Hello social media world!! I am excited to start this blog and be able to communicate my thoughts and knowledge of social media and the effects that it has on our culture today. So, I'm excited to announce that the topic of this blog will be: The effects of being overly open over the social media. I am excited to talk about this because I think that social media is a great way to connect with others whom you see daily or those whom you rarely see anymore and that is so amazing, but when people are to open over the internet it can cause them to get hurt by others and it can even be shaming themselves. Today's culture has started numb itself to shame  and everything that is surrounding us is telling us to keep pushing the limits and to keep exposing ourselves. I see the media being used as it was intended which is to connect people, but now it just seems like people are just doing anything they can for a little bit of attention no matter how wrong or shameful it may be. Now obviously not everyone abuses the social media, but by simply clicking a "like" button or viewing a video you are encouraging our culture to continue on a path that ultimately leads to a broken world where people will sell each other out for a bit of fame or that will separate even more those who are deemed cool and popular to those who are viewed as lesser and will segregate our world in a new way. So I look forward to this blog and to see what comes up in the next few months as well as feedback by you readers so we can discuss each others opinions!
