My twitter account has become a list of the people I'd like to invite to my next dinner party. They entertain me while introducing me to new ideas and feeding needed information about the world I live in. I really enjoy following Patricia Arquette, I loved True Romance along with many of her other roles, I also appreciate that she is a strong advocate for woman all over the world.  I also follow some news sources, I like BBC because I like to know what the rest of the world is doing and thinking, with out The United States interests involved. The Onion is great because, well because they're funny.

Some of my retweets include a Greenpeace meme and a snarky quip about trying to pick a presidential candidate.

I definitely think that social media has enhanced my role as a citizen of the world. I have been able to read tweets directly from the source in cases such as during the Ferguson protest. National news chose to report of the violence and portrayed the protesters as violent and rioting. Through tweets of the protesters we were able to see that they were actually trying to be peaceful.
