throwback to when a girl in my eighth grade science class found out santa wasnt real during class when mrs. corbisiero said “no one lives at the north pole, not even santa, because hes not real”

@victoriadeadass @Klind2013 I think Twitter’s rapid pace is the reason why it is such a viable forum for discussion. It makes people think that someone will answer them instead of reading and scrolling on. It has traits that promote conversation

@tstraubEGL303 @Klind2013 the potential for hurt feelings and bullying supports the notion that social media should have minimum age limits so that people are informed and mature enough to know better

@Juliette_EGL @Klind2013 Twitter really requires the ability to brush off the negative vibes and words. If we seek out the good parts of Twitter it will make the bad seem small in contrast

@Uma39857170 @Klind2013 Being on twitter requires a discerning eye to be able to navigate through the misinformation and negative messages.

@SheeranYoung1 @Klind2013 exactly! there are some drawbacks but when we look at the big picture and the net impact, it is positive

@Klind2013 Reflection: Twitter is changing the way we get information and as long as we are aware of that, we can change the way we understand this info to allow twitter to positively influence the world we live in.

A4: This tweet takes advantage of pathos! The owner of this account is using people's sympathy and sadness for a dog who got shot to encourage people to help the dog's family pay for his medical bills; a worthy cause. Pictures make it hard not to donate a few bucks

This is Eli. He was playing outside when he was shot from a passing car. Luckily, the bullet just missed his heart. He came home from the hospital last week in good spirits, but his family is struggling to pay the bills. You can help them out below. 13/10

@Vanessa13219814 @Klind2013 Twitter is potentially used to magnify cyberbullying which makes it even worse than in person bullying. Someone can have people they don't even know bullying them just because they saw a tweet. We can't predict what will go viral and that makes Twitter dangerous.

@PhDonthavelife1 @Uma39857170 @Klind2013 I think that when famous people share experiences about difficult topics it will make the topic less taboo. If it's a celeb that we like, it could even change our view on the social issue, regardless of what it is.

@JWu303 @Klind2013 If anything, Twitter's fast-paced nature actually encourages people to not fact check or make sure they are logical because they are prioritizing how fast they can spread their message.
#EGL303F19

[Julia Railo @jrailo137]

@ratpatrol_ @Klind2013 You are absolutely right! Twitter's shortness is a great excuse to omit essential information which can change the angle of a statement. If people accept a tweet as fact it leads to an abundance of misinformation.

[Julia Railo @jrailo137]

@Juliette_EGL @Vanessa13219814 @Klind2013 I am not even in the beauty community and I know about the battle between influencers. Twitter exposes people to conflict they didn't even know existed. Sometimes it raises awareness, but other times it's petty when it doesn't involve them.

[Julia Railo @jrailo137]

@punkmusic3928 @Klind2013 Bad vibes are a huge part of twitter. People love to complain in quick, short statements. It can easily create a negative atmosphere.
#EGL303F19

[Julia Railo @jrailo137]

@Klind2013 A5: Twitter is used to cyberbully anonymously, make people feel poorly about themselves. It can also be unintentional like people feeling FOMO as with any social media. It can be used to make sweeping generalizations which hurt people's feelings

@punkmusic3928 @JoAnnaRandisi @JWu303 @Klind2013 Some people dislike the use of kairos based posts for adoption days because they think it encourages people to adopt an animal they can't take care of just because it was "Clear the Shelter Day"

[Julia Railo @jrailo137]

@Uma39857170 @Klind2013 I think any tweet discussing mental illness has an element of kairos. There was a time when sharing mental illness was weak, and not inspiring like it is today.
