etween 1929 and 1932, international trade dropped from $36billion to only $12 billion. American exports fell by 78 percent. Com-bined with overproduction and declining domestic consumption, the tar-iff exacerbated the world’s economic collapse.
The United States was and still is a major global economic superpower. The American Great Depression was so extreme, it did more than just damage the United States.

“Change is in the very air Americans breathe, and consumer changesare the very bricks out of which we are building our new kind of civi-lization,” announced marketing expert and home economist ChristineFrederick in her influential 1929 monograph, Selling Mrs. Consumer.
Did the beginning of the mass consumerism era start when the industrial revolution started to take off? How is American consumer culture different today than it was when it started?

Women reacted to the war preparations by joining several militaryand civilian organizations. Their enrollment and actions in these orga-nizations proved to be a pioneering effort for American women in war.
How did this affect the way that women were viewed through the lens of misogyny? Did this help shatter the barrier between what was considered traditionally male and traditionally female?

In1890, New York City journalist Jacob Riis published How the OtherHalf Lives, a scathing indictment of living and working conditions in thecity’s slums. Riis not only vividly described the squalor he saw, he docu-mented it with photography, giving readers an unflinching view of urbanpoverty. Riis’s book led to housing reform in New York and other citiesand helped instill the idea that society bore at least some responsibilityfor alleviating poverty.
Publication and reports brought more attention to the situation causing the government and people to take action.

Der kurz vor der COP16 zur Biodiversität veröffentlichte Living Planet Index zeigt das Ausmaß des Biodiversitätsverlusts in den vergangenen 50 Jahren, auch wenn an den dabei angewendeten statistischen Verfahren starke Zweifel bestehen. Die Wirbeltier-Populationen haben nach diesem Index um 73% abgenommen, am stärksten in Lateinamerika und der Karibik. Die wichtigste Ursache ist die veränderte Landnutzung. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/10/collapsing-wildlife-populations-points-no-return-living-planet-report-wwf-zsl-warns

It is by such means that these evangelicalworkers snatch away from the gates of Hell numbers of souls which would never haveenjoyed a blissful eternity without the charitable aid of these generous missionaries.
This provides another example of the perspective that was commonly held by missionaries; that they were saving souls by converting them.

Question #1. Where is the location of the study and why do you think there are complex human dimension of wildlife conflicts higher than other locations in North America? - As we read the article we can learn that the location of the study is in a 23,700km^2 area of southwestern Alberta and was bounded by the HighWood River to the north, British Columbia to the west, and Montana to the South. In my opinion, I think that there are complex human dimensions of wildlife conflict higher here than in other locations in North America due to a over population that lack of protective barriers between humans and wildlife areas and the increase in urban zones or cities. What do you think could be a good solving solution to this problem between wildlife and humans?

Ecology and Society 22(3): 4https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol22/iss3/art4/Fig. 3. Large carnivore incidents by species and type (grizzlybear, Ursus arctos; black bear, Ursus americanus; wolf, Canislupus; and cougar, Puma concolor). Percentages are cumulativeover 1999 through 2014
Personal Question: How would this data change if we compared these species in a more remote ares with less human involvement vs an area that is frequently populated with people such as the Lake Tahoe area?
-
Similar to the patterns found by our occurrence record review,crops, food waste, and livestock carcasses feature prominently inthe diet of ursids across the globe; killing of livestock occurs lessfrequently (Newsome et al. 2015). Both black bears and grizzlybears preferentially select mixed diets (Erlenbach et al. 2014,Coogan and Raubenheimer 2016, Costello et al. 2016). Forexample, in a recent study in Wyoming bears consumed 1–20different foods per day, with an average of 7.3 (Costello et al.2016). Black bear use of human-settled areas and associated foodsources often increases when natural foods are scarce (Howe etal. 2010, Baruch-Mordo et al. 2014, Lewis et al. 2014). Althoughnot monitored, a poor berry year and decreased natural foods in2014 could explain some of the observed 2014 increase in blackbear incidents. In our study, black bear incidents werepredominately attributable to attractants including garbage,birdfeeders, and vegetation.
Question 2:
According to this paper, bears and wolves have very different diets. Bears are considered omnivores and will eat both vegetation and meat depending on the season and what is available. They also feed on food that has been set out by humans such as bird feed and garbage. Wolves on the other hand are strictly carnivorous and do not feed on vegetation.

The desire for the salvation of these newconverts inflamed him, or better intoxicated him so that last year he did the impossible tocome back to them; he took to the sea, but instead of landing on their beaches, he wasthrown on foreign lands and was finally obliged to return to France.
This demonstrates the concept that we discussed in class that these missionaries thought of them selves as being sent by god to save the "savages". They genuinely thought that converting to Catholicism was the best thing that could be done for Indigenous peoples. This particular passage demonstrates the extremes that missionaries were willing to endure in order to achieve this goal.

He spoke the foreign language of the Abenakis of this territory, and by his great virtue, byhis religious conversations, he prepared many infidels for the faith; he even converted manyof them by teaching them the articles of our faith in a simple but effective way.The previous year, in 1654, the second of the two missionaries, the most venerable FatherBalthazar of Paris had already returned to France. This father speaks the language of thenatives of the region where he lived, as well as the French language, and with the help ofGod, he converted more Abenakis than all the other missionaries.
De Paris references two other missionaries who had great success in converting many Indigenous people and highlights a key feature of both of these men; the fact that they could converse with the Indigenous peoples that they worked with. Having learned the language likely facilitated their abilities to gain trust and form relationships with these communities which likely enabled them to convert more people.

To calculate the sugar content for the cranberry juice and the root beer, first calculatethe average density of the celebration standard, 2% sugar. This is found by first subtracting thefinal mass of both the beaker and the liquid by the initial mass of just the beaker to find theliquid's mass of the 2% sugar. Then using the density equation d=m/v where d= density, v=volume and m=mass. Use the mass found by subtracting the final and initial and divide it bythe constant 10 mL of 2% sugar. Then repeat this for each trial, it was repeated 2 more times fora total of 3 more times. Using the 3 density’s find the average by adding all the desitys of 2%sugar and dividing it by 3. These calculations where completed for both the cranberry juice andthe root beer. After calculating each of those using the calibration standard averages of theclass for the sugar % create a plot graph and a trend line (Graph 1). Using the trend lineequation where x represents the % sugar content and y represents the density in g/mL,substitute the average density of both cranberry juice and the root beer into the y of the trendline equation. Then solve for x, the % sugar content.
Past tense, equation needs proper format and check grammar.

Then using that 50 mL beaker and a10 mL volumetric pipette plus pipette filler, fill the 10 mL volumetric pipette and filler to 10.00 mLof 2% sugar. Put the liquid in the volumetric pipette into the 50mL beaker that was previouslymeasured. Next measure and record the mass of the beaker using the balance. This processwas repeated 2 more times for a total of 3 trials Then using a cranberry juice using the samesteps and doing a total of 3 trials.

It goes from steps back to past tense. It doesn't entirely make sense given that this should all be in past tense and not in a step by step format like how this sentence describes. The first sentence is in present tense to begin with, instead it should be "The mass of the beaker was then recorded using a balance."

After five years of unrequited toil, and unspeakable hardship in convict camps, - five years of slaving by the side of human brutes, and of nightly herding with them in vermin-haunted huts, - Ben Davis had become like them.

There was a moment of breathless silence. Then a wild burst of grief from the prisoner's wife, to which his two children, not understanding it all, but vaguely conscious of some calamity, added their voices in two long, discordant wails, which would have been ludicrous had they not been heart-rending.
This quote conveys realism by showing the range of human emotions such a verdict would cause.

In how we’ve been talking about accessible design, the way we’ve been phrasing things has implied a separation between designers who make things, and the disabled people who things are made for. And unfortunately, as researcher Dr. Cynthia Bennett points out, disabled people are often excluded from designing for themselves, or even when they do participate in the design, they aren’t considered to be the “real designers.” You can see Dr. Bennet’s research talk on this in the following Youtube Video:
It's paradoxical how people with disabilities are barred from designing systems that are meant to support them. The stigma of people with disabilities as people who are lesser than, or less capable of designing is an outdated notion. Designing for the disabled population from a purely able bodied perspective is a myopic view of the issue, and is bound to overlook issues.

What incentives do social media companies have to protect privacy?
I think there are a handful of incentives that social media companies have to protect privacy. If a company offers good privacy to its users, they will respect the company more and are more likely to use it. Also if the company protects privacy there is less chance of them having to pay fines for violating people's privacy.
-
What are your biggest concerns around privacy on social media?
My biggest concern regarding privacy on social media and the internet in general is when people's actions shift from offline to online. This is when people's actions on the internet and in real life get muddied and it becomes really dangerous and difficult to prosecute.

Datasets can be poisoned unintentionally. For example, many scientists posted online surveys that people can get paid to take. Getting useful results depended on a wide range of people taking them. But when one TikToker’s video about taking them went viral, the surveys got filled out with mostly one narrow demographic, preventing many of the datasets from being used as intended.
Ensuring the integrity of datasets is vital to ensure their applications are useful. An issue presented in this case where the population taking such surveys overrepresents a certain consumer segment means that the output of any model that uses such survey data wouldn't be representative of the wider population.

Social media sites then make their money by selling targeted advertising, meaning selling ads to specific groups of people with specific interests. So, for example, if you are selling spider stuffed animal toys, most people might not be interested, but if you could find the people who want those toys and only show your ads to them, your advertising campaign might be successful, and those users might be happy to find out about your stuffed animal toys. But targeting advertising can be used in less ethical ways, such as targeting gambling ads at children, or at users who are addicted to gambling, or the 2016 Trump campaign ‘target[ing] 3.5m black Americans to deter them from voting’ { requestKernel: true, binderOptions: { repo: "binder-examples/jupyter-stacks-datascience", ref: "master", }, codeMirrorConfig: { theme: "abcdef", mode: "python" }, kernelOptions: { kernelName: "python3", path: "./ch08_data_mining" }, predefinedOutput: true } kernelName = 'python3'
Social media sites are financially incentivized to collect our data to sell to advertised. However, this has some unintended consequences such as targeting gambling ads towards children and perpetuating addictions. Consumer rights regarding data is paramount to ensure such practices are used ethically.

In the Black Lives Matters protests of 2020, Dallas Police made an app where they asked people to upload videos of protesters doing anything illegal. In support of the protesters, K-pop fans swarmed the app and uploaded as many K-pop videos as they could eventually leading to the app crashing and becoming unusable, and thus protecting the protesters from this attempt at Police surveillance.
First of all this is hilarious. However, this does veer near vigilantism which raises some ethical questions. At what point should individuals/unregulated groups take justice into their own hands. The issue arises in who gets to define what justice is and is not.

Inauthentic interaction can even be valuable. We might outright lie to someone to cover our tracks when planning them a surprise party. Once the surprise is revealed, the inauthentic interactions can be retrospectively reinterpreted, and offense is not taken.
The idea that inauthentic interaction is still valuable is an interesting concept. The entire concept of acting and theater is predicated on the paradoxical concept of authentic inauthenticity. The basis of a medium of artistic expression is the imitation of authenticity, yet it is this basis that allows them to connect authentically with the audience.

St. Francis de Sales is the patron saint of deaf individuals. He is also the patron of journalists and writers because of his many written religious works. Because of these publications, he is depicted with a book in the left hand and a quill pen in the right. His feast day is January 24th.

Stores and homes were looted and set on fire. When Tulsa firefighters arrived, they were turned away by white vigilantes. A number of eyewitness accounts described private aircraft being used to shoot into black crowds and drop turpentine firebombs onto black-owned buildings, suggesting the well-organized attack might have been planned in advance.
The racism and hate were so extreme that many deaths and many lives lost. The suggestion that this was an organized attack just go to show how much hate they had.

Women gained increased opportunities to work outside the home. The number of professional women rose significantly in the 1920s. But limits still existed,
Equality was in the grasp but still the was the impression that women are only useful in the home.
-
It was the decade of the “New Woman,” in which only 10 percent of married women (but nearly half of unmarried women) worked outside the home. It was a decade in which new technologies decreased time requirements for household chores, and one in which standards of cleanliness and order in the home rose to often impossible standards.
This decade allowed for women to do more things instead of just housework. Equality seemed more and more attainable in this decade as women had more opportunities just as the men.
-
The 1920s also witnessed the maturation of professional sports. Play-by-play radio broadcasts of collegiate and professional sporting events marked a new era for sports, despite the racial segregation in most.
Sports has a way of changing the focus on to only the sport and its outcome. It was a new form of entertainment and a way that different peoples can come together.

“Change is in the very air Americans breathe, and consumer changes are the very bricks out of which we are building our new kind of civilization,” announced marketing expert and home economist Christine Frederick in her influential 1929 book, Selling Mrs. Consumer (which she incidentally dedicated to Herbert Hoover).
Most people aren't ready for a change and like things to stay the way they are, but I think people have to accept that life is always changing.

In addition to his very clear support of business interests over labor, Harding’s presidency would go down in history as among the most corrupt.

natural
I know this is contentious territory in this group, but the relationship between "natural" and "ethical" is complicated. There are many things that are natural but unethical. The real question is: what are the criteria that we might use to judge natural things as being ethical or unethical? Singer seems to have some.
-
A levelized morality that is rational, global, and actively meliorist fits almost perfectly with this new-age liberalism. This levelized morality can be calculated and outsourced just the same as a manufacturing job. If, for example, it’s more efficient to make an air conditioner in Mexico than in Ohio, then you gut the town in Ohio and ship the parts from Mexico. With EA’s levelized morality, if your money is most effective fighting malaria in Africa, then you stop caring about your neighbors and outsource your moral caring there.
I see the comparison here, and think that there is merit to it. The "outsourcing" point is particularly strong--i.e. it is tempting to outsource moral actions to simplified optimization functions, which entice us to jump to conclusions about what is good. The question, though, is whether or not Singer encourages this. That is a tougher case. My sense is that Singer would NOT explicitly endorse that kind of behavior, even if he DOES implicitly endorse it, as a way to nudge people to become "more moral than they might otherwise be" according to his tastes.
-
All humans lean on moral frameworks to make daily decisions, structure their lives, decide what to do with their time, and determine how to act in the world, including elites.
Important point. People, especially those who are not philosophers, outsource their moral decision-making and opinion-forming to their "cave" of opinion, and moral habits formed therein.
-
What I want to convince you of is that the values of neoliberalism don’t just dictate our economic lives but also influence our moral and spiritual lives, and that neoliberalism does so by asserting values that directly conflict with what it is to be human. Fortunately, there is a convenient way to investigate this influence. Gray’s list (“individualist, egalitarian, universalist, and meliorist”), is essentially the philosophy of Peter Singer.
Calling this out as the thrust of the piece. Is Rudy able to defend this point? (FWIW seems like it's still an interesting argument, even if the neolib/lib distinction is not make perfectly clear.)
-
A big focus of neoliberalism is on the individual.
It'll be a heavy lift to differentiate neolib from lib on the basis of individualism, i.e., to say that liberalism does NOT focus on the individual.
-
But perhaps the most interesting claim of Gray’s list is that liberalism is “meliorism.” If you think about it, it is quite odd that a political philosophy founded on freedoms could evolve to the point where its defenders believe its purpose is to make the world better.
This doesn't strike me as a conflict. In Second Treatise Ch 5, doesn't Locke more or less explicitly call for the conquering of nature/wilderness for the sake of improving the world? Improving in the sense of "making more productive."

There were times when it generated “hallucinations”—that is, it would suggest standards that didn’t make sense or align with the lesson. The key to avoiding these pitfalls was to treat AI as part of a human-centered workflow. AI is great for doing the heavy lifting, but I’ve learned that it’s not meant to produce a final deliverable on its own.
AI drawbacks and issues
-
Instead of using the basic chat function, I trained a custom GPT (generative pre-trained transformer) for CEFR standards alignment. I started by uploading a PDF of the CEFR standards, including the rubric specifically designed for teaching world languages.
AI use described
-
My team had initially developed our curriculum to align with the ACTFL standards, which are widely used in the United States for world language education, but we decided to show how our curriculum also meets the CEFR standards. It felt like a daunting task. That’s where AI turned what could have been a tedious process into something far more manageable—and teachers can do the same thing with their lessons.
Problem proposed and AI as the solution.

a dominant belief that “native English = standardEnglish = international intelligibility” (also reigning in the Anglophonecampus examined in Beirut), where students are required to conform toand reproduce putatively fixed and standardized native English speaker(NES)10 norms and criteria of correctness in their academic studies,continues to hold sway (Jenkins 2014, 122)
This is a predominate view of language even in anglophone Africa. I can confidently speak at least to my experience as a Ghanaian. Up until university, I was taught to aspire to a native-like (standard English) proficiency in speaking and writing which also equates to white-English. As an English major and a sociolinguist, I learned to deconstruct that notion. My class room experiences helped me challenge that supposed ideal of reaching 'native English' = 'Standard English'.

Three sentences on what I just read,
I believe that BAP is aware of his place in history just like I assume Yuval does. Both authors are not writing as bots recording facts but provide a specialized idological prism to see our current civilization through. Each prisim has its own take, Yuval trying to articulate what the Silicon Valley "Open Conspiracy" types dream of. BAP trying to remind us what it was like to actually be part of history.
The "Why don't CEO's have Harrem's" is the one thing here that is going to stick with me. The women of today are so different from the past. In fact maybe the "Brave New World" reality of nameless sex with strangers and nude play as children is a more desireable world to the Incel, video game, monster can drinking of today.
It seems like the Puritan/Christian sexual practices have really shaped the west into becoming what it is today. I believe most men get their sense of identity from the type of sex they have access to. What's weird about modernity is that we are talking about sex rahter than women with the inherent consideration of children.
This population collapse, as articulated on the Georga Guide Stones, is going to be interesting.
What is the Opposite of "The Open Conspiracy"

Unfortunately, too much of our era has an emotionally negative predisposition toward too many things, including our current elites, and for reasons that are mimetic rather than justified, whether rationally or even by our impulses to breed.
I think this is why Curtis Yarvin's first instruction in Gray Mirror is to detach

“I will add only that Nietzsche says somewhere that it is the duty of a philosopher to promote precisely those virtues or tendencies of spirit that are most lacking in one’s own time…” For all its pretense to the contrary, that is exactly what this book does not achieve.
I think we could use more "Bronce Age Mindset" right now. But if every other philsopher was promoting that and not just Bap and his little cult +Andrew Tate I agree we might have a problem.

The
It’s the first study with enough data to do this kind of comparison, and it offers strong evidence about the factors that influence people’s chances of moving beyond the economic status they were born into. Some of the key factors include education, family structure, and the economic setup of the cities people live in.
-
Both white and black residents of Atlanta have low upward mobility, for instance.
This is a case where while being a certain race can make the journey up hard, being born in a "bad area" can make it difficult to, regardless of who you are. People born in these circumstances have no choice but to fight harder to enjoy the same life others can achieve with far less effort, a fact that, while unfair, is true.

“Where you grow up matters,” said Nathaniel Hendren, a Harvard economist and one of the study’s authors.
This rings true to many people around the world, not just America. Whereas some people in the US have to "climb their way out" where they are from, people from the Philippines for example, have to work their way to places like the US for better life prospects. And still, they want to be near an urban area where jobs pay more, not in the middle of nowhere where some Americans are born into.

Her nearly four-hour round-trip stems largely from the economic geography of Atlanta,
This seems absurd to me. Why are there no good jobs near her? Why is she stuck spending a sixth of her day traveling to and from work? There needs to be more accessible jobs, or at least, more efficient transportation.

Looking up a topic up on the internet, getting ideas, and writing about it is very different from copying sections from an article without attribution. Similarly, direct copying from content produced by generative AI tools requires disclosure, but using that content for ideation does not. Consider also the need for accountability. Blindly trusting in generative AI output is unwise and often unethical. AI output cannot be cited because it is not referenceable. Validating AI output by consulting reliable sources to arrive at a sound conclusion is surely reasonable.
Sounds like we should be teaching people to skip the middleman (middle bot?) and just go to the “reliable sources,” then, huh?

One of the early ways of social communication across the internet was with Email, which originated in the 1960s and 1970s. These allowed people to send messages to each other, and look up if any new messages had been sent to them.
It's also interesting to know that the first ever version of the internet was just a connection of multiple computers at first and then evolved into this network where users could only read, to now doing so many stuff with it.

Come lovely and soothing death, Undulate round the world, serenely arriving, arriving, In the day, in the night, to all, to each, Sooner or later delicate death. Prais’d be the fathomless universe, For life and joy, and for objects and knowledge curious, And for love, sweet love—but praise! praise! praise! For the sure-enwinding arms of cool-enfolding death. Dark mother always gliding near with soft feet, Have none chanted for thee a chant of fullest welcome? Then I chant it for thee, I glorify thee above all, I bring thee a song that when thou must indeed come, come unfalteringly. Approach strong deliveress, When it is so, when thou hast taken them I joyously sing the dead, Lost in the loving floating ocean of thee, Laved in the flood of thy bliss O death. From me to thee glad serenades, Dances for thee I propose saluting thee, adornments and feastings for thee, And the sights of the open landscape and the high-spread sky are fitting, And life and the fields, and the huge and thoughtful night. The night in silence under many a star, The ocean shore and the husky whispering wave whose voice I know, And the soul turning to thee O vast and well-veil’d death, And the body gratefully nestling close to thee. Over the tree-tops I float thee a song, Over the rising and sinking waves, over the myriad fields and the prairies wide, Over the dense-pack’d cities all and the teeming wharves and ways, I float this carol with joy, with joy to thee O death.
In the seven consecutive unrhymed four-line stanzas, Whitman provides the song's lyrics. An apostrophe directly addresses the celebration of death in these stanzas. Whitman wishes for death to arrive since he believes it will eventually come to everyone, day or night, and he sees it as a peaceful incident. He praises the universe and love in the second of these stanzas, but he also hails death, as if it were an equal partner in love. He addresses death as a mother and welcomes her in the song's third verse. The fifth verse claims that Whitman will sing with the dead when their time comes since death is an ocean of love and happiness, using the bird's song as a metaphor. This subject is carried over into the last three stanzas of the bird's song. Death, for body and soul alike, is welcome wherever it occurs. The song in favor of death is spread throughout the nation, over cities, fields, and prairies, as the final verse makes clear. It is a song of joy even if it is a song of death.
-
Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well, For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and lands—and this for his dear sake, Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
Whitman leaves behind his vision of the battlefield, the lilac plant blooming in the dooryard, the sight of the evening star, and the song of the bird and the song it inspired in him. But for the sake of the deceased guy he loved, he will always remember them all.
-
Sadly sinking and fainting, as warning and warning, and yet again bursting with joy,
Leaves all of these memories behind with joy
-
But I saw they were not as was thought, They themselves were fully at rest, they suffer’d not, The living remain’d and suffer’d, the mother suffer’d, And the wife and the child and the musing comrade suffer’d, And the armies that remain’d suffer’d.
Though he sees countless skeletons and bodies, he understands that these troops are now at peace and are no longer in pain. The living are the ones who suffer—the surviving soldiers, the surviving loved ones of the deceased, and the legions of survivors.
-
The violet and purple morn with just-felt breezes, The gentle soft-born measureless light, The miracle spreading bathing all, the fulfill’d noon, The coming eve delicious, the welcome night and the stars,
Whitman expands this mental image to involve Manhattan in New York City as well as the entire country, extending from north to south and east to west. He praises the sun in the morning, midday, and evening, as well as the stars and the night sky. He calls the whole thing a miracle.
-
Sea-winds blown from east and west, Blown from the Eastern sea and blown from the Western sea, till there on the prairies meeting, These and with these and the breath of my chant, I’ll perfume the grave of him I love.
Whitman questions himself how he can show the man he loved the most that he has lost. What melodies can he perform, what scent can he leave behind after he dies? He chooses to use a metaphor to describe the winds as the breath of his song, which originate in the east and meet in the prairies. He's going to cover the grave with that perfume.
-
But a moment I linger, for the lustrous star has detain’d me, The star my departing comrade holds and detains me.
The star, which represents a person's loss, seeks to distract the bird while it sings, holding and imprisoning him.
-
I hear, I come presently, I understand you,
Whitman listens, understands, and encourages the singing bird to keep singing.

My lovers suffocate me, Crowding my lips, thick in the pores of my skin, Jostling me through streets and public halls, coming naked to me at night, Crying by day Ahoy! from the rocks of the river, swinging and chirping over my head, Calling my name from flower-beds, vines, tangled underbrush, Lighting on every moment of my life, Bussing my body with soft balsamic busses, Noiselessly passing handfuls out of their hearts and giving them to be mine.

I never thought of the idea of social media prior to internet. I always made the connections that social media was created after internet. But after reading this i can understand how graffti as well as books can be considered social media.

Graffiti and other notes left on walls were used for sharing updates, spreading rumors, and tracking accounts
This reminds me of a joke popular in WWI, where soldiers found graffiti stating "Kilroy was here" with a long-nosed bald man peeking over something. It was a simple doodle to recreate, so the graffiti spread with multiple actors contributing.
-
pretty much anything can count as social media, and the things we will see in internet-based social media show up in many other places as well.
I find this to be very interesting because history classes don't really mention or bring up this topic too often when it comes to making connections between the past and present when it comes to social media and the development of communication mediums.

This part of the reaiding racial disparities in housing opportunities in the mid-20th century. White Americans had the privilege of choosing where to live. At the same time, Black Americans were restricted by racial covenants—legal agreements that prevented the sale of property to non-white buyers—and racist realtors, limiting their housing options to industrial suburbs like Ferguson, located on the north side of the city.

As one of its first advertisements proclaimed in 1970, Irvine was designed to be a park-like space with white-collar industries. A pigtailed young girl is pictured standing in front of impressive modernist architecture,above these lines of less refined yet fascinating poetry: “If I could wish a place to live, / I’d wish it putsomewhere / where grass is green and flowers give / a wonder to the air. // If I could wish my daddy’s work, /I’d wish it neat and clean; / and not where smog and uglies lurk / but more like parks I’ve seen.” Thephrase “not where smog and uglies lurk” hints that other suburbs might have factories or factory workers. It isa subtle acknowledgment of spaces like Ferguson.
The phrase “not where smog and uglies lurk” suggests that other suburban areas, such as Ferguson, might be associated with factories, blue-collar work, and environmental degradation, further implying that Irvine represents a more desirable, elite alternative. The language reflects the socio-economic and racial divides that often separated white-collar, planned communities from more industrialized, working-class ones.

8Chan is also the source and home of the false conspiracy theory QAnon
I watched a documentary specifically on the QAnon conspiracy, and the documentary shifts focus early on to focusing on 8chan. It's very unnerving watching how these people use their own platform and QAnon to make the most profit, regardless of the societal harm they are causing. It is partially for this reason the documentary accuses the founders/admins of 8chan to, if not QAnon themselves, be working in collaboration with them.

The comedy website Something Awful was created in 1999, and it included web forums where many popular memes of the day originated. While the Something Awful forums had edgy content, one 15-year-old member of the Something Awful forum called “Anime Death Tentacle Rape Whorehouse” was frustrated by content restrictions on Something Awful, and created his own new site with less restrictions: 4Chan. 5.5.2. 4Chan# 4Chan was created in 2003 by copying the code from a Japanese image-sharing bulletin board called Futaba or 2chan.
Its funny how even on a site named "Something awful" a person still felt restricted. But I cant say im mad about it because i feel like i heard a couple useful stories from 4chan due to the lack of restrictions.

8Chan (now called 8Kun) is an image-sharing bulletin board site that was started in 2013. It has been host to white-supremacist, neo-nazi and other hate content. 8Chan has had trouble finding companies to host its servers and internet registration due to the presence of child sexual abuse material (CSAM), and for being the place where various mass shooters spread their hateful manifestos. 8Chan is also the source and home of the false conspiracy theory QAnon
Whenever I think of the dark web, I see 8Chan to be a platform amongst the most accessible. The concept of it is absolutely unhinged and it is wild how they were able to manage to keep the site up and running. It is quite alarming to think that if a community of problematic incels could create such a toxic website, imagine what they could do next.

I feel like the user interface is a super important part of social media as if we talked about in class for making connections and meeting new people. I forgot what that circle you made in class was but it goes over what social media does to you as a person and what you can gain from it as well. But overall the user interface I would say connects a lot to the circle you showed us.

Designers sometimes talk about trying to make their user interfaces frictionless, meaning the user can use the site without feeling anything slowing them down.
Yes, that is important when navigating the need to create a program that is 'user-friendly." Users can navigate more efficiently when an interface clearly communicates how it should be interacted with could reduce errors and frustrations significantly. Strong feature support promotes product success by facilitating ease of use and increasing user satisfaction, which is key in today’s competitive digital environment.

Psychosocial deprivations also seem to be a cause of gambling-like behavior in both pigeons and humans
Dopamine is the brain's "reward" chemical, and it gets released when we expect something good, like food or positive social interaction. When someone experiences social deprivation, such as a lack of maternal care, the brain compensates by releasing more dopamine to motivate the person to seek rewards or comfort elsewhere. This increased dopamine release drives people to find other rewarding activities, sometimes leading to risky behaviors like gambling, where they continue seeking that dopamine-fueled reward, even when the outcomes are uncertain
-
but the attractiveness of uncertain rewards is so widespread in the animal kingdom that this tendency should have an adaptive origin. Here we suggest a hypothesis
In nature, animals can’t always predict when they’ll find food or other important things. First, resources like food are spread out randomly, so animals have to keep trying until they find what they need. Second, cues that signal rewards, like fruit trees, aren't always reliable because the trees don’t have fruit all year. When animals face this uncertainty, their motivation kicks in to keep them going, even when they keep failing. This explains why unpredictability, like in gambling, can keep people engaged even when they’re losing.
