Hair Tutorial Gone WRONG



http://fashionweek.com/cosmopolitan-faces-criticism-saying-cornrows-new-trend/
An example of a bad post was shown on July 16, 2016 at 1 pm when the magazine company, Cosmopolitan, posted a video that caused tons of backlash from their audience. One reason that the post was bad is that the company didn’t listen and observe their audience or do their research before creating a post that called an old age hairstyle by a particular race a new trend. Another reason that the post is bad is that since the correct research wasn’t done, thousands of commenters accused the company of cultural appropriation and threatened to never buy the magazine again. The only thing that Cosmopolitan did  do right about this post is show social media etiquette by taking responsibility for the problem and apologizing by saying “*A note from the editors: Many of you have commented on this video and the language used to promote it. We take your feedback seriously and we apologize. We can and will do better.”
