week 7

Level 1
The article is about shooting in Fergeson. It also references other shootings of young black people. It mainly focuses on how Twitter played a role in this incident. The article mentions how Twitter as a social media is a way for the misrepresented can show what is happening to them. It also shows how Trevan Martin two years before this was still on peoples minds as well as older events. The article shows how people posted their tweets with the hashtag symbol. How Twitter can show tweets that were tweeted in the past can be recovered. Such as #handsupdontshoot can be searched and every tweet that has that hashtag can be found. It also warns how you need to be in the mindset of the person who tweeted some of them to get the full message behind it.

level 2
In my opinion, the verdict found by the court was wrong. The way that the media has shown people of color has almost never been in a good light is putting it mildly. Twitter is a social media that shows what is happening in real time during this entire event. The fact is with so much information out there it is hard to find every piece of information that is relevant. It is obvious that Twitter and other social media outlets that can allow people to post their thoughts in as few words as possible will always burn strong. Once a certain amount recognizes it then it just keeps going down the hill. The article shows that the way that we see certain objects and people vary on person to person.
