In thinking about the body of literature that you will be exploring in your research, what are some of factors that constrain or
encourage male participation and what are some of the factors that constrain or encourage female participation with a) online
engagement; b) social media engagement; c) YouTube? In other words, are there barriers to involvement or factors that support
online use, social media use and YouTube use based on gender. I ask about the three categories of use because there may be
similarities or differences in the usage rates. Do you think that the usage behaviors are impacted by the social or cultural
aspects of the context region or country you are studying? Your response should include relevant literature and share the
perspectives of authors who write about these topics.
