Discussion Assignment -
The goals for group discussions are for students to be cooperative, collaborative, supportive, and positive members of the group. You are expected to critically analyze the information posed within the context of the weekly material. It is imperative that students work together each week and post in a timely manner in order to have strong discussions.
Discussion Requirements: During each assigned week, you must submit at least 3 total posts (1 initial post and 2 peer responses to other students) during the Sunday - Saturday at 6:00pm timeframe.
In each instructor thread, there will be a discussion starter that may include a mini-assignment for you to complete. The discussion starter information is linked to the week's required materials. You are required to discuss the week's readings/videos in relation to the discussion questions and any other information presented in the instructor thread.
Be sure to use various course materials in each of your posts (for instance, at least three course concepts should be discussed in your initial post for a distinguished score). However, do not use straight quotes from the text! Paraphrase and reference the text/article that you use to show that you understand and apply the materials.
A. Look up two recent examples of internet activism that were successful in getting a large audience attention, media attention, and physical response.

In what ways are the two movements different?
