The group whos project was “Fake News in Social Media” made me think that has the increase in technicology simultaneously increased the amount of fake news? #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

It was evident that each group that presented on Wednesday, did not find much credible information on the authors, gaining no ethos which hurt the article’s trustworthiness. We have talked about logos, ethos, and pathos since the beginning of the semester. #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@alanacouch24 I agree! I think it would be interesting to show more depth on who had the first fake news article that gained lots of publicity.

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@stellapurkey I think the title of an article is very critical in what audience they attract! This is a good strategy to use.

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

Gray's article further emphasizes that the confusion with facts has been a problem beginning with our ancestors, which explains why people believed the earth was flat. It is hard to know what the truth is when we live in complex societies https://t.co/1X4rvesiby #RHUB100

In Soll's article, I was intrigued by how certain stories can blowup and have some much publicity but a similar story does not get as much attention. What makes certain stories more enticing to readers? #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@OglesbyBella I think Bella bring up a good point. People in society do not like to be wrong, therefore this makes them believe their own truths #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

In the article, "Why We Believe Alternative Facts" by Kristen Weir, she mentions that when the fact is unfavorable we are more prone to not believe it which adds to Anderson agruement that it is easier for us to believe a fantasy. #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@caitlyn_c3 I agree! with the increase in technology, as a society, we have been more prone to believe fantasy.

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

Anderson uses many anecdotal storis in relation to how people now are less likely to believe the facts and reason with fantasy which strengthens his argument because its easy for the reader to understand #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@1ovemack I like how you mentioned the ethos! I also noticed this.

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

In both articles, the author was trying convince the reader that aliens are not realistic especially because there was no evidence to back it up, “I could spend all week trying to counteract every incorrect assertion.” #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

Class Discussion Question:
In what ways are Anderson’s and Carr’s style of writing similar and in what ways do they contrast? #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@LaineyStiefvat1 I think this is a good point! Carr uses different mathematicians and scientists with credible opinions to further his argument. He does not mention the opposing side because it would weaken his argument.

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

Carr’s article is in the first point of view which is effective because the tone is more relatable for the reader. He also includes information from respectable, educated people like Alan Turing, Joseph Weizenbaum, and Lewis Mumford which creates a stronger argument. #RHUB100

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@LanieRws I agree, I think he should have had more ethos showing his credibility.

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

In Anderson’s agrueement he has a strong opionion of how society has not changed in the last 20 years. It is not evident who the intended audience was or what he was trying to change our opinion about, I think his agrueement is weak.

[Alex Darling @Adarling66]

@andydyerr Andy brings up a good question! People reading different agruments is good to get different perspectives but after reading them, we should than create our opinion from the ideas we read. #RHUB100
