Social Media
Social media is everything nowadays, we communicate, make friends, and maintain ourselves informed through it. There are some people that claim not to be able of living without social media, internet, or a phone, and some others that wish those things were never created.
Social media for me is a way of communicating , sharing and defending our beliefs. For example, when the Amazone started burning nobody knew, nobody was sure because the media didn’t care about saying anything or making a report on the king of the world.
We knew about the fire like 2 weeks after it started. Even
though we didn’t know about it at the exact moment, people heard about it and they started posting pictures until the whole world knew, and then created fonds that were raised for helping to shot down the fire, so like this many other times people help causes through social media, making of the world a better place where to live, in which all of us can contribute to something good, if we are by this side.
The part that is not so good about social media, is that one in which people do not use it for the betterment of others. For instance, when we use it to discriminate, to cyberbully, to spread negativity, as if there wasn’t enough wrongs in the world. People kill themselves just for the comments of other people on social media.
This needs to stop because people can keep taking their lives because of hatred and negative induced influence, this nonsense most stop! We need to spread love and positivity, that’s what our dark world needs, we need to light this world, make it amazing, a home where we embrace one another.
In conclusion, social media in a weapon that we can decide
how to use, if for good or wrong means, a weapon to end bullying and to create awareness in many aspects, or a weapon to cyberbully, kill, mock, and spread darkness over a world which needs values, improvement, and inspirational examples set.
