PLOs ACHIEVED

PLO #1:​

Design communication and media projects to make meaningful contributions to diverse social, professional or academic communities, communicating effectively orally, in writing, and through digital media

​

PLO #2:

Reflect critically on communication products such as media productions, research and policy reports and everyday texts. 

​

PLO #7:

Critically evaluate the use of technology in communication.

​

In these two projects, I did a critical analysis on the connection between social media and mental health. I even dared to challenge the idea that social media could be an "online therapist" for some people who use the technology as a way to find empowerment. In both written and digital form, I bring up Dana M. Boyd's affordances, as well as, the effects of social media on mental health.
