Facebook issues
I am an ardent Facebook user, however it irritates me when I see people post on Facebook their issues relating to the Government system and swearing at other people.
I don't understand why people are using Facebook as a platform to write about the issues relating to the nation and in particular, politics. Facebook is a means of communicating with your friends and family, of course posting pictures, so that your family and friends can view them.
But, I personally believe that today, people have taken Facebook to a different level.
And these issues are:
1. Swearing at people you don't like, for instance politicians or people who support a political party. If you have an issue, report it to the relevant authorities. Will swearing solve the problem?
2. Making negative remarks on different forms of media (television, newspaper, etc). Everyone is entitled to their opinions!
3. Posting the very personal life of yours. (The reasons of being sad) Well, who wants to know? Maybe this is the reason why people get involved in cyber bullying.
4. Mixing politics with religion. We are in the 21st century and everyone is equal regardless of age, gender, religion and background. Yes, we do follow different religious beliefs, but as a human being we do have a responsibility and a role to perform towards others, and that is to 'respect'. By writing negatively about others and your country only makes you a person to look down upon.
No country is perfect but every country can be peaceful, if the people living in it make it peaceful.
What better platform is there to raise your issues?
Writing letters to the editor will be a remarkable platform to use and improve your writing and language skills.
As we know, literature and language has begun to deteriorate in our country.
Writing can just be a method to improve it. Writing on social media platforms has only encouraged people to write in abbreviations and shorthand.
So, as a youth, I would personally encourage people to not make Facebook a platform to swear and write negative comments about other people or the Government itself. Herleen Emily will receive a Kambrook 8 cup rice express cooker
