This year, we have covered many different court cases and subjects. My favorite subject was our last discussion. What era are we in?
I believe that we are in the era of social media. In today's age, social media controls almost everything. If you post something bad in your teens, it can show up to haunt you later in life.
Social media is not something that just teenagers are on though. Parents, and even grandparents, are adapting to the new technology and social media apps as well. Former presidents are even using social media, like Donald Trump.
We use social media not only to keep up with your friends and family, but also to hear news of what is happening in the world. Social media can control a nation by what news it releases to the public. News sources are able to manipulate stories into being something completely different.
Now, imagine these news sources are now broadcast to the whole nation. You are seeing and reading what they want you to see. Unless you research the subject itself, you will most likely not be seeing the whole story.
