    10. based on the growing number of university students that the driving factor for students to become so reliant on social media and interactive media is the easy access and functionality of these said platforms

      This is an incoherent phrase. Are we to be concerned that social media is easy to access and provides functionality?

    1. Good overall summary of dangers of body image expectations caused by mass media. However, I would like to have seen more evidence presented as to the particular dangers posed by interactive/social media. What is it about the form and function of social media that makes the issue much more problematic than it has been for users of legacy media? I also expected you to address the effect of AR and filters, e.g. in Snapchat, on young women's expectations of the perfect selfie, and how some women are have botox treatments and even surgery to try to replicate the "filter" look.

    16. We have the power to create a world that everyone feels comfortable living in. Especially marketing platforms with huge audiences, they have the reach to change the narrative. Yet they choose to sell insecurities by promoting unattainable bodies. “Young people dominate the social media scene. And brands should become aware of the impact body image ads could have on teenagers and young adults” (Pascual).


      Not sure why this section is set off with horizontal rule tags. I was expecting this to be a pull quote.

    24. Instagram banned users under 18 years old from seeing such ads because of potential harm.

      This would seem to suggest that interactivity (the ability of IG to target ads to specific demos) is actually part of the solution. The same ad in a non-interactive medium, e.g. magazine, would not be restricted to readers of a certain age.

    5. Can They Say That? Defamations and Social Media

      No need to repeat the title here.

    1. Citations/References/Works Cited should be alphabetical by authors' last names.

    2. Some people believe social media is manipulated by algorithms developed by huge corporations, which limit users' options for control to a binary choice: to use or not use their service. (Although I do appreciate your optimism!)

    3. The use of pull-quotes on page 4 becomes a big excessive.

    4. footstep = foot print?

    5. "I'm here to combat those arguments" = brave

    7. scalars = scholars

    8. Because you embedded a pdf file I can only leave comments as page notes (instead of annotations). But I will do my best to provide feedback.

    1. The media embeds (YouTube videos) appear to be simply tacked on to the beginning and end, without context or explanation of what they contribute to your thesis.

    2. You didn't post your thesis and sources to the Bb Discussion Forum so I was unable to provide assistance in the early stages of this assignment...and the result is that your thesis and supporting evidence are lacking focus and clarity.

      I don't see the connection between "filling the gaps" and developing poor dietary and exercise habits.

    6. DiRenzo, 2020

      You have given a lot of attention to this source (DiRenzo) which is about negative health effects related to social media use...but that is tangential to your thesis, which is about the danger of filling small moments of time (gaps) by engaging with social media. It feels like you're not staying focused on your thesis.

      I'm curious how you came up with these three points...is it based on some research or theory?

    1. Works Cited

      Your sources do not include the ones posted to the Discussion Forum in Bb.

    2. This is a pretty radical departure from your thesis posted in Bb.

    3. how long it takes to grow a following via social media versus the usual promoting a record label would do

      I think you should research how much more difficult and expensive it was to promote a new artist BEFORE social media. The time and effort that was required to build an audience was HUGE compared to what is possible today.

    4. “Although you can get customers to buy quality wares and influence sales of products provided by your brand, it might take some time before you can build your online reputation, your influence as a musician, and a long-term loyal fan base.This means that although you’ll be investing a lot of time, effort and even money, it is unlikely for you to just shoot up the ranks overnight. In fact, no social media marketing strategy can make you popular overnight which means you must keep your professional social media marketing game up.” (Chifley, 2018).

    5. “ We all start somewhere. It starts with a camera we got for Christmas, a piece of software that came with our laptop, or for many, including myself, guitar lessons. Whatever the medium, there is an in point that starts us down a creative path in media. The way we learn to work with that first medium can profoundly influence how we approach working with all media. Formative influences are, well, formative.”

    6. “Years ago, before Apple Music and Spotify, music consumers had to rely heavily on CD’s, cassettes, records, top charts, newspapers, and the radio to access music. Today this scene is much different. With the power of social media and the internet, literally in the palm of our hands at all times, we can get access to music in the matter of seconds. Digital music downloads replaced buying physical albums, music videos on YouTube replaced music television such as MTV, and social media sites, like Instagram and Twitter, and trending topics replaced the record labels having to create a musician’s fame. Just as the Internet gave us YouTube, digital downloads, and worldwide trending topics, it has also gifted us with the biggest craze in music: streaming.” (LeDoux, 2017).

    8. “Through the click of a button, fans can retweet a status, or comment on an artists latest Instagram post, breaking down the barrier that lies between artists and those who listen to their music. Fans can use social media to create videos, websites, artwork and fan pages that they can then post and share online, asserting their own power and influence.” (Saunderson, 2017)

    9. But anyways, we took the idea of being connected by the internet very seriously, and it resulted in the illegal downloading and dispersion of songs and digital content.

    1. These places are targeted for adults and don’t have much social media presence and i believe that if they had a social media presence and that they targeted teens as well it would be a better target for anger management and for adrenaline addicts. This would possibly change the number of crimes committed and might lead to a lower crime rate. 

      This appears to be a bold statement with little support. Your use of the phrase "I believe..." is occasionally permissible in a concluding statement, but not in other contexts.

    2. ride along experience with students

      liability issues would prevent this

    3. If students were to create social media campaigns for the war against drugs and crimes as a project for each year of high school they would be more aware of the consequences of those actions and be less likely to commit those crimes and do those drugs that they report on.

    5. engage

      Not quite the definition on which the engagement PK is based.

    1. know who they want to reach and exactly how to reach them.

      So you've correctly observed which marches receive coverage by particular partisan outlets. It would be interesting to see how the other (less partisan) media outlets frame their coverage (and how much coverage they give) for these two events.

    2. That viral video from CNN

      Hmmm, not sure which video from CNN is referenced here

    3. Great YouTube video to establish the debate
