Exam Tips - Cultural & Privacy Issues
Key points for exam success:
- Show awareness of multiple perspectives - discuss questions need balanced answers
- Know both active and passive digital footprints
- Use real examples - mention specific platforms or events if relevant
- Understand difference between echo chambers (people) and filter bubbles (algorithms)
Common exam mistakes to avoid:
- Only mentioning negative impacts - social media has both benefits and risks
- Confusing digital footprint (your trail) with privacy (control of data)
- Vague answers - "social media is bad" needs specific examples like addiction, cyberbullying
- Not explaining WHY digital footprint matters (employers check, affects reputation)
