Paper Update Part 2: The Squeakuel

So I'm using a new picture because credible sources for subjective topics are very hard to come by. So I'm now using this pic, and am going to be arguing against it. I will be focusing on the psychology of how people decide what decisions are "right", arguing that slacktivism isn't done in order to make people feel good. Rather, it is done because people believe that spreading awareness is the most helpful action they can do in their current situation.

So far I have quite a few sources about how people make decisions based on their view or understanding of ethics. I'm pretty prepared for counterarguments- such as how slacktivism hurts activism, how people will trick themselves into thinking something unethical is actually ethical, and how people who engage in morally appropriate behavior will consider that they can "afford" to engage in less ethical behavior without discrediting themselves. These were the most popular and logical arguments against slacktivism I could find, atleast. I have counterarguments in mind for these, and am currently finding reputable sources to back them up!
