Community can be an ambiguous word – It is up for individual interpretation and definition based on what it means to each of us individually to be a PART of a Community. The Definition of Community from Wikipedia is: A community is a social unit of any size that shares common values, or that is situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a village or town).
For the purposes of this article, I’m going to focus on the common VALUES aspect of community. It is more available on a global scale, and it doesn’t limit us to being all in one place or geographical area. We can all benefit from it no matter WHERE we are living.
Social Media is a Toddler that Needs Some Parenting
We’ve seen some of the downsides of social media, but these are learning moments that feed us more information on how to BETTER use it. Learning requires failure to be effective, and the social media phenomenon has not been exempt from this straightforward reality. I’d rather focus on all of the positive it has done to create social change, as explored in this great article by Social Media Professional, Kim Garst.
As human beings, we start out life with a set of basic facilities at our disposal to start working with. We can eat, we can sleep, we can digest food, we can cry – but we still need to learn MANY things before we can become a fully functioning member of our society. I see Social Media as this infant, growing into a toddler, then into a teen and then an adult. And since we are just entering the world of pre-teen using this analogy, it is the best time to start instilling positive values, strong ethics and guidelines for being genuine, authentic and open.
