MISSION 2 : PROCESS

For my second mission, I've chosen to investigate "Online Hate and Harassment: The Trouble with Trolling." As someone who actively and regularly uses the internet and social media, I often witness online hate. However, I usually don't understand the reason behind these trolls' actions. This generation has become dependent on the internet for information, entertainment, connecting with people anywhere and any time, and more.

I hope to develop an understanding of this cruel side of the internet through this mission.

✩ Track and analyse a trolling hashtag on Twitter
✩ Think about why people choose to stay on social media despite the risk of being trolled

We shared a Powerpoint and edited our research into the slides for our presentation.
