Fals information

 Im going to use the Facebook article as an example and I think that it's a great article because they share solutions to the problem of fake news being shown to the public. The article mentions BuzzFeed and Im going to not put bias into this but I don't trust BuzzFeed most of the time. But other than that news is the news and a lot of it can be faked. I've seen a multitude of fake media on social media especially on TikTok where misinformation could be lurking around the corner. SO on the topic of how to fix fake news, they share some possible solutions 2 of which are used verified news outlets that are you and everyone else knows they are credible. Another solution that they mention is using fact-checking sites that can help flag false articles and fake news articles so it's easier to see. Even though these may not be permanent solutions they will help sniff out the false news sources.





  1. The purpose of the assignment is is to give us an idea on how we can seek true information and sniff out the ones that are fake using different methods

  2. The key question at the heart of the assignment is can we find article that provide us as students the nessacary information to help us watch out for false articles?

crap detention

Inanity From my understanding Inanity is kind of like an accusation with no evidence to back it up. The meaning of Inanity is ignorance it is presented in a cloak of sincerity. I guess it's kind of like stupidity then right in the sense that it is ignorance. The best example I can give is The relationship between Megatron and Starscream from transformers, Starscream is cocky and full of himself yet he's a coward that hides behind lies. What In getting at is that Starscream is ignorant and hides himself behind his own cloak of sincerity so that he hold his status as Megatron's second hand. A more realistic approach with social media would probably be somebody posting a lie and hiding it in between a video of themselves being sorry about it. Is that close enough? I feel like that this whole Inanity paragraph is trying to tell us about the ignorance of the internet and how it's kind of like a facade. Pomposity: You could say that Pomposity is when someone is thinking highly of themselves with no regard to others. Like when someone is too prideful in ones own self that what IM trying to say. I am going to use Starscream as an example again because he thinks way too highly of himself. For example, Starscream is the lieutenant commander of the Decepticon army and he holds that title high above his head too much to the point that makes him think that he can overthrow Megatron. He uses that title to belittle the Decepticons that are below him and even the Autobot that he faces in combat. Starscream is the perfect example to use because it's in his nature to do these sorts of things. In real life like on social media someone commenting something hurtful to another because they have the title of chief advisor to a company or something or even just daily bullying on social media could count. That is what I get from the paragraph. The heart of this paragraph is that pomposity is bullshit that harms people. The purpose of this assignment is to get the students to think of all that bullshit on the web and The question at heart from what I think, it's how can we sniff out bullshit using these terms.

ideas stick





Simple. The definition of simple is to make it clear but not too much. The more proper definition is “In the world of content, less is more. Determine your core message, then communicate it in the most simple process.”  The main point of this is to get to the core. You want to explain the core of the topic so people can understand but not make it too long or it will go right over their head. Well, that is what I think that this means. If you need another way of thinking of it is basically means clear and to the point or making it easy for people to understand but not dumbing it down. An example could be the nazi use of the swastika symbol. The symbol was meant for prosperity and good luck but then turned into the nazi party symbol and those who saw it during the time knew that they were in German territory.



Unexpected. In my words, the definition of unexpected would be to break away from what is normal. In other words, it’s like telling your kids that they are going to school but then you take the turn to Disneyland so they can have fun, it’s like just something happened out of the blue. I guess you could say that being unexpected can be expected like most people want to get the attention of someone so they go to the depths to get that attention but everyone is doing the same so instead you do the opposite of that. An example of this could be when someone on the internet making a video called “Im gonna quit”, people would assume they will quit youtube or something but then in the video that says that they will quit smoking. I feel like that is pretty unexpected right?



Concrete. Make an image in someone’s head that will let them think, that’s what Im going with. I guess you could say that feeding someone a few ideas is the point of painting a picture in their head but it will help people get a better understanding of the concept. An example could be that giving a speech on trump being a good president because of certain things he’s done and it will give them ideas on why he’s good I guess.


Credible. It’s like having statistics and or trusted information that comes from primary sources. It is about having something that is trusted so that it is more believable. That is the whole point of this. The words of me would more be like Do use places like Wikipedia and blog posts that don’t support evidence of the situation. An example would be Someone giving credit to an author on a book that gives insight on suicide awareness and uses actual evidence that is in the book.



Emotional.  Hit people’s cores make them feel something whether it is good or bad emotions. The heart of this is to get to the core of someones being. Reach into the heart of that person that what I feel like this is what it truly means. In other words, make someone cry or make them feel happy. An example would be if Someone posted a post on TikTok about their dad passing and they are grieving in the video this will get others to feel their pain and get them to feel more emotional.


Tells Stories. Stories are the heart of every emotion. By this, I mean that stories can evoke an emotion. The core of this is that stories can stimulate someone’s mind and make them do something or feel something. In other words, You could say that telling stories are part of a conjoined emotion in your head. I feel a perfect example again would be the TikTok post on someone’s deceased dad and the original poster makes that story of how good of a guy they were.



I think that main point of the assignment was to have us learn what it means to make our ideas stick and to hit the core of it.


The main question could probably be can students understand the definition to the success model and can we as the students learn to use these to make post?

images

For the first paragraph, I feel like they are trying to show people that they don’t really know that on the virtual world known as the internet there are free images of high-quality captures. The internet is not filled with just low-end pictures but is in fact full of images that car of the same quality as a professional camera and you can find these on certain websites that provide it to you. As for the second paragraph, I think they are trying to tell us that Copyright laws are important to take into consideration. It should be researched on if you are a Big creator or a small one so that you can see what you can use and what you cant use. Some don’t even care about the law and choose to believe that it doesn’t exist, this is a terrible way to look at it. The first paragraph’s main point is about the public domain and the use of images on the internet that are free to use. While the second paragraph is mostly talking about how you should look into the images because they could carry some weight like a copyright claim. In other words, the first paragraph talks about the way you could look for and use images that are free so you don’t get copyright claims. In other words for the second paragraph, they talk about how using images could hit you with copyright laws you didn’t know existed. An example for both of the paragraphs could be when YouTuber uses an image on the internet but they didn’t use a public domain and say that it’s a picture that they took but it isn’t and the original post creator hit that youtube with copyright claims.

I think the purpose of the assignment is to get us to think of the pros and cons of using images on the internet and that we should use free images that are provided through a website that provides stock images so that we don’t get copyright claims.

The heart of the question is can we as students identify the pros and cons of free image use.




The example I use is do the dishes for the house. This can also be seen as clean the house so your family doesn't need to I guess
