Taking a breathe of reality

There are too many people being offended. Matt walsh is correct people need to understand the meaning behind words. People are being offended by things that aren't meant to offend.

People are too sensitive words wise. There are people who like to joke around and go to another level with their jokes that could be offensive. There are also people who like to joke to lighten up the mood which could offend without knowing it, but it doesn't mean any one should be offended.

A woman carrying a heavy box could take offense if a man comes up to her and tells her he'll take it, the woman would insinuate the man doesn't believe she can carry it. If the woman would be offended she would see of the man as a hypocrite, when in reality he was trying to be a gentleman by helping her out. It can be true that women in particular can be more offended then men, even though men do get offended too.

In matt walsh's blog "I'm sorry but it's your fault if you're offended all the time" he argues that our society is the most whiney, sensitive people to exist because of how easily we are offended, he says nobody has ever been so offended as we are. He also argues that if it wasn't intended to offend you, then you shouldn't be offended, it really is true because we sometimes take things to seriously or in the wrong way. 

Nowadays it's all about the who said what but the one thing we don't think about is the why they said it. If someone tells you "you look nice today" that is a compliment we should be taking but the only thing we think about is "you're saying i didn't look nice yesterday. What we dont think about is why he said that, there could be many reasons, but really none of which were meant to offend.  

Shaping our society

Technology is a new way to communicate with other people it has been here for us changing every time to better our communication. Technology is important for our society to evolve.

Some people might say technology is the worst thing because it distracts us from the important things, the true reason for technology is to help people communicate without so much trouble, if someone in New York wants to communicate with someone in California there is no other way to do that without technology because it's a long distance communication calling or texting could be a better solution then spending so much money to travel to California. Technology is soon going to be available for everyone because there is so much going on not just for communication, but technology is also available for internet which can be used to get some work done in school or at work it is always available for everyone.

 I have family all over the united states and Mexico, it's hard to communicate with someone who lives so far away, technology coming into our lives makes it easier to communicate on a daily basis. I know that now that my mother has access to so many kinds of technology it is easier for her to communicate with her Sisters.

In the article How technology shapes our society  they ask to go back ten or twenty years ago and ask how people then do what we do now. People in the business world communicate solemnly by email so what would they have done ten years ago with no internet to communicate with other business people.

technology has allowed countries to communicate without having to travel thousands of miles. It helps the government work together for a better future.we should see technology as the future, what we can create with it is endless.

Our lives in texts

Nowadays use see most teenagers with phones, we always see people texting almost everyday. It seems easier to text but the truth is texting cuts off most of our face to face communication. 

In an AVID weekly article by the name of texting away our best manners and memories, Barbara Shelly argues that by sending a text it might be possible someone could regret it, since it go out so the whole world can see it which could be taken the wrong way by many.

By communicating with someone with words in person they can see the tone and emotions in someone's words. In person someone could say as much as they wanted to talk about, and actually express their feelings, while by text someone could say and express  so much that the person reading the text most likely won't understand the actual meaning behind the text.

Even now eight year olds are having phones or tablets, in my opinion it is worse to have technology at such a young age which causes their attention span to someone talking to be shorter since they're almost always on their phone or tablet.
