If the former, social theories suggest that we may bemoving to a world where people have greater access to ideas, information, and opportunists, due to thewider range of people with whom they are in contact, but also to a world where social support is weakerand people’s sense of responsibility for each other is diminished.
In our week 2 module it was mentioned that our assumption in this class is that we are going to assume that because learning is social and influenced by culture, knowledge is constructed with others, not in isolation. With that being said, if we have more access to more information to learn from than we also have access to more people who are influencing this learning. In that case, the social support would not be weak as stated in this quote if I am understanding it correctly. The more knowledge we have to learn means the more people who are sharing their knowledge with us. We will always be connecting with apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc which provide us with information from other which is what makes it social! When someone shares a picture of there new way of using their phone that is sociable knowledge that is being spread in which their friends will learn from!
