    I think this article is very organized and realistic because it mentions that people use social media to convey their views today, which often influence others (general public) judgment because when the general public read their comments, the public cannot look at the issue in common psychology.

    Xiaoqin Jiang replied to the topic The Braindead Megaphone

    In my opinion, I think “The Braindead Megaphone” by George Saunders was a very meaningful essay because George Saunders used many new different metaphors to describe some events. In his paper, based on what he saw and heard, he felt that we should turn that Megaphone down because it can distort some truths, and leads general public to believe something.
