Blog 8: Who Runs The World? Girls.

Just a few weeks ago, the world celebrated International Women's Day. This is a day designated to bringing to light the challenges women face daily. These challenges include equal pay, violence against women, and general unequal treatment among women.

Women from all over the world chose to celebrate #GirlPower by taking the day off from work to protest. It worked because their male coworkers took to social media to discuss what a day in the office without women is like. Below are a number of tweets posted on that day.



In addition to a number of women taking the day off, a number of businesses chose to close their doors for the day to stand alongside their female employees. This powerful protest definitely caused the world to take notice through the use of social media to reach wide audiences. Social media allowed people all over the world to learn more about International Women's Day and to see first hand the impact of this protest. Hopefully, this will bring about changes to ensure protests like this are no longer necessary in our world.

Blog 7: Greatest Day of the Year

Not Superbowl Sunday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or even Christmas. I'm talking about The Bachelor season finale. The moment we've all been waiting for. Bachelor Nick found his "one true love" during his FOURTH time on the series. Fourth time is the charm right?! Wrong. Everyone is extremely skeptical about the winning relationship, so of course people went straight to social media. #TheBachelorFinale was even the number 1 trending topic on Twitter, surprise surprise. The following are posts by both former show contestants and just us regular folk expressing their hilarious concern for the newly engaged couple.



These pictures show true love if you ask me! I can only imagine what memes will be created in the next few days, but I for one will be keeping a close eye out for them.
#TeamRaven forever!!!!!!
I must now go shame myself for caring this much about The Bachelor. I'm better than this.
