[Air-L] Motivational sentences

[Taylor-Smith, Ella]

Dear Maria

I'm wondering if it will be useful to think of these sentences  (which are presumably presented as images) as a type of *meme*

I'm particularly thinking of Daniel Miller and colleagues' concept:
"Memes are particularly significant as a kind of moral police of
the internet. By using them people are able to express their values and
disparage those of others in less direct and more acceptable ways than
before."

Miller, D., Costa, E., Haynes, N., McDonald, T.,  Nicolescu, R., Sinanan, J., Spyer, J., Venkatraman, S. and Wang, X. (2016). How the world changed social media. London: UCL Press https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-press/browse-books/how-world-changed-social-media

Hope this helps

-Ella
