    ! 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.

More and more often I see behaviorism at work in attempting to lure brains to a site or app and to keep them coming back day after day. This book exposes these practices and offers readers a glimpse behind the “emotional scenes” as tech companies come out psychologically fir- ing at their consumers. Unless these practices are exposed and made public, tech companies will continue to shape our brains and not in a good way.” —Larry D. Rosen, Professor Emeritus of Psychology, author of 7 books including The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High Tech World “The Psychology of Silicon Valley is a remarkable story of an industry’s shift from idealism to narcissism and even sociopathy. But deep cracks are showing in the Valley’s mantra of ‘we know better than you.’ Katy Cook’s engaging read has a message that needs to be heard now.” —Richard Freed, author of Wired Child “A welcome journey through the mind of the world’s most influential industry at a time when understanding Silicon Valley’s motivations, myths, and ethics are vitally important.” —Scott Galloway, Professor of Marketing, NYU and author of The Algebra of Happiness and The Four Katy Cook The Psychology of Silicon Valley Ethical Threats and Emotional Unintelligence in the Tech Industry Katy Cook Centre for Technology Awareness London, UK ISBN 978-3-030-27363-7 ISBN 978-3-030-27364-4 (eBook) https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-27364-4 © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2020 This book is an open access publication.

    Sean Parker Unloads on Facebook "Exploiting" Human Weakness

    Sean Parker unloads on Facebook "exploiting" human weakness Sean Parker, the founding president of Facebook, gave me a candid insider's look at how social networks purposely hook and potentially hurt our brains. Be smart: Parker's I-was-there account provides priceless perspective in the rising debate about the power and effects of the social networks, which now have scale and reach unknown in human history. He's worried enough that he's sounding the alarm. Parker, 38, now founder and chair of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, spoke yesterday at an Axios event at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, about accelerating cancer innovation. In the green room, Parker mentioned that he has become "something of a conscientious objector" on social media. By the time he left the stage, he jokingly said Mark Zuckerberg will probably block his account after reading this: "When Facebook was getting going, I had these people who would come up to me and they would say, 'I'm not on social media.' And I would say, 'OK. You know, you will be.' And then they would say, 'No, no, no. I value my real-life interactions. I value the moment. I value presence. I value intimacy.' And I would say, ... 'We'll get you eventually.'" "I don't know if I really understood the consequences of what I was saying, because [of] the unintended consequences of a network when it grows to a billion or 2 billion people and ... it literally changes your relationship with society, with each other ... It probably interferes with productivity in weird ways.
