Week 14
When I do go on Facebook, I am able to scroll through the News Feed timeline, and see what others have posted about the latest trends and current event. I’ll scroll until something catches my eye, then I’ll click the link to read more about it. I usually ignore most of the posts if it’s something I have no interest in hearing about. That’s the problem. How easy it is to ignore important current events, and to watch a cute cat video instead. That’s part of the reason why Facebook can be so addicting. We are able to see what we want to see, and ignore the rest.
Week 13
During the school semester, I am rarely on social media. When I do go on, let’s say Facebook, I usually ignore most of the posts. I scroll for a bit then go back to whatever I was doing. I usually ignore most of the posts about Trump. It’s usually a video of him protesting/yelling obnoxiously. I was aware who Trump was way before people started making funny memes of him. I have lived all my life 15 minutes outside of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Since I am a resident of the area, I have heard a lot of crap about Trump and his casino.
Although I usually ignore Facebook posts about Trump, I still hear some about the latest unbelievable thing he has done. This past week, Trump mocked a reporter with a disability. Trump made fun of the reporter’s condition by jerking his arms in front of his body. This 3 second action was turned into a meme/gif. Now, it is not a meme in a traditional sense, but it is still an edited photo/video making fun of Trump. People have called his actions “low” and “despicable.” I believe the meme I have chosen has correctly shown the way some people feel about Trump, with his recent action.
The meme is in the link below.
