The study of the extreme metal scene shows how the internet can serve as a platform to reach a larger population and influence the adoption of racist ideologies #lesson13

Digital code delivers and dictates the content we see and learns from how an individual interacts with others. This relates to why some videos go viral and how it can be used in consumer culture & marketing #lesson13 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

@KrisSchicchi agreed, it really brought many of the lessons together and emphasizes how we must all carefully consider the forces underlying social media and digital interfaces #lesson13 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

@DZujwoda yup, and its scary to see patterns of similar videos being amplified and going viral and they gain popularity #lesson13

[Jess @jessc307]

@msn_concordia Great! just wanted to point out that it says Tuesday instead of Wednesday (dec 6th) on the announcement.

Social media is increasingly being used as an international stage for people to share their stories, thoughts or opinion from one country to another. #HorizontalCommunication #Lesson12

@sashamperez16 Forsure, SM can be used to unite people for the wrong reasons! #Lesson12 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

@sashamperez16 Agreed! The unedited quality of the video conveys a more live and meaningful way to view the event and to try and work out its meaning #Lesson12 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

@sashamperez16 I thought that the impact experienced by the viewer was greater this way and was more real since there was no journalistic interpretations presented #Lesson12 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

Top-Down communication models is an approach for an an organization to use in order to maintain a uniform identity and consistent message #Lesson12 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

@k_catalogna Top down communication practices have actually worked to increase the communication divide than bridge it...such as the UNDP reserving the right to delete/edit comments #Lesson12

@jessika_desbois forsure something I did not notice when I was watching these movies as a kid! scary to see the reality of things as we get older.

[Jess @jessc307]

Disney hides behind its images of innocence, fun and family in order to execute its massive corporate power, and ultimately make as much money as possible #lesson11 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

@deidrablacker As children, these movies are purely for entertainment and we do not realize the sublime messages hidden underneath and being absorbed by our minds.

[Jess @jessc307]

@jessika_desbois Exactly, and Walt Disney controls a huge part of the information that children are exposed to as one of the largest global media conglomerates. #Lesson11 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

The female characters in Disney movies tend to present a distorted version of femininity: highly sexualized bodies, seductiveness and a damsel in distress. Have you guys seen more recent Disney movies in which this has changed? #lesson11 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

@stephwalters307 @deidrablacker I think it is in great part that children has such large imaginations, and do not think about these underlying messages. I think that Disney played an important role in influencing the imaginative lives of children #lesson11

[Jess @jessc307]

People of color in Disney movie are notably scarce but there is an obvious effort that has been made in the past years to change this, such as the movie Moana. #lesson11 #EDUC307

[Jess @jessc307]

Beyond racial and ethnic stereotyping, the stories Disney tells are full of commercialism and commercial values, The innocent stories Disney movies tell seem to be secondary to their being used as vehicles for the merchandising of videos, toys, clothing, video games...#lesson11

[Jess @jessc307]

After watching Mickey Mouse Monopoly, it is clear that representations of race and ethnicity are similarly skewed in the world of Disney. Fore example, Latinos are portrayed as irresponsible Chihuahuas in Lady and the Tramp. #lesson11 #EDUC307
