Reflection On Seminar
This week's Seminar covered the app "Peeple" and whether or not today as a society, are we really that far from it. We also discussed the definition of "trolling" and how social media is changing the scope of the way that we argue. Although less controversial topics, it was good to take a break and step back after so much discussion concerning more controversial topics such as the Election and abortion, where it definitely became more lively. During Round 1 of the seminar, I especially enjoyed Jordan's philosophical take on how today's society has turned into a desire for belonging and not being authentic to oneself, but conforming to their identity on social media. During Round 2, I enjoyed how we made many connections to our own selves referring to our "private" Instagram accounts on how social media affects our interactions with other people. Overall, I enjoyed this seminar and actively got my input in even without being in the center by being able to pass notes and track within my notebook.
