Social Media

Social media has changed over the years but it does not change how we use them. Social media is a form of connections with other people. We often see police brutality happen through social media. Social media has grown so much over the years, because it has not been a big thing until just recently. Social media are usually sites like Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and Instagram. There are many more websites used. They websites all have different meanings and ways that you can use them.

Social media is a new upcoming trend, especially for the generation that we are in now. We are so attached to our phones and with being attached to our phones we begin to be attracted to the social media that comes with it. Phones have gotten better and better the older that we get. We used to have flip phones and not having access to websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Now that we have the access to these websites we are more aware of the things that happen in the world.

 
We see protest more and more and since we have the access to social media more then we have ever had we can build a bias. We see so much talk about police brutality that we think that it happens more frequently than it actually does. And if we do see a side of the story usually it is not all the story and can be framed for a specific audience. Which promotes this constant divide between police and the minority community. Social media can be a good thing, but it can also promote negative things.
