Park's Blog

There are quite a few distinctions when it comes to comparing a Blog and a Wiki. By definition, according to The University of New South Wales, a blog is "An online journal, diary or news column with posts in reverse chronological order and options for readers to comment. On the other hand, a wiki is "An easily-edited set of one or more linked web pages that readers can add to or modify". It is also noted, a wiki facilitates collaborative content creation. Furthermore, when it comes to ownership, a blog has an individual owner, while a wiki has multiple. Ultimately, what you use is your specific preference as a blog and wiki are useful in their own ways. In terms of a blog, even though there is an individual owner the use of the comments allows collaboration because people are able to give their own personal insight onto the blog. At the moment, I don't believe there can be another significant function of a wiki as it is used to its furthest abilities in my opinion

I decided to do my research topic on social media because in this day and age, I feel like it just has such a significant impact on society. We practically thrive off of social media and the Internet itself as people rely on it so much. It’s simply such a powerful tool that can easily influence the masses and I consider that a really negative aspect. I also believe it has such a negative influence on the human mind itself in terms of our behavior and mental health. Behavior in such that it leads people to create false identities and people begin to live their life in terms of what social media expects. Mental health, in that I believe it can cause negative effects on the mental health of people, such as depression.
