For our political campaign, my group focused on a topic that
is not super well known. This is the act of cutting fins off sharks to make
soup. The fins are cut off the sharks when the sharks are still alive and the
sharks are generally just thrown back into the ocean because they have no need
for them. The shark population is decreasing rapidly because of this industry.
However, this industry is extremely profitable in the countries that consume
it. The biggest issue we needed to focus on was to bring awareness because this
is not common knowledge in the US. We wanted to use social media presence to
help bring this awareness. We would host events on Facebook, post facts on
Twitter, and use Instagram to post facts and pictures showing that sharks aren’t
all bad and don’t deserve to be killed so much. By using these platforms, we
reach a wide market. People will take action to help end the violence.
