Final Project Summary

For my semester project, I wrote an article about safe spaces & trigger warnings and their relationship with social media. The conversation on safe spaces recently opened up again this summer due to the University of Chicago rejecting "intellectual" safe spaces and trigger warnings, and I expect the conversation to continue due to Donald Trump becoming the president-elect of the United States. In my article I explored both sides of the argument, while implementing some of my opinion. The article can be found here.
