@Madison47362222 I am excited to listen to your podcast! Ours is broken into individual segments so I am excited to see the other ways that groups made their podcast flow! #COMM2870
@amonrage I also enjoyed the URT! I was glad my podcast group chose the uncertainty reduction theory because it allowed me to expand my knowledge on the theory! #COMM2870
Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that everyone stays safe as healthy this year! I am thankful to not have lost a loved one to the pandemic this year and, I am praying for everyone who has. #GodBless#wildcard#COMM2870
My favorite theory that we have covered this semester is probably the agenda-setting theory. I like it because it makes a lot of sense to me, and it provides meaning to how social media and even larger media can control the way the public views the world. #COMM2870
When I worked at a retirement home, I had to practice accommodation for some of their communication styles. It was often non-assertive accommodation where I was trying to dispel stereotypes. Because I acted like myself and I wasn’t “immature” or “stupid” they loved me #COMM2870
When Tucker Carlson goes way out of his way and avoids key facts to support Donald Trump he loses face. I experience second hand embarrassment when I watch his show because he is so clearly lying #COMM2870
@Abbi95347187 I am also fortunate to have parents who are hard working and successful and they have always provided everything that I have ever needed. My parents have always stressed a strong work ethic and I think it is important to remain grateful and not to become spoiled #COMM2870
@lauren_hite143 I agree! I normally don’t struggle communicating with the other gender and I will talk to anyone as well! I think it is important to give everyone a chance to speak for themselves before you cast any judgment upon that person! #COMM2870
When I communicate with people of the opposite gender I often feel like I am a teacher. I try to never push my ideas on anyone but if they show interesting the same ideas as me then I try to explain my position or thought process on the issue or topic. #COMM2870
My social location is predominantly middle class and always has been. My parents have shown me the value of hard work and earning everything that you have. I try my best to never take anything for granted and to always be grateful for what I do have. #COMM2870
We did it! Now the country can begin to heal! Remember to love your neighbor and treat everyone with respect! I’m proud to be an American! #BidenHarris2020#wildcard#COMM2870
@FranklinLianna When you’re sick and stuck on the couch your phone is your only escape, so I totally relate using multiple social media apps to pass the time. I also relate to the random question or two per day😂 google is the human race’s best friend! #COMM2870
@amonrage I agree, agenda-setting theory is definitely still relevant and prevalent, especially with Facebook. There are always ads that are populated specifically for the user based on their preferences and previous searches. Social media may have changed AST but it still exists #COMM2870
@ssarahwilt I like to watch the news on every channel too! In times like these you never know who to trust, so I try to take in information from every angle and form my own opinion. Sometimes it is so sad to see how divided the country is based on Fox vs CNN.. #COMM2870
I believe that the agenda-setting theory is still relevant today because social media platforms funnel attention to the topics that are most relevant to the user. I have seen gatekeeping on YouTube - videos that you may like pop up based on what you’ve watched before #COMM2870
