Homework Response

We take and send selfies to our friends to share what we are feeling at the moment. But pictures are do not explain themselves. Different people view them differently. And are they really honest? Instead of telling our friends how we feel, we send them a picture of ourselves posing as happy, goofy, thoughtful, etc. Words are needed to really explain things, like how we feel and what we think.

Trump keeps tweeting and issuing pics and videos, many of which contain outright lies. People who object respond with the same burst of spectacle. The subject is changed and people move on to other spectacles. The way news and politics is handled in the media, especially social media, often doesn’t allow time for a real in depth discussion. So how do you get people to look beyond spectacle and have a real dialogue.
