BLOOM’S TAXONOMY and MASS MEDIA 2.0

What was the 2013 Word of the Year?

What’s your lifetime total? ______

Because of the selfie’s close-up nature, it’s far more intimate than, say, the portrait your sister took of you standing in front of the Grand Canyon. Many selfies carry sexual undertones, especially since the majority of selfies are, obviously, user-approved, and designed to leave a positive impression or elicit a positive response. But it’s not just technology that has driven the selfie—and it’s not only teenage girls and singles using it to take control of how they present themselves to the world.

What’s up with selfies?

And then there’s the most famous selfie-indulgent celebrity, Kim Kardashian, who admittedly took 1,200 shots of her Kimself on a vacation in Thailand. Rizzoli is publishing a book of her self-shots in April. The title gets right to my critical point: “Selfish.”

Otherwise Looks Like Just Ego”Andrea Sachs

What’s up with selfies?

Some critics of the genre [selfies] think they're an icky vice, and that everyone would be better off if they ceased to exist. For example, a recent joint study of self-portraits in social media by three universities in the U.K. found that aggressively posting self-portraits on Facebook can alienate our friends and loved ones. A recent poll, in fact, found that selfies compose a disturbing 30 percent of images snapped by everyone's favorite demographic — the much-beloved millennial.

The Question Formulation Technique

• Produce Your Own Questions• Improve Your Questions• Prioritize Your Questions

1. Use a FOCUS to ask questions about.

FOCUS:Setting a goal to work in a specific career or for a specific company requires a variety of research strategies to develop the best plan for succeeding with your goal.

2. Produce your questions. Four Essential Rules for Producing Your Own

Questions:

• Ask as many questions as you can.• Do not stop to discuss, judge, or answer the questions.• Write down every question exactly as it is stated.• Change any statements into a question.

3. Improve your questions. Categorize the Questions as Closed or Open-

Ended:

• Closed-ended questions: They can be answered with “yes” or “no” or with one word.• Open-ended questions: They require

an explanation and cannot be answered with “yes” or “no” or with one word.

Find closed-ended questions. Mark them with a “c”. The other questions must be open-ended. Mark them with an “o.”

4. Prioritize your questions.

• Choose your three most important questions.•Why did you choose these three as the most important?

5. Discuss next steps.

How are you going to use your questions?

6. Reflect. What did you learn? How can you use it?
