How Social Media is Shaping Our Political Future | Victoria Bonney | TEDxDirigo

- Опубліковано 16 гру 2018
- Drawing on her personal path from indifferent citizen to passionate campaigner, Victoria Bonney implores us to examine the ways citizens and elected officials alike are using social media to change democracy - for the better. From the swift engagement of hashtags to the transparency of tweeting policy-at-play in unfolding situations, social media is changing the way we see our representatives - and the way they see us. After volunteering for Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign, Victoria Bonney was inspired to be a voice for causes and political candidates that she believed in. During her 12-year career, she has served as a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood, the New Hampshire Democratic Party, the Massachusetts Speaker of the House, and the United States Department of Health and Human Services during implementation of the Affordable Care Act. With expertise in digital storytelling and online engagement, Victoria currently serves as Communications Director for Maine’s First District Congresswoman Chellie Pingree. She is a 2006 graduate of Endicott College. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I agree that social media does help politicians be more relatable. But social media also helps them alter the way we see things. We only see what they want us to see. Just like filters and certain angles that make you look better in a picture. There is no way to know what you are seeing or hearing on social media is actually "real"
Yep, that is EXACTLY what they want.....confusion.....a population that longer knows what is real. If you can no longer keep lying to people, you try to confuse them.
But it starts with cops. Which is the first ambassador the government has with the people. And know the cops have no privacy. With a virus like social media just like sneak Venom it takes control of the whole body. Government should have been trying to control big social media from the beginning but now it’s to late!
and if trump wins it’ll mean online media companies and the internet in general have more influence than the government for the first time in American history.
thx i used ur opion for my homewoork hahahaha thought i would let you know and thx
This is no different than the filter traditional media puts on a story as well. Only difference through the lens of social media is that the politician has the control of what is seen, instead of it being controlled by a 3rd party traditional media outlet.
Great point. I was an opioid addict as a teen, saw that as a good 'in' to being a psychologist, then decided to change to biomedical major. During the pandemic I've started to keep up with news and worry about "politics." People say it's a bad thing, but I say I deserve a future. My also-23-yo cousin died this year from Lyme bc she loved hiking. I'm getting pissed about our future, and that of all life on Earth, being robbed by the greedy fossil fuel oligarchs.
Impresive speech
I agree with some of speaker’s point and a lot of info and perspective are new to me . It’s giving me to think about how relateable in some circumstances . Nice to listen all these points.
You guys ABSOLUTELY gotta invite "" A Call For An Uprising "" this guy will ABSOLUTELY enlighten you on how on politics... It will blow your mind!!!
Victoria love u dear sweetheart god bless u ...welcome
The Howard Dean she speaks of exists no more!
Lmao dude with the blonde hair looking like he doesn’t want to be there. His mom made him go. 1:28
Yass! I loved this! So informative and well presented! Outfit on point ;)
It's hi how are you doing!
Her examples of politicians using social media were Stacey Abrams and Beto O'Rourke. Both of which lost by fairly wide margins. But sure she's on to something...
She looks like future Hilary contender? O.o
The video have 52k views but only 34 comments. Weird how that works.
I wonder if she's a liberal?
Oh hello why is there no comments
Because it sucked.
Incredible! This content is a true masterpiece. I recently read a similar book, and it was an absolute gem. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
That didn't age well!
Yeah, that's all very good. No doubt. But why in the world is she so hung up on Mount Rushmore?
Does she actually truly have a problem with Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and Roosevelt?
Those guys not only deserve to be enshrined in our history but Jefferson and Lincoln deserve to be enshrined not only in the USA, they need mountains in Europe as well!
cringe
Oh geez, could never guess this girl’s political party from this presentation 🤡
Political bias on display right here by this lady.
Ya, although she made some personal view, she is talking mainly about how social media become significant towards politics.
Dude, it's TedX. It's supposed to be a biased opinnion piece.

Thanks to social media, US Government is becoming more accountable. God Bless America and God Bless Donald Trump!
Bless him lord!
