The twentieth century was full of segregation between race and gender, nightmare worthy diseases, unimaginable forms of technology, and monthly pay that could not buy a loaf of bread in today’s world.

Changing these three things depends on one thing, audience.…
There is a racist remark as well, that blacks killed by police officers are more than likely white police officers. This is a false accusation as black and hispanic ethnic groups are more likely to shoot blacks than whites, this is according to the Justice department about the Philadelphia police department. This study was further conducted by the University of Pennsylvania Greg Ridgeway who majors in criminology and the final conclusion to the stats were that a black police officer were 3.3 times more likely to discharge a weapon at a crime scene. After 2015 statistics I can not argue against the point that I think that this is not a controversial topic but a stupid one which has progressively become worse due to social media and media itself.…

Technology brings a lot of advantages such as the easy access of information, entertainment, innovation and creativity, improved lifestyle, and efficiency and productivity. On the contrary, technology is supposed to bridge people together but today, in the society, technology just creates a wall between people instead. It is inevitable nowadays to come across trending topics in Facebook, Twitter or any other social media sites and see people arguing and quarrelling about such trending issue or rumor. Recently, there was this issue about Manny Pacquiao revealing his opinion to the public about his view of same sex marriage and LGBT which became a hot topic in the media that people started bashing Pacquiao and expressing their views contrary…
The article “trial by twitter” written by Ariel Levy really interested me because of the topic it was on. Almost everybody in the twenty-second century is using social media and it plays a big part in most people's everyday life. People use it to share what they are doing or even just to communicate. It is a way for people to connect without there having to be in person interaction. This can sometimes be a good and even sometimes a bad thing.…

In our world today, you cannot go 24 hours without hearing of a problem concerning race, religion, and other forms of injustice.…
