News Story Comments

The comments of news stories are usually the most fun part to read. People try to provoke each other and this almost always ends in someone calling someone else a Nazi. Groups are polarized by other people from both sides. No one wants to hear a middle-of-the-road response on the internet. Polarization on the internet can be dangerous because it translates to polarization and extremism in real life. People can be swayed by half-truths and conspiracy theories, which fuel the fire. Comments calling other people names make people angry, and those people are more likely to be polarized.

THE AP TEST AAAAHHHH

I feel relatively confident about this AP Test. I'm pretty good at standarized tests and I've been studying the information from previous chapters. I''m nervous about the scientists and what they did though. And the various cognitive theories. When I took the AP Gov test, I thought it was a lot easier than what everyone had been saying. I hope the same is true with this test, but really everyone has ben saying it's pretty easy. I just want to get it over with and come out with a 4 or 5.
