There are millions of different topics that can be discussed when talking of social justice and digital media. The topic that I choose to cover is that of privacy on social media sites. Privacy is becoming more and more important to Americans as we continue to learn of how we are slowing losing our privacy. I believe that is this relevant now more than ever. Today more and more kids are joining social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Kids don’t realize the dangers that can come with posting pictures or thoughts online. Many schools have implemented speeches or class time to teach kids about the dangers of posting things online and how it can lead to them being cyber bullied  These classes are being implemented too late in life. These risks need to be brought to the attention of kids sooner in order for it to have any real impact on them. It is clear to all of America the risks that come with kids being cyber bullied. There have been cases all across the nation of kids being driven to suicide through cyber bullying.  These cases are not always because of kids posting inappropriate things, but one case is enough to start raising attention. 

I like the idea of doing guerrilla art. It seems like an exciting medium to use in order to get a point across. I want to experiment the idea of doing side walk chalk. I believe that this medium if placed in the right spot can truly get the word out about the topic, because if it is placed in an area of high foot traffic then anyone who walks by will be able to see it. This has been used in the past in order to raise awareness about hunger by several different college schools. People have also used this to raise awareness about domestic violence. I believe that this is a great way to raise awareness about privacy on social media. This is a new and interesting form of art. Because it is new, I think it is a great to relate to the new issue of online privacy. It is really popular with the youth of America and that is who we are trying to reach with the message. I think if we went onto our campus and drew the logos of the popular social media sites with messages like "how many of your friends do you know?" or "who all do you want to see this picture?" it would raise awareness to the kids on our campus.
