The reason why I chose "The Problem of Social Network" is because social network is related with our daily life. There are a lot of social network, for example, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and mixi.
Social network has both positive and negative points.
'POSITIVE'
We can chat with friends, write daily events, share photos and videos and so on. In business, they can use them to appeal their products or events as well. It is really useful to communicate and share information. For example, if we cannot use system of mail or calling, we can use social network instead.
'NEGATIVE'
1.Privacy problem All people can access to our profile. There are name, photos, birth of date or town etc...so we have no privacy. Therefore some people use social network to meet unknown people for sexual problems.
2.Reliability of information Everyone can spread and share information. People tend to receive them without doubts. It sometimes makes a confusion. Worst of all, it leads to frauds.
3.Discrimination(Bulling) Someone who have social network's account vs Someone who doesn't have them
The former tends to feel collectivism and consider the latter as other group. On the other hand, the latter tends to feel isolated.
My opinion & Solution
I think social network is good if we use it as a just one of tools. We should use it critically. When we receive information, we should judge it by ourselves. We should have responsibility.
We can set up profile or photos to just family and friends.

Nice topic!
返信削除A research question such as "What should users of social networks be careful of? What problems should they be aware of?"
Using net resources is natural for this, but try to find books in Japanese etc.!
