Culture Mission 3


I feel that I have learnt a lot while completing this mission, it allowed me to learn more about the hashtag and how it can be used to draw attention, to organize or to promote a certain movement. I learned that a lot of popular and successful movements grew popular and gained attention thanks to the use of the hashtag and activism. This mission has also helped me in becoming aware that there are certain tools that can be used to archive hashtags on social media and I learned how to use them.

             I am happy with how our presentation came out and I feel that we have reached our goals for this mission.

I reflected on the creativity mission and I feel that I have learned a lot from it, this mission has pushed me to learn a few new skills such as how to work in a group, how to successfully search for information on the internet, helped me to further develop my Power point skills and helped me get out of my comfort zone, and most importantly I learned how to create my own Gif, something I would have never learn otherwise.                  I feel satisfied with the outcome of this mission as this was our first presentation and I feel that it was a good starting point for the next upcoming projects. I hope to learn more as time goes on with the upcoming projects.

We started off our powerpoint with some information on how the Gif was created and a few other facts we could find, we found it interesting that most people actually mispronounce the word 'Gif' as its actually supposed to be pronounced as 'Jif'.                                         We took the time to watch a few shorts videos on youtube which taught us how to create a Gif on one of the popular sites such as 'makeagif' or the most popular one which is 'giphy'. We soon learned that there were many sites in which you could make your own gif and learned that we could make a gif from any video we find on the internet. I decided that I wanted to make a Gif f

We found the time during the week to all meet up and discuss how to further work on our project, we have already studied the history of the hashtag and read other peoples articles on activism, we knew by this time how we wanted to proceed, we just had to decide which hashtag each person wanted to explore. It took us some time to search for what each one of us was interested in doing but after a while we all found something we found interest in.              Sean decided that he wanted to study the Me Too hashtag which is one of the most successful and popular hashtags on social media, it is a social media movement against sexual violence and sexual assault that advocates for females that have survived sexual violence in the past and encourage them to speak out, many celebrities have spoken out about their experience.             After a lot of searching, I decided I wanted to settle on The Black Lives Matter movement, it is a movement in the United States, originally started in
