Social Media

I got to know a website called "Pelastakaa Lapset ry". It is a client organization that promotes children's rights. Besides their websites they also use for example Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. By using social media they try to share information and wake emotions in people for example using pictures. In Facebook they post information about upcoming events and current news. On Instagram they campaign for things related to donations. On YouTube there is a lot of informative content and personal experience stories. 

When thinking about advantages and disadvantages of using social media:

Using social media it is easy to reach people, raise awareness and get people to donate. 

But things related to children you must be really careful online. Also the organization's campaigning on social media takes time and skills. 

I would develop the organization so that there would be more collaboration with schools in social media: Training and raising awareness for teachers online and involving young people in different campaigns. There also could be more collaboration on social media with influencers that inspire young people.

She doesn't look at the professional or say a word when the professional asks her about things that happened at the workplace.  As a professional= I don't force her to talk and I to her calmly. I know she might not feel safe so I'll let her be quiet....

Reflection about cultural communication

I learned from cultural communication that adapting to a new, different culture can bring many challenges. There are many different languages ​​in the world, which can be completely different from each other (for example different letters and pronunciation). Social life is different in different cultures. Some countries are more social than others and people need socialization more in their lives. People come from different backgrounds and employment opportunities in another culture can be a positive or negative surprise. Jobs in different countries can be very different depending the standard of living. People can have their own personal needs related to the culture, which are not important to someone from another culture, such as religion, clothing, routines. W hat I consider when meeting a client from another culture: I am open and want to talk to them, so I can get to know them better. I ask them politely if there is something about their culture that concerns me. I stay respectf...
