Will gladly welcome any criticism.
Ah, the not-so-age-old question on the merits of social media. It seems that every day you hear about or see someone posting things that should never be in public. Also, it appears that many pop icons are notorious for their lewd, irreverent, and inappropriate posts on Twitter. However, saying that social media should be done away with because it's a possible platform for the spread of negative influence is entirely false. Just as easily as it can be used to spread bad things, social media can be used to spread very positive things. For example, if someone wants to point out a wrong that needs to be righted, then all he or she has to do is take it to Twitter or Facebook and the people who see that post can share it with others, who in turn share it with even more people. Eventually, the topic becomes well known and brings up the possibility of change. Also, when negative things are posted, such as inappropriate racial comments, drunken escapades, and sexually suggestive pictures, the blame does not fall on the social medium they decide to use. That would be like saying that the microphone is at fault for recording an inappropriate statement or that the camera is at fault for taking a suggestive picture. At the end of the day, it's up to the individual to decide whether or not to post something positive or something negative.
To tweet or not to tweet?
