Sample Response: In "The Role of Social Media in the Arab Uprisings," the authors claim that social
media played a huge part in the organization and
communication of protesters. They also claim that
social media was vital in communicating what was
happening with nations outside of the Arab world.
The argument is convincing, as the authors use varied
forms of relevant evidence, including well-researched
studies and verifiable data. Furthermore, they provide
commentary to show how social media, in some
examples, works better and faster than traditional
news sources.
