ICT

benefits from being online and not needing any exceeded effort to perform.
Social change
the adjustment in human interactions, changing the established cultural and social constructs, beliefs, and institutions.
include civil rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and labor rights.
Willian Fielding Ogburn
a sociologist, published a theory in 1992 suggesting that technology was the primary driving force of social change and progress, but social responses to it weakened it.
Invention, Discovery and Diffusion
Three (3) stages of technical development according to Ogburn
Invention
the stage wherein new forms of technology are developed.
Discovery
refers to new ways of understanding and perceiving reality.
For example, the discovery of computer technology has changed how people understand aspects of different situations. It has made people realize information that would otherwise be impossible and difficult to acquire, such as events in distant areas.
Diffusion
refers to the spread of technology from the point of discovery to other areas.
For example, computer technology and innovations from America and Europe, from basic calculations to modern computers, were diffused from regions in Asia and Africa. Some adjustments were made in how the culture responded to the invention.

The Role of ICT in Philippine History
EDSA and Cardinal Sin’s call to action via radio broadcast
In 1986, then Manila Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin made an urgent appeal to Filipinos to go to the vicinity of Camp Aguinaldo. He delivered a message on Radio Veritas to appeal to the public to protect holed-up Juan Ponce Enrile and then-Armed Forces of the Philippines Vice Chief of Staff Fidel Ramos.
EDSA II and the use of text messaging to mobile people
a peaceful uprising in 2001 that overthrew Joseph Estrada as president. The impeachment attempts to oust Estrada due to plunder and perjury failed, which led to the beginning of text brigades as it was the quickest and most inexpensive method of communication at the time. It was used to disseminate his corruption- related propaganda, making the revolution successful.
PhilAWARE application for humanitarian response
an application that aims to increase disaster reliance, reduce loss, and facilitate cooperation before, during, and after emergencies. It uses crowd-sourced reporting and government agency validations that let citizens share experiences to help the community make safety and navigation decisions and help disaster management officials effectively prioritize response activities during disasters.
Social media
the best tool for spreading advocacies and causes than other forms of technology.
Its features encourage interaction, such as commenting and sharing, that continue the conversation about which “side” is
right or wrong.
Getting the message across the Internet
First step in achieving social justice.

Black Lives Matter
Me Too Movement
Million People March
Social media movements and trends in recent history
2019 Hong Kong Protests
Over a million Hong Kong residents marched to protest a proposed extradition bill allowing the city government to extradite suspects to mainland China, which concerns Hong Kong residents and visitors being detained in China and subjected to its jurisdiction and legal system.
The residents used social media to share live news feeds and action information about ongoing and upcoming activities as a tool in the battle for public opinion against government-powered agendas.
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
In 2014, the ALS Association organized an ice bucket challenge to raise money and awareness for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, often known as Lou Gehrig's disease).
The challenge includes emptying a bucket of ice water over one's head to raise money for ALS research.
The pouring of ice was meant for those who do not have the disease to feel the intense numbing associated with the disease.
The challenge's nomination method contributed to its social media success.
Black Lives Matter
The movement organized by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi began in 2013 as an online community to combat anti-black racism and police violence targeting African Americans, using the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media platforms.
The hashtag increases in use during protests, demonstrations, speeches, and national discussions or in response to news stories affecting the Black community, such as George Floyd’s unjust death in 2020.
Me Too Movement
The movement is a source of solidarity for women of all backgrounds experiencing sexual harassment by focusing on the experiences of sexual violence survivors everywhere. It reached mainstream awareness in 2017 when high-profile actresses in Hollywood shared their experiences in the film industry and began using the hashtag #MeToo leading to influential individuals facing the justice system.
Million People March
This movement was one of the protests in the Philippines in 2013 calling for abolishing the Pork Barrel fund over the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam led by Janel Lim-Napoles. Calls to protest on August 26, 2013, started on Facebook and Twitter and were considered the first-ever rally organized using social media.

How social media help promotes social justice
Coordinating Community Responses
Social media can create online spaces where people come together and find support, such as creating a space for sharing ideas online that creates unity for a cause.
Platforming Lived Experience
Social justice causes aim to achieve equity for minorities and underrepresented individuals and groups, as their stories and struggles are not often known and publicized. Social media gives a platform to amplify and share these stories with potentially millions of people worldwide.
Sharing Pictures and Videos
Social media is not just a tool for organizing large-scale protests but also for documenting them. The Hongkong protests of 2019 maximized social media by sharing pictures and videos of the events in the demonstrations and protests to redirect the narrative.
“slacktivism” and “cancel culture”
emerged when discussing social media as a platform for change and advocacy
Slacktivism
combines “slacker” and “activism,” referring to simple measures to support a social movement online, such as signing petitions and copying and reposting statuses and images
Cancel Culture
is a divisive idea that can be defined as a way of withdrawing support for public figures or companies over controversial or scandalous acts and can be considered a form of online shaming on social media platforms.
