This film relates to my current situation in college because now and days teenagers get influenced by peer pressure to do things that aren't right, such as partying,drinking, smoking, and doing drugs. Many students believe doing these things will make you "fit in." I believe many also think that's just the college life, and if you don't do any of these things you aren't "cool." This film also showed that peer pressure and deceit are what you mostly confront yourself during your college years, and this is what sometimes makes us commit mistakes, but i also think that makes us learn our lessons on a daily basis. I believe the filmmakers showed that friendship can also be betrayal, and dishonest when someone is jealous of one another. It causes the other person to react and commit something against the other person because of anger as well. Another thing they showed was the importance of life choices and how they can affect your life, such as when Mark decided to publish the website behind his friends back and didin't care about what he was going to go through. It was a decision he had make that caused alot him alot of trouble. As for their ethics, many had different perspectives on their decisions and actions, the film presented many of their ethics as strong and fair, such as the Winklevosse's believed it was unfair what Mark had done they believed justice should be done, and Eduardo also believed the right thing should be done the fair way.
Eventhough all the characters in the film had their reason to be the way they were they all deserved justice. It was tough deciding who I would empathize the most since they all had their good side as well. I would have to say I empathized eduardo the most! Eduardo was a great friend in the movie and he ended up getting betrayed. He was fair at all times and I believe he didin't deserve getting backstabbed by Mark and he was always there for him. He had also put effort into making Facebook work the way it should and it wasn't right how they played him at the end. He did have the right to fight for what was his in this case it wasn't fair what they had done to him. Mark was a good friend too, but wasn't considerate when it came to lowering the percentage of Eduardos' part. He also didin't give him the amount of attention needed in this case he replaced him with Sean.
In the end I feel Mark Zuckerberg was a hero to many teenagers in that time. Today he is a hero for mostly everyone worldwide. His network was a success! It has provided multiple choices to connect with people around the world. I think Mark wasn't a bad person, he was just dedicated to creating something no one would ever think of, and he knew he was capable of creating it! He basically got carried away by everything, and was motivated by an idea that someone brought to his head. By him stealing an idea from another person doesn't make him a villian because he didin't necessarly commit a crime, he just decided to come up with a network that would help communicate students in an easier way. Today he is greatly recognized, and for me i believe he was a hero in creating that brilliant site. Now i can keep in contact with most of my family outside the U.S, and meet new people from around the world!
