Chapter 9: Post 1: Facebook


I tend to keep my Facebook very clean with minimal information as possible. I am pretty selective with information I show on Facebook as well as uploading my own status, checking in to places etc. When people look at my profile they could tell that I am very family oriented, like sports and are religious. There have been times when people have placed profanity on my wall. I wish they hadn’t done that because my wall is a reflection of me and who I am as well as who I associate with. When that has happened, I asked them to stop and would delete their post! I think that posting things on Facebook or having certain things on your profile can totally create conflict in communication. People tend to miscommunicate things whether it is in an email, on your social profile or on text. Another way is posting a certain status on your profile about anything, and if someone does not agree with you, they will let it be known and conflict is most likely to arise.

  1. Dia, I completely agree with that a person's Facebook account is a reflection of themselves. I think it is wise that you are selective with the information that you choose to post on your account. It seems like some people choose to post a lot of information about themselves, even personal information. I also agree with you that posting on social websites, e-mail, and texts can lead to miscommunication. It is hard to gage a person's tone when you are just reading their words. I have to say, I like that you communicated to the person that left profanity on your wall that you didn't like that and to delete it.
