Project Description: 

In the modern day and age, so-called "memes" are everywhere. Many of us see them on a daily basis, sending funny images or remixed texts to friends and family regularly. With this project, we are studying the potential effects that memes have had on our communication as a society. We ask that you answer truthfully and to the best of your abilities. We do not expect anybody to know every answer, but your closest approximations will get us the best results! As a side note, please understand that the opinions, politics, or information expressed in these images do not necessarily express our or your personal viewpoints; they were simply selected with the intent to gather information from a variety of ideologies.
