In the film that we watched I figured out that it took them a lot of work for campaigns and it tools time for it to be successful. I can say this is related about my essay because I spoke about technology and selfie and his campaign was successful because he used better technologies and came up with better idea to tell his supporters . The social media can cause so much problems that it made a big impact on his campaign thatâs cause him to lost . We all can use technology in our own preferences but it will make life so much easier for usÂ
Wladimir,
Great response. Can you say a bit more specifically how you think the campaign used technology to its advantage? Â I see clearly in the film how technology brought about the downfall of the campaign, but it’s less clear to me how technology worked in favor of Weiner’s campaign.
Thanks,

The thing that is in the movie which connects with my essay is photos that Mr. Wiener. In my essay, I’m discussing memes what usually are photos with descriptions. In the movie, the phots destroyed his career. In my essay, memes can sometimes have misinformation in them, which can cause trouble for the peoples in them.
Good connection. Â You could discuss how certain memes become viral–just the way that Weiner’s crotch pic went viral after he posted it to Twitter.

one thing in the movie that connects with my essay is that there will be a lot of haters that will try to stop you from Achieving your goals. They will bring your past and put you down. In my essay, I will be talking about a conflict with one of my teacher.

At the start of Anthony Wiener’s campaign he discloses that he had a made a mistake in his personal life and that he has learned from it and was ready to move on. This had a really great impact in the beginning of his campaign because of the message he was trying to conveying was relatable; everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance. He also was catering majority of his plans to middle-class New Yorkers while also visiting and representing the LGBT, African-American, and Latino communities. In my essay I described relatability as one of the main features of a meme. The more relatable a meme or something is, the more popular and invigorated it will be. Once other parts of the scandal were released to the public media it really took a toll on his campaign. It destroyed the initial message that he was trying to convey and since this was the second time the scandal was publicized, his response was less relatable. After this moment in his campaign he was not able to recover what he had lost. Likewise when a meme is no longer relatable it too dies.
One thing in the movie that connects with my essay is based on how many people were constantly hating on a guy who just wanted to be successful and achieve his goals, however with so much conflicts and negative comments it caused a-lot of problems in his life. In my essay I’m talking about objectifying woman when posting pictures(selfies) of themselves on social media , which leads so many people that tend to have negative comments and this ends up affecting their self esteem and people emotionally.(my friends for ex)
One thing in the film that relates to my essay is manipulation. In the film, social media manipulates people to go against Anthony Wiener. In my essay, I talk about how people use selfies to manipulate the viewers to build a new/fake persona.
Watching âKriegman and Steinbergâs Weinerâ I saw a lot of connections with my essay since I wrote about smartphones. From the beginning of the documentary where the scandal started, where Weinerâs private pictures were leaked. If he didnât have a smartphone none of this wouldnât happen but the smartphone changed that. We use smartphones every day and itâs part of our lifeâs whether we like it or not. Wienerâs scandal is one of many other scandals that happened. From Kim Kardashianâs sex tape to the the the most recent one of Jeff Bezosâs private messages.

* Chen states that online utopia where we all get along and jobs would be plentiful with the amount of work needed to take care of the internet.
In my essay I wrote about the various aspects of social media. How people use it on their own purpose. Sometimes people use it in a good way but sometimes they use it to harm others. Just like the movie we watched. Anthony Weiner did everything to win the election and he almost won. But because of social media he not only lost the election but also everything he had. Itâs ruin his hole life
