The news is dominated by sensationalism and sensationalism is also dominated by the news network. We are getting saturated with media images that are either sensational, or sensationalistic, or both. We are bombarded with images that are either positive or negative, but we are rarely given the opportunity to truly be self aware.
Self-awareness is not the same as empathy or compassion. We are not all the same. We each have different abilities. We each see the world through different eyes. What we see is probably not very important, but it is important that we choose to focus on it. When we don’t, it is easy to get lost in a crowd of stimuli and make a mistake. But if we really focus on the things we see, we can start to see the world different ways.
I recently saw an interview with someone who said that they were a fan of the movie “The Social Network” but wouldn’t watch it because she was too self-conscious of her actions. That person was right. When our actions and our behavior are important to us, we need to be self-aware.
What is that self-awareness? It’s the ability to take in information and decide how to act on it. Our actions and our behavior can be important to us, but they can also be important to us. If we focus on them too much, we can get swallowed up by the crowd of stimuli that surrounds us all the time and it becomes easy to miss out on what makes us us.
The ability to take in information and decide how to act on it is called self-awareness, and it comes in a variety of forms. We can look at ourselves as a person, as a society, or even as an organization. Self-awareness can help us decide if we are making a good decision or a bad one. When people do things that are out of line, they are usually going against the flow.
Activism is one of those things that is easy to miss. It’s a trend, not a trend. It’s so busy that we feel it can’t be happening, and we feel like we can’t find anyone to blame. It’s a trend that we can identify with, but there is a difference between a trend and a trend. A trend is something that people want to act on. A trend is something that people are doing.
We all know that there are a lot of activists out there. There are a lot of activist organizations out there. But when you start looking into them, there are a lot of really bad ones. The bad activist organizations you can point out that have done harm, and the bad activist organization that has been abused, both by good people and bad people.
You see a lot of this on social media. In fact, I think the best way to spot bad activists is to look at the media. What is actually getting passed around? This was a trend that came out of the mainstream media.
Well, the mainstream media is not always the source of bad activism. So there are two categories of activism that do not fit the mold of the mainstream media: good and bad. In the good category, you see an organization that is trying to help the world in some way, and in the bad category, you see an organization that is in reality a tool used to destroy the world.
There’s a third category that doesn’t even get a mention in this news network. An organization that is trying to change the world. Like the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, or Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. They all are trying to change the world by helping people. But you can’t get their perspective without looking at the mainstream media. And that’s what makes the bad activism so dangerous. When you’re trying to change the world, you become a tool of the mainstream media.
