What has happened to our society?

-



Our society has become so insensitive. From the video of the Mad World Remix of Moby Video, it shows how society has become, we aren’t currently this bad, but I could see how we could come to a spiraling downfall. One of the biggest subjects on the video is how consumed everyone is with technology and I believe that this was the reason for a lot of the things that happen now and that happened in the video. This video reminds me of an episode of Black Mirror because of how much it touches on the use of technology, in the episode of Black Mirror everyone was so consumed with their status and how popular they were they didn’t even realize the real issues in the world. 
The video also touches on subjects like plastic surgery which has only become a huge thing because everyone is so consumed on what people all the way across the country think about the way that they look, but getting plastic surgery and looking “perfect” doesn’t make them any happier about themselves. The video also touches on bullying and how that leads to suicide and how the people that bully even after the person dies use it to gain attention and act like they care even though they never did. This is very common now; suicide is something serious and bullying is too but nothing is changing no one is doing anything different. Our society has become dark and it will continue to become darker if we do not do anything to change it.

American Airlines Forces a Women to Change her Shirt

In October of this year a women named Swati Runi Goyal boarded an American Airlines Flight and not long after boarding a crew member told Goyal to get her things and follow him to the front of the plane. Goyal was told by the crew member that she need to either change her shirt or she would get kicked off of the plan. The shirt that she was wearing said "Hail Satan", Goyal is not a Satan Worshipper and the shirt is meant to be an ironic shirt to advocate for separation of church and state and for religious freedom. The crew member of the American Airlines flight told Goyal that "Our crew has found your shirt to be offensive". American Airlines websites states that passengers are required to "dress appropriately" and avoid "offensive clothing", although it does not state what items are offensive, so it leaves it up to the crew to decide. The crew members would not let Goyal keep her shirt displayed, they delayed takeoff and brought a customer se...

The Innovation of Snapchat

Snapchat became a very huge social media outlet for teens and young adults as it was a way to communicate with images and messages that would disappear. Unlike Instagram or Facebook that also appeared during this age of technology, parents would not be able to track what their kids were doing except with snapchat stories. Snapchat was created by students that went to Stanford, it had a slow start, but after rebranding it became a huge hit will school kids. People were able to send photos and texts and they would go away once they were opened. It also tells you if someone takes a screenshot of your messages or snaps. So a lot of people really early on after the rebrand used Snapchat because it was so different to everything else out there. Because it became so huge with kids I feel that it strays away from the curve that we learned about. As many adults do not use snapchat, really only teens and young adults use it. So I am sure in the realm of teenagers and young adults it follo...

Confirmation Bias

Confirmation Bias is the tendency of giving more weight to things that align with your own views. Even when your views are challenged and the side going against you has more evidence and you only find a small amount of evidence to support your side, you would still go with the side that aligns with your own views. So let's consider what a debate over gun control would be like with confirmation bias. One person, Amy supports gun control and only researches articles that go along with her beliefs of their being limitations on gun ownership. Another person, Adam opposes gun control and he finds sources that support his beliefs. When they both see shooting on the news they interpret it to go along with their beliefs even if they are looking at the same exact articles and watching the same news.
