The dawgs @peytongoure @CarsonKlingman @Trayton_Acosta getting some love in the video! Shout out to the whole squad last night. Can’t wait for the fans to see the final product 🤐

Overall I am glad to have taken RGCM this semester. There were many current events that were relevant to the class discussions/ assignments which helped me understand and interpret the issues in diversity and inclusion today. #rgcmtalkback21

While I’m not a huge fan of tweeting (or posting on social media at all), this was a great assignment to increase my engagement on issues in race, gender, and class in the media. #rgcmtalkback21

I found the first diversity interview related to Dr. C’s 5th rule of diversity engagement: “Just because you haven’t experienced it, does not mean it isn’t real.” #rgcmtalkback21

Congratulations to @OU_Softball on being Big 12 regular season champs for nine years in a row! #BoomerSooner #rgcmtalkback21

The title for my final essay was “More Than Just an Education.” While I appreciate the opportunities I’ve learned in class, I reflected on the experience college has given me to learn more about diversity and inclusion. #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@alli_crampton I agree as well. The various lessons I learned have helped me see how inaction on certain issues can just make the problem even worse. #rgcmtalkback20 #rgcmtalkback21

@Jessamurray_OU I noticed the same thing. I wonder if Tik Tok will continue to grow at this rate over time or if it will peak soon. #rgcmtalkback20 #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@SmellieWeaver I agree, the first diversity interview was really great. I interviewed someone who I though I knew well but was surprised at how much I learned from them after. #rgcmtalkback20 #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@SmellieWeaver I think that recording my interview made an impact as well. My dad isn’t a huge fan of being filmed so it seemed to change the way he presented himself. #rgcmtalkback20 #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@Melissa72372314 I agree with your statement. Social roles have been placed on both men and women throughout many areas including film.

@kristyp_wheat I liked how you used cultivation theory in your research presentation. Your overall analysis was very interesting as well, I’ll have to watch Bridgerton now!

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

I can relate our Tweet requirements to Dr. C’s first diversity rule of engagement. We are the starting point for making inclusion work, not the other way around #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@NathanS1120 I enjoyed reading your research presentation. I think that CRT and CSR were good theories to use. I think it would have been helpful to include that the purpose of branding is to also differentiate the brand from competitors too. #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

Our social media discussion made me think of the book “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley. It made me think if we could ever be too connected when it comes to social media. #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@NathanS1120 @BaileyStrahorn I felt the same way since my family has lived in the same area for so long. While I couldn’t trace back too far, I did find out that I have some family roots in the Tennessee/Kentucky area. #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@alli_crampton I felt the same way, but these conversations seem necessary even though it might be a bit weird. #rgcmtalkback21

[Jared Thomas @jedthomas1998]

@YoungWilli3 I made a similar point when talking about sci-fi games as well. I agree with Kristen though that it may be difficult to get a point across. #rgcmtalkback21
