My favorite theory is probably the agenda-setting theory. I just find it so interesting to see how we can be so heavily influenced by outside sources. #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

My biggest takeaway from this class is really understanding better how communication works. There's a theory for everything and I find that absolutely fascinating! #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

I think the Agenda-Setting theory is absolutely relevant today. We're constantly being shown specific algorithms that are specifically tailored to convey certain messages, especially from "credible" news sources. (I'm looking at you Fox News) #UTcommtheory

(2/2) I think of social media influencers. https://t.co/CdhUKNBqpF #utcommtheory

(1/2) According to English Plus, "Opinion leaders are individuals or groups that have a significant impact on public opinion. The media can play a role in shaping public opinion by highlighting the opinions of opinion leaders." And when I think of "opinion leaders", #utcommtheory

I have a parasocial relationship with Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning (GMM). GMM is a daily YouTube show and below are the hosts. I watch GMM every single day because it brings me a sense of joy (assumption 2) #utcommtheory

The company I chose is Lionsgate. An interesting fact about them is they were originally a Canadian media company. Below is my GIF that I think represents concentrated media ownership. #utcommtheory

@BoldenDani80815 I've definitely seen this too. It's especially awkward when you know for a fact that someone is switching up in order to assimilate into the dominate group. #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

I feel like I live my life using the nonassertive accommodation communication approach, especially at work. I usually try to advocate for and represent all parties involved in any meetings. #utcommtheory

@drew_gillen8 I totally relate to this! I don't want to get brought in or yelled at also so I'll resort to avoiding the situation completely lol

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

When I try to argue politics with my dad, this is how it goes, and it usually resorts to me shouting insults. This is the dominance conflict style. (Don't worry, my dad and I love each other and can resolve our issues lol) #utcommtheory

@StephieSchaw I agree, some of the stories I've heard about the way Amazon treats their employees are insane. How does a corporation so massive get away with treating their employees like trash? #UTcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

An industry that could use a culture shift is the banking industry. I think that bank corporations could do more to educate consumers on the available services provided. #utcommtheory

@nahla_badr39347 I like how you explained syllogism-- "It is safe to assume that I like the mango sherbet." Syllogism is basically just safe assumptions! #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

An example of a syllogism would be:
A) If I work hard, I will get a promotion.
B) If I get a promotion, I will be happy.
C) If I work hard, I will be happy.

@jer850736715657 This is awesome, not only does it accurately display cognitive dissonance, but it's also relatable haha #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

Sometimes I snooze too many times even though I know I shouldn't 😬 #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

@jer850736715657 I totally agree with you! The people who I have closest to me in my personal life are the same people who I regularly interact with on social media. #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

(2/2) but I also communicate with them on social media the most. #utcommtheory

[Mia @mcaninch_mia]

(1/2) I do support the claim of the MMT. I believe this to be true based on my own life. The people with whom I have the strongest bond are the ones I communicate with the most. Such as my family and my husband. Not only do I text these people the most frequently... #utcommtheory
