Thesis Statement & Abstract

Thesis Statement:
Compared with other media, social network site (SNS) games are a powerful media for activism because of the amount of users, interpersonal networking, the use of the internet, information sharing, and high interactions.


Abstract:

       Historically, activists for social changes and political movements have leveraged the dominant media of their times, print, radio, TV, and art. In the information age this trend has not changed. Social Network sites (SNS) have already shown their effectiveness as a tool for activism.  Unlike other media, games on SNS can engage their audiences while disseminating information and can be a powerful new tool for activism.
