Information posted intentionally or unintentionally by use of social media is not a new concept. Aside from a journalistic perspective, citizens of the Internet can freely post personal stories, pics, selfies, fiction, something caught on smartphone, and so forth. Many stories are posted with a specific intent, and sometimes there are legal and/or social ramifications with these stories. However, some stories that are posted make the news and are critiqued by both fans, nonfans, the general public, and the media.
Because of the ability to post various types of information, people can have an ongoing conversation about the subject matter. But, questions arise as to the appropriateness of the information and whether or not ethics matter. Are people at risk who are in relationships because what is private can be made public? Should individuals go to a public place armed with a smartphone as a form of protection to record questionable behaviors, if necessary? Can an interpretation of a message (personal or otherwise) be perceived as a lesson by the public even if that wasnt the intention of the message? Should posted information be given attention because of the harm the messenger has caused?
Read/view the stories: Bullied for Breastfeeding (Links to an external site.), Grandma Found Unconscious (Links to an external site.), California Cops Tried to Run Over… (Links to an external site.), Riley Curry (Links to an external site.), and Father and Daughter Morning Motivation (Links to an external site.)
Choose one of these stories to write an argument that expresses your point of view of displays of information. Explain the purpose of the information, how you think the information is perceived, and any ethical dilemmas.
When developing your ideas, think about why the information was posted. What are the reactions to the information? Is displaying the information a responsible act? Does the messenger need to take responsibility for what is posted? Does the information explain, educate, shame, protest an action, empower, or entertain? Should any of those factors matter? You can discuss social media as the medium for the information and a persons right to post, but your focus should be about the rhetorical impact of the information.
You are required to choose one of the articles or videos and build your argument based on the article or video within your essay. Use evidence from the article and credible sources to further support or refute your ideas.
In your introduction, decide how to introduce your topic. Set up the background, history, and/or problem of your topic; lead readers to your thesis/claim which will state your perspective.
In your body paragraph, give a brief desrption or a brief summary of the story as it relates to your thesis.
Your remaining paragraphs will be devoted to an analysis of your topic; in other words, you will discuss ways your topic makes its points and supports your thesis. You are also required to include at least two sources within your essay. You can use the sources that accompany this assignment in the Final Module, or you can use your own research. Evidence within your essay must be cited appropriately using MLA format. This includes properly formatted quoted and/or paraphrased information, and you must have proper citations in parenthesis following the quoted and/or paraphrased information.
*Include a cited Works Cited page that lists the sources you cite within your essay.
**When including your sources, the idea is to choose sentences or phrases that support you rather than you supporting the sources. Avoid copying and pasting passages and passing them as your own even with citations. Work that is comprised of mostly others ideas will result in a lower grade, and if the work is constituted as plagiarism, even unintentional plagiarism, it will not be graded (I cant grade what isnt your work).
If anyone has questions about the use of sources, please let me know.

The following case study presents issues related to various levels of police encounters with a suspect and potential criminal evidence and the legal justification required for those encounters.Case Study:Officer Taylor is on routine nighttime patrol when she notices a vehicle pass her driven by an African American female. The vehicle appears to have a broken taillight that appears to be covered with colored tape. She directs the driver to pull the car to the side of the road. The car is an older model gold Pontiac and as Officer Taylor walks to the driver-side of the vehicle, she remembers that a car fitting this general description was the suspected car in a recent road side killing of a fellow police officer.The driver has long braids, tattoos, and a nose ring. As Officer Taylor looks at the driver, she thinks to herself, “Another one of those people we need to get off the streets.”Wanting to make sure that she is safe, Officer Taylor asks the driver to step out of her vehicle for a brief pat-down for weapons. She pats her down and finding no weapons, Officer Taylor asks the driver to have a seat back inside her vehicle. Officer Taylor then asks the driver for her driver’s license and registration. Instead of providing her driver’s license and registration, the driver speeds away resulting in a high speed chase.The chase ends when the fleeing car hits a telephone pole and crashes.Concerned that the car may ignite in flames from a leaking gas tank, Officer Taylor removes the unconscious woman to a safe distance from the vehicle. Officer Taylor returns to the vehicle to locate the driver’s purse for identification. As she enters the vehicle, Officer Taylor notices the glove compartment has popped open and that underneath some documents is a gun which she retrieves. Officer Taylor also retrieves the driver’s purse from the floor on the passenger side of the vehicle. Officer Taylor opens the purse to get the woman’s identification and finds what appears to be a baggie of marijuana. It is later determined that this vehicle was not the car involved in the shooting death of the fellow officer. It is also later determined that the taillight was not broken.Please answer the following questions explaining your answer in detail by analyzing the facts presented and other factors you consider relevant; defining and explaining key legal terms; and citing legal authority (your text and other legal authority) to support your conclusions in a 2–3 page paper (excluding the title page and reference page):Did Officer Taylor’s thoughts about “those people” influence her decision-making during this stop?Did Officer Taylor have reasonable suspicion to make the initial stop of this vehicle?Was the “pat-down” of the driver legal?Did exigent circumstances exist for Officer Taylor to give chase to this vehicle?Was the gun in “plain view” and legally obtained?Will the marijuana baggie be admissible evidence?Note: This Assignment will require outside research.
