Social Action Project Intoduction

Part 1.) There are numerous different ideas for using social media to promote justice. These causes could be domestic violence, internet privacy, and e waste.

-Domestic violence has been going on for as long as time itself. It is a terrible tragedy that has plagued society for too long. Domestic violence can take many forms including physical, sexual and emotional abuse in the house. It is a terrible thing that needs to be stopped in our society because it is a terrible thing that goes on.

-Internet Privacy has become a subject thats become an issue in the 2000s. It is such a big problem because almost everyone in America today has some sort of social network medium, whether it is facebook, twitter, instagram, or even myspace. The issue that comes up with it is that there is an issue of abusing someones information whether it is credit card information, personal information, or photographs. Most people do not want this information being shared or abused, but it still happens anyway despite what they try do about it.

-The e waste issue is a more recent one that revolves around the idea of "what happens to our electronics after we get rid of them?"Most of these parts are sent to recycling centers or shipped to Africa and being disassembled in harmful ways. They are not being disposed of properly and it is hurting the environment and all those recycling the parts.
