The main message of this article is to show that social media can be used as a helpful resource. The author is telling the story of a girl named Marissa Meizz who had some friends who excluded her from a party and someone made a tik tok that went viral saying they needed to find Marissa because she was excluded. She then made a tik tok to show it was her, and thousands of people reached out inviting her to things and asking to be friends. She thought of ways to help people who are lonely, and decided to make an event where all sorts of people can come together to meet new people and make new friends. The persuasive technique that is used in this article is a personal experience. Our group agrees with the message of this article, social media was being used for a good thing. ]]> 2022-02-15 22:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ccotes/Bookmarks/wish/2049694969 https://padlet.com/ccotes/Bookmarks/wish/2049697321 The author of this article, Margaret Renkl, suggests that it is harmful to make posts about your significant other or gifts you’ve gotten them. Margaret attempts to use emotional points and relatability to convey her point of the harmfulness of sharing your relationships. Our group disagrees with the article. We all unanimously agreed that we were unlikely to/wouldn’t compare ourselves to people we saw on social media, and we most likely wouldn’t think about it. In conclusion, this article by Margaret Renkl is an interesting article that uses several different persuasive techniques, but we believe that they are used ineffectively or the points are untrue.

And preventing kids from roaming and talking to strangers. The main persuasive technique is personal experiences because the target audience of this article was able to roam around. Our group mostly disagrees with this point, because this article disagrees with stranger danger. But teens do still need face to face interaction and to get outside.]]> 2022-02-15 23:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ccotes/Bookmarks/wish/2049700010 https://padlet.com/ccotes/Bookmarks/wish/2049700505 The main focus is the article is arguing the mental health of kids if they were given a social media targeted towards their age group, but we feel as though they are focusing on the wrong issues this could cause, even if they were to not develop and Instagram for children, the same mental issues would persist. The real problem of making an Instagram specified for kids 13-years and younger would be predators on the internet. The physical safety of children on the internet would lessen. Yes, they state that there would be regulations made specifically for parents to use, but those will most likely be easily by passed.

It says that adults and children are both narcissistic. It explains that babies express their emotion through screaming and crying and they constantly demand attention. On the other hand, adults express their emotion through posting online.

It Was a Thing." By Taylor Lorenz. The main point of the article is that tiktok is a helpful tool used at school, uses in school has its practical uses and will be helpful down the road in education. some of the persuasive methods used are that the used some real testimonials from people. Personally, we disagree with this article, because social media isn't really a place for education to occur, and might be more of a distraction, rather than helpful.

Twenge talk about how phones should be put away during school hours to create less distractions for students. The techniques they use in this article is logos. They use statistics and facts from studies that have been done to persuade readers about how students using their phones to go on social media is a huge distraction. As a group we agree to disagree with this article because schools will never be able to fully get rid of social media or technology from students, instead teachers and schools should embrace it and find new ways for students to learn from it. ]]> 2022-02-15 23:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ccotes/Bookmarks/wish/2049708088 https://padlet.com/ccotes/Bookmarks/wish/2056043329 The article “How to Deal With a Crisis of Misinformation” by Brian Chen talks about how “dangerous” false information and memes can be and that they “ cause us to commit violence”. They talk about the Coronavirus and the Elections to give us examples we’d relate with. They also talk about how dangerous it is using words like violence, doomscrolling, and manipulation to get across how terrible and dangerous they think misinformation is. While I see what they’re getting at, any possible danger feels blown out of proportion. However I’m not the target audience and the fact that some people will just straight up believe anything is a point that has to be considered. While we know to fact check immediately and have ways to verify things we hear some people don't and this can lead to some “danger”.]]> 2022-02-18 23:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ccotes/Bookmarks/wish/2056043329
