AbstractThis study reviews the phenomenon of eating in restaurants that recently came out as a new lifestyle known as “makan cantik” (aesthetic eating). This lifestyle is currently trending among young people, especially those in the urban areas such as Jakarta. This study uses qualitative methods to observe and describe makan cantik as a hyperreality on social media, constructed through simulation. Makan cantik is done with an intention of broadcasting the activity through social media. Makan cantik is a simulation that is intentionally constructed to present certain image, such that represents the upper class society. Beneath what’s been presented in social media, there is a contrasting condition of real life. Therefore, it can be said that there is no clarity of class status on social media, for social media nowadays is no longer presenting the reality, but instead the hyperreality.AbstrakPenelitian ini akan mengkaji mengenai fenomena makan di restoran yang saat ini telah menjadi sebuah gaya hidup baru disebut sebagai makan cantik. Kegiatan tersebut sedang tren dilakukan anak muda khususnya yang tinggal di perkotaan seperti Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk melihat dan menggambarkan makan cantik sebagai sebuah hiperealitas pada social media yang dibentuk melalui simulasi.Makan cantik dilakukan dalam rangka untuk memberitahukan kegiatannya kepada orang melalui social media. Makan cantik merupakan simulasi yang sengaja dibentuk untuk menampilkan image tertentu, karena hal tersebut dianggap dapat merepresentasikan masyarakat kelas atas. Di balik makan cantik yang di unggah di social media, ternyata hal tersebut berlainan dengan kondisi yang nyata. Sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa telah terjadi pengaburan kelas dimana tidak adanya kejelasan dari status kelas yang dimunculkan di social media. Social media saat ini tidak lagi menampilkan realitas yang sebenarnya, namun menampilkan hiperrealitas.

Western Democracies

Western democracies have seen a decrease in political participation, with young people singled out as the most problematic group. But young people are also the most avid users of online media. It has therefore been argued that online media could be used to evoke their interest in politics, and thus contribute to the reinvigoration of democratic citizenship. Using a mixed qualitative methods approach, this article takes a closer look at 26 young Swedes’ experiences and understandings of social media, especially Twitter and Facebook, as used for political discussions. Compared to the average Swedish 17 to 18-year-olds, the participants are relatively interested in civic and political questions. By focusing on this segment, the article mirrors the experiences of an understudied group – young people who are interested in politics but not engaged. The participants were skeptical about social media as used in relation to politics, and expressed doubts about their suitability and usefulness. Four themes were identified, where three have to do with perceived risks: for conflict, misunderstandings and deceit. The participants also expressed the idea of online political activities as being less authentic than their offline equivalents. The idea that young people want and expect something that political organizations cannot live up to is one of the most dominant discourses that characterize the discussion on youth political participation today. However, while some properties of social media fit well into what young people have been found to prefer, for the participants, negative traits seem to outweigh the positive ones, thus discouraging them from participating.

For many cosmopolitan urban Germans and Europeans in Berlin in the late 2000s, social media platforms were a site where gender and class were enacted through articulations of emergent nerd masculinity or hip, ironic femininity. But these platforms, such as Facebook or Pinterest, encoded normative assumptions about masculinity and femininity in their visual and interaction design, excluding women and acceptable femininity as subjects of technological expertise. Sites that presented themselves as neutral spaces for connection and interaction, like Twitter or Facebook, instantiated gendered understandings of technology that rendered public space implicitly masculine, white, and middle class. Visually based sites like Pinterest and Etsy, in contrast, were marked as domains of feminine domesticity, representing not only a shift to visual communication but to visual modes of interaction that structured gender online. Although many young people resisted hegemonic notions of gender, their social media practices stabilized their class status as aspiring urban cosmopolitans. In this article, I consider how gender and class stabilized temporarily through material-semiotic engagements with technology interfaces.

Young people who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) can experience reduced social participation and continue to face challenges in developing and using communication and literacy skills for real-life contexts. Drawing on emerging research, this discussion article highlights the potential benefits and advantages of participation in online conversations with peers as an additional support to both communication development and social participation for this group. Cross-Age peer e-mentoring to support participation in social media is proposed as a potential intervention strategy to enhance social participation and at the same time improve communicative competence and literacy for young people who use AAC.

In the digital era, social media is increasingly permeating the fragmented lives of people. While enjoying the convenience and speed of online socializing, people are gradually surrounded by a variety of information. Through observations and interviews, we found that young people are plagued by negative comparisons, interaction dysfunction, information overload, social overload, and intergenerational communication in the process of participating in social media. Increasing numbers of young people feel overwhelmed in the process of online socialization and the phenomenon of social media fatigue (SMF) gradually spreads. This study combined the existing relevant theoretical models of the influencing factors of SMF and the real-life empirical materials of youth groups. Furthermore, this study enriched into new research variables and validated the data of relevant variables through a questionnaire survey (n = 663) to explore the influencing factors of SMF of youth groups and inductively analyze the inner logic of the emergence of SMF among such groups. It was found that negative comparison, interaction dysregulation, information overload, social overload, self-efficacy, and impression management all had significant positive effects on SMF behaviors, while privacy anxiety and intergenerational communication had no significant positive effects on SMF behaviors.

BACKGROUND With the recent rise in popularity of standing electric scooters, there have been an increase in related injuries seen in the emergency departments. Social media, especially Instagram, is used by a significant number of young people as a platform of socialization and information sharing. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine the association between standing electric scooter related injuries seen in the emergency room and human behaviors on Instagram. METHODS We searched “#electricscooter” on Instagram and reviewed the first 1000 posts. To be included in the study, the image must include at least one standing electric scooter. Based on image characteristics, we categorized the posts non-exclusively, meaning that a post can be assigned to more than one category. The categories include: 1. no humans, 2. human using the standing electric scooter or is posing next to the vehicle, 3. more than one rider on one scooter, 4. include children, 5. include helmet, 6. advertisement, 7. advertisement that depicts helmet. RESULTS As of 1/30/2020, there are 278,054 posts related to #electricscooter on Instagram. 563 posts are included in the study. These posts are categorized non-exclusively as follow: 231 (40.1%) posts depict electric scooter(s) in the image without any human interactions. 248 (44.0%) posts illustrate humans using the scooter or is posting next to the scooter. 5 (0.9%) posts depict more than one rider on one vehicle at a time. 5 (0.9%) posts include children. 59 (10.5%) posts depicted helmets within the image. 73 (13.0%) posts are advertisements for electric scooters. 2 (0.4%) of the advertisement posts include helmet(s). CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that human behaviors regarding standing electric scooters on Instagram are reflexive of human behaviors in real life. We suspect that human behaviors and advertisement patterns on Instagram may contribute to the normalization of unsafe standing electric scooter riding practices. Instagram and other social media platforms may be cost-effective places for patient outreach regarding electric scooter safety.

Young people make intensive and varied use of social networks, which depends on individual differences and use motives. This study analyses the different ways in which young people use the main social media platforms and the role that gender, age and social class play in users’ behaviour with a representative sample of young people aged 17–24 in the Community of Madrid (Spain) (N = 533). Women and the youngest people (17–19 years of age) used social networks more consistently. Instagram and Facebook were the most widely used social networks with greater diversity of use in the areas of sociability and entertainment. While women and the younger age group spent more time using Instagram, young people from the upper class and upper-middle class used Facebook more often in a variety of ways. YouTube was used less frequently, and it was used mainly for entertainment purposes. Snapchat played a small role in this segment of the population. We conclude that age and social class play an important role in defining the different ways in which young people in the Region of Madrid use social media, and such influences vary depending on the platform under study and the types of activities being carried out.

Language being a potent vehicle of transmitting cultural values, norms and beliefs remains a central factor in determining the status of any nation. India is a multilingual country which tends to encourage people to use English at national and international level. Basically English in India owes its presence to the British but its subsequent rise is not fully attributable to the British. It has now become the language of wider communication which is now spoken by large number of people all over the world. It is influenced by many factors such as class, society, developments in science and technology etc. However the major influence on English language is and has been the media.

Informal economy includes varied set of economic activities, enterprises, jobs, and workers. The economy typically consists of enterprises and/or people that are not regulated or protected by the state. The concept originally applied to self-employment in small unregistered enterprises. It has been expanded to include wage employment in unprotected jobs. A home-based self-employed women worker can be involved as a fashion designer, a tiffin service provider, a home tutor, a person working with vendors, selling and reselling apparel, accessories to name a few. Informal self-employment is very large and heterogeneous as a category itself. There are different people working within in an informally self-employed category. The review tries to understand home based business women within the ambit of informal employment. The focus of research turns to technological advancement, social media and its impact on womens economic and business efforts. The review, using a feminist lens, understands academic researches on womens economic efforts. The reviews focus will largely be owners and own account (individually run enterprises) women workers of informal enterprises in urban areas which for ease of reference, I have termed as home-based self-employed urban woman.
