Introduction

Are we hiding behind selfies and negative social media behaviour instead of promoting human interaction and kindness?

Social Media has now made it OK to laugh at the expense of others and to hid behind comments that would not be welcome in offices, schools, religious settings, and most public establishments.

Why do we feel the urge or need to spew hatred behind closed doors?

Definition Of Humanity

“The term ‘humanities’ includes, but is not limited to, the study and interpretation of the following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism and theory of the arts; those aspects of social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.”

National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act, 1965, as amended (the U. S. Congressional Act that created the National Endowment for the Humanities)

Definition Of Social Media

Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. Websites and applications dedicated to forums, microblogging, social networking, social bookmarking, social curation, and wikis are among the different types of social media.

Did You Know That Your Social Media Has the Power to End Human Rights Abuses?

Amnesty International is asking activists from all around the world to use their social media channels for human rights.
