Research Motivation

Ⅰ. Research Motivation

There were two reasons that motivated me to do this research.

First, since I have followed many foreign singers, actors/ actresses on Instagram, one day when I was scrolling Instagram like usual, I noticed that many foreign artists have changed their profile pictures into all black; meanwhile, they all posted the same thing— Black Lives Matter. That was the moment I started to notice this social movement. After that, I learned more about this movement through searching the “BLM” online, and the “George Floyd case” impressed me the most. The photo of the scene caught my eyes at the very first moment when I saw it, making me wanna look into the movement deeply.
