Why is it so hard to understand people? Their are so many ways to misjudge people by how they say something. They can come of as rude and sarcastic even if they are just trying to be nice and calm. It's even harder to understand how people are saying something through text or over the internet. Unless it is really obvious that they are upset or unless you really know them and how they talk you will never know how they mean to say something. There have been many times where I have almost gotten into arguements because either I or someone else has translated what was said the wrong way. Communication is taking a toll downwards. The easy access to phones and the internet is not helping at all. There would be less arguements if there wasn't such an easy access to these objects.
I don't understand how there are a million web sites and I can't find exactly what i'm looking for or at least anything close. I have to do an example essay and I can't figure out what exactly it is and what to write about. I have read the chapter in my book multiple times and I have been trying to find out online for the past hour. I can't find it. Maybe im just reading my sources wrong and it is all right in front of me. I am probably making it much harder than it actually is. I have a tendency to do that. I can think of the simplest objects or tasks to do and can't figure out what they are. This should be a no brainer essay but I can't wrap my finger around what exactly it is asking. It makes me mad thinking that everyone else understands what is it and I can't understand for the life of me.
With all of the websites that are easily accessed it can create problems. There are numerous websites where people can get seriously hurt from. Even though you can't get hurt physically over the internet you can get cyber bullied. There are a rare amount of sights that actually have a monitor on what you can and can't say. Facebook for example is one that doesn't. It makes it so easy to pick on someone. You can post anything you want to your wall even if it is about someone else. You can tag the person you are talking about in the post and it will show up on their page and everyone will know exactly who you are talking about where before unless you included their name it was a guessing game. You can send private messages that only that person would see so they would not have any help if things did get out of hand because no one would see it to speak up about anything. You can post nasty comments on pictures that people have posted that can hurt anybody no matter how strong you are. It's becoming a game to see how many others people can hurt. I don't like it. I don't think it is necessary to put it out for the world to see. Many times during an interview for a job the employeer can look up their social network sights and see the pictures they are tagged in or the posts on the wall. There could be a picture that you begged your friend not to put up but then you got in a fight and they uploaded it. That single picture could cost you your dream job. I would never want to destroy someone's dreams so I stay out of all of the drama. Formspring is another example of a sight that could destroy someone. You ask others anonymous questions so people don't know who is asking them. There can be some pretty harsh questions that people have asked just to make someone upset. Most of the times it works. There are so many kids who get cyberbullied and put a stop to it by ending their lives. There is no reason that people should push a kid to commit suicide. You can only bully a person so far until they reach their breaking point. I think that there should be a monitor set in place to control what people are saying on social media sights. There are so many people that can't see the light at the end of the tunnel because they are constantly getting knocked down. It's not the right thing to do. It's becoming a serious problem and nobody is putting a stop to it.
