Social media has an extremely large responsibility of getting information out to the public. It is important to recognize what sources to trust and how to gain different perspectives. We need to filter through the content we see in order to learn #lesson13

Freedom of speech and freedom of expression should not be lost through top-down communication. Instead an organization’s goal should be to set boundaries about what topics can be called into question without suppressing opinions #lesson12

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Top-down communication allows organizations to filter through comments and information shared about them. It allows information to get across to the public in a way that they prefer to be represented, so that they can maintain a consistent message #lesson12

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Top- down organization models are used so that the dominant discourse isn’t challenged. #lesson12

When watching videos viewers need to make their own analysis. They shouldn’t blindly take the perspective of others. Therefore, it can be beneficial to watch videos without narrators or journalists clouding our judgement #lesson12

YouTubers do a great job getting messages across to a large audience by being relatable and honest #lesson12

Students need to learn from a young age how to use social media in a positive way, so that important conversations can initiate change and acceptance #lesson12

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Social media provides a great space for dialogue and debate. We need to use it to our advantage #lesson12

It is disturbing to think about what a large influence Disney has on children considering that many stereotypes can be found in the movies. These movies are even considered to be racist and sexist, yet parents continue to allow children to watch them for entertainment #lesson11

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Should Disney be responsible for educating children about issues in the world? #lesson11

Has anyone else's childhood been ruined by the Mickey Mouse Monopoly video? #nomoremagic

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

As I got older and I rewatched The Little Mermaid with my younger cousin, I began to realize that Disney is selling the fantasy of true love, so we don’t even question the fact that Ariel has to completely change herself for Prince Eric #lesson11

Simone de Beauvoir disliked the idea of marriage because she believed that women should not be defined by men or their relationships. She disagreed with the notion that women are destined to get married, have children and run the household. Any thoughts?

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Simone de Beauvoir was an existentialist philosopher who argued that women are unjustly considered to be the “Other”. They are seen are inferior to men and they only gain their reputation through men #lesson10

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Simone de Beauvoir was an extremely courageous and independent woman who wrote “The Second Sex” which discusses the treatment of women throughout history #lesson10

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Although society is improving and becoming more informed, we are far from achieving gender equality #lesson10 #equalpayforequalwork

[Erica Battinieri @EBattinieri]

Many people fail to understand that feminism fights for equal rights for both sexes and does not only concern women. Men can be feminists too! #lesson10

@BruzzeseJulia It is extremely heartbreaking and unfair! #womensdayeveryday

@BeckyEduc307 Lol so true! It has become extremely easy to search for people on the internet, so it is important to be careful with what we post. One of my old teachers would always tell us to clear our Facebook accounts before applying for a job
