The Battle For Public Opinion

 

The Battle For Public Opinion

The internet has become a primary location for heated political, as well as moral debates. This has a few benefits in so far as more people are able to be exposed to conversations involving ethics, and more voices can be represented than in print media. I do however find that the internet can create paces that are confusing, hostile, and which have the effect of isolating the readers that interact with it. This was the case, I believe, with the #meToo movement. While I agree with many of this movement's motivations, I think it ultimately left a lot of people frustrated and confused because the internet is not always the most efficient space for intimate, complex conversations. With that being said, I believe the internet will continue to be at the center of many of these ethical conversations and movements as time goes on.
