    Today I read “TWITTER GOES TO COLLEGE” by Zach Miners. This is about how different professors at different colleges around the country are incorporating the social media site “Twitter” into their classrooms. Essentially “Twitter” uses 140 character maximum blurbs that can be viewed by anyone. This is easy for classrooms to use when they have too many people in the classroom. This allows the students to send in their opinion of the topic without being shut out by someone talking louder than them. It is also helpful for professors who want to keep up to date on topics that have something to do with the class. Though it is helpful, there is also criticism about how it decreases attention span and makes grammar…

    George Barton's Death

    • 4 Pages

    Death is usually a word most people never want to think or talk about. But death is something that's always going to be there no matter what, it’s inevitable and part of our human life cycle. The worst way a person can die is alone. When people imagine a funeral they usually picture people, wearing black, crying for the person being buried. People never imagine a person being alone when they pass away with no one there to claim their body. Nobody wants to die alone, they want to be remembered. Imagine what it was like for George Bell to have no one there for him in, “The Lonely Death of George Bell” by N. R. Kleinfield.…

    Persuasive Essay On Ebola

    • 1051 Words
    • 5 Pages

    One of the popular tweets came from music performer, Chris Brown. Chris Brown tweeted "I don't know ... But I think that this Ebola epidemic is a form of population control. Shit is getting crazy bruh." Brown’s tweet suggests that he only posted about Ebola to start a trend and get paid. Pia Gadkari's article, "How does Twitter make money?" states that twitter is a nonprofit company but that Twitter makes money in three ways: “...by promoting a tweet that will appear in people's timelines, promoting a whole account, or promoting a trend." With 15.1 million followers, Chris Brown’s devoted fans will begin to retweet and post about Ebola. The downside of social media, the ability to export information in seconds all over the world, causes Brown’s opinion on Ebola a bad reputation of the United States. Individuals from other countries that did not know about the scare would have thought that the U.S. government actually was terrorizing their citizens. Chris Brown’s tweet demonstrates the political turmoil social media…
