THE SOCIAL NETWORK MOVIE QUESTIONS' ANSWERS

THE SOCIAL NETWORK MOVIE

1. Mark really wanted to become one of the elite people. As a result of this, he became a bit of brassy to his girlfriend that made her decide to end their relationship which Mark was not prepared for.
2. Mark got in trouble for creating FaceMash because he broke the Harvard University's software which has all the student's information such as their pictures and used it for his website.
3. When Mark created one of his sites that is dedicated to music and can be downloaded for free instead of selling it to Microsoft for millions of dollars, it just proves that Mark is not doing all these websites to make money, but because he loves doing it.
4. HarvardConnection is dedicated only for students who go to Harvard University unlike MySpace and Friendster they're both open publicly. In order for anyone to use HarvardConnection, one must have an account from school.   
5. Mark was sure a smart guy, but he didn't have a lot of friends back then. He created facebook so that elite people would know him. Mark's motivation is different to the Winklevoss twins because he was really dedicated on this website. He was giving most of his time every day to complete and perfect his website, unlike the twins, they were all just about planning.
6. Mark and Eduardo's friendship is brother-like. They tell each other things they are concern about. They go out with girls together and ask each other for help. Unfortunately, it stopped. It was because of Mark. When he betrayed his friend by almost kicking him out of the company. He was the reason why Eduardo's share dropped to 0.4%.
7. Mark got the idea about including relationship status on Facebook profiles when his friend asked him about the girl he likes and Mark told him that how would he know. There's not like a tag on her that says if she's taken or not. So, he added the relationship status on facebook so that when someone checks someone else's profile, they would know their relationship status.
8. Mark didn't want to put advertisements on Facebook because he said that it's not cool.
9. Mark decided to expand the sites to other schools after his meeting with Erica. It seems like he wanted to prove Erica something because he felt insulted about what Erica told him.
10. People are drawn to the idea of broadcasting their personal life on the internet because they want to express what they feel. The Internet is like some sort of diary. People put whatever go to their heads without actually realizing that a lot of people are seeing it.
11. Typed words are powerful because you can never remove things that you put out on the internet as soon as people see it. You may have deleted it on the social media, but never in the minds of people who have seen it. People are tempted to misuse the power of the internet because it is the easier way of releasing out the anger or other emotions other than telling it to a friend because they can argue with you if you are wrong. 
12. Sean Parker is an entrepreneur who founded Napster, a popular music player/ downloader years ago. He was the one who helped Mark by introducing him to big companies who are behind the  application or website and helped improve Facebook company.
13. The themes of coolness and money are the key themes in this movie. These are the most important things to Sean Parker and he knows he can convince Mark that he can make him the richest and most popular person. Mark initially did not seem motivated by money, but that changed. They were once nerds and now they had power, women, etc. This made them cool.
14. Facebook encourages us to define ourselves. We create profiles so that we can identify ourselves with a certain group or groups of people. For example, where we live, go to school, work and who we hang out with. People look at profiles and posts and make assumptions about people based on those things even without really knowing them.
15.  Mark cheat on his Art class final exam using Facebook by creating a page because they have a Postwar Art exam and he hasn’t been going to school. The page enables him to post the pictures of the painting, that they need to write something about, and people comment about it, there will be a great debate, and through that he could get the answers for it.
16. The Winklevoss twins were finally convinced to sue Mark for intellectual theft when they learned that Facebook is already expanding like in Cambridge, Oxford, and others.
17. Eduardo is Mark’s best friend and he gave Mark money. Eduardo has the right to mistrust Sean because he likes to party.  Increasingly dissatisfied with Eduardo, Mark decides to push him out of the company. To do so he does a major stock issue, increasing the total number of shares of Facebook stock available. While he, Moskowitz, and Thiel all get more shares of stock, Eduardo retains the same number of shares he originally had. Since there are more overall shares this means that Eduardo controls far less of the company than he did originally. Eduardo's share of the company went from 33%, second only to Mark's 51%, down to an insignificant 0.03%, effectively removing him as a power within the company. This enraged Eduardo and he sued Mark, settling for an undisclosed amount of money out of court and having his name restored as co-founder of the site.
18. The film makes Mark look like a self-centered, unemotional person. He seems to care for his ex-girlfriend Erica but he constantly insults her. He doesn’t seem to understand that he is obnoxious and that other person may not care about all the money he has or being in the most elite group.
19. My experiences with Facebook has been great because it helps me connect with other people instantly and it’s an easy way to communicate with other people. The benefits of it’s easier to talk to other people even if they’re far away from you. A drawback of Facebook might be the privacy because they can access everything you have posted on Facebook even your messages.
20. Facebook has had a huge impact on our culture because it is the way most people communicate. If you are not on Facebook you will feel like you don’t know what’s going on. Since Facebook is the easiest way to reach a large group of people, most people use it to plan parties. If you are not on Facebook you will feel disconnected or may be excluded from events. I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t use Facebook even though some people prefer to use different social media.
21. I really enjoyed the film. The film made me feel sad for Mark. Even though the film shows how he becomes the youngest billionaire, I think the film portrayed Mark as a very shallow and unhappy person and a bit mad because he betrayed his friends
