Question

In Reading 51 ("Young Women, Late Modern Politics, and the Participatory Possibilities of Online Cultures"), Anita Harris argues that social networking is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it provides women with _______, yet it also encourages women to construct public selves that are based on _______.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) personal and sexual freedom; being on display as a consumer citizen.

Explanation:

Anita Harris's article "Young Women, Late Modern Politics, and the Participatory Possibilities of Online Cultures" delves into how the internet is used by young women in their approach to 'lesser' politics. The article explores the use of social networking sites and the related technologies by these young women as a source or platform for their own in addressing their take on what is politics, especially politics according to young people and young women.

Harris presents her argument that while social media is a good source and platform for these young women to freely express themselves and give them the freedom, be it personal or sexual. It enables them to be free about their opinions and provides them an open platform for their opinions. But at the same time, this very advantage can also encourage them to be viewed as consumer citizens who based their choices on social, economical and ethical aspects.
