In this brief podcast on the reality of social media, we will have four students speaking
on different perspectives. Brendan, Lilia, Andrew, and Sarah, have each been
researching what social media is REALLY doing to us and our society these past couple
weeks. With help from class materials from the great minds of Stuart Hall, and Michel
Foucault, we will analyze five scholarly articles to highlight the detrimental situation
occurring in our minds and relationships due to social media. This project maintains a
