An example of Thinking Before You Post, is IHOP posting a Sexist joke towards their food. IHOP always makes edgy jokes towards their food, but one post took it one step too far, to their 242,000 followers. The tweet said, ¨Flat, but has a GREAT personality¨. The community took this the wrong way, and starting to call IHOP, and complain about this inappropriate tweet. IHOP ended up apologizing about the tweet, but the damage had already been done. This tweet had gotten people upset, over a single tweet which can get to a lot of people. It is also stated in the website (socialmediaweek.org) “ Tying your product to any part of the body is ill-advised, especially when itś highly offensive¨. Social media can cause many offensive comments to you, or anyone else. You would have to be careful of what you're posting, and commenting on. It can cause many doubts, and multiple opinions about what you are doing. Lack of control was played here by IHOP not able to apologize towards their followers, but having the damage already done, and people not taking the apology seriously. You can’t really say sorry to something that you already gave multiple people a upset perspective about. Lack of control played a part in this, and IHOP followers took this the wrong way.

When I started thinking of this project I wanted to do something different from just a regular color wheel, so I went on google to see different ideas. I saw a color wheel on google and I liked it so I did that for my project. I did that because I thought it was cool how it had the colors in the leaves. Even though this is not my original piece I added my own touch to it. What I did was; I did a tint from the leaves going down to the root and I also added a background of different colors all splashed around in an unorganized way.

I think this piece was ok, it could’ve been better if I made it bigger so that the shade could show some more, but when people look at this I want them to have their own interpretation of it and I also wants it to show people to think outside of box and because of the background I want it to be seen as also a very vibrant piece of Art which reminds me a lot of when i first started drawing and coloring, I used to always use a lot of colors and I think that represents the kind of person that I am.

    The story of Amanda Michelle Todd started like all the other cyber bully stories begin. She was a happy Canadian fifteen year old girl with friends and family until she met this anonymous person on Facebook who flattered and complimented her so much to the point of persuading her to show her topless body to him. It all started when she was in 7th grade and used to video chat with new people over the Internet and met the anonymous person. That person blackmailed her with threats of sharing her topless pictures to her friends. A year later another anonymous sent her the same picture of her and it went viral, causing bullying and teasing to the point she had to change schools. After that she fell into drugs and alcohol and then attempting suicides a few times before she finally succeeded at last. On October 10, 2012 she took her own life. The month before she died, she posted a video on YouTube with the use of flashcards, telling her stories of being abused, bullied and harassed. She described her silent story of how she used self harm, drugs and alcohol into silence the pain she suffered. All Amanda wanted was someone to understand her, listen to her and a trusted friend. Therefore, because of the choices she made, it affected her later in her short life.

    Immediacy, Lack of Control and Permanence had played a major role in the story. Immediacy refers to how fast something gets spread and or post online. If Amanda didn’t share her private photos with the anonymous person than the teasing from the classmates would’ve never started and she would’ve never had to change school constantly. Lack of Control means that when you post something you lose all control of where that post may end up and who that post might end up with. Amanda shouldn’t have shared her photos with the anonymous person because now she doesn’t have any control of that photo once they were sent to someone. Permanence means that something is being permanently posted online. Even though Amanda didn’t share her photos publicly, it was still sent to someone through online which means once you send someone to something they could do anything to it. However, Amanda shouldn't have talked to anyone she met online and trusted them extremely quickly. There is no way you could ever find out that the person you're talking to could actually be them because in reality it could be someone else behind that profile picture. Be careful who you talk to online because no one ever wants to be in a position where Amanda Todd was once in.

My work was created with more of a science art vision. I say this because I turned the color wheel idea into colorful atoms and I made my background all black. I expect people to get the idea through the circles being so close together leaving no room in between. My current world relates to my previous work because with any art piece I’ve ever created I made sure that it was some type of colorful. The whole concept of the colors is like my signature on any piece that i create.

An artist that I am influenced by is Andy Warhol because he is an artist who usually works with lots of colors. For example in his Marilyn Monroe pieces he shows how his colors affects different moods of his work. Anything that he does I try to do because he is a very unique artist who I think see things in his own way.

In this project I created a website for media and design class. You will see things like what I do for fun, school projects and what I have planed for my future. In this project I hoped to learn how to build a better website for future reference. While doing this project I learned just that but I still have things to learn and work on. This project was very eye opening! This project was somewhat of a long process. We had many checkpoints leading up to the final submission. First we had to complete our homepage. We had to make it look eye catching and easy to navigate. After that we had to work on the following pages to complete our website. Homepage, About me, Resume, Project those are the thing we needed to complete it. Adding a contact page was optional. I added a gallery page which included pictures of me and things I mentioned. I did that because I felt like I didn't have enough pictures on my website. This is basically the process we had to take to complete this project.

I think I did really well with the design aspect of it. Now when it came to the navigation on the homepage I did really well on. But, on the rest of my pages I didn’t add any easy way to go to other pages. I think I did very poor on turning the checkpoints in time. To overcome that I made sure that i completed the checkpoint of head of time. Throughout the whole doing the whole project the main thing that I learned was how to build a website and add more eye catching things. One main thing that I learn about myself is that I suck at writing about myself. Two things that I would do differently about this project is turning things on time and asking for help with making my site easier to navigate. One tip that I would give is don’t Procrastinate! This project inspired me to make a website for my crocheting. All pictures are mine but, the poem from Shel Silverstein and the quote from Erykah Badu are not mines. This everything I got from my project. Thanks for viewing!

In this story Chipotle worker named James Kennedy didn’t say anything mean, but he said some things about the Chipotle wages being too low. He posted,"@ChipotleTweets, nothing is free, only cheap #labor. Crew members make only $8.50hr how much is that steak bowl really?” After a supervisor showed him the social media policy, he immediately deleted the post. He was fired after other complaints. Kennedy sued Chipotle  for wrongfully firing him. Luckily the court was on the side of Kennedy. After that situation James Kennedy he didn’t have a job at Chipotle but now has a job at American Airlines. This shows signs of just about all three categories (Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control), mostly shows Immediacy because in the article unknowingly he posted a tweet about the restaurant and was not thinking about the consequences that might actually occur which led to his boss finding out rather quickly. Once informed he immediately deleted the tweet. Once on the internet it is never really gone because it leave residue when deleted, where you can always find it. I tell you that because it shows Permanence and how nothing is completely 100% deleted from the internet. It was Lack of control because once it happen he had no idea it would turn out this well. He basically got paid all the wages he was owed, won the court against Chipotle and got a great paying job at American Airlines. All three thing can either really help someone out in life on the internet or really punish somebody one the internet. All I can say is he needs to be a lot more careful with what he posts on the internet and learn to keep certain thing to themselves. This time it worked out for him but for most of the time it won’t end up like that.

In this article an officer was suspended without pay for using the internet negatively. He was posting vine videos of him stealing cocaine from evidence room as a joke. He is a cop from Buffalo, New York named Richard Hy. He was lucky he kept his job (so far). His account on vine was called “angry cops”. Richard Hy broke a policy when wearing his uniform in some of the videos. In the videos he pretends he is a shot suspect, taking cocaine from evidence locker , and also makes fun of people who are over dose at a drug court etc. When he got in trouble he made a statement on vine saying “I'm blowing up on the news right now I guess Cops can't be funny or have a life outside of being emotionless robots”. Lack of Control played a role in this article because Richard Hy wasn’t able to control who and want was able to access it. Richard Hy was not thinking before posting, he didn’t notice that the police department and other cops were going to see it. In his videos he was being very immature when pretending to be someone. Richard Hy thought many of the videos were funny but other people it was very disturbing and offensive. Permanence played a role in Richard Hy situation because everything he posted is now permanent and shared. Millions of people now so it and shared it and showing others. Even though if he deleted it’s still out there because he can’t delete it off the internet. Immediacy also played a role in his situation because his videos went viral fast. Many people shared , and liked his videos making other people see it and many other officers.

Throughout the quarter, we have been exploring the decisions that we make when it comes to what we post online as well as analyzing the decisions of others.

For this assignment, please find a story about an individual's use of social media (it can be a positive or negative use) and explain the story and the effects that this choice had on the individual's life or the life of others. Also, please explain how Immediacy, Permanence and Lack of Control played into the story and give the individual advice for their online life.

You will then write a blog post containing the information above and a link to at least one article about the story.

Mother of cyber bullying victim pens heartbreaking open letter in response to his suicide

In this story a during April 27, 2016  an innocent seventeen year old boy named

Felix Alexander commits suicide out of grief and sorrow after being maliciously mocked

over social media by people who didn’t even know him. This abuse caused Felix to suffer

extreme depression and things didn’t get any better while he was at school either. While at

school he was constantly harassed and abused by other students, even his own fellow

and was even declared to be the most hated kid in the whole school despite his teachers saying he was smart kind and caring. Felix on the other hand thought of himself as a looser and wimp with no guts or self esteem. He  eventually moved to another school only to end up with people who saw his social media to harass and bully him as well. After this his depression started to grow more and more into a mental breakdown until he eventually snapped and decided to take away his own life leaving not only him to die in sadness and grief but also to leave his mother in sadness and grief especially after attending his funeral. In this story you can tell that Felix’s immediacy made him easily vulnerable to cyberbullying. By sharing information with everyone over the internet people were easily able to find flaws and weaknesses within him and were thus able to keep on using the weaknesses against him until he cracked. This caused him to be exposed and bullied by students, classmates and even people who barely even knew him enough to judge him. As for what Felix was being mocked about about, it was a video game. On Ithttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3823251/It-began-unkindness-advent-social-media-overwhelming-Mother-s-heartbreaking-letter-bullies-drove-son-kill-not-allowed-play-Call-Duty.html it was said that Felix posted on his Social Media that his mom wouldn’t let him play a violent video game called “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2”. This however caused everyone on his social media to maliciously mock him by calling him names such as a loser and a wimp despite him not having any control over what he was allowed to play. Not only that but he eventually had no self control in his own media either. After only a few people found out about the video game he wasn’t allowed to play word quickly got out to dozens, hundreds and eventually even thousands of people and what's worse was that there was nothing he could do to prevent or escape the undeserving consequences he got for this. He was completely trapped in a never ending realm of permanence. No matter where Felix went to forget about and escape his cruel past there were always people who knew about his media and brought up the whole situation again. He had lost complete control over his internet life and Social life because of posting something on the internet that he could never take back or remove especially when over thousands of people found out. The worst part though is that he went through all of this pain and suffering all because of a video game. He was given cruelty just because his parents were being responsible and not letting him play anything violent. This story is one of the main examples about the danger of Social media. When you post something on Social Media it will always stay their and spread. Also, when posting something even as small and harmless as a videogame there will always be people who will try to find a way to use something as small and harmless as that to make you think less of yourself and they'll always keep on trying push you more and more until you end up making the same mistake Felix made and sometimes it’s only when that person results to such a hasty action when  people mocking them finally realize the horrible mistake they have made only for it to be too late.

Jessica Logan

The article i am doing is about a girl named Jessica Logan, a 18 year old girl who went to Sycamore High School. Jessica sent nudes to her boyfriend, when they broke up he sent her nudes to everyone. The high school girls began to harass Jessica and calling her names. Jessica should've thought about the consequences of her sexting to her boyfriend. Immediacy, Permanence, and Lack of Control played in this story by the Permanence of the photo that Jessica sent to her ex-boyfriend.Lack of Control that Jessica had of the photo and the people who saw the photo. The Immediacy is when she sent the photo to her boyfriend and realizing that she could not control where it was gonna go.

Qualee Bentley

DiGiorno Pizza went to Twitter to promote their pizza using the hashtag #WhyIStayed. What they didn’t know was that the hashtag was used for thousands of women opening up about their abusive relationships. DiGiorno quickly realized that they made a mistake and took it down but it was too late, this shows lack of control and permanence. They began to explain how they didn’t check and see what the hashtag represented and started to apologize to everyone that saw it. This shows how immediacy played into their situation.

Due: November 4,2016

This whole quarter we learn about how to only use the Internet positively because if you post something that you will regret it may affect your life drastically. So think before you post anything. Here is a prime example. This girl named Audrie who is 15 years old suffered cyberbullying with the teenagers she knew. It all happened the month of September in 2012. Audrie was drinking underage and was drinking so much she fell unconscious. Her friends she was with ended up raping her and taking pictures of her. The the teenagers all went to the same school which was Saratoga High School. After taking all the pictures of the girl getting raped and unconscious they ended up posting it on the Internet. Eight days after the situation Audrie went through hell because she had mental and physical fear. She ended up killing herself to escape the damage and harm being continued on her mentally and physically. Audrie never told her parents. And now the teenagers are charged for Audrie’s death but it won’t bring her back but justice needs to be serve. In this situation the permanency is that she is dead and someone can probably look up the pictures the teenagers took of Audrie. The lack of control is that first Audrie was drinking so much that she fell unconscious and she was underage drinking and when the teenagers rapid her and took pictures they knew it was wrong but they thought it was a joke until she ended up killing herself. The immediacy is that once she was raped the three boys instantly posted the pictures online where everyone can see it. But when they went to court the judge used the pictures as evidence against them. The three boys never have been in serious serious trouble where they are dealing with the law but they ended up in the juvenile hall. After Audrie hung herself she was admitted to the hospital on life support but didn't end up surviving. Now the three boys that did all this has to deal with this the rest of their lives and have to sleep everyday with this extreme situation on their mind. And Audrie family has to deal with this everyday that a family member has died and they could not help her with this situation.

When Amanda Todd was in the 7th grade she met a man in an online chat room who talked her into flashing him her breasts. A year later, the man contacted her on Facebook and asked her to put on a show for him. He threatened to release pictures of her to everyone she knew if she did not do what he said. He knew her address, her name, where she went to school, and who her friends and family members were. Amanda’s pictures were released and went viral. The kids at her school saw the pictures and started to bully and tease her. Amanda became depressed, developed anxiety and began to use drugs and alcohol. Amanda changed schools several times, but it was no use her reputation was ruined.  She reveals her feelings in her video on YouTube, describing how she cried every night and lost all her friends. When Amanda returned home, she tried to commit suicide by drinking bleach, but was saved at the last minute. Finally Amanda moved to a new city, but the bullying continued and she continued to cut herself and attempted suicide. In September 2012 Amanda wrote her story on flashcards and recorded it on YouTube. Amanda’s body was found at her home in British Columbia, Canada on the 10th of October, 2012.

Lack of control: Once Amanda sent the picture she couldn’t control what he did with it because it was now in his possession.

Permanence: Once the man released Amanda’s pictures anyone on social media could have seen them

Immediacy:The amount of hateful messages and threats she got caused her to become depressed and commit suicide

So this guy with bad grammar decided to post on an actual website about how bruno mars is gay. It doesn't really make much sense because how the article is worded and, the guy who made this doesn't  justify his answer but, its basically supposed to be about a rumor going around “about his gay”. One website says that he came out on a radio station on april 1st, april fools day, and that people thought it was real because of the way he talked. Other websites just claim it as a hoax.

Bruno mars has no control over “Bruno mars is gay” , there is no known evidence to show bruno mars reaction to the website or even if he did it at all. This is where lack of control plays, Bruno mars did not create this website of obscene content and most of this stuff isn’t even true. People can believe if bruno mars is gay but  they won't know the truth because they have control over the website and bruno mars does not. Anybody can go on the website and change whatever they please with the guy who made the website’s permission, thus showing that bruno mars has no control on the propaganda used against him. Since then it spread from website to website to twitter to instagram to CNN and so on. Just google #Does Bruno Mars Is Gay.

Bruno mars is gay started after the april fools radio coming out, From April 1st 2012 to November 2nd 2016 and still going this has been a buzzing rumor about if bruno mars really is gay or not. Permanence shows in this because the rumor did not die out in fact it became bigger forging itself into hashtag to meme. Every comedian talks about this undying trend and it's hard to pin point if its real or not because of the poorly worded original website the rumor came from. CNN says that they had him on a radio show in april 1st. This affected bruno mars’ career because if he’s gay or not he has pride in what he identifies as, “I will not go to great lengths to spread this news. The timing is bad, I hadn’t realized it was April Fool’s Day but it’s been pointed out to me and I don’t want to go too public with this. I don’t want it to be disregarded as a joke. My sexuality is no joke to me and it’s come out a little faster than I’d hoped.”

Bruno mars has no control over this website all about bruno mars, the person who made the website can take it down at any time but can never erase the whole thing. #Does Bruno Mars Is Gay  is controversial , you can't erase it because it's a meme and it won't die out, I lasted about 2 years now. This shows Immediacy.

YouTube Video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThKVodI1Mf8

    A mattress store in San Antonio made a video about their twin tower mattress sale. They were referencing what happened on 9/11. You should never use a horrible moment to make money off of it. You can find it on their FaceBook Feed. She got a lot of hate for that video. Then she was on the news to explain why she made the video. She said it was stupid and a dumb thing to do. Later she apologize and said that she lost some close people too. After her apology, she still get a lot of hate from what she has done.

    How immediacy played a huge row is because the video spread quick and lots of people seen it. It spread so quickly that it went to the news and spread even more. Also a lot of people was quick to judge them and giving them hate.

    How permanence played a row is the video is now stuck in people's heads. Also that video can still to there store reputation. For example that video can make people judge the store before they even go there.

    How Lack Of Control played a row is when she post the video and knew she was getting a lot of hate. She took it down, but people reposted it and she couldn’t take it down. The video was reposted on YouTube. Then on other social media.

My advice is to think before you post something. Think if it's a bad time to post anything. Also to not use something that impacted the U.S in a bad way to make a profit. Those are some advice I have for her.   

AMIN ROBINSON-Artist Statement

I created my work because I felt like a triangle was the most easiest way to convey colors in a broad spectrum. I felt my overall vision didn’t come out the way I felt but I did mixed the colors twice. I would expect harsh criticism and good advice of design choices from my audiences and viewers. My current ART work relates to my old one very differently because I was very creative back then and actually into art. My work fits within the current contemporary art very well because people seems to be basing the world on shapes and colors now and days using more shapes to create pieces.  

My work fits in with the history of art practice because obviously people have an imagination. My work fits within a series of abstract projects I have done before because it was all in abstract way of conveying colors and shapes. My inspirations was for my idea of conveying a space prism of UV color spectrum. I am not really influenced by any artist but I do think that all artists have gifts that they must keep.

For the first quarter art project, my vision was to be creative. I really wanted to do something that others wouldn’t do. I also wanted to create something based off of the upcoming holiday, Halloween. I decided to make my color wheel a spider web because who doesn’t think spider webs are cool? I didn’t know how to represent my color wheel at first so I went on pinterest and found some ideas. Spider webs are also circular so I thought that would be cute as a color wheel.

I really like art and I like to think outside of the box. I want for my audience to see my work as bubbly and unique. This is what I want out of the color wheel project. Although I have never physically created a color wheel before, this project relates to my other works of art because of the creativity and colorfulness. Besides the eye appealing color, my work of art includes primary and tertiary colors along with paint mixing.

Art is something you need to be patient with. Sometimes it includes tedious movements and much attention for small detail. I feel like this makes the artwork better because more time is being spent on it. This is the type of things I do to make sure my piece of work is the best that I can make it. My color wheel is a really special piece for me now because I never knew I would be able to create something as eye appealing (to me) as it is.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/woman-behind-boston-marathon-bombing-costume-blasts-critics-article-1.1508156

Alicia Ann Lynch, 22,  dressed for Halloween as a Boston Marathon bombing victim and sparked rage throughout twitter. She says her family has been subjected to death threats and was fired from her job. Alicia’s personal information were leaked like her driver’s license and even her family’s address in Fairgrove, Mich. After death threats toward her parents and best friend Lynch stated “ She didn’t know what I was doing. My family didn’t know what I was doing. I don’t live with them. And they’re all getting dragged into this for something I did.”. Alicia apologized for her offensive costume“What I did may have been wrong, but is it truly right to wish harm upon someone and say that you’re doing it for the victims?” she said. “As being a part of a tragic event I never would ever wish what had happened to me upon someone else, as I can say most people wouldn’t wish death upon someone to ‘make it right.”

Immediacy : As soon as she posted her costume it immediately got negative feedback.

Permanence: After she posted it whether she deleted it or not it was still on the internet from people posting it on their social media.

Lack of control: After she posted it she lost all control of the picture. She couldn’t control the death threats toward her friends and family. She couldn’t control where the picture ended up or the comments.
