QUESTION 2

2.1       Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow.

                  WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION AND TIKTOK* JOIN FORCES

          The World Health Organisation (WHO) is trying to reach as many people as
          possible with accurate information on the Covid-19 pandemic. They have
          partnered with various social media platforms, such as TikTok, to stop the
          spread of misinformation occurring online.

          The World Health Organisation is working towards:
             Containing the spread of the virus
             Advising people on measures to take to protect themselves from the virus
             Directing people to the organisation's website and social media platforms
              for additional information on the virus

          Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are also being used by the WHO to
          fight off misinformation. The WHO is convinced that TikTok will effectively
          communicate informational content on the pandemic based on its current
          worldwide popularity.
          *TikTok – a social media networking platform consisting of video clips

                                                                     [Adapted from www.theverge.com]

          2.1.1      From the case study above, state the World Health Organisation's
                     main role in the Covid-19 pandemic.                                                  (2)

          2.1.2      Name TWO social media platforms (apart from TikTok) that the
                     World Health Organisation is using to update the global nation on
                     the virus.                                                                           (4)

          2.1.3      Explain TWO reasons why the World Health Organisation is
                     confident that joining forces with TikTok will assist in educating the
                     world on the virus.                                                                  (4)

             under widespread lockdown

                                     SOCIAL MEDIA DISPUTE

          Mr Williams, an employee at a well-known hotel, made frequent references to
          his workplace as the 'Hotel from Hell' on social media. He was reported to the
          hotel management by his 'social media friend' (who also happened to be his
          work colleague) for being in violation of the hotel's code of conduct, which
          included a strict social media policy. The colleague also accused Mr Williams
          of negatively influencing other staff members who were also his online
          friends.

          Mr Williams was given written warnings, but continued to make comments
          about how he disliked where he worked – even though the hotel was not
          mentioned by name. He failed to stop posting adverse (insulting) comments
          and even made harassing and bullying social media comments against the
          colleague he suspected of reporting him. After an internal disciplinary hearing,
          Mr Williams was immediately dismissed as a result of his social media
          postings.
                                                                       [Source: Own source]
