Final blog post

The era we are living in is surrounded by social media. The biggest concern is that social media creates polarization. The era we are living in is the era of social media and political activism as a trend. The era of social media is showing that people will support political activism the moment it becomes important to the world. However when time passes it no longer becomes of importance to people. 

A big example of this is the Black Lives Matter movement. The movement was centered around fighting for justice for black people and trying to fight for justice and equality. Once the movement moved to social media it became a trend of political activism for attention without truly caring for the issue at hand which is police brutality in the black community. 

The biggest takeaway from our discussion as a class when we spoke about Black lives matter was that to myself and other classmates of color is that black lives matter is more than a movement it’s the way we live our lives everyday navigating the world. In closing I believe our class discussion opened my eyes to many different perspectives of the world.
