Our first activity on how to make use of time offline and online. In small groups, Students listed out what they mainly use their time on and both parties male and female listed out their activities. Interestingly, every group mentioned Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, twitter most common platforms to post, share comment and get the latest gossips...Social medias being platforms for inciting violence, propagating hatespeech, and spreading propaganda and discriminative messages or posts on a particular group, this led to concerns about posts concerning a specific a group and the discussion further raised questions on how safe is the internet or this platforms for use?
