    1. The biggest and most recent events of social media kind of back firing on an athlete are Donte Divincenzo, Mitchell Trubisky, and Laremy Tunsil.

      The video needs to be introduced with an explanation of how it contributes to your argument.

    3. So there is always a problem when people see something like this and it blew up out of proportion saying that "Kyrie only likes to party with white women". This was just a little problem as Kyrie calmly and quickly responded with a post on his instagram saying that "I was raised by all black women and raised to treat everyone with the same respect, my yacht party was not racist.

      Same as above.

    4. One most recent example is Kyrie Irving of the Boston Celtics was having a yacht party after celebrating his world championship he won with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kyrie had a video taken of him his friends and all these women.

      Needs to be re-written for clarity and flow.

    5. They know all this stuff is something that they signed up for when they made it that far, but what an athlete didn't sign up for is when they are out with their friends or just out having a good time and someone takes a video of them drinking or partying thats when everyone on social media comes out and tries to blow everything out of proportion even if its just a little thing.

      • I didn't see evidence that giving to ALS resulted in reduced funding for other medical charities.
      • You are correct to note the link between the ALS Challenge and slacktivism...but this might be one of the more positive stories that fits that label.
      • Format for references doesn't follow established formatting guidelines.
    2. to where everyone can benefit

      no

    3. what about the lives that aren’t associated with ALS

    5. want their money to make a bigger difference in the world they must donate to the organizations that need the most support

      This argument assumes that donations can affect change. If heart disease is largely hereditary, and also affected by diet, donations to organizations doing research may not be as effective as donations to diseases that may have greater potential for the discovery of a cure.

    1. Good job Masha. If you were to continue to research this topic you should include Facebook's emotional contagion study and the fallout from that. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/06/everything-we-know-about-facebooks-secret-mood-manipulation-experiment/373648/

    11. Note: Its important to understand that this definition was recently defined in the 11th draft Revision of International Classification of diseases (ICD-11). The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the basis for identification of health trends and statistics globally and the international standard for reporting diseases and health conditions. It is used by medical practitioners around the world to diagnose conditions and by researchers to categorize conditions.

      Not sure why this paragraph begins with the "Note:" identifier.

    12. “... defined in the draft 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as a pattern of gaming behavior (“digital-gaming” or “video-gaming”) characterized by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities to the extent that gaming takes precedence over other interests and daily activities, and continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences. For gaming disorder to be diagnosed, the behavior pattern must be of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning and would normally have been evident for at least 12 months.”
