@jodoin_sarah @DEduc307 ohh im so jealous i finish on dec 20 :(

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@DEduc307 sooo relieved, im taking 5 classes so not having a final in this class makes me super happy

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@AdreannaMartel yes because out of all the socials, twitter is hands down the easiest one to write your thoughts and post them

[erin @erinwalker1608]

by being connected globally, it makes it a lot easier for us to know whats going on in other parts of the world, whereas before technology we might of only gotten small snippets of international news

@KrawNico i feel like im going to have to have a new disney marathon and compare. I havent watched any recent disney films ahaha!

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@AustinLudmer @MGiaccari because now its much easier to organize a movement/protests (can be done in a matter of days), whereas before it would take months of planning. so now, they are more reluctant to implement actual structural change when we protest :(

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@AustinLudmer @MGiaccari agreed, but they talk about a downside to this in a video from lesson 10 which is that movements nowadays lack "teeth", meaning that policymakers unfortunately take protests and movements less seriously then they did 30-40 years ago (1/2)

@Carolin84216534 @robyn93530409 i took that elective as well, one of my favourite classes ive taken at ConU and super informative as well !!

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@SachseTardif I think its super important to learn about stuff on your own time to be able to judge for yourself the information you are being given

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@SachseTardif yes especially with fake news. theres a documentary on netflix that talks about the fact that fake news is spread 6x faster than factual news. Really scary, people will truly believe anything on the internet.

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@Carolin84216534 tiktok, lol... sadly i can spend hours on there ahhahah

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@padar_educ307 yeah i feel like as soon as we rewatch something as adults the message is completely different

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@Carolin84216534 back in person!

[erin @erinwalker1608]

@SachseTardif i agree, i think social media is a great tool to spread awareness and news, as long as you fact check and do some of your own research afterwards
