ASSIGNMENT 20

"I tweet, therefore I am". What was Brian and Dave's opinion of this?
 They think it brings a strong awarness but they want action. "the relationship between cause and effect is defined by action regardless of medium."
I agree with exactly with what both are saying we need action.
Slacktivism (sometimes slactivism) is a portmanteau formed out of the words slacker and activism.what slacktivisim is when people are not will to do what they tweet and they are just putting world out there that they are not really willing to live. The are not will to go out in the world and actually do something that is real and that will make a real impact on people lives.What tracktivism is what they are trying to do, they are trying to get people on a track so that they will go out and do things to help the cause and improve people's live. They want these people to be improving people lives and not just talking out it on the internet. philanthropic capitalism is when people do out and do good for the entire community. When people are trying to improve the live of others and not just making a better life for themselves.. The wristbands are defiantly a interesting point that they talk about in the interview because they talk about how people will get these wristbands just to get a wristband to make them feel like they are apart of something. The bad thing about this is that people do not do anything about the issue that the wristband stands for they just have the wristband. The people that receive the wristband have to be more active and have to be more will to act on the issue and they should not just be getting the wristband to get a wristband. What David mean by "charity is dead, invest in the future" is that we should be look into the future and investing in things that are really important for your futures and your children's futures. We need to really pull ourselves together and lean to move forward and to make a perter life for the people that come after us. I do believe that the campaign is legit because they are investing in people in these countries that do not have a lot of money and they are starting to build a infurstructure in the towns that they are working in. The communities are becoming strong and one day these communities of people will be able to create jobs on their own and they will be able to support themselves.
