Examine a social media controversy or phenomenon and summarize the specific role that social media played. Reflect on the relationship between media technology and human relationships.
Does social media simply reveal a social dynamic that already existed among those implicated in the controversy?
Does it magnify already existing dynamics in any way and if so, to what specific extent?
Or does it in fact create a new social dynamic where none existed before?
Please note: you may not discuss any controversies we have covered in class so far, such as those related in the Reply All episodes and the Stephen Marche article.
