Martin Luther King: The Last Year
No full textThe focus will be on the broader, more radical, and more challenging vision King offered in the last year of his life, and suggests that our current image of King usually downplays this part of his vision. This includes his recognition that war, poverty, and racism were inseparable. One key tool he proposed was the Poor People\u27s Campaign, which emphasized racial inclusion as well as massive civil disobedience
The Practice of Speaking Out: Workshop
No full textInspired by the writing workshops created by Sister Mara Faulkner, this facilitated discussion and writing session invites participants to consider the practices and personal disciplines that prepare us, ground us, fuel us for effective advocacy. How can we use private writing as a rehearsal space for public speech, writing, or action? Where and when and how does speaking up open the path? What resources are needed to support our practice of open-hearted listening, itself an action in the Benedictine tradition of living within and for community
Emotional Contagion Within Social Media
Get PDFSocial networking sites have been growing in popularity over the last decade or so, and there have been many previous studies that have analyzed the possible consequences of these communication and interaction sites. Emotional contagion is the phenomenon of having one person’s emotions and behaviors directly trigger similar emotions or behaviors in other people. On social media, emotional contagion would mean that the emotions in the posts and content the viewer is exposed to are transferred to themselves without their knowledge. The purpose of this current experiment is to analyze how the exposure to positive affective pictures and messages on an Instagram feed could influence the people viewing them. I created a simple experiment with twenty participants total, 11 females and 9 males, that were separated into the experimental and control group through block randomization. My prediction was that the experimental group that is being exposed to the positive feed will have a higher positive affect score on the PANAS than the control group. My results found a strong effect size and significant p-value which supported my hypothesis as well as the research done previously on this topic
