Watch this video.  As you watch the video, think about how the description of the cybersecurity analyst job relates to social behaviors.  Write a paragraph describing social themes that arise in the presentation.

The social themes I was able to see revolved mostly around realizing how people are going to affect your job as a cybersecurity analyst and working to prevent those people from creating real problems. She also mentioned that one responsibility of a cybersecurity analyst is to provide training and guidance for user awareness in the online world as to take preventative measures against cybersecurity programs having to be utilized in the first place.

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 on the Social Media Disorder scale. I think every item on the scale is a very valid question for anyone that has an active social media presence, and having people, especially youths go through this checklist on a semi frequent basis would be important in understanding how much it is shaping the world. The patterns make plenty of sense, as countries with higher access and freedoms to whatever they want in the digital world will score higher on the test. People do not want to get off of social media if they don’t have to as it is not seen as a possible issue to them that they are spending more time than is healthy on it.
