The Effect of Social Media on Loyalty Abby Cornwell

 Welcome to our podcast, which connects Charles Dickens’ portrayal of loyalty in A Tale of Two Cities with society’s current views of loyalty and how it has been affected by social media. A Tale of Two Cities stresses the importance of loyalty, whether it is loyalty to family as evidenced by Lucie supporting her father, or loyalty to an idea, as shown through the use of the code name Jacques in the revolution. We are looking to bring Dickens’ idea of loyalty into our current society by exploring how social media shapes our views of loyalty.
