Research Paper Over the years a lot of people use internet for many reasons. One website used a lot is YouTube. YouTube can have positive impacts, as well as negative impacts. YouTube contains a lot of narcissism, adult footage, and racism. One of the reasons YouTube has a negative impact on society is narcissism. Narcissism is when people are excessively interested in themselves, to the point that they think they’re able to get famous. “The internet’s democratization of access to publicity makes
. ... the concern of social limitations aren’t entirely present. Twitter provokes ignoring social standards and previous obsession with image in order to allow for greater ideological development, without going becoming too extraneous. Because 4chan and other anonymous sources can be deemed as sites that follow a more severe and extremist pattern that results in more primitive thought because of the lack of restraints. We can safely assume that since Facebook elaborated on the creation of social
Trans people are those who are born male, but later on in life identify as female, or vice versa. Non-binaries are those who do not fit into 'male' or 'female', but may identify as both, a mix of the two, or neither. Forty-nine percent of trans people attempt suicide at some point in their lives, and one in twelve trans or non-binary people are murdered just for being trans.1 More than a quarter of trans people have also said they required anti-violence services, but the majority of violence is never
as annoying or a douche at least on the website 4chan, Anonymous’ home website. It is meant as a playful suffix (knowyourmeme.com). Anonymous is the group that started the changing of the definition of fag. That is one of many examples as to how they are a counter-culture. In the mainstream-media the word fag is very derogatory in its nature. Kobe Bryant was fined for calling a referee a “f@*&ing faggot”. That is why on the internet website 4chan, and with the group Anonymous, the context that person
people actually end up loving a particular character's personality enough for them to remain in their memories. Sometimes it could not even be about the fact that they love a particular character's personality, individuals I have conversed with (on 4Chan) really feel an association with the characters they are infatuated with, and think they were made only for them and
Recent discourse surrounding 911 calls have surfaced, suggesting that communities work to solve a conflict/an issue together rather than calling 911 (especially when the victim or perpetrator is Black) in order to save them from the genuine possibility of being killed. Lopez also found that thirty-one percent of people killed by the police are Black even though only thirteen percent of the United State population is Black (Lopez). Tyranny in literature reflects the tyranny found with police brutality
Are memes really a hate symbol now? Most common folk now sees them as a racist joke. Although even some may be mean spirited, this cannot be said about all of them. Some of the memes can actually be rather funny and not mean spirited in any way. Some of these memes are directed for a specific group of people like, for example; the PC master race people, or the basketball juju on that beat that are all over the internet. Although they get seen as mean, the memes are are not the real problem that is
News satire has been around for much of modern history, raising awareness about controversial issues through parody and providing humorous relief from the stern nature of journalism and news. Satire can be easily distinguished from real news just from their humorous edge; however, fake news does not possess this quality. Although fake news is known as a neologism, the concept behind it is far from being new. In a broad sense, fake news is the circulation of disinformation, not to be confused with
Four hundred years from now, when children listlessly shuffle into a murky classroom and haul their textbooks - or whatever the 25th century equivalent of a textbook is - from their backpacks to begin the study of our civilization, they’re going to learn about how we expressed ourselves and our feelings about the world in which we lived through these weird little things called “memes”.

Anonymous Anonymous is not an organization. Anonymous is an idea, and when people come together and believe in an idea they become a group, or a movement. Everybody can be “anonymous”, whose members are often called “Anons”, and there is no leadership. Anonymous fights for freedom of speech and are often against the government. As an Anon said "We stand for freedom and for freedom of speech, for the power of the people and for their ability to demonstrate against the government, we stand for non
