When I scroll through my news feed on my social media sites I more so than not come across those good ole memes that friends post to try and get their political views, religious beliefs, or their opinions on what the latest news media outlet is ranting about. Most people don't even care if it's factual or not. If they like what it says, and goes along with their belief system they are going to post it. Social networking has changed a whole lot since I first joined it back in 2009. 2009, you say? I never even knew a Myspace existed until I joined facebook. I was a very private person, and kept most of my opinions to myself. My family values were for me and my family only, and I really didn't let what other peoples views on things effect me, or change how I felt about them. Probably because it wasn't shoved down my throat everyday like it is on social media.
Someone recently posted a meme about how people are more offended than they used to be about things. Well, I would agree 100% with that, not because there is more to be offended by, but because people have an outlet to offend a greater number of people at one time than ever before. Think about it, we usually discussed things with people from our own inner circles. Now we reach people we haven't seen in 20 years. If we belong to groups, we can reach even more people we've never met with our opinions. I often think about deleting my social network accounts, and go back to my quiet, private, less opinionated life style, but I bet that would offend you.
