Hate Speech Experience

             I myself had experienced an incident where I was the target of a hate speech. It wasn't directly towards me, but it was about my race. A person on the internet took pictures of himself wearing abercrombie clothes and making his eyes smaller on purpose with his middle finger. It was to degrade Asians about their physical appearance and also their behavior. I remember feeling offended and disappointed by how others saw Asians.

1. How can people’s reputations be affected by what is posted about them online?
For example, if someone had a positive and friendly image , but a picture of that person smoking or drinking was posted, many people would not only be shocked, but it would also affect the reputation.

Generation Like Summary

 Almost every teenagers are interacting directly with culture, music, movies and even more around the world. In a video titled "Generation Like", Douglas Rushkoff, an american media theorist, writer, columnist, lecturer, graphic novelist, and documentarian talks about the social media and how the affect it gives to teens. Many parents were worried about their children becoming a part of the social media. However, it is not only the media that controls the teenagers, but also the companies and people need to be aware of what the companies do. There was another documentary about a similar topic in 2001, but compared to the students back then, the students now were far more sophisticated. A group of students were talking about the 'likes' they get on Facebook. They said that the more like you have the better you feel. The teenagers think that in has this 'empowerment' towards them. From the things people 'like' on Facebook, a lot of companies get benefits. They get to communicate with consumers more and they take them as money as the value goes up from the number of clicks they get. They also sponsor people that are famous on the internet to make money.
The three thing that I found interesting in this video was the attitude towards 'likes'. I was not a type of person who thought a lot about how many 'likes' I get on Facebook, until a few years ago when others began to be really sensitive about it. Second, that companies track your every move on the internet and supports you with the information you need, for example on Facebook when you like a brand, it gives you advertisements about it. Lastly, how the teenagers' reaction towards online figures were different from the past, for example like web celebrities.

What is a more effective way of taking notes - laptop or notepad?


       In schools, there are students who use laptop computers to take their notes and those who take them by writing. However, there wasn't a research that compared these two methods, until a  new study published in Psychological Science has attempted to answer this question.
       The three things that I found that was interesting in this research was: First, the achievement of the students differed from the type of question they solved. The students that took notes longhand and with laptops showed the same results with factual recall questions, but in conceptual question, the longhand students were far more superior. Second, the students that wrote their notes longhand wrote fewer words and less verbatim transcriptions, but they scored better. Lastly, the researchers informed the students not to type verbatim notes, with the hope that this would negate the negative effect of using the laptops; but this verbal reminder proved to have no effect whatsoever on the students' performance. Also, the researchers gave the laptop students ten minutes to revise, but the results didn't change.(Neurobonkers)
