  Unit 2 reflection:       The specific audience I chose for these thesis is college students, speaking that we do use the most social media.  Though this may sound like a very generic answer, I believe this may hit them the hardest when stepping out into the real world, or one way that they may be looking at social media.  It gives many an insight about where they may get some of their favorite things, or how billion-dollar brands came to be such a thing.       This research piece however was not the easiest thing for me, and I also am not going to lie, I am not that confident in it.  the paper itself is on the right track, I would even say the thesis is very strong, it just may need a little bit more help and constructive criticism.  I took the time to write out a strong thesis statement, as well as took the time when finding my sources, but I struggled with writing the actual piece itself.  I wasn't sure where to p...

Introduction: My main focus for this Unit 2 Project is understanding the connection between growing businesses and social media.  I started with the question, "How does social media marketing affect the growth of businesses and startups?"  Through my research, I hope to find a positive correlation between the two, seeing social media as an asset in the beginning of businesses.  I believe that social media marketing significantly influences startups and businesses in a positive direction, by targeting members of their specific demographic and creating posts that are engaging with the correct audience, which leads to profit for the company.  Through research articles, TED Talks, and even first-hand experience with what our demographic sees on social media, the use of social media is going to show growth in the world of businesses.   Social media marketing significantly influences startups and businesses in a positive direction by targeting members of their sp...

I choose to check out a document published by the US Small Business Administration titled "A Status Report to Congress: Statistical Information on Women in Business."  My personal history with Bird Library:  If I am being honest, I am not much of a fan of libraries.  As much respect as I have for them, their resources, and what they have to offer, I find myself not spending much of my time in them.  I see the library particularly to be stressful for me when it comes to studying.  Many people find the quietness to be peaceful, or the atmosphere to put them in a better mindset for studying, but I find it to be opposite.  The quietness distracts me more, because I focus more on the little things happening around me, or the constant movement of others, which is more distracting.  I do find the library useful when it comes to research and information.  I also do enjoy utilizing Bird when it comes to group projects.  The study rooms available for s...
