@EmergingSocial1#CO575 After reading this weeks reading Disability Perspectives on Social Media, I was able to see both sides of each argument and the positives and negatives. I understand that memes are suppose to be funny, but you can create a funny one that isn’t offensive.
What I really took away from this reading, as to think before you speak goes with think before you create/post on social media. Some things may hurt and offend others, while others may think it’s funny. It’s really important to think how much your post, creation, and/or meme may
@ssdagostino@EmergingSocial1@EmergingSocial1#CO575 Hi Samantha, I agree with your post. I understand memes are suppose to be funny but there are certain things that aren’t funny and are offensive. People need to be both careful and mindful on what topics they engage in, and what they share/post.
@ssdagostino@EmergingSocial1@EmergingSocial1#CO575 I agree how this is extremely disturbing and can definitely ruin the reputation of others. Things do travel fast through technology and media and certain stuff can have a huge affect on someone’s personal life. This does go back to ethical choices.
to the flames”. This app is really bringing women down and adding even more problems. We really do need to focus on the ethics of creating and sharing media tools.
@EmergingSocial1#CO575 This was my first time ever hearing about the DeepNude app. This is extremely disturbing on how someone can create something like this, this also shows the ways in how technology can be/make things disturbing. I always knew about photoshopping and filters
because they are very popular tools but to swap women’s clothes for highly realistic nude bodies is something I never heard of and is deeply wrong. I do agree from the article that “the image-based sexual abuse of women already existed as a problem. Now deepfakes are adding fuel
@mink_emma @comm670 @comm670 #COMM670 Hi Emma, great job in explaining how each article differentiates from another, as one being a primary piece of scholarship and the other being a secondary piece of scholarship.
@comm670 #COMM670 In the research article by Zeitlow and Sillars, they conducted their own research and analyzed “conversations involving young, middle-aged and retired married couples to shed on the characteristics of communication with older marriages” (Zeitlow & Sillars, page
223). They provided their own original data, discussions, and codes. This original research article is a primary piece of scholarship. In the reading by Bakalar, Bakalar uses research from other sources to explain the research of the “old and grumpy”. By summarizing another’s

to step up, fight back, and build a new world” (page 167-168). By using multiple social media platforms, creating hashtags, creating memes and taking full advantage of what social media has to offer in order to create a huge platform, can bring some success.
@EmergingSocial1#CO575 In the reading Occupy Wall Street, Occupy leaders used social media to demand changes not only in political power, but also in the realms of commerce, media, and education. Occupy leaders used social media for their voice to be heard all over the country
and world, to bring upon awareness. In the reading, “Occupy leaders used social media as more than a communications tool for sharing information with their participants. They used it as an artistic medium to tell new stories about social inequality and about the power the people
@zamboness @comm670 @comm670 #COMM670 Hi Vanessa, I do agree that critical thinking is vital for students in the process of learning. By applying critical thinking skills to learning processes, it betters communication skills.
@comm670 To achieve this, they must be partners of the students in their relations with them” (page 75). Students should apply critical thinking into their work and educators should educate their students on critical thinking. Students should not only store what they learn, they should
