Current Event 3

Elon Musk bought Twitter. Here's what he says he'll do next

Elon Musk officially purchased Twitter. There is obviously a great divide about whether or not it is a good thing. I have personally been a big Elon Musk fan for years and am fascinated by the idea of him taking the helm of Twitter. I believe that arguably, Twitter is the best place to build a global community platform where everyone has a place to be heard. I enjoy the community Twitter gives and am anxious to see where it goes next.

We'd like to apply the insights and analysis from our discussions to current events that occur during this semester, especially as they relate to global and/or intercultural issues.

Several times during the semester you will be required to cite a news or analysis story from some published source that relates to the broad topics we're discussing in the course and provide your insights and analysis.

The following are important guidelines relative to current events:

  • You must link to the article in your blog posting.
  • You must write a "smallish blog post" paragraph relating to this current event.
  • Each of the current event posts you write must come from a different source.
  • Current events will be graded the same way as smallish blog postings.
  • Even though you link to the article that inspired your post, the guidelines for blogging about daily readings still apply — don't simply respond to the article, but share your own original thought, inspired by the cited article.
