Project 3 was based off of reasoning. My topic was hate speech v. social media/hate speech. I was interested in this topic because I wanted to know what made something hate speech. I also wanted to know what hate speech looked like in person vs on social media. My final project ended up being a magazine. For social studies, I created a mind map, along with a key to explain my reasoning on the connections. For English, I wrote two articles, one being on how I believe social media platforms can better moderate hate speech and the other being on whether or not I think social media is beneficial. And finally for art, I created an illustration based off of hate speech.
I began by mainly researching hate speech and the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capital. My original topic idea was to base my social studies portion off of that attack, however, later on I changed it to just hate speech. I broadened my research by then researching free speech/the First Amendment. This allowed me to create a mind map that answered the question as to why I think we don't have total freedom of speech. The three main connections I made was the government, freedom of thought, and the First Amendment. While for English my research focused more on data and statistics of social media. I also researched hate speech on social media, along with the effects hate speech on social media can have.
