One
of the positive things the Media and Social Media has accomplished is waking so many
people up to the fact that they're not insignificant peasants without a
voice and without personal power. One of the negative things the Media
has accomplished is also waking people up to this fact, because it turns
out that quite a lot of people were treating others with civility
because they thought they "HAD TO" or some giant
shame fist would pound them from the sky. Now that they feel
"empowered", they have no "reason" to be respectful toward others,
because they found out they have nothing to fear. Most only treat those
with "respect" who they think might punch them out if they don't, or
those who they want attention and approval from. So instead of adding
goodness to the world, they're increasing the lowest common denominator.
Hope it's a phase...
