Who is your audience? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> High school and college students who use Instagram every day <\/li>\n<li> They care about justice\u2014but don\u2019t always fact-check what they post or share <\/li>\n<li> I\u2019m speaking to people who are emotionally driven but not critically engaged <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p> 2. What\u2019s your goal \/ purpose \/ argument? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> To raise awareness about how social media can twist justice stories <\/li>\n<li> But not just to warn people\u2014I\u2019m giving them tools to act smarter:\n<ul>\n<li> \u201cPause before you share\u201d <\/li>\n<li> \u201cSearch the full story\u201d <\/li>\n<li> \u201cCheck who posted it and what\u2019s missing\u201d <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li> It\u2019s not an academic critique\u2014it\u2019s a call to action made for real users <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p> 3. Why did I choose Instagram? Why does that matter? <\/p>\n<p>This is where I want to wow the professor. Use all these points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Instagram is the platform where justice narratives go viral\u2014but also get distorted <\/li>\n<li> I chose Instagram because that\u2019s where the problem happens, so I brought the solution directly into that space <\/li>\n<li> My Remix didn\u2019t just exist on paper\u2014 my posts actually went viral. That proves the messaging <em>worked<\/em> <\/li>\n<li> Instead of fighting misinformation from the outside, I used the platform\u2019s own style (Reels, polls, carousels) to flip the script <\/li>\n<li> It\u2019s more than just a campaign\u2014it\u2019s a counter-narrative using Instagram\u2019s own tools <\/li>\n<li> I turned passive scrolling into active reflection\u2014and it caught on <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p> 4. What stylistic and language choices did I make? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Simple, bold phrasing to match the way users consume content <\/li>\n<li> Used an attention\u2013action format:<br \/> e.g. &#8220;One viral clip \u2260 full truth&#8221; \u2192 &#8220;Take 30 seconds: search the full story&#8221; <\/li>\n<li> Tone: non-judgmental, supportive, friendly \u2014 it builds trust <\/li>\n<li> Polls: interactive tools that let users reflect on their habits without shame <\/li>\n<li> The short video is built like a typical viral post \u2014 but instead of misinformation, it delivers clarity <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p> 5. Is the Remix rhetorically successful? Why or why not? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Yes \u2014 because it went viral, meaning it connected emotionally <em>and<\/em> visually <\/li>\n<li> It used the platform\u2019s native strengths: swipe culture, instant messaging, visual attention <\/li>\n<li> Limitation: it\u2019s tough to give deep context in a few words \u2014 but that\u2019s also the genius of it: say more with less <\/li>\n<li> It pushed users to slow down in a space that rewards speed <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p> 6. How does this Remix connect to my original research paper? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> My paper argued that social media shapes public views of justice, often in misleading ways <\/li>\n<li> It showed how algorithms promote emotion over accuracy, and how digital activism can pressure courts <\/li>\n<li> This Remix translates academic insight into real-world behavior change <\/li>\n<li> It\u2019s the bridge between theory and action \u2014 from research to real influence <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<h3> Final instructions:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li> Write it clearly and professionally \u2014 but make it sound like I understand platforms, people, and power <\/li>\n<li> Avoid academic fluff. Be reflective, direct, and strategic <\/li>\n<li> Frame me as a student who is smart, practical, and solutions-oriented <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<p>Let me know if you need access to my Instagram content, research paper, or outline.<br \/> Thanks again \u2014 this piece is key to ending strong!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Platform Used: Instagram Project Topic: How social media distorts justice\u2014and what users can do about it Reflection Goal: A strong, smart, clean 2-page write-up explaining why I made the choices I did and how the Remix connects to my research.
