It would be a good idea to follow #prostatecancerawareness because it could help you see the symptoms in yourself, your husband, your son, your brother or even your friend. This hashtag can help you save a life or educate others which can help them save a life.



Advantages of social media for #prostatecancerawareness
  ü  Raise awareness about prostate cancer
  ü  Symptoms are readily available online
  ü  Medical question forums for those that don’t always have access to a doctor
  ü  Awareness can help inform people on what actions they should take if they suspect that they have prostate cancer
  ü  Early diagnosis can save a life





Disadvantages of social media for #prostatecancerawareness
  û  Financial exploitation- cancer patients that can’t afford chemo or their medical     expenses often take it to social media to find people or companies willing to         donate, which makes it very easy for scammers to do the same.



Recommendations
I do think this hashtag should be used and spread around the world as there are more advantages than disadvantages. Even though there are more advantages people should be careful when donating to people that claim that they need help with their medical expenses as they could become victims of a scam. One should also clarify with their doctors about information they come across and believe to be true with a registered healthcare professional. This is an interactive blog, so feel free to comment on anything you like.

#Abortionrights
The topic of abortions has sparked quiet a controversy in these past years, with many people against it and many for it. It even goes as far as government officials making it illegal for women to have (safe and hygienic) abortions in certain countries. South Africa happens to be one of the fortunate countries that don’t have bad debates or disputes against abortions and abortions have been legal since 1st February 1997. So many people are blinded by their beliefs and values that they fail to see that an abortion is a woman’s right and many settle for abortions because of circumstances.
