With how easy it is to communicate on a global scale, social media has naturally become the quickest way to convey information. It's instantaneous and accessible from any modern cell phone. Between natural disasters and amber alerts, social media has brought communities across the globe together and saved lives. But with how easy it is to communicate information, social media has become a political campaign ground, which defies it's every intention.
As you all have noticed, social media is currently blown up by the recent women's march for feminism. I can't scroll through my Facebook without seeing an argument about why or why not you should be a feminist. Actually, Facebook shouldn't be full of any kind of political argument.
Someone is going to disagree with your political stand and I don't care what your stance is, but keep it off of social media. Social media was created to connect people, not create riots and arguments. From long distance relatives to your roommate, social media allows quick and easy access to share information with people. How did it become a political tyrant?
When I get on Facebook, I want to be able to see how my family is doing. I want to see what events are coming up in my area. I want to see what fundraisers for the community the campus organizations are hosting. I want to see weather updates and warnings. I DO NOT want to see a he said, she said argument on whether or not Trump is doing this and ruining that.
That is what the news is for. This is social media. Keep it social.
