1.Social media has negative impacts on in person connections and spreads hate throughout the world. Overall I think my thesis statement was pretty strong, it gave a good overview of what I was going to say in my essay. One thing I would say I could improve on is maybe making my thesis a tiny bit longer, but I definitely think I did a pretty good job on thesis since I was able to connect many points that proved my…
Overall this article was a lot about how empathy can be a different thing in peoples minds. The first topic the author talks about is how empathy can be easier to come across if you are really close to the person you are getting empathy from the author even says “its far easier to empathize with those who are close to us”. The author also says that for some people a white person talking to a white person about empathy…
Paragraph without Naysayer: Arguments on twitter and engaging people in a sarcastic way seemed to resonate with Phelps Roper like when she talks with Abitbol about a holiday thats coming up for him and makes fun of the holiday she says “Thats handy with yom kippur coming up!” (Chen 10), she spreads hate through speaking in a sarcastic manner. She seems to only have “fun” when she has a meaningful/sarcastic argument with someone. Like I said earlier when she and…

I got feedback saying that I explained my quotes well and backed it up with valid evidence that revolved around my thesis which was very helpful to know that I did that right. Then I got some feedback saying that I should expand on some of the points I make so that will…

I am very interested that the brain will change so much by just using social media and sticking to only online interactions to the point where humans could struggle with face to face conversations and lack the experience to ever have a in-person conversation. As Konnikova tells about the fear of humans…
Before:In my opinion a good friend doesn’t make you change your style or your personality and doesn’t force you to do things. This connects to elements in the reading because they say that the smallest group is almost always family since you are truly who you are around your family. You will definity be a little different if you are raised with mostly online interactions but you will find other people that will also most just be online and you…
As Chens piece goes on you see Megan Phelps emotions change throughout the piece, she starts out being a very pro god woman and was very anti homosexual as seen here “Phelps rope believed that AIDS was a curse sent by god (Unfollow Pg.1)”. As the story continues she starts to move in the middle of her emotions and maybe think that her church could be spreading lies and that they are wrong. Then towards the end of the story…
