1. One of the drawbacks to social networking is having your personal information readily available for anyone to view. There are higher chances of your identity being stolen if someone finds your social security card. Through social networking, they can find your birthday and other identifying information to fully steal your identity. Another danger is meeting strangers. Sometimes this is a good thing. Networking is great for business, but if you meet someone through the Internet there is a chance that they are a dangerous person and you could be harmed. Social networking can also lead you to get viruses on your computer which can be so damaging that you'll have to purchase a new computer. Also, using Facebook to sell your things can lead to you being scammed. A lot of buy, sell, trade groups go through people online paying and sending the item through shipping. People can find ways to scam you through the online payment and you'll be out of money and your item. Lastly, social networking can lead to broken friendships over political or social opinions.

2. Online representation is your archetype of yourself over the internet or how you are perceived. We represent ourselves on social media through a profile picture, what is written in our bio, the posts we make, or the conversations we have through private messages.

3. A product review is what the customer thinks of the actual product. A user review is what the customer perceives of the product, the customer service, the environment and anything else that your company can control. A user review can damage your company if you do not do well in any of these categories. It can also help your company if you do very well in any of these categories.

4. It is problematic to judge a person solely on their social networking profile because their profile does not show who they are as a person. Determining who they are or what they have done through what they project on their profile is feeding into stereotypes. We can counter these stereotypes on the internet by moderating social media heavily which most social media websites have already begun to do on social justice issues.

5. The lines of national and global issues have been blurred because most of the population of Earth is on the internet and social media. The internet is not restricted on what news they share, so they share the global news. These internet news outlets are often available in different languages. Most internet browsers also have an automatic interpreting program built-in so even if you find a news article in a different language your browser can translate immediately. Making all news, national or global, easily and immediately available.
