For PLN, I think it must have diversity because pln is originally PLN is a global online community and PLN has unlimited openness. It can share each other’s ideas, and resources, with scholars from all over the world. When one’s PLN has some diversity, it will enrich the ideas and resources that one wants to share, and it will also attract more people to communicate and discuss with you. It also allows for better development of the pln.
Secondly, digital identity is the most important part of PLN because digital identity is our identity on the web, and this identity includes your identity on chat software (WeChat, messaging) or the identity you want to show to others on various social software (YouTube, Ins, Facebook). These identities will allow you to meet all kinds of people, and when all these software are integrated into the PLN, a rich and diverse PLN will be formed.
I try to enrich my PLN as much as possible, enrich my social media, because I think that one person’s opinion can never be accepted by everyone, so I share my opinion and welcome others to comment, I read other people’s suggestions carefully, and I may discuss ideas with others. For the results of PLN’s study I think it was very successful because I have a lot of social media and these social media helped me to meet a lot of friends before different countries in the world, and we would share our opinions together, right or wrong, and we would all give each other enough inclusiveness.
For the real world, social media is the most convenient and common way for people to communicate. But social media can also face many challenges, such as the problem of information authenticity, and the increasing number of online fraud in recent years, leading to a growing distrust of social media. And, because there are a variety of people posting different opinions on social media, some people use malicious language to attack others in order to amplify their different opinions, resulting in “cyber violence”. From this point of view inclusiveness needs to be improved, and in order to have a good PLN and social media environment, we need better regulation.
Hello Chengzhen,
I am intrigued by your words of “unlimited openness”, in your perspective, do you think this is a good thing or bad thing? In other words, although social media gives us access to more resources and help us to connect to more people, do you think we should have some regulations on how we use social media? For example, unlimited openness might face issues such as privacy etc.
