I agree w/ the author's sentiment that "Students seem to join..without much resistance or critical questioning" because modern-day students advocate for 'change' w/o question. Now they use 'armchair activism' & agree w/ media angrily instead of making actual change #mhhsaplang
@sscoffield1 In addition,unfortunately,most teenagers aren't well-versed in politics,which makes it hard to justify the mixing of politics and teenagers on social media as a good thing- see Ryan Saavedra's tweets documenting the livestream.https://t.co/kFYG8UWGUW
@sscoffield1 It's getting more political in nature.I think that it's better or for worse dependent upon whether we handle it responsibly.If we can be mindful of all opinions,it's good thing.However,the blatant disregard of anyone that doesn't align with them as 'trolls', is rampant on twitter

Women in Lebanon share their stories as refugees in a meeting with the UNHCR. Many refugee women become mothers very early, and are, on average, worse off in terms of food and security than male counterparts.
@sscoffield1 We can use rhetoric to our best efficiency by lessening the hot air. You can see the difference in the portrayal of Pence's actions between the CNN's headline and FoxNews' headline- CNN describes Pence's visit as a 'missed opportunity' while Fox states that he faces hardships.
@sscoffield1 I use the news app on my phone. It collates news from various outlets I've subscribed to, and suggests others, so there's a pretty big scope of the news when I read up. "Trustworthy" depends on the type of news. I know I can always count on NatGeo to tell me the truth.
