to try and capture our attention. They can also use social media to interact

directly consumers If we are not happy with a service where can we complain?

SOCIAL INTERACTIONSPrivacy – how do we control what gets on the internet?

• Who owns what we post? • What would happen if someone uses a photo you post to

Facebook? Who owns that photo now, you or Facebook? • What information can you get about someone from

looking on their Facebook Page?Limiting face to face interactions – how many facebook

friends are our real friends? What are the implications of having only a few fb friends, what about have 300+

RESEARCH Ethically collected data: you must explain to the person

interviewing how the data will be used, they will remain anonymous, why you are collecting the information, and that they will have access to the finished report.

A primary source is a document or object which was written or created during the time under study. These include original documents (diaries, speeches, letters, interviews) and creative works (poetry, drama, novels, music, art).

A Secondary source interprets and analyses primary sources. They may have pictures or quotes in them. These include publications (textbooks, magazine articles, criticisms, commentaries & encyclopaedias)

on King’s writings would be secondary.
