Youth can be ridiculed because of posts on social media. According to the article “Could you Become a Mean Meme?” by Kristin Lewis, a girl named Ashley VanPevenage was turned into a meme that had cruel comments about her skin. The meme originated as a post on social media. This goes to show that anything one posts could be used as a cruel joke by others, as many believe they appear anonymous online. The same article says that “your less than stellar moments can be captured and preserved online.” When someone could see one of these “less than stellar moments,” they could post a cruel or ridiculing comment about it, as once again many feel a sense of anonymity and feel freedom to do so. So, indeed, anything one would post could be mocked.

Social Media is a form of communication in which a person shares information, personal ideas, and thoughts online. The foundation of social media began in 1997 when the first social media site Six Degrees was developed. Since 1997, social media has become an iconic name and has become part of this generation's conversation. There are over 100 million people using social media to gain access to the digital world, with over 20 social media sites including Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram (Milanovic 1). Roughly 80 percent of teens and 20 percent of adults use social media daily and almost half of the users were bullied or criticized for a single comment. Comments that include discrimination, sexism, or political beliefs can be retweeted to thousands in a matter of hours. “Accusations go viral, globally, within hours, and instead of having dozens of angry voices baying for your blood, you have tens of thousands” (Haley 1). Although social media has made it easier to communicate these sites, make it easier to be critical or prejudiced to others online instead of face-to-face.

“The city was hidden by that awful cloud . . . boiling up, mushrooming, terrible and incredibly tall," said Colonel Paul Tibbets, pilot of the modified B-29 bomber that dropped the world’s first atomic bomb over Hiroshima. The bombings resulted in the death of thousands, including not only Japanese citizens, forces, and military but also American captive soldiers. In the midst of World War II the United States forced Japan to surrender by dropping bombs in the major cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They released the second atomic bomb shortly after, in Nagasaki, Japan.

Little Walter is one of the most interesting and intriguing musician of all time. He isn’t someone that people may have necessarily heard about or seen on the news, but he is just as important to music as any other famous musician. Blues and Jazz are what come to mind when at the sound of his name. One writer, Paul Oliver, states “Many younger urban blues musicians were influenced by his playing, and he had acquired a strong following in Europe long before he toured there in the 1960s.” Walter was widely appreciated throughout the world even before he truly became famous, and still continues to be remembered today.

In this article, Tarshis gives an example of how social media affects our behavior. In this example with Anna and Maya, one person comments on a photo based on the comments of others, which hurt the person who posted it initially. When the picture was first posted, the comments were nice, but after a while, when one person said something insulting or mean, so did others.

Every day, millions of people use social media to either converse with their peers or to post pictures. There has been much discussion on whether or not individuals should be prosecuted for rude statements made on social media. Individuals should not be prosecuted for derogative statements made on social media. Although some may say that prosecuting cyberbullies for statements made on social media is beneficial, it would have many negative consequences. Prosecuting individuals for statements made on the internet would discourage personal responsibility, be a violation of the first amendment, and squander tax payers' money.

Through out my child hood I was referred to as “that girl boy” or a tom-boy. I thought I was just another little boy but it turned out I wasn't. I never knew what was wrong with me until I started to get older and learned terms to identify a person's sexuality and gender.

When surrounded by different groups, one uses various types of ethics. For example when one is surrounded by friends and brothers or sisters one forgets what on was taught by our elders about manners and about being courteous, but when dealing with elders or a superior, certain carefulness is necessary.

We develop many values and ethics through past experiences whether it is a positive or negative experience. These thoughts and beliefs are what guide us through our
