Reflection 11/13/12

After all that we studied in this class this year it was really fitting to end the readings with a selection on social media and its influence on social movements. As the tail end of the millennial generation we have been privileged enough to see the evolving impact of technology and social media in our own domestic politics and politics around the globe. The future of liberal, humane social movements, ones that truly wish to correct wrongs in their own countries and provide a better future for their children. It may sound like idealistic ranting, or it may be the side effect of a semester's worth of chronic under-sleeping or maybe its the Led Zeppelin playing on Pandora, but this idea really gives me hope for the future and its a nice and appropriate note to end the readings on.
