The social dilemma film is talking about a social problem existing in present, in our life. Is talking about social media problem. The film shows us how huge and dangerous it can be effects abuse the social media nerwork. The film also presents the structure of social media witch their creators talking about.
In the film most of my attencion atract when the creators said how for example Facebook, Instagram or You Tube earn money since they are free and I think is the part I like the most.
The social dilemma film gets kinda boring when the creators tell us how the algorihtm works, because I don’t like maths problems.
The informations witch shocked me is the moment when I think about how much people care aboutthe opinion of others and what the consequences is.
Many of informations are usless for me and lot of the allowed me that the world is going in bad curse.
After watching the social dilemma film I feel addicted and I must to change some of my hobbits. I will start using my phone less than two hours a day and don’t use it before sleep and when I wake up. I think is important to start using to not be addicted.

The Social Dilemma film is interview with people who worked for a different social media. They saying how mechanism in social media works, how dangerous are them and what social media did with us.
In this film I like interviews. If information from movie would told by a random person it's not shocked me and didn't interest me. Generally I like it with what commitment, takeover and emotion these people say.
In film I don't like directed fragments (when we see a teenage boy and his family). In my
opinion they are unreal. I think that situation happens in real life but seldom and it's a rare situation, this is only my opinion.
The information which shocked me is statistics about self-harm among teenagers. Since when social media were made, the number of teenagers who self-harm are growth. Shocked me how much growth number of self-harm teenager at the age of 10-14 years old, because they are very young people.
I don't know whether I will change my habits in social media. I use them only when I'm bored or I have nothing to do, but I don't use them long, because after a few minutes I don't see things whose interesant me.

Movie „The social dilemma” shows us terryfing truth about today’s world. It’s a film which make us aware that almoust everyone is addicted to the Internet and this is one of the biggest problem in our society. In the movie we can see how using phone way too much can affect our life. What I liked about this film is how it educates people especialy young. I think is’s importanat to share that kind of informations. I also enjoyed interviews with creators and employees who worked for Instagram, Facebook or Google, because they are one of the people that know the truth and in my opinion it’s great that they decited to share their knowledge with us. The only thing I didn’t realy like about the movie is part with actors and plot, because I think it was realy chaotic and it was hard to get any information from it. In my opinion this parts just don’t fit in this movie. The information that shooked me the most was that so many young people harm themselfs and that so many people have sucidal thouhgts because of other people in the Internet. After I watched this film I realised how huge and popular corporations use us to ern money. This movie make think about how much of my life I’m spending using phone and I realised that I should change some of my habits and definitely limit time I spend on my phone.

The Social Dilemma is a film explaining the problem with the emergence of social media like Facebook, Instargram and Pinterest, which control us through advertising for example. Former employees of these platforms make us aware of the problem and tell us what to do to stay out of control.
In this document I liked the most how the designers of the original versions of the platforms explained how today's free sites make huge money on us by simply using the phone. I didn't like the fragments with family in the film. In my opinion, their behavior was a bit exaggerated, but it made you think. The moment that shocked me the most was the fragment showing how much attention some people pay to such things as the amount of comments under the post, hearts or like's. The information that will come in handy in the future is certainly to stop doing what the platform wants from us, i.e. clicking on the proposed ads. It may be in a sense a fight against corporations. After this movie I will want to change my habits like for example reaching for the phone less rarely.

The film „The social dilemma” is a documentary-drama. It talks about the dangers of social media, and how humans are influenced by it.
I like that the film included people, that worked in social media companies, because they know the topic well.
I also like that at the end they told us, what we should do, to do better, because it is important for us to know how to start changing. I did not really like the drama parts of the film, as they were often exaggerated, for example, three people controlling what we see on our screens.
The information that shocked me was the suicide and self-harm ratios. It was horrifying seeing them go higher and higher. For me, the useful information were guides, about what we should do to stop using our phones so much. I am going to change my social media habits, since I have seen how much damage they can do.

"The social dilemma" is a movie, which shows us a good point of the world and our society.
This movie is telling us how we are manipulating and controlling by the social media.
"The social dillema" shows a structure of a social media,how the algorihtm works and how personalized are ads.
It is a little bit of scary, how google is track down us.
In my oppinion the film was very usefull, but the film had a boring moments with this "storytime".
This is just drear.For me that was unnecessary.For a digression the interviews was intresting.I like moments,when ex-workers were
talking about how google,facebook or instagram are earning money on us.
There aren't any information,which very shocked me. I think i was aware about these things to some degree.
For me I cant change my habits on social media from day to day.But anybody dont know. T
he one thing is sure. I will try to change it.

The film ,,The social dilemma” was about problems young people. The film showed teenegers addiction of social media. Young girls are prone on the hate in internet. I liked on ,,The social dilemma” interviews with people who spoke the truth about situation of young people and how our decision influence on the earnings companies which we are products. In my opinion I didn’t like when showed that people believed everything they saw on the screen. It was true but I didn’t like it. Shocked me the scene on ,,The social dilemma” when showed statistics about suicides and mutlations teenegers on different age. This scene shocked me because showed me how much young people need acceptance on social media. Every information were interesting and useful. After watching this film I will start use less my smartphone. I want to control my addiction to social media.

"The Social Dilemma" is a film about the problem of addiction to social media. The film also shows us the statistics, among others suicides of girls and boys taking into account age. I really liked the inserts in which former employees from companies such as Google, Instagram or Facebook told us how these applications work, thanks to which we are sometimes not distracted from the screen. They also talked about how to avoid these applications. I didn't like only the directed fragments of the plot in the film, because in my opinion they were unnecessary. I was shocked by the information that applications treat us like goods and sell us unscrupulously with various advertisements, I did not think that this is how these applications earn. It is very useful for me to be informed about the restriction of the use of these applications, as some families break up as a result. Thanks to this video, I understood how harmful these applications are to me and I will try to limit my use of them as much as possible.

The film "The social dilemma" was about problems people with social media. In this film we can see how to how to get rid of addiction gradually. In the movie, I really enjoyed the interviews. In interviews they saying about my habits. Thanks to this I found out what I was doing wrong. I don't like in this movie only a part with actors. In my opinion that was bad directed. Shocked me information about this that people so much so looking at thier look. For me information about this that platform like Facebook or Instagram have got control at us. I want to change in my life a habit about my phone, I very like to spent a lot of time on mobile phone. Now I want to reduce a hours in front of screen.
