Prepare a debate on how modern social media makes us more socially active.
Answers
Answer:
1. We can reply and express our opinion on various topics unlike other traditional media. It makes us care more about topics.
2. There is no gatekeeping so anybody can share their opinion on day to day news. So people have more choice on who to listen to. Anybody can provide information to anybody.
2a This allows people to become kind of a journalist themselves reporting on injustices through their own cameras. Viral medias such as those of george floyd can allow people to start an organic movement fighting for their rights.
3. When people participate in the discussion on social media can't control the views of people. People can talk to people of other races, castes, any other identity or see their struggles through videos of their favourite content creators of that identity.
4. You can start a movement on social media and you can reach people in huge numbers who can donate to the movement and/or protest if they care about the issues.
