In this day and age, social media and technology allows people to report the news, share information and express their opinions. What if that person decides to spread their negative agenda to wager attention or interest? Flood the headlines and distract the world from living in harmony. Recently there has been “activist” taking advantage of the media to get their points across. Purposely knowing the words or rhetoric can and will cause chaos, the media still proceeds pops a bag of popcorn and sit in the front row waiting for events to unfold. Even though its sad and unfortunate most media outlets thrives off of casualty, greed and misfortune.
Is this the direction our media is heading? If I had a powerful message or act of “selfishness” and used social media/technology as a medium to paint my picture would you join the crowd and watch in anticipation? I always said that, “The Internet can be any idiot’s soapbox.” but with the direct correlation between social media and traditional media our society could be in trouble. Should we ignore those with the so called, “Look at me!!” attitude? We need to really find a way to regulate how the media deals with these “activists or extremist” who sole purpose is to disrupt the fabric of well-being and living cohesively no matter what religion, gender, race or beliefs you may hold.
