Xingjie/have the new media changed our lives for the better?
The new media has changed our lives for the better as it allows us to organize social movements for the benefit of everyone. With the introduction of new media such as Facebook, YouTube and twitter, it has allowed user generated content to be uploaded and posted online in mere seconds. This thus makes it easier for the public to organize social movements as they are able to reach out to a wide range of audience in a short period of time, gathering support for their cause. One example is the Free Hugs Campaign, a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. The hugs are meant to be random acts of kindness, performed just to make others feel better. It aims to make the world a much happier place to live in. Hence, the new media has indeed changed our lives for the better as it allows for the easy implementation of social movements to benefit the public and society as a whole.

Yes, you have answered the question :D However, maybe you can elaborate more on the benefits (other than the ease of organising social movements) such as the fact that ordinary people on the street can now try to make a difference without the help of advertising in the mass media or the backing of famous celebrities.
