Social media has become such a prevalent, almost necessary tool in our lives that many times we fail to recognize the impact that it truly has on our beliefs of our society. Stressing, dramatizing, and hyperbolizing current events instigate false notions of what is actually occurring in our world today because many of us blindly accept what we are presented by the social media and the news. But whose fault is that? In this day and age when drama is the main focus of our attention, the news has adapted to fit our needs and wants. Can we really blame the news for propagating such hyperbolic news in order to reach out to the public? On the other hand, can we blame our society for its abject trust in social media and the news? We have been led to believe that what we are presented with is the truth, but now that the Internet and the news coverage have altered their objectives, is it right to doubt everything?
What world do we live in that we suppress our young people because of our doubts and our insecurities? Who are we to say that our young people cannot accomplish such large feats solely because they are "inexperienced" and young?
