to your information, better yet get some of your private information. Another reason networking can be a bad thing because of cyber bulling.  
1. Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online. 1 in 4 has had it happen more than once.
2. 70% of students report seeing frequent bullying online. Filling up your friends' Facebook feeds with positive posts instead of negative ones can boost school-wide morale. Start a Facebook page for students to submit positive acts they see in school to promote a culture of positivity on and offline.
3. Over 80% of teens use a cell phone regularly, making it the most common medium for cyber bullying.
4. 68% of teens agree that cyber bullying is a serious problem.
5. 81% of young people think bullying online is easier to get away with than bullying in person.
