Living in a Participatory Culture
Social Media has made it possible for people to no longer be “blindly absorbed” by mainstream media. From consumers of news, political and societal opinions, social media users have become “prosumers”—individuals who can easily produce content and voice out opinions through various social media platforms. This movement is known as the “Participatory Culture”. However, as in most cases; an excess of things can cause more problems than solutions. In this age when everyone can pull out a cancel card or call-out someone on what perceives as bad behavior or simply, an error of judgment, there are repercussions that may cause permanent shame to anyone who may get caught in the crosshairs. To be a pro-active and aware member of society, it is important that we justly apply our so-called “weakness” about important issues raging in the world today. To do just that, we must need to learn how to navigate the fine lines that thread the world of participatory culture.
