In Monday’s lecture I realized how powerful advertisements are. When I filed my taxes the first thing that came into my head was TurboTax. Anyone else have a similar story?#UWJ201 #312

@singhdeeps21 Yes I one hundred percent agree. When buying everyday products I decide what item to buy based off aesthetics.#UWJ201 #312

After attending The First Amendments talk it provided me with insight on how certain mindsets can be shamed into fitting in with the common theme. Anyone have other thoughts?#UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

@BowdenBeyer Yes, I think we see this every day with spam callers and weight-loss ads that are grounded in fallacies. The scary part is that people realize what I mentioned above. #UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

The Cascio studies changed the way that I perceive ads. It is scary that subconsciously an ad can make you think negatively or positively about a certain "thing". Seems like propaganda. Any thoughts? #UWJ201 #312

After attending a panel of prominent speakers on the First Amendment and its role on college campuses I realized how important freedom of speech is. Anyone else come to a different conclusion? #UWJ201 #312

@ally_wang4 From my experience, advertisers use peripheral persuasion more often. Especially on social media apps, I find this to be true. UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

Due to the fact that everything users search online is recorded is it an invasion of privacy when our search history is sold to third parties or not? #312 #UWJ201

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

After learning reading about the peripheral and central routes I am left to wonder which affects the viewer the most. Personally, I think the peripheral affects me the most anyone else disagrees? #UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

@AnnabelBridges7 I think the only reasonable solution is to outlaw the current algorithms that are being used in social media apps. #UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

Does anyone have an explanation for why the more we receive our news from our phones the less we remember it? #312 #UWJ201

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

Can anyone think of a solution to the current problem that we see with social media polarization? Personally, I think the biggest problem is the current algorithms that are in place. #UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

@hannahritvo1 I think the only way to stop these problems is to get the law involved. Obviously, these social media platforms have no morals and so the only way to solve the problem is by involving the government. #J201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

@EthanRisch1 I completely agree. One thing that I have seen become more common by media companies is adding opinion to something that could easily be reported otherwise. #J201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

One problem that I have with the news is that it seems to confirm the beliefs that viewers already have. Can anyone think of possible solutions to this? #UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

@elliemilius1 @sanjmuralidhara To give a more realistic example if I were to criticize the practices of a certain religion would that be considered hate speech. I think open dialogue is a crucial part of American culture. #UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

@elliemilius1 @sanjmuralidhara If I were to say the word homework attacked me given the fact that I am a person would that then be considered hate speech? My point is who determines what "extreme" examples of hate speech are.#UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

Given that hate speech is protected under the first amendment do you think that Donald Trump should have been removed from social media platforms given the fact that he did not clearly incite violence, also do you think that social media companies have too much power?#UWJ201 #312

[Taylor Sprouse @TaylorSprouse9]

In my discussion yesterday I was asked whether or not big media companies need to become public utilities that would be protected by the first amendment. How would this work if this idea came to fruition, also is there a good enough reason for this?#UWJ201 #312
