    The solution of this equation was 1.11 hours, so I plugged it back into the equation, for “h”, to see how long each of us travelled. My parents travelled for 1.11 hours, while we only travelled 0.96 hours, since to get the actual hours you had to subtract 0.15 from “h”. Since we left at 11:24 a.m., I added on 58 minutes, or 0.96 hours, the time travelled, and found that we would meet my parents at 12:22 p.m. To figure out how far we travelled, I plugged the hours travelled back into the equation. This being said I multiplied 71 mi/hr times 0.96 hours to get 68 miles travelled from State College, and I also multiplied 67 mi/hr times 1.11 hours to get 74 miles from Slippery Rock. When we met my parents we talked for about 15 minutes.…

Furthermore, Mishkin analyzes how the at the root of this trend is insecurity, that being a “byproduct” of the social media makes people feel accepted but in reality, Mishkin asses, “alienates” those who don’t live ironically from those that do. Altogether, Mishkin drives her point home when she showcases how she too falls prey…
