I do remain a Disney fan, but I do believe that parents should expose the subliminal messages behind these films to their kids and teach them how this could be harmful and is not necessarily the truth in real life.
its been real everyone. this class was more interesting than i expected. i wish i interacted more with twitter world, it was cool interacting this way and seeing all of your perspectives these past few days๐ all the best!
another aspect of social media worth praising, is it's role in creating and sustaining long distance relationships. such as parents who work overseas, or children away from home for school, and long distance relationships.
I believe social media has begun a great movement when it comes to promoting justice or leniency for those with unjust death/criminal charges. influencers like kim kardashian and colin kapernik are using social media to draw mass attention to criminal justice reform #juliusjones
the reading on gender subjectivities and cyber discourse in Lebanon was particularly eye opening. the amount of power religious authorities hold is mind blowing. Middle eastern patriarchy and religion demand respect, whereas the women are expected to conform/adhere to the rules
interacting with digital technology is all about awareness. i would provide my students with a lesson on digital literacy, law, and right&responsibility. This will encourage them to engage critically with content online, and become more conscious users. #lesson13
@e_turge@TifaniStanis i completely agree! when i take notes from intense readings i try to write them in my own words, and if i cant i know i didn't understand.
I agree with Ms.Mouads perspective on the late M.Achkar. If going to trial in a western society, I believe external + environmental factors are crucial in getting a guilty verdict... given that religious authorities would be in charge, disassociation from religion is necessary
touching on the someone project: online hate, the internet can truly be a scary place especially for marginalized populations and those apart of visible minorities. individuals can experience emotional and psychological harm for simply standing for what they believe in
How do we feel about squid games now associating harm with harmless child games. Provided the amount of attention it has gotten, and children's likelihood of imitation, do you feel this was an appropriate choice? (playing devils advocate, i loved the series)
Many may not agree, but i dont like with how much we are able to view online. i believe it gives many of the wrong people more courage to act out knowing it will be displayed for the world. in addition, views can negatively boost egos, encouraging more destructive behaviour
@beaudin_alec listening to the perspectives of the men and women in the mickey mouse monopoly was really interesting. i had never thought of it as they did, but as soon as i heard their explanations it made complete sense!
after going through the lessons, i can say that my awareness of digital technology has changed. i had an extremely naive approach to digital privacy and will now be more cautions and vigilant of what i agree to and what i post.
