 HELLO EVERYBODY!!!! I'm back with another installment of what I've learned in my social media class!! I did not think that I would want to post again so soon, but I figured I would give you guys two updates this week. I'm not sure how often this is going to happen or if it's going to happen again, but I thought it would be nice. Anyways, in this post I will talk about what hermeneutics is and explain four different theories about it. I will also include a section on the spreadability of content on the internet. Ok time for me to stop stalling and start explaining because that is what you're really here for. Isn't it?  Along with last week's post about the four theories on relationships, we also talked about hermeneutics and the four theories that accompany it. Hermeneutics is the way we think about and practice interpretation. But the theorist that connects this blog post about hermeneutics and my last blog post about relationship theories is Gadamer.

Are you staying hydrated? Are you eating three meals a day? Have you been getting eight hours of sleep each night? How has your social life been?

Now as Li Shang from the movie  Mulan  would say "Let's get down to business". We have just started unit 2 of class and have talked about new theories. So, let's just get into it (yuh)!! One of the first things we went over in this unit was different theories about relationships and how we think they are created. The first theorist we talked about was Gadamer and how other theories compare to his. His first theory we talked about basically said that the relationships we make are natural...

  Hi everyone!! I am back again!! It has been a busy few weeks since the last time I posted. Many readings, many assignments, lots of hours at work, but I am here with you guys again. These past few weeks in my Social Media and Society class, we have covered a lot of different topics. In this post, I will be explaining and giving some examples of some of the topics we have covered so far in the semester. Alright, let me stop wasting your time with this intro and get into it. Here are some of the things we have been covering in class. Remembrance One of the first things that I really remember agreeing with Lee Humphreys on is his thoughts on remembrancing. When I think of why people want to post pictures or videos of something significant that happened, I think that they want to share and/or show off to others what they are doing. But I also think it's to be able to go back and remember what that time was like. I think the same things when people want to make an update on Facebook o...
