Will the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade affect whether and how you vote in the midterm election Nov. 8?

"Yes, because this decision directly affects Women's rights."

Will the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade affect whether and how you vote in the midterm election Nov. 8?

"Yes, definitely. It is kind of BS that they overturned the decision."

@enelyuw I also loved this article about how Taylor interacts with fans and particularly liked how the article highlighted her authenticity. Marketing ideas that are not solely using persuasive principles can work too. #UWJ201 #321

@LilyMorningsta6 I think people are more likely to follow the peripheral route when watching ads. This is because people usually don’t have motivation to deeply think when watching television, YouTube, or anything that is typically associated with advertisements. #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

Can you identify your own decision triggers when watching advertisements? What stops you from thinking when watching an ad and instead make a decision? #UWJ201 #321

@ly_kristy I personally feel that this isn’t okay. I think it is essential that social media companies become more transparent in their user data collection, especially as they increase their advertisement content. #UWJ201 #321

@whomstisnat One way we could educate people as to understand how FaceBook is getting their information is to make it clear to them when they make a FaceBook account. Users should be required to consent to and understand how Facebook is getting their data when they sign up. #UWJ201 #321

How can we decipher if an advertisement is using persuasion or manipulation when persuasion tools often use components of manipulation, like focusing on self-interest and emotion? Is it valid for advertisements to use manipulative tactics?#UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

@allisoncourt24 I think one way we could fix this is through education. The article referenced the fact that classes surrounding stereotypes are not prevalent enough in universities, and this lack of knowledge manifests itself into the real world. #UWJ201 #321

@uwjeffreyli I think although innovation and growth is a good thing, in order to find a balance, companies must explore the potential risk factors of their products more and understand how their technology affects the behavior of humans. #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

In lecture, we talked about human-interest stories in journalism. Why are stories about what drives human decision making valuable for journalism? How does understanding what it means to be a neighbor in a community important for us as a society? #UWJ201 #321

@keconnelly18 I don’t think it’s a good thing when one media company owns multiples of the media outlets. That I think we should do though is focus more on supporting public companies like NPR and focus less on the regulation of private companies. #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

@KarleaSchuelke I think instead of increasing regulation, we should increase media literacy, like how congress is working on a bill in which kids are taught how to use and interact with the news at a young age. #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

Should the government regulate and limit how many TV stations and newspaper companies one can own? Who should govern, if anyone, the information we see? #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

@noa_chamberlin I think fake news gets so much attention because people are most attracted to sensationalized and controversial topics, which fake news usual covers. #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

I could tweet about anything and it Twitter wouldn’t get in trouble. If social media platforms can deplatform people and say they can’t use their site, why aren’t they considered a publisher? Why can’t they be held responsible events caused due to their sites? #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

How do we combat cultivation in a world dominated by media? Individuals have perceptions that don’t match up to reality, like thinking that the crime rate is much higher than it actually is. How can we get individuals to perceive reality more accurately? #UWJ201 #321

[Cate Tarr @CateTarr]

@BrianneCapper Many times, the more hostile the media, the greater the public participation. I think journalists take on biased perceptions at times in order for their stories to gain more attention from followers of that political ideology. #UWJ201 #321
