@blksch1 @Klind2013 i agree with you that most political tweets are innately rhetorical, and bernie's utilization of kairos reflects this. kairos is definitely prominent in election season, and with the fast paced nature of modern society, it certainly is easy to utilize.

@ahaftab22 @Klind2013 i saw that tweet too, and i didn't even realize how effectively they used logos. it makes logical sense for an entertainment blog to report on celebrity news and trends, and them being criticized for this makes little sense.

@abbygailkydd @Klind2013 i love this example! sia is such an inspiration, and her use of pathos and her platform in this tweet to raise awareness and support for her illness and fans definitely reflects her character and the type of celebrity she is

@Vanessa13219814 @Klind2013 this is a great example of kairos! people who are familiar with the significance of the day would be able to see the humor in this, and they definitely use the day to their advantage.

@Vanessa13219814 @Klind2013 i've seen that a few times where people use the release of personal information as a revenge tactic against others. this in turn, i think, crosses the line of what's acceptable to post online, as this can be harming to the individual who's personal info has been released.

@PhDonthavelife1 @JoAnnaRandisi @Klind2013 i would say yes because even if you're arguing with someone you know in real life, saying something behind a screen is so much easier than saying it to their face. it's especially worse when two strangers fight over politics, as they have nothing to lose in arguing a stranger.

@JWu303 @Klind2013 i totally agree, spreading false information is a recurring theme i've seen on twitter. glancing at a tweet and taking it for face value can be destructive to society or an individual, and i think this contributes to the mob mentality that we often see on this platform.

@JoAnnaRandisi @Klind2013 for sure!! more often than not i feel like the political "debates" are more so attacks on others appearances or character rather than actually talking about the matter at hand. these ad hominem responses are by no means an effective way of communication and debate.

@Klind2013 #EGL303F19

[jordan @jordanegl303]

@Klind2013 i think twitter is making the world a better place. people are able to become more educated through the opposing views of others, and can get live updates on national and global news. it facilitates communication between people from all over, and i see this is as largely positive

@Klind2013 A4 this is regarding the demi lovato/israel situation. the user appeals to kairos by creating a meme relevant to a very recent event making a meme out of it before the ordeal is a thing of the past. its effective because it plays on a current event that many people are discussing

@jaccomando1 @Klind2013 @nowthisnews i agree with you that twitter is a great way to learn new things. every so often i stumble upon a tweet showing "life hacks" for common issues, and some of them are easily adaptable into every day life. also chocolate is the literal best !!

@punkmusic3928 @Klind2013 i love this !! i saw that and it made me feel so happy! no matter what your political opinions are, i think we can agree the obamas are such a wholesome and loving family, and i for one love seeing their positivity on my timeline!!

[jordan @jordanegl303]

@ilonakaydanov @Klind2013 yes!! i saw this! it definitely brightened up my mood! im hoping it brings back that middle school nostalgia ive been missing, and i think its definitely a positive thing to bring more hunger games into the new era!!

@tstraubEGL303 @Klind2013 its great that you point out a user's external need for validation. i think that's what a lot of people to turn to social media for, seeing as how the primary features of likes and retweets provide users with a sense of reassurance of themselves.

@Candace43667519 @Klind2013 i didn't know about its original intent! that definitely goes to show how much the platform has evolved! with people still tweeting about the minute details of their everyday lives, i agree that twitter has definitely become a more significant platform for larger issues!

@Samanth78541535 @Klind2013 ive seen that too, sometimes things getting a bit too personal. i like that you relate it to a public diary too. some people just don't know what they should and shouldn't post on a public forum!!

@victoriadeadass @Klind2013 this is certainly one of the primary uses of twitter i've seen and use myself. definitely the stress of college and memes about college are a recurring theme of my timeline, and its nice to have a place to vent shared stresses with other college kids!!

@Klind2013 @dog_rates #EGL303F19

[jordan @jordanegl303]

@Klind2013 A3 i retweeted the latest tweet from @dog_rates which is an account that rates dogs and provides followers feeds with daily pictures of cute dogs to brighten up their day. the positivity arises from the soul purpose of looking at pictures of cute dogs, which i for one adore.

[jordan @jordanegl303]

@Klind2013 A2 Users also use twitter by using it as a place to connect with other fans of a celebrity. I've seen big fan bases on twitter who share favorite pictures of the artists and discuss music, even having their own language, for which they are commonly referred to as "stan twitter".
