Project Reflection
This project aimed to persuade the members of the council to vote against the pink water bottle company using a number of strategies. To finish this project, there are two parts outlined: The first part involves the general explanation of the reasons why the company should not be set up in that region. It was easy to stipulate these reasons because the aim was to make the members of the council nostalgic about how the community has been prior to the establishment of the company. It was easy to remind them that establishing a mining company would have adverse effects on the community.
The second part included the incorporation of social media posters with captions that demonstrate how mining can affect the community. The task here was to use the pictures to stress on the seriousness of the matter on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Social media activism is a tool Velasquez and LaRose (2015) define as a game change for social issues in the next few years. By showing how the community will end up through pictures, it would be easier for the members of the council to get a clear picture of the possible outcomes. However, the pictures alone would not be enough to demonstrate the outcome. A clear explanation to accompany the pictures would enable the council to understand. Each post had a different caption, that way, it would be easy for readers on all platforms to emerge into the matter, understand, and share the knowledge with other users.
What I liked most about this project is that it is something that I can relate to and one that affects everyone in the community. It enabled me to understand that although community developmental projects are good, they can have severe consequences and this is one of them (Prno, Pickard,
