Socially the world has become as one through social networks.
You find people on social networks being more socially involved and influenced. It has become easy to help or find help from any one via social platforms. People ask or share information on social groups and pages. More leaders from different parts of the world are being celebrated and recognized by the public through social platforms.
We gain Skills, opportunities and valuable social relations from most of the best people in the world; We share on each others joys and grieve on losses with those that strengthen us, motivate us and also mentor us daily from near and from distance lands. We find inspiring quotes through social sharing daily from different authors, like Zig Ziglar and Maya Angelou's much loved quotes. We find our selves able to survive a day by reading or sharing their quotes that give many of us, courage and hope through out the days to reach our goals.
The much felt passing of Maya Angelou is one of those socially felt losses as if we've known or met her in her life time. Her voice and comforting words has become part of some of us, so deeply that you find her words comforts you and motivate faith in God; to have courage to be some one great in life despite the obstacles that we overcome.
Introduction Maya Angelou:
"Maya Angelou born Marguerite Annie Johnson; April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014) was an African-American author, poet, dancer, actress and singer. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and several books of poetry, and was credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning more than 50 years. She received dozens of awards and over fifty honorary degrees. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of seventeen and brought her international recognition and acclaim".
During the passing of Tata Madiba Maya Angelou had become like a mother Africa who comforts her children during the time of loss, in our house holds. You would open up your Tv on sabc tv, and find web links on social networks and you hear her comforting sad voice reciting and sharing in our loss of Tata Mandela; as she tells her story in words that "His day is gone".
Her passing not so long after Tata Mandela has become a feeling of a huge loss to those who find her inspiration . Social networks have become a very huge existence in our everyday lives, growing relations with people from different parts of the worlds, social networks continues to introduce these great people like Maya Angelou ;even to date for the benefit of some one who needs inspiration in their life.
The friendships that one builds on the social platforms are strengthened by sharing each others views, interests and likes on group walls and pages. It may be sometimes challenging to believe the originality of some people over social networks, all that determines who is who; is the value and contribution they give towards the growth of others.
The whole wide world shares the feeling of loss and fear instilled by the cruel act of Boko Haram to abduct 272 Chibok schoolgirls in Nigeria. One of the first call to 'bring back our girls' was demonstrated in Sandton, South Africa led by Rosie Motene, with many other demonstrations through out the world. The call to 'bring back our girls' is still happening; as we all hope and pray that the abducted girls will be returned safely to their government and parents.
The Interventions from other parts of the world like the UK, with the involvement of President Barak Obama, to help release the girls gives hope in the returning of the girls; after reports that they have been found kept in a forest in Sambasa.
In some parts of the world its all Joy. The socially shared joy of the world cup in Brazil especially by us here in South Africa, as we reflect back to our very own hosting of the soccer world cup in 2010. It is one of the social joyful gains that will forever build a strong connection of relations within all the countries involved in the world cup.
The South Africans enjoys the specially created morning Tv shows that brings the world cup in Brazil right into our households as we share in all the details about the fashion and the culture of the soccer world cup in Brazil. The shows like 'The streets of Brazil on sabc1' allows South African soccer supporters a chance to enjoy and support the world cup every morning; even though South Africa's Bafana Bafana couldn't make it to the world cup.
Other Countries like the Ivory cost are the interest of the world cup news around the world, with some of their players making waves, the veteran striker Didier Drogba for Ivory Coast along with Yaya and Kolo Toure makes waves in the world cup despite the recent passing of their brother Ibrahim. As a sign for mourning the Ivorians wore black armbands.
Some details of the Brazil world cup is about the tourists that find them selves, have to spend a lot of money just to find a place to sleep in Brazil, as a result they resorted to make sleeping shelters by the ocean beach just between the pine trees on the sand.
Socially this is another way of suddenly you have to share your space with different people from around the world, despite cultures and traditions creating hopefully lasting happy relations for many experiencing it.
Every morning when you check out on google, you seem to share in the feeling itself of people socially sharing a space between pine trees on the sand, google has a socially enhancing way of displaying this view in their daily logo displays.
Despite the good experiences and rewarding relations in the social network world, there is a much destroying side effect of it as well, in the walk of life there are good situations and bad ones too, the path you choose in life can only leave you on either side of the road. It is totally up to a person which values,experiences and standards you choose to uphold to from the social network environment, choose your mentors wisely by following those who have accomplished or live fullfiled dreams, that are simmilar to the one you pursue; for your own success. It is in each one's of us the responsibility to live a good legacy for generations to come. You can easily show your own contribution to the world through social network involvement.
