Time to think for you, again.
Your life and thoughts are completely affected by social media.
Not on social media?
You’re still affected by it.
Here’s how.
Society lives in social media. Social media is biased.
Algorithms feed information based on bias. Bias keeps people on the site. People consume more of what they believe.
You’re affected by the people closest to you. They share what they’ve read or heard.
Here’s the problem…
People are only reading the headlines. Then putting zero thought into it. They’re repeating the headlines and you’re make decisions.
YOU’RE MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON HEADLINES!
How to change this.
If their talking points mean something to you. Research it yourself. Put some thought into the topics and form your own opinions.
Stop only reading headlines. Headline reading gives the media control of the narrative.
Headlines are meant to sale.
