Reflection from Friday's class

I thought class Friday was very interesting as I heard from multiple classmates their opinions and views on Slacktivism. Most of my groups definitions and findings on various websites were similar to mine. As a group we came to a conclusion that Slacktivism is showing awareness or support for a certain cause or belief through different types of social media. I believe Slacktivism today is more effective then protesting because more people use social media on a regular basis. You can use social media almost anywhere at anytime, and it is instantaneous which allows for news and events to give details immediately and spread like wildfire.
