Passive attempts

This week we talked a lot about having your voice heard online. The more I think about this concept the more it annoys me; it seems so passive and safe. Our country is known for taking a stand when groups felt oppressed whether it meant protesting in the streets or doing some sort of demonstration, there were people everywhere willing to put themselves on the line to make a change. Now our generation thinks it’s fine to share their thoughts solely online. I think because my generation grew up with social media we are a more passive group when it comes to taking a physical stand. There are protests here and there but people in this generation feel much more comfortable expressing their distaste for something behind the safety of their computer screen. I just don’t feel like tweeting about something has the same impact a march or protest does.
