What do you take for granted or assume about sharing? I take for granted the power of what we share on social media.  I use to assume that when we share content, it would only been seen within our friends and family.  I would never have imagined that when I shared a video on Tik Tok of my father showing off his tattoos to someone while he was waiting in the doctorʻs office, that video would go viral and be shared across multiple users.    For some reason, that video connected with a lot of people.  The comments from the video included, "a genuine soul," "Theyʻre having a connection," "What is his star sign," and countless others.  People related to the interaction my dad was having with this lady as being genuine and an organic connection of two people interacting. Here is the a screenshot of the my video that went viral on Tik Tok What exactly are you focused on about sharing? I am focused on sharing content that is interesting and resonates with users. ...

I understand "remixing content"  to mean content that is recycled in a way that is made to be relevant in today ʻs society. In other words,  “remixing content” is a collaborative effort of content creators pairing with technology to change materials in a way that feels new. An example of "remixing content" would be  music artist Latto, recently sampled a song from Mariah Carey ʻs hit single “Fantasy” off her 1995 Daydream album.  Mariah Careyʻs single was a sample from 80ʻs group Tom Tom Club 1982 song “Genius of Love.”   The purpose of the assignment is  to understand that “remix content” is nothing new and has always been a part of our culture.  Majority of our favorite artists, businesses, and social media influencers use “remix content” for their work.  “Remix content” is shared and created daily and spread globally.  The key question at the heart of the assignment is  have you ever created “remixed content” before?

  very good - NBC News - Fake News: Lies spread faster on social media than truth does only partially trustworthy - Black Hills Pioneer -What if you had to rely on social media for news?   probably untrusthworthy - The Guardian -Facebook rolls out campaign to fight misinformation before Australian election The similarities between all three articles mentioned that fake news spreads faster on social media than factual news.  In the article from NBC News, Sinan Aral of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,  wrote in the journal Science , "Falsehood diffused significantly farther, faster, deeper, and more broadly than the truth in all categories of information, and the effects were more pronounced for false political news than for false news about terrorism, natural disasters, science, urban legends, or financial information."  The article from Black Hills Pioneer talks about how someone was getting ready for an election, and misinformation about him was sprea...

It's easy to research fake news and propaganda as we can find multiple websites such as fact-checking websites such as Snopes and Politifact. As Ben Domenech states in his article, "Fake News Is a Symptom, Not the Cause," we can also use search engines such as Google and Wikipedia to look up content to ensure we're getting accurate information. But seeing as we all know that there is tons of fake news, so the next question is how do we go about finding biased information to prevent what's being published from being fake? First of all, being able to distinguish biased information from genuine content. For example, If I was to put out an article stating that Donald Trump lied in his autobiography by saying he graduated from Wharton School of Finance when he did not graduate from Wharton. Perhaps this may be a problem because I don't prove that he did not graduate from Wharton School, but maybe another person has specific proof or even just common knowledge that ...

First Level An amazing number of people think they are realistic, more down-to-earth,  and more practical if they are willing to lie routinely and frequently about what they think and do. It could be said that all human communications carry hidden agendas.  At the very surface of every conversation, there is a sense of bullshit in one form or another. Practical and idealistic people say what they think and do, whether or not they think and do "good things." But the majority of human beings are not practical or realistic. They are not only capable of lying--they are lying all the time. They lie to themselves deeply enough to be mindlessly obedient to anything they are told is "the will of God," or is for some other sacred purpose. They lie because they want their lies respected. Second Level The paragraph's main point is to acknowledge that we as humans have a hard time admitting to our bullshit.  It is easier for us to feel validated in our thoughts and how we c...

Simple.  Less is more.   By uncovering the key topic, and using the least amount of words to explain the core value.  Analogies, schemas, and proverbs help illustrate this.   Unexpected.  What your audience didnʻt see planned.   When you think outside the box and create thought-provoking questions, this will leave your audience questioning your topic and want to know more about it.  Unexpected creates a need for information.   Concrete.  Make it stick in your audience's mind.   When an idea is too farfetched, it creates disinterest.  Providing details that your audience can retain and remember later will help make your idea seem real and tangible.  Visual representations are an excellent way to paint a picture around your topic.   Credible.  Trustworthy resources.   Your audience will be more convinced to trust your idea if reputable people back it.  Seeing is believing and if we see...

Avoid All Problems and Use Public Domain Images Many people might have a misconception of what public domain images websites offer. Some might believe those sites only provide random images that are low quality. That is not the case. You can find a vast selection of high-quality photos specific to your needs and do not require any attribution, so don’t run the right to use a copyrighted image. Websites like shutterstock and picmonkey are examples of public domain images websites. Just be sure to check the website's terms if attribution is necessary and follow the required format.      1.       The main point of this paragrah is that there are tons of options available online to use high quality images that are of public domain use and does not require attribution. 2.       In other words, just because someone posts an image online, does not give us the right to use that image for our personal use.    If there is ...
