Meme

In the 21st century, politics, much like every other aspect of life, has been changed as a result of the technologies that surround us. The advent of social media helped people communicate more quickly to a wider audience, allowing them to connect with others with similar views more efficiently. In his book, The Logic of Connective Action, Lance Bennett describes how this phenomenon helped create a new political system. Bennett (2013) describes how globalization has greatly impacted the world of…

fashion retail. Recently, I founded Wonghaus Media, a digital marketing agency that specializes in developing viral contents for brands and products. My most notable project that I worked on was the Holy Meme Bible, which was a children's activity book that focused on the most viral Internet memes in 2016. As an immigrant founder, I try to recruit marginalized groups of people such as young students, LGBTQ, immigrants, and people of color in my ventures because I can understand the…

Lack of critical thinking does not inhibit the responsibilities of writers, to persuade readers with their perspective. The purpose of literacy is to express the human experience through a larger context. Literacy is often viewed to be limited by its language and how it addresses issues but as our world continues to develop. David Kirkland points out, in “The Skin We Ink”, that “it is important to re-conceptualize literacy as a human practice and expand English education to study its multiple…

According to the Magasin des modes nouvelles, when a French woman wore a dress ‘à la Turque,’ she “remporte des triomphes plus sûrs & plus agréables que ceux d’une Georgienne ou Circassienne dans les Harems de Constantinople. Il n’est pas même de Sultane qui ne fût jalouse de son élégance, de sa grace, & des hommages qu’on lui rend.” Women’s superiority in dress became an argument used in editors’ nationalist discourses; editors of the French fashion press often presented ‘their’ women…

Aquarius: Lately things have been changing and you’re not sure how to deal with it. Your Facebook feed is filled with a new wave of memes you don’t get and the use of big words you don’t know. The solution here is crucial: isolation. It worked for the Ming Dynasty and it can work for you, too. Pisces: So no one told you life was gonna be this way/ Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A./ It's like you're always stuck in second gear/ When it hasn't been your day, your week, your…

Since the Aztecs walked everywhere they had good roads that had many stops on them. Most of the roads were guarded ,so everyone would be safe walking on them. If you lived in the time with the Aztecs and was wealthy you could hire a tla meme. A tla meme is someone who carries your heavy loads for you to wherever you want. They attached their stuff to frames to hold it. Also in the Aztec culture if you were a noble or high in the rankings if you needed a note to be given to someone you…

Just stop and think. A half-billion dollar sect of the toy industry is controlled by the underdeveloped minds of a generation too young to remember the first episodes of Full House. Fidget spinners have dominated the toy market, quickly becoming the hottest trend, bringing pandemonium to schools, homes, and social media accounts across America. They were first invented in 1993, by Catherine Hettinger, who designed them for people with ADHD, autism, and anxiety as a way to manage symptoms…

Social media is a great way of expressing oneself. One of the social media platforms that does this well is Instagram. With Instagram, you can show the world what outfit you are wearing or what you had for lunch that day. You can also promote a product and advertise how it works or its benefits. I picked two Instagram accounts that I personally follow and I discuss how they both use Instagram for their own personal use. My first pick was Zendaya, because in my eyes she is the most beautiful…

state’s decision (Gaydos). Since the election, internet memes and cartoons have portrayed certain issues that have erupted from both political candidates. In the example of the “bathroom debate”, a term to symbolize the “debate over transgender rights when it comes to bathrooms” (Grinberg and Stewart), many satirical internet memes and cartoons were created to express each party’s political stance on the issue. It is interesting to see how internet memes can heavily sway a person’s view on an…
