Social Media

Social Media 

     Social media has grown to connect people's thoughts and ideas through different and modern means of communication. Just like anything else, though, it has its pros and cons.     Despite apparent perception, social media IS controlled and monitored by governments and agencies. This might seem beneficial, but it's more harmful; people believe that they are exposed to "the real deal" when they are actually just being hypnotized by a different, slightly more creative political weapon.     Another swindle in the modern media is the way people abuse the power of expression. Because people are able to hide under anonymous labels, they presume that they have the right to say whatever they want; little people realize that this is just an act of cowardice. The rates of suicide and depression have increased because cyber bullying.     It would simply be plain foolish if i condemn social media ON a social media site, and I am not. Social media is very powerful; it's our duty to learn how to safely use it.
