    1. The woman in the painting is Dora Marr, a French photographer he was in a relationship. Their complex relationship caused her a lot of suffering,

      good specific context

    2. She looks dissociative but sad. She is wearing a coat which fits her modern time and a beautiful hat. The hat worn inside covering the sides shows that she's not too interested in conversation. Her expression is dissociative but depressing as she gazes off into her mug, across an empty chair, in a room that lacks connection and interaction.

      your empathy here is very clear!

    3. {Content}: Stanczyk is sitting alone in the room with a jester costume on while a party or event is going on. There are crumbled-up newspapers in the background of this poorly lit room. He is sitting with a look of concern and despair as his body looks tense but his eyes gloomy. He is in an isolated state as the weight of his oppressed country weighs on his shoulders. He feels the impact of his country as he stares off into the distance, tuning out the noise from the other room. {Context}: This painting was created in the 19th century during the oppression of Poland that was caused by Russia taking over Smolensk. The country was struggling as a whole and it was uncertain what the future would bring

      these are both good summaries, but they are missing the analysis using vocabulary.

    4. It's such an intriguing emotion because of how largely it impacts someone's life. It can make it difficult to do the easy things and send one's mindset into cycles we feel stuck in. I want to express the importance of acknowledging this emotion and being able to understand it.

      I like the idea of empowerment!

    5. Innerworkings of Despair

      great image for your title element - very high impact!

    1. "What memories does this artwork evoke for you?" and "How can you apply the lessons of love depicted here in your own life?" By inviting visitors to engage actively with these concepts, I aim to create a lasting impact that encourages self-discovery and personal growth, ultimately creating a more compassionate world

      great ambition

    2. The contrasting hues create a visual tension that enhances the emotional impact of the piece, inviting viewers to engage with the intensity of the moment.

      good point

    3. Romance

      I was not familiar with this Benton work - very cool!

    4. Moreover, the painting invites viewers to engage with the couple's expressions and body language. While they do not make direct eye contact, their hands communicate a deep intimacy

      nice

    5. This dynamic hints at a loving partnership rather than one dominated by power, showing how love can transcend societal expectations

      I always think of Rembrandt as a solid dude.

    6. This painting can be seen as both a personal testament to their love and a strategic move to solidify his status within the upper echelons of society.

      does that reduce the love aspect do you think?

    7. The popularity of such images reflects the societal values and artistic tastes of the time, offering modern viewers insight into how love was idealized and portrayed during this time

      good point

    8. This transformation can be seen as both an expression of vulnerability and a commentary on the challenges faced by women artists seeking autonomy in their work. "The Waltz' serves as a poignant reflection of both Claudel's personal experiences and the societal constraints of her time, i

    9. which often restricted women's artistic freedom. In response to this criticism, Claudel modified her original design by draping the female figure, a decision that highlights the tension between artistic intent and societal expectations.

      complex context for her

    10. , Claudel's relationship with her mentor, Auguste Rodin, adds a layer of personal context that deeply informs the interpretation of this piece.

      good specific context

    12. llustrating how love can infuse ordinary moments with extraordinary significance. Additionally, the vibrant color palette—dominated by reds, greens, and blacks—enhances the emotional intensity of the piece.

      well said!

    13. The act of kissing Bella while suspended in mid-air conveys the idea that love transcends the mundane aspects of life, allowing the couple to escape the bounds of gravity and reality.

      well said!

    14. a limited color palette, dominated by warm earthy tones, which creates a sense of intimacy and closeness. The composition is tightly focused on the two figures, with their bodies forming a central, almost circular shape that draws the viewer's eye. The artist's use of light and shadow is masterful, with soft modeling that enhances the sense of volume and physicality of the lovers. The texture of the fresco technique adds a unique quality to the piece, giving it a timeless feel. Altdorfer's attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the figures' facial expressions and the gentle intertwining of their bodies, which conveys a strong emotional connection. The negative space

      great form analysis!

    15. context and the broader cultural landscape of his time, illustrating how art can encapsulate evolving perceptions of love and intimacy within society.

      good summary

    16. The specific context of Renoir’s life also enriches the interpretation of this piece. At the time of its creation, Renoir was exploring themes of intimacy and affection, often drawing inspiration from his own relationships. The couple depicted in The Lovers can be seen as an embodiment of his personal experiences, particularly as the woman is believed to be Aline Charigot, who later became his wife.

      good specific context!

    17. how form—through composition, line, texture, and detail—can convey profound emotional narratives,

      great observations!

    18. he use of line is particularly striking; Canova employs naturalistic curves that guide the eye around the figures. For instance, Psyche's outstretched arms and flowing hair create a sense of movement, while Cupid’s more vertical posture establishes a visual balance between the two figures.

      great observations!

      great observations!

    20. rofound exploration of love's many dimensions, making it an essential piece for understanding how artists depict this complex emotion

      I agree with that!

    21. the serene expression on Venus's face conveys a sense of peace and acceptance, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences with love in its various forms—romantic, familial, or platonic.

      this seems like a big leap. but ok..

    22. The choice of Venus, as a representation of divine love, underscores the notion that love is not merely a physical attraction but also encompasses emotional and spiritual connections. The painting is rich in symbolism; for instance, the shell represents birth and new beginnings, while the presence of other figures, such as Zephyrus (the god of the wind) and Flora (the goddess of flowers), emphasizes the idea that love is intertwined with nature and life itself. This connection suggests that love is a fundamental force that nurtures and sustains existence.

      good content analysis

    23. The artwork's subtext suggests a relationship between physical desire and spiritual connection, a common theme in Renaissance art.

      great observations!

    24. I want these images to soften our hearts,

      well said and evokative!

    25. Especially in this generation, love is slowly becoming lost, not only in relationships, but I see friendships, families, and other relationships fall apart.

      don't give up on it yet!!

    26. Different Perspectives of Love found in Art.

    1. research about humans that is not human-subjects research.

      paradoxical because suggests research needs to be done on humans without the use of humans

    2. Researchers represent themselves as dealing with systems and math, not people—human data is treated as a substrate for testing systems, not the object of interest in itself.

      people used for data science research seen as nothing more than test subjects, underscoring the importance of the need for ethical boundaries in research

    3. There have been several recent cases where de-identified data that was released publicly was able to be re-identified, or where data that was assumed to have no identifying features could be correlated with specific populations.

      Are the risks that it provides worth the effort of releasing the data to the public? if so why or why not

    4. The proposed changes will include privacy safeguards in the form of best practices for protecting sensitive data, which IRBs can use as a list of acceptable practices

      What are the current ideas for these privacy safe guards, even if they aren't written there must at least be a concept.

    5. human data is treated as a substrate for testing systems, not the object of interest in itself.

      In what ways does this human data differ from the object itself.

    6. By historicizing extant research ethics norms and regulations, we are able to see the disjunctions with the epistemic conditions of data sciences as one more site of negotiation and improvement rather than an implacable conflict.

      as science and technology advances, ethical boundaries must develop and advance alongside it

    7. Of course, a case can be made that academic researchers should have access to public datasets in order to fully understand their potential and risk

      If academic researchers have access to these data sets what kinds of risk is there too it.?

    8. But there are now so many data sets about individuals in the public domain

      relates to Visible Man about how data and information is collected on everyone, whether consented to or not

    9. While these principles get the bulk of attention, perhaps the most consequential contribution for fields like data science is the attempt to define the boundary between research and practice.

      So the with the attempt to define the boundary between research and practice where is the line drawn

    10. Similarly, the regulatory agencies are criticized for addressing ethics with a one-size-fits-all approach, and then applying those rules inconsistently across similar cases, which creates unfair burdens on researchers and expensive delays to research projects (Abbott and Grady, 2011;

      they try fitting all these things into this small bubble of ethics and regulations.

    11. f Big Data. Big Data research methods exacerbate a long-standing tension between the social sciences and research regulations that are

      what are the key ethical challenges ?

    12. growing divide between

      ethical challenges are what identify the growing gap between research ethics and data science practices

    13. There are growing discontinuities between the research practices of data science and established tools of research ethics regulation. Some of the core commitments of existing research ethics regulations, such as the distinction between research and practice, cannot be cleanly exported from biomedical research to data science research. Such discontinuities have led some data science practitioners and researchers to move toward rejecting ethics regulations outright. These shifts occur at the same time as a proposal for major revisions to the Common Rule—the primary regulation governing human-subjects research in the USA—is under consideration for the first time in decades. We contextualize these revisions in long-running complaints about regulation of social science research and argue data science should be understood as continuous with social sciences in this regard. The proposed regulations are more flexible and scalable to the methods of non-biomedical research, yet problematically largely exclude data science methods from human-subjects regulation, particularly uses of public datasets. The ethical frameworks for Big Data research are highly contested and in flux, and the potential harms of data science research are unpredictable. We examine several contentious cases of research harms in data science, including the 2014 Facebook emotional contagion study and the 2016 use of geographical data techniques to identify the pseudonymous artist Banksy. To address disputes about application of human-subjects research ethics in data science, critical data studies should offer a historically nuanced theory of “data subjectivity” responsive to the epistemic methods, harms and benefits of data science and commerce

      how can we ensure that data is used ethically and responsibly ,especially when it involves sensitive personal information?

    14. We contextualize these revisions in long-running complaints about regulation of social science research and argue data science should be understood as continuous with social sciences in this regard. The proposed regulations are more flexible and scalable to the methods of non-biomedical research, yet problematically largely exclude data science methods from human-subjects regulation,

      what specific ethical considerations should be applied to data science research that involves human subjects ?

    15. Some of the core commitments of existing research ethics regulations, such as the distinction between research and practice, cannot be cleanly exported from biomedical research to data science research.

      core commitments highlight the disconnect between traditional research ethics and data science practices.

    16. For example, Librett and Perrone (2010) claim that ethnography operates at ethical and epistemic odds with human-subjects protections, and that university IRBs undermine ethnographic knowledge and discipline-specific ethical practices by risking confidentiality.

      I, argue, it is the exact opposite. Ethnographic is defined as: "relating to the scientific description of peoples and cultures with their customs, habits, and mutual differences." The very DEFINITION displays the large importance of people in ethnographic knowledge, and to do this, we have to risk confidentiality with consent, of course. I feel like there is not a big issue as long as there is consent, by I understand the view that keeping things hush hush IS necessary for data collection. To me, you can't really ever have a stalemate or in-between with this type of collection and time period, there will only ever be two polarizing extremes.

    17. Further, data science methods create an abstract relationship between researchers and subjects, where work is being done at a distant remove from the communities most concerned, and where consent often amounts to an unread terms of service or a vague privacy policy.

      This reminds me of the "Atlas of AI" reading, as well as answering my question of when is too much. The inhumane nature of this collection and it being on a mass scale is very reminiscent of "Atlas of AI".

    18. Publicly available data can be put to a wide range of secondary uses, including being combined with other data sets, that can pose serious risks to individuals and communities.

      The question of ethics also comes into play when, again, asking how this data is collected. I refuse to believe this data is always voluntary.

    19. Critical data studies is in its infancy

      I feel like this also provides to how early one can do a critical data study, with infants, although the availability for any type of data will be limited.

    20. We examine several contentious cases of research harms in data science, including the 2014 Facebook emotional contagion study and the 2016 use of geographical data techniques to identify the pseudonymous artist Banksy.

      Before even starting, as I read the abstract, I'm curious how this data was collected, willingly or otherwise. On top of this, it is a very odd question for companies, that are in no way scientific, to ask such personal questions. I feel like this, in a way, set the expectation for what I should expect from this article.

    21. research is about cultural texts, not social spaces, and therefore should be considered closer to history or biography and be exempt from research regulation

      Sounds like a loophole created to benefit their purposes.

    22. Yet, it may be unnecessary to create an entirely new definition of what counts as a research subject in data science

      Humans will never stop learning about things around them or themselves. It's okay that they are subjects but they cannot just be seen as data. it's important to see the context and nuance behind data.

    23. Datasets and algorithms have historical, material specificity that is laden with political and ethical values

      Datasets are not just numbers, they are representations of individuals. That is why it's important to have regulations on the data of individuals.

    24. By applying specialized tools for tracking terrorists, Hauge et al. revealed sensitive patterns of movement over several decades.

      What tools do they have that are specialized for tracking terrorists? What makes it different from any other tracking tools?

    25. This claim is particularly striking, as it is difficult to see how tracking a specific individual (and their family) to such an invasive degree could be considered respectful of their privacy.

      Find it interesting how tracking someone could be respectful of their privacy sounds like the opposite if consent isn't given.

    26. Second, US research regulations (both the current rules and proposed revisions) exempt projects that make use of already existing, publicly available datasets on the assumption that they pose only minimal risks to the human subjects they documen

      Projects using publicly existing data is just as damaging as using new data. It is possible to use different kinds of data to track the whereabouts of an individual which has dangerous consequences.

      excerpt

    1. Jourdon Anderson Writes His Former Enslaver, 1865

      To conclude, his old master didn't seem to treat him and his father that well at all, but he kept reeling him back in with empty promises of being better. I do wonder if he actually did respond and agree to these requirements because from his history with Jourdon, I highly doubt he did agree.

    2. In answering this letter, please state if there would be any safety for my Milly and Jane, who are now grown up, and both good-looking girls. You know how it was with poor Matilda and Catherine. I would rather stay here and starve—and die, if it come to that—than have my girls brought to shame by the violence and wickedness of their young masters. You will also please state if there has been any schools opened for the colored children in your neighborhood. The great desire of my life now is to give my children an education, and have them form virtuous habits.

      What happened to Matilda and Catherine? Does he mean they were assaulted? Who are these women? I know he means that his children have grown up and are beautiful so he wants to make sure they are protected and safe from that type of event happening.

    3. Dayton, Ohio. If you fail to pay us for faithful labors in the past, we can have little faith in your promises in the future. We trust the good Maker has opened your eyes to the wrongs which you and your fathers have done to me and my fathers, in making us toil for you for generations without recompense. Here I draw my wages every Saturday night; but in Tennessee there was never any pay-day for the negroes any more than for the horses and cows. Surely there will be a day of reckoning for those who defraud the laborer of his hire.

      This must feel like a very important moment in his life reminding his old master of his actions towards his father and his masters father. Holding him accountable for his actions.

    4. As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score, as I got my free papers in 1864 from the Provost-Marshal-General of the Department of Nashville. Mandy says she would be afraid to go back without some proof that you were disposed to treat us justly and kindly; and we have concluded to test your sincerity by asking you to send us our wages for the time we served you. This will make us forget and forgive old scores, and rely on your justice and friendship in the future. I served you faithfully for thirty-two years, and Mandy twenty years. At twenty-five dollars a month for me, and two dollars a week for Mandy, our earnings would amount to eleven thousand six hundred and eighty dollars. Add to this the interest for the time our wages have been kept back, and deduct what you paid for our clothing, and three doctor’s visits to me, and pulling a tooth for Mandy, and the balance will show what we are in justice entitled to. Please send the money by Adams’s Express, in care of V. Winters, Esq.,

      I feel that he should just stay where he is. The money would be a big reason way they would move but I feel as though it just wont happen. He will still be be treated unjustly just as Mandy says he was. They were asking for quite a bit which would be harder to accommodate rather than just finding someone else to do it.

    5. I want to know particularly what the good chance is you propose to give me. I am doing tolerably well here. I get twenty-five dollars a month, with victuals and clothing; have a comfortable home for Mandy,—the folks call her Mrs. Anderson,—and the children—Milly, Jane, and Grundy—go to school and are learning well. The teacher says Grundy has a head for a preacher. They go to Sunday school, and Mandy and me attend church regularly. We are kindly treated. Sometimes we overhear others saying, “Them colored people were slaves” down in Tennessee. The children feel hurt when they hear such remarks; but I tell them it was no disgrace in Tennessee to belong to Colonel Anderson. Many darkeys would have been proud, as I used to be, to call you master. Now if you will write and say what wages you will give me, I will be better able to decide whether it would be to my advantage to move back again.

      He seems to be doing very well where he is, and he isnt being shot at. I couldnt imagine why he would move back to his old master after finally getting better conditions for him and his family.

    6. Although you shot at me twice before I left you, I did not want to hear of your being hurt, and am glad you are still living.

      why would his old master claim to give Jourdon a better life yet shoot at him twice when he left? He must have had the intention of killing him? Why is Jourdon so okay with it as well and still wishes him well?

    7. I have often felt uneasy about you. I thought the Yankees would have hung you long before this, for harboring Rebs they found at your house.

      Why did he feel uneasy about P.H. Anderson? The probability of him being killed or how he treated him while he was working for him?

    8. Black Americans hoped that the end of the Civil War would create an entirely new world, while white southerners tried to restore the antebellum order as much as they could. Most former enslavers sought to maintain control over their laborers through sharecropping contracts. P.H. Anderson of Tennessee was one such former enslaver. After the war, he contacted his former enslaved laborer Jourdon Anderson, offering him a job opportunity. The following is Jourdon Anderson’s reply.

      Why is he contacting his old laborer to come to work for him again? Why couldn't he just find someone else to do it? was it getting to the point where it was past the time of getting more help?

    3. ou will not see Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night with just your eyes. You will need to use another tool: Your imagination

      nice intro

    4. he artist used oil paints for this painting, but it look like an old photograph since it is fully black, white, and gray. The gray color gives the painting a very gloomy feeling. Even though the entire landscape does not turn gray, most colors are diluted when it is cloudy and rainy. The painting is a very extreme way of showing thi

      this seems to be mostly about Form more than content.

    5. This landscape painting depicts dark storm clouds hovering over a green field. It is clearly raining. The clouds seem to be rolling across the countryside, so the painting appears to be in motion

      this caption does not have the same level of detail as the previous ones.

    6. The artist uses thick brushstrokes to paint the clouds covering the sky. In contrast, he uses fine brushstrokes to paint the buildings below. This makes it seem like the clouds are in motion, but the buildings are staying stil

      this is great, I would love to see a few more sentences of analysis since these are great!

    7. John Frederick Kensett used a veritable palette of colors to create this masterpiece. Gentle yellows complement soft blues, grays and browns, creating a fading effect. The soft brown is highlighted with streaks of metallic bronze, adding depth and texture to the painting.

      great form analysis!

    8. ymbolize the unknown, and the blue sky symbolizes certainty. All together, the painting represents life,

      great!

    9. The art in this room shows only a selective view of the sky, we do not get the full picture

      clever idea!

    10. No matter who you are or where you live, the sky is the same for everyone.

      a nice collective sentiment!!

    1. here. Just as these artists have captured nature’s grandeur, I hope you will leave with a heightened appreciation for the ocean air and all that it offers.

      nice summary

    2. a representation of human fragility and the vulnerability of human endeavors against the vastness of the natural world

      good point!

    3. Homer’s composition places the men in the foreground. This emphasizes his struggle, while the swirling water creates a sense of motion and danger around them. The use of light and shadow is dramatic. It creates a stark contrast against the darker shadows of the water. The color palette is dominated by cool blues and greens for the sea. This contrasts with the warmer tones of the men’s skin, making the figure stand out against the tumultuous water.

      this is probably your best analysis paragraph!

    4. The symbolism of the ice and the trapped ship suggests the struggle of humanity to overcome the forces of nature.

      good point!

    5. specific context of this painting highlights the growing fascination with the power and unpredictability of the sea during the late 19th century

      this is not the correct use of the specific context

    6. This reflects the general context of 19th-century Romanticism, a movement that often focused on the sublime aspects of nature

      good point!

    7. This suggests the symbolism of the struggle between the elements and the resilience of nature.

      good point!

    8. This painting reflects the general context of the Barbizon School.

      good context

    9. symbolic subtext here, potentially illustrating the power and unpredictability of the natural world

      good point!

    10. Repetition and texture are key, with the intricate detailing of the starfish against the smooth, undisturbed sand.

      good point!

    11. subtext of harmony and balance

      good point!

    12. allegory for the interconnectedness of life within the sea.

      that works!

    15. interactive journey through the richly diverse and contrasting worlds of the ocean.

      great opener!

    1. The deliberate use of beads elevates this work into 'fine art' which amplifies the emotional aspect of the piece.

      this is very generalized. Why does it elevate to fine art? Why does it amplify the emotion? Where is the observation to support this?

    2. CHRONICLING INJUSTICE

      intersting themes in your rooms! You are missing the photogrid that shows all of your images together (see instruction video).

    3. Art and Social Change. This theme has importance to me because whether I was aware of it or not, art was always a super powerful tool for me to be able to express resilience, hope and social transformation.

      thanks for sharing!

    4. express themselves, but also respond to moments of crisis, demand justice and show their vision for a better future

      everyone can learn from this!!

    5. RESILIENT VOICES

      a great title and idea!!

    1. As Peter M. Senge writes in the introduction to David Bohm’s On Dialogue:Our personal meaning starts to become incoherent when it becomes fixed. The incoherence increases when past meaning is imposed on present situations. As this continues, yesterday’s meaning becomes today’s dogma, often losing much of its original meaningfulness in the process. A much more useful thing to do when my system starts to feel like a dead dogma is to go, “. . . oh? huh? Something feels a little off here?” and then sit with that feeling for five, ten minutes, or however long it needs to unfold.

      why does something feel hollow when it feels hollow

    1. exaggerated truths and unsubstantiated rumors for dramatic effect

      Who said?

    2. "We the big three like we started a league / but right now, I feel like Muhammad Ali."

      What does this have to do with anything being talked about?

    3. revealing Drake is a father

      Forgot to include that drake mentioned in one of the songs while going back in forth that he did not have a daughter however, social media has speculated pictures of his daughter have been revealed and even personal profiles of her own. Some users also think that they even look similar.

    4. less frequency

      What did the author mean by this?

    5. RELATED:

      Related should be an understatement as this was a huge part of the so called "fued"

    6. But it wasn’t always this way.

      What wasn't always this way?

    1. he delicate forms of birds perched on and around a small, gnarled tree.

      good observation! Many of these sound very generalized and polished, and lack that personal connection of your own thoughts and personal meaningn

    2. The soft brushstrokes create a harmonious balance between light and shadow, emphasizing the natural beauty of the setting

      good observation

    3. The context of bustling seaside life is conveyed through the lively composition and sunlit colors.

      again, not the proper use of "context" as per our analysis

    4. The texture of the brushstrokes evokes the roughness of bark and the softness of moss,

      good observation!

    5. In context, the piece reflects a tranquil rural setting, inviting contemplation of nature’s quiet beauty.

      this is not the correct use of this analysis term

    6. This work captures the viewer’s imagination, inviting them to ponder what lies beyond the door

      good observation!

    7. The textured brushstrokes convey motion and intensity, immersing the viewer in the chaos of the stormy ocean.

      true!

    8. The detailed figures aboard the vessels add a human element, emphasizing the connection between people and the sea.

      good point

    9. Colors of the Earth: This collection highlights the use of natural light, texture, and color. Inspired by tranquil forests to sunlit shores and to rhythmic waves. Each unique piece captures the essence of our planet's boundless landscapes and vibrant life.

      Good start, this is missing the impact statement.

    1. coerced

      I would argue that social media is not purely democratic, and that agenda setting can still play a role. The corporations, through their use of algorithms, play a major role in determining who sees what, and what content goes viral.

      It is interesting how the employees tend to frame issues at the company in terms of gender roles, with a kind of determinist attitude -- "we have these problems bc it's what women do" -- rather than talking more constructively about the behavioral issues at play and how they could be improved, regardless of the gender of the employees or managers.

    1. In many respects, reconnected relationships parallel the factors that con-stitute an initial interaction, since dormant relationships include similar levels of self-disclosure as casual acquaintanceship

      It is interesting to use SPT to analyze reconnection of relationships in a parallel manner to new relationships. Social penetration occurring in this instance is essentially the idea of "catching up." But it needs to be reciprocal--if one person is willing to share new details about their life and the other isn't, social penetration and therefore reconnection is unlikely to occur.

    1. his heightened reactionincreases the likelihood that an individual will become combative toward their part-ner and use the silent treatment.

      The silent treatment is a shame-based communication style--"not only did you upset me, but you don't know why so I'm going to punish you by cutting off communication." For someone who deals with anxiety or insecure attachment issues, this is extremely triggering. I found this article validating because I think open communication ("when you do X, it makes me feel this way...") is always healthier and more constructive.

    1. if you end up in a position to have an influence in tech, we want you to be able to think through the ethical implications of what you are asked to do and how you choose to respond.

      I think that one of the most subtle yet impactful decisions is questioning why certain data is collected- what seems like an innocuous field could lead to privacy risks, misuse, or unintended bias. These small choices compound into larger systemic effects, which is why fostering the ability to think critically and stand firm on ethical principles can shape the future of technology in ways that truly serve humanity.

    1. As a social media user, we hope you are informed about things like: how social media works, how they influence your emotions and mental state, how your data gets used or abused, strategies in how people use social media, and how harassment and spam bots operate.

      Beyond personal use, social media is a battleground for influence. Brands, political entities, and activist groups use sophisticated strategies like micro-targeting, sending hyper-specific content to just the right audience to shape opinions or behaviour. It's also a psychological playground where everything from colours to notifications is designed to capture your attention. For instance, the infinite scroll feature is modelled on the principles of slot machines, keeping you engaged with the promise of unpredictable rewards.

      one of the most basic but often overlooked aspects of human interactions with the environment that has come to the attention of historians and more recently the public is the impact of population growth and resource scarcity. There are number of reasons society prefers to avoid thinking about the danger of having too many humans around. We like people Especially those are close to us, and historically the growth of our own particular group has been important for survival and therefore has been desirable.

    1. China is the world’s most populous country, with over 22 provinces that cover approximately 9.6 square kilometers of land

      I wonder how the population affects the architecture?

    1. Interestingly, participants perceived the photos of Black individuals as more trustworthy than the photos of White individuals in the explicit ratings

      Why is this? Could it be a conscious effort by the participants to not seem racist? Explicit ratings involve explicit bias after all – it is not subconscious and immediate, but rather conscious and requires thought.

    2. not when only women participants were included in the analysis

      This seems to suggest that pro-White attitude correlates positively with pro-men attitude. This correlation disappears when considering only women participants, which is consistent with our understanding of correlations with racial bias. Good news: this seems to suggest that being more aware of your implicit biases and working to not make snap decisions based on race can also mean becoming less biased against other races / genders, along with becoming less biased for the white race.

    1. It is my duty however, for I am sure you would wish me to state the facts as I see them to you, to place before you certain facts about the present position in Europe.

      Churchill is saying that even though having Russia as an ally would be the most optimal, the fact is that Russia is a growing threat that needs to be surveyed constantly in order to preserve peace.

    2. We welcome Russia to her rightful place among the leading nations of the world.

      Even with the difference in ideology, Russia helped defeat the Axis powers, which grants them the opportunity to be one of the world leaders'.

    3. establishing lasting friendships

      Winston wants to preserve the relationships between both America and Russia, but their is a sense of heightened paranoia when it comes to the activities of Russia. Though the ideological differences that Russia supports threatens both America and Britain, there is still a possibility of respecting boundaries proposed by each country.
