We have relied on Social Media for many things in the last month—for information about the Coronavirus, communication with employers, friends, and family, and even for humour to relieve the anxiety we might feel. But as we stay in more and go out less, we may feel that our relationship with Social Media is becoming more and more complicated. It is an important one to examine as it shapes our views of the world and of ourselves. See this 23-minute documentary, called “Social Me,” in French with English Subtitles, to prompt your thinking and rethinking about Social Media and its impact on you and your relationships. Follow it up with conversation with your parent/child about your own relationship with Social Media and an evaluation of its work in your life—the positives and negatives.
