WhatsApp App

WhatsApp has changed the way that I communicate with others from all over the world. When I message with others their is text encryption so that our message are safe. WhatsApp was invented by Jan Koum and Brain Acton.WhatsApp is an social media platform that is very popular specifically when traveling to other countries or travel abroad for work. WhatsApp was founded by February 2009. Their are 140 billion messages daily on WhatsApp with India leading users at 535 million active users. (DemandsAge)





WhatsApp was presented as an simple app to be able to update people such as short messages like "Busy at work " or "Feeling great". You are able to see user contact without having to message people individually. There was no direct messaging yet when WhatsApp was created. This was an way to create contacts without having to message before. You still could not type anything other than quick messages. Remember that this was when social media was first invented. WhatsApp made it easy to direct message people. 

The problem that WhatsApp had was miscommunication since people communicate through text can be misinterpret a lot because their is no tone or intention behind it. Due to this problem, their were relationship that fell apart such as dating or friendships. WhatsApp was able to fix this problem by adding an voice message feature so that you can speak to hear how what they are saying in an more clear way. You are also able to get feedback on messages like an thumbs up/down. 

WhatsApp has changed the way that communicate has been done. According to Medium, "WhatsApp, the popular messaging app, is gearing up for a significant update that will bring new ways for users to express their emotions and creativity."(Medium) WhatsApp has changed he way people communicate in an more effective way. Before this messaging the best way to communicate was over the phone. WhatsApp has be very good at direct messaging with friends to be able to get to the point across in the most efficient and expressive approach. You are able to send message 24/7 so that you can sync with friends and family anytime. 

The politics of WhatsApp is shown by political figures and institutions communication, make decision and influence public opinions. The encryption that is in the messages that you send allow for private discussions but can still have issues within accountability or transparency. Their are still leaked messages from political leaders such as Covid-19 pandemic which shows influence governance and public disclosure. WhatsApp is an tool for both benefits and risk as all tools. For example, UK's Covid-19 pandemic that leaked WhatsApp messages between political figures like Boris Johnson revealed private communication that shaped the crisis over the public security and how the government was operating. (NewStateMen) This has been impactful because it has changed WhatsApp from an small social group to making the news. One of the best things about WhatsApp is that people use platform to keep up to date with everyone and make WhatsApp so helpful.

WhatsApp has had an big impact on my life. It us used for different reason from messaging, calling and face call. WhatsApp is one of the most important invention because of these features that are installed in WhatsApp.

Blog Post #3:Eight Values of Free Expression

Twitter Image There are eight values of free expression. The first value is Marketplace of Ideas. This value is important to me because it helps find the easy way to bring to the marketplace. For example, during the debate over climate change policies, there were a lot of different ideas such as climate change policies, various ideas are presented regarding renewable energy sources, carbon taxes, and government regulations. There are different ideas that were talked about but the most effective ways are identifying and implementing, by leading to more sustainable practice and policies.  The value of self-governance is sufficient to me because it helps individuals to be able to participate in shaping their own lives and communities. They are able to do this through free expressions such as citizens saying their opinions for needs or concerns that they have. As well as feeling an need of responsibility for the governance process. This participation helps keep everyone informed a...
