Part 2 Intellectual standards

 

1. Depth

1. I understand that "depth" means containing complexities and multiple interrelationships, which implies thoroughness in thinking through the many variables in the situation, context, idea, question.

2. In other words, I think this means that you go through every nook and cranny you can think of when a problem or statement is more complex than you think it really is.

3. An example of someone exhibiting depth with social media would be someone posting the Xbox slogan for The Xbox series X which is "Power your Dreams" on a green background. With this, someone who doesn't know about Microsoft and Xbox wouldn't know about what it means because it lacks context.

2. Breadth

1. I understand that "breadth" means encompassing multiple viewpoints, comprehensive in view, wide-ranging and broadminded in perspective.

2. In other words, Its incorporating multiple people's views and not just one person.

3. An example of someone exhibiting breadth with social media would be someone talking about multi-culturalism with people of other cultures and getting their view of if white is a culture or not.

3. Logic

1. I understand that "logic" means the parts make sense together, no contradictions; in keeping with the principles of sound judgment and reasonability

2. In other words, If everything makes sense when it is together then it must mean it is correct.

3. An example of someone exhibiting logic with social media would be if a streamer on Twitter tweeted a post about Call of duty having a New operator next season from the leaked images and the company Sledgehammer confirms that the new operator will be in the game midway through the next season.

4. Significance

1. I understand that "significance" means having importance, being of consequence; having considerable or substantial meaning.

2. In other words, it is a very special or important thing and it holds value

3. An example of someone exhibiting significance with social media would be a post about a pokemon card that is special to someone because it was one of their first cards as a child. But that card also dates back to 1995 and is part of a rare collection that held value aka money.

5. Fairness

1. I understand that "fairness" means being free from bias, dishonesty, favoritism, selfish interest, deception, or injustice.

2. In other words, it is equal that's what it is, there are no tricks being pulled.

3. An example of someone exhibiting fairness with social media would be a post talking about how voting for a presidential candidate was rigged but was proven not to be.

The concepts of the intellectual standards are there to keep everything on the internet/social media in order with stuff like Depth and logic. I guess it also shows us the cause and effect of social media because someone can say something but it could be wrong or right depending on the context.

1. The purpose of the assignment is to get the reader to understand all of the intellectual standards of social media and how it is used daily.

The key question at the heart of the assignment is How can these intellectual standards help you in daily life?
