    DEADLINE.com FROM THE BLACK WE HEAR-- MARK (V.O.) Did you know there are more people with genius IQ’s living in China than there are people of any kind living in the United States? ERICA (V.O.) That can’t possibly be true. MARK (V.O.) It is. ERICA (V.O.) What would account for that? MARK (V.O.) Well, first, an awful lot of people live in China. But here’s my question: FADE IN: INT. CAMPUS BAR - NIGHT MARK ZUCKERBERG is a sweet looking 19 year old whose lack of any physically intimidating attributes masks a very complicated and dangerous anger. He has trouble making eye contact and sometimes it’s hard to tell if he’s talking to you or to himself. ERICA, also 19, is Mark’s date. She has a girl-next-door face that makes her easy to fall for. At this point in the conversation she already knows that she’d rather not be there and her politeness is about to be tested. The scene is stark and simple. MARK How do you distinguish yourself in a population of people who all got 1600 on theirDEADLINE.com SAT’s? ERICA I didn’t know they take SAT’s in China. MARK They don’t. I wasn’t talking about China anymore, I was talking about me. ERICA You got 1600? MARK Yes. I could sing in an a Capella group, but I can’t sing. 2. ERICA Does that mean you actually got nothing wrong? MARK I can row crew or invent a 25 dollar PC.

  • Case Study Master
    ! 1 Fundamentals of Screenwriting: Assessment Two Analyse EITHER a film OR a screenplay of your choice, referring in detail to one or more of the models and/ or theories of narrative structure that you have encountered on this module. --------------------------- The Social Network in an adapted screenplay based on the book ‘The Accidental Billionaires’ By Ben Mezrich. The screenplay was written by Aaron Sorkin and tells the story of the social networking site, Facebook, and its founder Mark Zuckerberg, from the inception of the idea to Zuckerberg’s establishment as one of the youngest billionaires in recent history. It also details the other people said to be involved in Facebook’s creation including Eduardo Saverin, Zuckerberg’s best friend, and the Winklevoss twins, who claim that Zuckerberg stole the idea of Facebook from them. The Social Network is both an adaptation of book ‘The Accidental Billionaires’, by Ben Mezich, and a historical adaptation. Whilst Mezrich claims to have tried to accurately re-tell the events of the creation of Facebook, himself saying “I have tried to keep the chronology as close to exact as possible” (Mezrich, 2009), Sorkin appears to have written the screenplay for The Social Network under no such restriction, adhering more to the logic mentioned in unused dialogue of Lawrence of Arabia, “History isn’t made up of truth anyhow, so why worry”. (Chopra-Gant, 2008). This essay will analyse the screenplay of the Social Network, first through the lens of a number of classical film theories, before discussing the tendency of Sorkin’s screenplay to bend rules, particularly those of the modern screenwriting gurus.

  • ONLINE COMMUNITIES, ECHO CHAMBERS and the ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT | David R Poiner/ Curtin University
    Social Media, Communities and Networks Conference paper Online communities, echo chamber and the anti-vaccine movement David Poiner Curtin university [email protected] Keywords Social media, Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest, Twitter, Anti-Vaccine, Anti-Vax, Echo Chambers, Confirmation bias, Elective exposure theory, Bias assimilation, Targeted advertising, Online freedom, World Health Organisation, WHO Abstract In the first few months of 2019 a large amount of attention has been drawn to the roles that social media giants like Facebook, Instagram, Pintrest and Youtube are playing in the spread of misinformation. This attention has primarily been focused around the spread of anti-vaccine propaganda as a global resurgence of diseases have been observed by the World Health Organisation. These giants have created this problem through the use of targeted advertising, bolstering confirmation bias, aiding the creation of echo chambers and using their platforms to hijack the neural chemistry of its users. This paper will endeavour to show the real-world negative consequences that come hand-in-hand with giving people freedom of association online. Introduction The technology boom of the 21st century has brought with it the overconsumption of social media platforms, like Facebook, that lead to the creation of online communities. These communities allow communication and instantaneous information sharing. Albeit, factual or not. Platforms like Facebook give users the freedom to connect with likeminded peers and facilitate the forging of strong relationships. Often with complete strangers and based entirely on personal interests, hobbies, ideologies and beliefs. There are, however, potential consequences that come with this freedom. Facebook allows users to create closed communities’ and groups which have the potential ONLINE COMMUNITIES, ECHO CHAMBERS AND THE ANTI-VACCINE MOVEMENT | David R Poiner/ Curtin University to aid in the creation of online echo chambers.

Blogs sprang up across cyberspace as women virulently objected to the misogyny of the film supposedly capturing “the character of a generation.” Articles and reviews titled, “Is the Facebook Movie Sexist?”, “The Social Network: Where Women Never Have Ideas,” “The Homosocial Network,” and “The Social Network’s ‘Angry Nerd Misogyny,’” proliferated from popular social commentary sites such as Slate.com, Jezebel.com, Salon.com, and IFC.com.

  • Facebook As an Intermediary in Emerging Markets
    University of San Andrés School of Business and Administration Facebook as an Intermediary in Emerging Markets Author: Isabel Elena Ashworth Oris de Roa Legajo: 25004 Mentor: Daniel J. Friel Buenos Aires, December 26th 2018 Executive Summary Unlike developed markets, which are held together through a series of physical and institutional infrastructures that facilitate and foment economic operations, emerging markets as constituted by markets where buyers and sellers are not able to come together efficiently. (Khanna and Palepu, 2010) That is to say, where the institutions that facilitate economic activity, as well as the absence of an associated set of rewards and sanctions to enforce those rules, norms and belief systems are absent, resulting in institutional voids. Through a descriptive study, this thesis considers Facebook as an intermediary, the entity that inserts itself between sellers and buyers to abridge the gap created by institutional voids, limiting itself to small and medium businesses within the Argentine market. Through the analysis of the case study of En Orden (Argentine SMB), Facebook has shown to act as an intermediary through the company’s function as a credibility enhancer, a transaction facilitator and an adjudicator. 2 Index 1.
