Communication technology moves society backwards
Communities are users of Social Media formats and it appears that some of the worst in neighbors and neighborhoods is in our face. The sharing of ideas, different points of views, role playing with a "bait and switch" motive that replaces the use of sarcasm has created a realm of chaos. All of this chaos is now, transferred by design to the World on
the World-Wide-Web.
Then there is the posting of misinformation that is not corrected. Mistakes happen in writing, typing, quotes, etc. but, these authors were known to have copy-editors to correct those mistakes either before printing or even noted as a correction after publishing.
There is a trendy new term titled disinformation that is just a replacement word for the old term propaganda. Society appears to be vulnerable. Economics, Poverty, Climate Change, War, Natural Disasters are topics / events that are at battle on acceptance of perspectives.
Then we have individuals and organizations that set the stereotypes, which has brought-out prejudice that again is transferred by design to the World on the World-Wide-Web.
Years were spent telling the public that the news was fake and this drove more and more people to the social media formats. Carrying smartphones around became a constant connect to drumming stereotypes of hate, bias, and prejudice that again is transferred by design to the World on the World-Wide-Web.
Society utilized a communication tool that was meant to enhance the ability to communicate with each other and join conversations but, it has failed.
What has happened is a false power unleashed in the hands of the general public continuing the drumming of targeted stereotypes of hate, bias, and prejudice that again is transferred by design to the World on the World-Wide-Web.
It can be uncomfortable, but not talking about stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination allows it to continue unchallenged. Educate yourself and others about your own stereotypes, prejudices, and discriminatory actions.
Invest and donate to icons like Rachel Cargle, who use Patreon to educate communities.
Call out comments and jokes that reinforce stereotypes. Challenge the notion that jokes or comments based on stereotypes are socially acceptable
