Are we really free?
Have you ever realized how everything has turned from the past to now? You can't get away with doing anything because it ends up in social media, but then again social media has its pros and cons because it let many people learn more about the world that is out there and not just in your city. That is if you use it for education purposes, if you use it to go online and talk smack about other people or to just talk to your friends about your boyfriend talking to another girl you're obviously not learning anything.
The pros that we have thanks to social media we can show police brutality and how they take advantage of their job which is why people are so informed about protest because of the news but unless if it's a peaceful protest then obviously they won't cover it, I don't understand why we can't live in a peaceful world everything has to lead to violence maybe because it just catches our attention seeing somebody die but never helping them live instead they'll comment saying #SaveHim on their facebook or twitter post, a person life should not be cried about over the social media.
Many people can say our generation is advanced and I can sort of agree with it thanks to all the electronics but why isn't the rest of the world advanced with us? The USA isn't as advanced as you think if you go to Europe and China and look at their trains they don't look like the ones here they're mostly running through electric rails and the trains themselves look much nicer than ours, Another thing would have to be in America why do we not have free education? How can we be called the land of the free or the land of opportunity if we can't even get educated? Countries like Germany, Finland, and Norway. A student's union in Norway said "changing their free-education policy would be discriminatory, given that Norway is hailed worldwide as custodians of human rights and free education" wouldn't it be great if the United States was like these countries? For example if they began to think of Education as a basic human right? if anything the cost of education in America has risen even more which means its harder to get into a school because of money problems.
If getting information is that easy why haven't the people in the United States reacted to this? If were advanced why are we still living with laws from the past that affect us today? And that's why I ask myself everyday are we really free?
