Entry #7 #CheckThisOut

#Hey,

Image result for hashtagMy name is Adrian Garcia and if you can't tell from this obnoxious use of the hash symbol (otherwise known as pound ), today I'd like to briefly discuss the hash symbol.
Firstly, what I do know about the hashtag symbol is that it's used to categorize social media messages by topic such as #BLM for Black Lives Matters.

I personally do not consistently use social media, and was not in a particular frenzy to hashtag everything I sent.

However, I have read up on this social phenomonon. It seems that the use of hashtags have become very common to promote social movement and stand against injustice. For example, one of the most popular hashtags used was #JeSuisCharlie to stand united with the Charlie Hebdo magazine.

Thanks for reading! That's all I have to say on this topic, what are your thoughts and opinions?

    It does promote social movement and it does stand against injustice but I feel like sometimes it's useless. It makes me feel helpless because i'm not really doing anything, but it does make people aware of the topic you're hash tagging about.
