Native Americans go viral with web protest of celebrities in war bonnets.

      This article is about Native Americans being offended by celebrities, and other nonnative people, wearing the Native American head dresses. The native Americans are using social media to express their frustration at the situation. Native American journalist Vincent Schilling is quoted saying "For decades, the only voice we had was to go out and hold up a sign and say we're frustrated. But now, for the first time, the native voice is being heard on social media." They're not only using this to express their frustration, but their anger, about the Native American misappropriation going on in the world. They are happy about finally being heard in the world.

       I do agree with the Native Americans. They have every right to be angry about the misrepresentation in society. According to the article, the feathers of the head dress were to be earned. Earned through fighting, or by chiefs protecting their people. They were also worn on special occasions. People running around in them for no special reason, is rude.

*College recruiters take social media behavior seriously.*

      This article is about coaches using social media as a factor for college scholarships. They believe that how the recruits act on social media should be taken into account, so they can see who they really are. Rules regarding contact between the coaches and their recruits have become more restricted, making social media one of the few ways coaches can really get to know their recruits. They have cut off quite a few  kids who were eligible for scholarships because of their social media posts and comments. Coach Herb Hand said, "Somebody messaged me, "Sometimes kids are worried more about being a character than having character."

     I do agree with this article on so many levels, but disagree with it too. The way that some people act on social media is outrageous, even if they seem like good people in real life. I'm glad these coaches understand that just because they are respectful to a coach, an important person regarding their future, doesn't mean they are necessarily good people. On a different side of the story though, these coaches could also take advantage of social media to pick people that fit their ideals, no matter how good the player. They could find something that isn't really that big of a deal, like supporting something they don't agree with, and sudden decide that your not cut out for their team anymore. So, if they use it how they are saying they are, its a great thing, but if they are judging people off of biased ideals of what THEY think makes a person better, then its a problem.
