Describing your thought on media use

         My views on using social media is the software that mediates human communication in which media be defined as "an interactive platform through which able an individuals and communities to create as well as share user-generated content through the possibility of discovery and learning new information, share ideas and interact with others”. Therefore, social media has significantly altering the way people interact and carry out to their daily lives. As an example, I use social media like Facebook and Twitter to communicate with other people around the world by sharing verbal expression and experience. And, when I require feedback, there are viewers that much than happy to share their views. Hence, with the listening and respond, the construction of relationships with other people who are also using these social media such as Facebook and Twitter can be initiated. It enables us to have continuing conversation irrespective of where the person located.

     Social media is not only could communicate with an existing contact, but also in the development the new consortium that have the same interest. This social network brings findings and learning of new information, sharing ideas and interacting with others to create a professional network that can assist them find employment or obtain tips on how to enhance their careers. Therefore, looking for a job through the newspapers is turning to social media for purpose of able greater time-saving.

     In addition, as we know, the press turned to social media not only saves time but also increase the number of readers of the trust resources of friends and followers on social media platforms. It  had become a reliable source for news compared to traditional sources. This happen because there is a user-friendly creation which has the same interests field. Followers and friends can be increased, and through it, a person can become extremely popular in social media such Facebook and Twitter. For example, a trial which is issued by a person about a political and indirectly for believers will continue to share your information to others. Interested in certain issue that been stated increase a number of followers or viewers and it will be a main topic of the day.

      Conclusion, social media has a lot of usage and it depend on us how we embrace and use it in good for assist day of lives. Therefore, we need to use social media as better in order not to prejudice yourself and others.

 Trans-Disciplinary

    Generally, transdisciplinary can be considered as an aggregation of all fields of endeavor which connotes a research strategy that crosses many disciplinary boundaries to create a holistic approach. Although several existing disciplines able to create new knowledge by team discipline but transdisciplinary team is more comprehensive as intended to relate all disciplines into a coherent whole. It is applicable to intensify its research efforts focusing on problems across the boundaries two or more disciplines, such as research on effective information systems for biomedical research and referring to concept or method that was originally developed by one discipline, but are now being used by some others, such as ethnography, research methods originally developed in anthropology yet right now is widely used by other disciplines.

It takes place in nearly every working environment and study, nearly every day which means it are a method inquiry employed in various academic disciplines, traditionally in the social sciences, but are also in market research and further contexts. Efforts to gather insights into human behavior and the reasons that determine behavioral that causes why and how to make decisions, not just what, where, investigated in depth. Hence, smaller but focused samples are more often needed than large samples.
