The Influence of Social Media During a Pandemic

    I chose to explore my project on the influence of social media during a pandemic. Due to the climate in which we are living in right now, I believe its extremely important for me to analyze this topic. My project would trace back to the last few months of 2019, where coronavirus was merely mentioned and not taken seriously. From there, I would form a timeline where everything escalated in the result of lockdowns especially the lockdown in America during the month of March. My primary sources of evidence and information would come from several social media platforms like Whatsapp, Twitter and Instagram. These platforms spread information like wildfire and caused lots of misleading information which can be dangerous. Social media has caused a frenzy resulting in toilet paper fights, stimulus checks and productivity culture. I plan to present both positive and negative aspects of social medias influence throughout this crucial time in history.
