FEELING SOMEWHAT CALMER NOW

I have been trying to set up and understand the various forms of communication that I, along with my classmates will be using over the next few weeks and although I have felt overwhelmed I am excited about the possibilities that can be opened up as a result.  The world is now literally, at my finger tips. Having worked most of my adult life as an employee, with a brief stint of a few years as an employer; I am exploring the option of starting my own business once again and believe the skills I gain in this subject will be invaluable.  I am enjoying reading my classmates Blogs, Twitter and Google plus posts and I'm doing my best to keep up to speed and to learn what is acceptable and interesting to others.

SOCIAL MEDIA CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Studying Communication Management over the next couple of months I will explore different types of Social Media.  Learning about the advantages and disadvantages for individuals and workplace usage.
A question that has been asked numerous times is, Can one person alone make a difference in the world?  There is frequently less dispute that one person united with many CAN make a vast difference!
This brings me to my question that directly relates to Social Media:
Can Social Media unite people to make positive inroads into establishing equality for all people around the globe??
