    This beneficial msg qualifies as propaganda because it is trying to persuade readers on effects that twitter has on them. The propagandist is selling the message by stating that "obnoxious trending topics start with you". This is an a example of plainfolk because viewers are persuaded to not tweet "obnoxious" things because it starts with themselves.

    This qualifies as propaganda because it shows a hand pointing to a person that has trending words and quotes in it. It is harmful because it shows what people can get away with these days. It sold it to me because i saw "Someone Tweeted" and it made me wonder. This has a emotional appeal of blame because it shows a hand pointing at a person.

    This qualifies as propaganda because it is showing how crazy some tweets are and how it doesn't benefit anyone. It is harmful because making tweets could sometimes make other people feel bad.But beneficial because tweeting gives you the freedom to say what you want. They are selling the message by showing what is happening after you tweet, they always stay with you. The emotional appeal is appeal to social fears and how the internet has an affect on you.

    This is an appeal to self-esteem because it makes us think twice of what we post on the internet. This one propaganda is one of the only not dumb or benefiting posts because if we do think twice about what we say then it could help others and help us prevent bad stuff from happening because the impact of social media is really powerful now and it could affect some people really badly.

    I agree with Catherine D. on how the message qualifies as propaganda however I believe the appeal is better described as an appeal to social fears because the viewers 'fear' being obnoxious.

    I agree with SFukasawa on that it will make us think twice about what we post on the internet but I disagree that it'll help us because there are people who just don't care about what they post or what happens because of it.

    This message qualifies as propaganda because it is showing how bad situations and harmful things start on social media. This message is beneficial to to society because it can help us at noticing that we have the power and ability to put something out to the world, whether it be bad or good. Propaganda is selling this message by involving you into the picture and a famous app we all use for social media. The emotional appeal to this message would be appeal to social fears because if everyone seems to be doing all this tweeting and other things on media, then you should be doing it too.

    I agree with Gabe. This message is "sellimg the message" by telling you that "you" are the cause of the annoying Twitter trends and hash tags. This message is making you feel bad about using Twitter and you should probably go outside more and not worry about Twitter trends.

    I agree with Gabe P., because we as community can prevent all the annoying tweets by not tweeting them. The ad really shows how annoying it can be by showing the giant hand with hash tags as Gabe said.

    This is propaganda because it shows that people listen to what others put on social media. This is beneficial because it shows that we make the trends. This is being sold because it uses twitter which is a very popular site to us teens. The emotional appeal is Plainfolks because by seeing other teens doing it, the person will most likely do it also so then it continues the trend.

    This ad is propaganda because its trying to reach the audience of Twitter users and trying to create an emotional response out of them. This is beneficial, it tries to inform through the ad that when using social media such as Twitters users have a lot of power to start trends and such. The creator of the ad tries to sell this message through showing how one Tweeter can being an obnoxious trend easily such as the trends shown on the hand. This tries to appeal emotional to a sense of plainfolks it tries to relate to users of Twitter.

    I thinks its propaganda because it shows how bad things start from social media. Its beneficial by showing people how bad things can start by putting things on the internet. ITs selling the message by putting us as social media and involving us in a app. Its appeal is social fear because everyone is on social doing things

    I agree with Alondra R. because she said it could help us at noticing that we have the power and ability to put something out in the world, whether its good or bad. This uses both you and a very popular app which makes it intriguing for the audience.

    Liberty M said that "the ad shows how much power that social media has on people". I feel like people put much of their emotions into what other people say on social media. I disagree that this appeals to plainfolks because i think appeal more to a fear of social rejection.

    I feel incline to agree more than disagree with this add. I do believe that a lot of the most disgusting and offensive topics on social media that become trends (pretty much everything that is trending is because people keeps talking about it) are obviously trends that someone started. So yes obnoxious trending topics can start with us, we need to be more media literate or responsible before posting or starting to talk about something online.

    I rated this as more beneficial because it does a good job of showing how quick something that is hash tagged on Twitter can spread and go viral-good or bad.

    I think it's beneficial because it gives the viewer an idea about their tweets. Also with the big hand pointing, it also gives me an impression of how big our tweets and comments can be and how many people the may affect. Social media is more far-reaching than ever before as platforms are improving their analytics and media control, giving many of us stories and "blurbs" of what they think we like. We need to be more responsible with our media creation whether it's an original tweet, a comment, or a conversation else we lose control of who we are.

    This is showing that trends start with a person, not A.I. not a robot, not a machine, it starts with a machine but, you start it with an idea. Anyone can copy, but you have to be smart to start the copying. I believe this is an efficient way of showing that you have control of annoying a person and starting a social media war, or just letting it go.
