Due for Tuesday, Oct 12th Read this article on mental health online. Blog post: Do you believe that the proliferation of mental health content on social media is leading to an attitude that "treat[s] mental illness like a subculture, complete with its own vocabulary that only those in the know can use and weaponize" and "seiz[es] on common human behaviors to name — gaslighting, emotional labor, trauma, parasocial relationships, “empath” as a noun — then disseminating them until they cease to mean much at all"? What is the danger in how internet culture / social media culture intersects with mental illness? Should social media companies try to police mental health content on their platforms like misinformation about the vaccine or COVID? DO you believe that we, as a society or culture, are "chronically online"? |
