Journal Entry# 9 : Complete the Social Media Disorder scale.  How did you score?  What do you think about the items in the scale?  Why do you think that different patterns are found across the world?

I scored a 4/9, The choices that were given were very realistic because a lot of people have trouble getting off their phone. Different patterns may be found around the world because different countries view of social media is very different from America most people don’t even use social media in other countries, or they don’t use it in the way that Americans use it. In today’s world Americans use social media as a job or as a business tactic, in most countries they have rural areas that most likely don’t have social media, but I feel as if a greater portion of the United States has phones and social media in some form. So, it would be easier for someone like me or an average American to be more attached to their phone and social media.
