Class Discussion

Social media only shows us the product, not the process, it does not show us growing fruit, it

shows shiny fruit that has already been harvested. I believe social media plays a huge role in

our mentality. If you open up your app from you bed after working a 12 hour shift, and see

someone going on trips to Dubai, riding in there AMG Mercedes it will frustrate you, no matter

your age. I believe the biggest problem lies with competition with each other. Yes competition is

good, but at what cost. When is it healthy to open an app to see what others are doing before

you know what you are doing on the day? When has it become ok, to post pictures just to get

validation from strangers, instead of sharing it with your loved ones?

Social Media is "highlight media" no one shows off their job application that got rejected. No one

goes on the internet to broadcast them failing at their latest venture. As a consumer we dont see

the struggle, we only see the glory, this creates a huge social dynamic that we have to be doing

something.
