@nytimes Obviously this was only done to make him look better after all those years of not giving people what they had been asking for. He found a common interest between the people and he gave it to them but only when his time was up and who knows if the next mayor will keep it the same.

The group that presented on Mothman was a good example of how one person can start a conspiracy theory and quickly spread it to make other people believe it. #RHUB100

In the article "The spread of fake news by social bots" it extends on the ideas of fake information being spread out to the masses and how the more frequently we see it, the more we will believe it. #RHUB100

One of Andersen's claims is that as Americans we believe what we want and I completely agree with that. Its so much easier to believe in what you want and create your own little realities than it is is to accept the cold hard truth

@_BrandonNunez I feel like this is completely true. I was only able to relate to a couple of his references which wouldnt to be smart to get his point across. #RHUB100

@VincentPolk5 I completely agree with you. Specially where this article was published he should've used celebrities that the people who read these articles actually know and can refer too. #RHUB100

[edbarragan0310 @edbarragan0310]

Anderson makes the assumption that the his audience was older generations which made it harder for the younger generations to understand his pop culture references #RHUB100

@Fiona87546173 I completely agree, but I also believe that when we know we have an audience we wont always write as creatively but more towards what we believe the audience wants to read. #RHUB100

In Clive Thompson's "Public Thinking" he mentioned something that really made me think. He said "Literacy in North America has historically been focused on reading, not writing; consumption, not production." It made me realize how the US educational system is built up. #RHUB100

@moore_adammoore I completely agree with you. We all know that fast food is not the best for our bodies and its our choice whether or not we want to consume it. Blaming the fast food chain is not going to do anything and these kids arent going to win any of their cases #RHUB100

This connects to Jamison Hill's "I'm not addicted to my smart phone I depend on it to survive" because he uses his smartphone to stay in contact with his caregiver and doctors and without it he wouldnt be able to survive. #RHUB100

[edbarragan0310 @edbarragan0310]

I read this article on how smartphones can save lives and it talks about a bicyclist who had been in a wreck and was unable to move. She couldnt get a call to go through but for some reason a tweet did. Minutes later one of her followers contacted the police to send help for her

[edbarragan0310 @edbarragan0310]

@_BrandonNunez I completely agree with you and adding on to this I think that they use pathos a lot to reach into the audiences feelings and therefore be easier to influence.

@nytimes i read this article and to me it most closely resembles the concept of common ground argument. They talked about how violence in a certain city has gone down because of numerous things the mayor who is on his way out has recently done.
