Assignment 12- Henry Lee

Stakeholders in Social Media essay:

• Me- I am a stakeholder because this is my research paper so I have the most to lose-if I don't pass the portfolio review.
• Individual social media sites- These sites are the reason I am writing this essay, in order to answer my research question I need to address these sites. I will consider their viewpoint by address the positives that social media sites have on teens because these sites aim to provide an online medium where their members can feel safe and comfortable while browsing their sites.
• Teenagers- Teens have a stake in my essay too because they are the demographic I am targeting in my essay so they are stakeholders. I will consider the viewpoint's of teenagers because I can relate to them and our viewpoint can help the readers gain a better understanding of my topic.
• Parents- Parents' are always trying to protect their children and sometimes they get into bad situations on these social media sites, so they too play a role in my discussion.
• Advertisers- Advertisers are the reason most social media sites are free, so they obviously put a lot of their advertising dollars into these sites, hoping to gain customer awareness and attract potential customers. The viewpoints from advertisers are important since they are the ones who are paying sites tons of money to get the attention of their users.
• All of my sources- Every one of my sources that I have included in my essay all have a stake in this paper because I am using the information they provided me to compose a research essay so if the information on the sources aren't right for any reason, the source will then become less trustworthy. The viewpoints of my sources are important and I will be using most of them to support my argument or idea.
• Teachers- I included teachers in general because I wanted to get their prospective in my essay so the portfolio readers can relate or disagree with what other teachers like themselves think about the topic. I will consider the viewpoints of teachers because I was always mad whenever they told me to get off social sites while in high school, so I can use their viewpoints to help address my research topic.

• Schools- Schools are an important stakeholder since many of the public schools all throughout high school have internet restrictions that don't allow students to access social media sites while using their network because they effect student productivity. I will consider the position of school because I want to know how their reason behind restricting internet access.

 My purpose in addressing these stakeholders is to improve my research paper and fulfill one of the basic requirements of this research paper. So by addressing these stakeholders I am hoping to have fulfilled their expectations, and address and solve the problems that occur in my essay. I think my stake in this paper is the same as the teenagers, who I included as a stakeholder because I want to know how these sites affect teenagers in all aspects and if I should be more aware of certain habits since I use social media sites everyday.
