What is a network?
I think Networking is a matter of creating
useful linkages, both within and among communities, organizations, and
societies, in order to mobilize resources and achieve various goals. These
social connections allow individuals, groups, and organizations to find allies,
access tools, share practical wisdom, and build collaborative strategies.
Networking that takes place among individuals
at the local level, there are national networks that bring together local
organizations, religious groups, community groups, trade unions, and hospitals.
Civic engagement is a matter of interaction between civil society organizations
and governments so that they can build constructive relationships and bring
about social, economic, and political change. Likewise, rapid advances in
media, telecommunications, and computer technology have facilitated wide
sharing of information among multiple civil society stakeholders.
Networking thus helps those working for social
change to share resources and information, devise an agenda, and engage in
collective action within their society. This facilitates interaction between
people in different parts of the world and allows them to recognize both their
differences and their commonality.
With
the advancement in technology, communication has grown. It is now easier and
cheap to communicate and connect with people across the world. The issue of
distance is no longer an excuse for lack of communication. Communication systems
have grown from wired devices to wireless devices. The internet has also
brought adverse changes in the forms of communications that are available and
currently being used. It has led the rise of social networks. Here you can
communicate and share your thoughts with many people at the same time. It is
easy to share information like pictures, advertisements, videos and text
messages. To many people, it is perceived as a form of entertainment. However,
being in social sites enhances communication.
In conclution social Networking makes it
possible to reach many people in a very short time. This has led to the
creation of a site that is involved in helping the community. Social sites have
also been involved in social care by spreading the news in cases of danger.
Messages on these sites get to many people in a very short time and this
greatly helps in saving many people from potential danger.
