Google listed the age range and gender it thought you were. It thought I was a man, and somewhere between 35 and 44. I was 28.
This is kind of disturbing and I really didn't know that Google can do this.

can twist public opinion to their benefit and even profit at our expense.
Interesting to think about, I always thought info graphics were reliable and trust worthy. Especially for us college students who can't always research in depth, these graphics save us time

Research shows that people are more likely to share content that elicits outrage, something that social media platforms facilitate by letting you share your anger with your peers, say, by tapping on a scowling emoji.
Very interesting, it's kind of crazy thinking how social media companies track what your activity is like and what your moral outrages are.

it was clear that forums have transformed buying, and even dating; decisions that affect our daily lives.
I actually never knew that there were ratings for dating people, very interesting.

build a positive reputation and connect with millions of individuals in ways that would have been too expensive and time-consuming in the pre-Internet days.
How technology benefits businesses is very interesting, thinking about before the times of the web and how hard business owners would work to get their reputation out there in the public.

feeds the popular perception that online consumers wield huge power, and that a few strong words on sites such as Yelp or Amazon can make a business change its ways pronto or go kaput.
Why is it that online reviews are more trustworthy than face to face interactions that have testimonies?

. They see themselves as detectives searching for evidence among primary sources to a mystery that can never be completely solved. Wouldn't this image be more enticing to a bored high school student? It would, and that's one reason why thinking like a historian deserves a place in the American classroom, the sooner the better.
Putting yourself in history and along side with the historians, solving the mysteries students learn in boring lectures.

“Nope. Just memorize facts and stuff, know 'em cold, and when you get the test, give it all back to the teacher.”
Interesting how highschools ought to teach students on proper techniques, such as critical thinking, for studying.

The ultimate aim, it seems, is to turn campuses into “safe spaces” where young adults are shielded from words and ideas that make some uncomfortable
Although, hateful words are not acceptable, we live in a society where this is not the case always. We can't just turn our heads and "shelter" college students as if they were 2 years old. They have to learn to defend themselves and realize that they are adults and they can handle what life throws at them.

The installation gave examples of microaggressions such as “Aren’t you supposed to be good at math?” and “I’m colorblind! I don’t see race.” But a backlash arose among other Asian American students, who felt that the display itself was a microaggression. The association removed the installation, and its president wrote an e-mail to the entire student body apologizing to anyone who was “triggered or hurt by the content of the microaggressions.”
This is just my opinion, but aren't your just drawing more attention to the negative side of this? Once you start pinpointing those terms, people start to use them more. I really don't think these terms become an issue, unless people use it for the negative or people drawing attention to it. Our society is growing on the capability of humans being able to fight and succeed in life. How are we able to live in this world with conflict and no confidence in people. In my eyes people who are offended by these, shouldn't draw so much attention to it.

t is a microaggression to ask an Asian American or Latino American “Where were you born?,” because this implies that he or she is not a real American.
This is really eye opening because the way my parents and I talked were in this same context. In my opinion people judge to quickly and don't understand that not everyone means what they say in a, "violent" or offensive way. Sometimes words just have to be honest

omething strange is happening at America’s colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense.
Interesting, in our day and age it's very difficult to mold students minds. After them being coded to talking and speaking verbage in a specific way.

Using critical thinking

Something that I should really get a habit into. Although I do sometimes do that, not typically on breaking news.

Read the "About Us" section
I would've never thought about this, very interesting.

she created and shared a document with them of how to think about sources, as well as a list of misleading, satirical and fake sites.
I really think high school teachers should start this trend. It will then develop that critical thinking mind in younger students, which will carry on with them throughout college.

Finding the sources and doing more research
-
I really think when reading articles or watching the news, sources are important. We ought to look at where these news outlets are getting their information.

Think of regular media as a one-way street where you can read a newspaper or listen to a report on television, but you have very limited ability to give your thoughts on the matter. Social media, on the other hand, is a two-way street that gives you the ability to communicate too.
Very interesting, I would've never thought of there being completely two different media outlets. Being a staff of Met Media, specifically with the Metropolitan, it's promotes questions on how we as the newspaper can promote more active users in the traditional media outlets. I think of how we upload the newspaper also on the web so that students may access it quicker and more convenient.

Children and teenagers are especially susceptible to cyberbullying because they take more risks when it comes to posting on social media. And now that we all interact on social media via our mobile devices, most major platforms make it possible to share our locations, opening up the doors for cyberstalkers to target us.
In our day an age this is really important to keep in mind. It's been a constant trouble that continues to linger. How are we able to prevent cyberbullying from continuing?

Review, rating or voting systems: Besides liking and commenting, lots of social media sites and apps rely on the collective effort of the community to review, rate and vote on information that they know about or have used. Think of your favorite shopping sites or movie review sites that use this social media feature.
I think this is very big in the social media world. Getting feedback from society so that a business can fix their mistakes, promotes their growth and benefits us as a community.
