"social media sites contribute to political polarization by creating “echo chambers” that insulate people from opposing views about current events. We surveyed a large sample of Democrats and Republicans who visit Twitter at least three times each week about a range of social policy issues."

this quote gave me specific information about how the BLM movement was much different than civil rights movement
this source was found online, with a goal to figure out the main purpose of the BLM movement. I believe that the article was credible, considering it is from the American Civil Liberties Union

" widely held belief that these platforms distract Americans from more pressing issues. Roughly three-quarters of U.S. adults (77%) say the statement “social media distract people from issues that are truly important” describes these platforms well, with 35% saying it describes them very well. And 71% believe that social media make people think they are making a difference when they really aren’t, with 28% saying this describes social media very well."
Relevance to Argument: This gives discrete data about peoples' opinions on social media's impact as a catalyst for progressive movements. Most people dont think that social media does much change for underrepresented groups. Even though ma there is data that shows how much more awareness of certain issues like MeToo

- I think that the source is good for looking at a timeline of different substantial points throughout history, and major racism moments. The source seems to be creditable and has correct and relevant information in it.
2.“The Color Purple,” by Alice Walker (1982)
"Of the black feminist classics of the period, Walker’s garnered the most prestige — a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize — and controversy. Set in 1930s rural Georgia, the story shows a black woman finding happiness beyond abusive black patriarchs, Southern poverty and racist whites. Steven Spielberg’s 1985 blockbuster adaptation cemented its legacy."

- This source is more persuasive than the other article, but at the same time, it is informational. It has a lot of different facts sprinkled in with the opinions, to kind of show why he is saying that opinion. I also thought that the test that he talked about was very cool and that my group should take it to get a better sense of our topic.
- "Anthony Greenwald, Mahzarin Banaji and Brian Nosek developed an instrument called the Implicit Association Test (IAT) that, they claimed, can read the innermost thoughts that you are afraid to tell even yourself. And those thoughts appear to be dark and prejudiced"

- I think that the source makes a good point talking about the police shootings and how they affected racism online, whether it was positively or negatively.
- "The online petition now has 1.5 million signatures (the largest ever in Change.org’s history), although all this social media attention hasn’t resulted in an arrest in the case yet. So, this is all very good news about the power of social media. Perhaps it really is making us better, more socially engaged and politically active, as sociologist Keith Hampton argues."

[Is the Internet fueling social change or giving license to engage in lazy activism?(https://news.usc.edu/90291/is-the-internet-fueling-social-change-or-giving-license-to-engage-in-lazy-activism/)
- This is a good opinionated source because it shows both sides of the argument: Is social media helpful when it comes to actions in social movements. Not only does this article have both sides but it also breaks down the helpful uses of the internet for ex: how information can be spread and etc
-
Purpose:To show how social media has caused many people to believe they are doing something to help a cause but in reality they end up not doing anything to help their cause.

This article shows how members of the government are changing the ways on what is and isn't tolerable use of social media for messaging as in this article social media has a negative impact on President Trump and can show how messages need to be conveyed to the public

This source is good as it talks about how a social media had a positive impact with a movement called the #MeToo movement involving the sexual harassment of women and saying that this is a major epidemic but people refuse to talk about it. The hope of the movement is the have policy makers change the law to help with women not having negative consequences when speaking out when they are being sexually harassed/abused

The source is a good example of how racial trends/attitudes towards minority races have changed over time. Unfortunately it does only get data from Caucasian and African-Americans it still shows how they both have changed over time and that now they are both at about the same level for both races.

This data is important because it shows all the different types of social media platforms being used by all age groups and each age group. This is important to show how any messages from movements trying to start to show who they have an impact on.

- I think that this source is interesting, it talks more about Miss America and beauty pagents, than everyday racism but it is still a good article to show racism in the US from a global point of view.
- "It is precisely this indeterminacy of audience and context within social media that can help to explain, in part, the objectionable tweets about Davuluri. The context collapse of Twitter and the blending of public and private communication meant that tweeters were addressing "flattened" audiences/contexts and thus could not be sure who they were addressing, even if their tweets were directed at specific, ideal or intimate audiences of followers. The offensive tweets were seen by all users and circulated in the public sphere, creating social sanction and backlash against the offending users that may not have been anticipated. At the same time, the context collapse and publicized privacy of Twitter meant that observers trying to interpret the tweets (including we as scholars) could not be sure of the "correct" reading or "intention," whether sincere or sarcastic, because the tweets were acontextual forms of communication."

- I think that the information in this source is very interesting especially the fact that it is specifically talking about racism on social media on college campus'. I also i think it is interesting that they call it a virtual battleground for democratic citizenship, because I have never thought of it being a battleground before.
- "In the 21st century, mobile, low-friction, and easy to use social media have changed the landscape of college campuses. Social media have opened the doors for racial hostility to be displayed on campus in new ways and have been widely used to express racial aggressions toward students of color."
"The extensive documentation of racism on social media indicates that racial bias is not localized but prominent across multiple campuses and online platforms."

This source talks about how there are people out there who hack their way to finding information that was illegal to get and release it to hurt the reputation of certain public figures of those in government or political movements for example. The most notable being Wikileaks releasing government information from whistle blowers and this information tends to blow up on social media.
