Connection



Summary/recap Sofia Ayalde 16/05/12

How is social communication/gossip related to media such as technology? Social communication/gossip is related a lot to media because through social networks, phones, smartphones and other technological sources a lot of gossip is created and many people can see affected. Because many people can communicate much easier through technological sources than face to face and also people like it more, and people dont have proves of who said what, and no body can see the chat or the phone call, so in that way a lot of gossip is transmitted. How is gossip connected to other problems? Gossip is connected to many other problems such as bullying, peer pressure, depression etc. Bullying, because gossip is a type of bullying, peer pressure because if a gossip is about that some one is fat or really skinny they can feel pressured and become really fat or really skinny, and depression because they will feel excluded and sad and they can get depressed because people talk about him/her and dont like him/her

 * A la victima: **

 * Sufrimiento
 * Daño de la imagen ajena
 * Perjuicios a todo nivel

En quienes lo divulgan:
 * Morbo
 * Placer
 * Disfrute

Usefulness This helped us fro our action, because we could see the two P.O.V's (victims and ofenders), so we could make our ideas clearer and be prepared for any question about :
 * Why is gossip bad?
 * Can't it be good from any side?
 * What happens to the victim?
 * How do you know people feel this way?

Daniela Mejía 15/05/12 =** How is gossip connected to other issues like, conversations, health, well-being, anger and social order? **= ====Even if some gossips affect and hurt other people, not all gossips are bad, there are actually some positive outcomes, it actually makes some people feel better, and it is proved that over **60% of our conversations are centered around gossip**. Gossip, sometimes benefits the recipient and is actually **good for our health and well-being.** It is a way of freeing yourself, when there's something/someone bothering you, gossip actually **makes you less angry and relived.** ====

But it also helped us clear our thoughts. Because we thought gossip couldn't bee good or helpful in any aspect, but we realized it could. Not because of the effect it has on people when created, but the impact people have on the community, not to be gossiped about. And we talked and discussed about this with 2nd grade kids in our action.
