Analytical Exposition

Introduction

Social media refers to interaction among people in which they create, share, and/or exchange information and ideas in virtual communities and networks. Andreas Kaplan and Michael Haenlein define social media as a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content. Furthermore, social media depends on mobile and web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. It introduces substantial and pervasive changes to communication between organizations, communities, and individuals.

Now social media is very much used by all people, including students. They use social media for a variety of things, there are positive and negative impact. Some are using it to seek knowledge, but there also are using it just to be trendy.

Benefits :

Disadvantages :

Social media has many negative impacts, that negative impacts are can make users lose many of time, can reduce social interaction with the people around him, even cyber crime

Conclusion :

If social media is used in accordance with its real function, then social media can provide many benefits for many people, but if use exceeds the limit and not according to its real function, it can give a lot of negative impact, so it all depends on the awareness of each person, each person must know what social media is used for

History

In 1900, the Franciscan Sisters of Mary opened St. Anthony's Hospital at Grand and Chippewa in south St. Louis. The facility was named after St. Anthony of Padua who patterned his life and healing ministry after the example set by Jesus Christ.

Following St. Louis' first polio epidemic in 1946, St. Anthony's became the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis's (NFIP) designated Midwest Center for polio treatment. In 1947, convalescent polio children under the auspices of the NFIP, later known as the March of Dimes, and its city and county chapters were brought to St. Anthony's. St. Anthony's became one of the country's largest polio rehabilitation centers, treating more than 100 polio patients per day. In 1954, the incidence of new cases of polio tapered off and the hospital began offering twice-yearly Salk polio vaccine clinics.

In 1967, the Franciscan Sisters transferred ownership and control of the hospital to a board of community leaders, making St. Anthony's the first Catholic hospital in the St. Louis area to be administered by a lay board. In 1975, St. Anthony's Medical Center opened at its present location at 10010 Kennerly Road and remains the only hospital located in south St. Louis County.
