Instead, they advertise the problem. ]]> 2017-12-07 15:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156575 mackenzie_mahler https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156577 2017-12-07 15:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156577 mackenzie_mahler https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156578 Furthermore, the author also uses exaggeration to create humor. For instance, when the guy brings out his phone, the perpetrator immediately stops what he is doing. the author is overstating the fact that people believe social media helps to resolve problem in order to make the point about what kind of power phones, the internet and social media have over individuals.

He/she would like for people to be less dependent on social media and more dependent on themselves and others.]]> 2017-12-07 15:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156580 mackenzie_mahler https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156582 This is an example of ___(situational)___ irony because even though the audience expected for the bystanders to stick up for the victim and provide him with help, what ends up actually happening is that the bystanders take out their phones to post this event over social media.]]> 2017-12-07 15:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156582 mackenzie_mahler https://padlet.com/mackenzie_mahler/9uscnjn8bh11/wish/214156583 1.  Gender Equality
