Module 9 Journal

I did no for the 7 out of 9 for the scale with a lot of my issues coming from the escapism
that comes with getting on social media, you will only see the good of social media. Another one
that I said yes to is displacement which means you will get on social media first before doing the
important things in life such as homework and hobbies. The one that I usually do is when I have
homework but if I really do not want to I will get on social media and just disassociate. Social
media will sometimes suck you in and you will be there for hours without realizing it, that would
be called doom scrolling which can be a negative and positive. The items on the scale have a lot
to do with social media precedent over your everyday life. With a lot of the options having to do
with feeling bad or down when you are not able to get on social media because you have other
responsibilities. The difference with this type of scale and result around the world is that it has to
depend on if they are able to access the internet , if they have access to a phone and if they are
able to access the internet due to the government. Some countries the government will ban some
social media because of the agenda that they want to go with. Having access to social media is a
privilege and a lot of people are not able to do it.
