HOW TWITTER IS AFFECTING CIVILITY
Technological advancements have brought advantages coupled with disadvantages in the world and, more so in American society, were viewed as the epicenter of technology in the broader Western counties and continent at large. The way people interact has changed with the growing use of cell phones, tablets, and computers. Twitter has changed the way people communicate and view issues may it be political, economic, or social issues. Today it is almost sure that people, especially the elite group and political leaders, take the government into account through twitter handles in America, and in doing so, civility gets diminished when they start exchange words in an unprecedented manner.
First, the advancement of technology and people reacting and relating to issues, there has been an increased use of vulgar language among the politicians and the prominent. One would launch a scathing attack on the one they view as an opponent through twitter hashtags. The other one may begin revenge on the same and may work for either side. One wins an election as we have seen in the history of politics in America, starting from Thomas Jefferson before twitter in the 1800 century to now the current president Donald Trump. Political rhetoric by our leaders acts as a bad example of our new generation. Political rhetoric is almost the epic of uncivility, where they spat everything they think at that time.
Overall, when we are exposed to this political rhetoric by our leaders, we start to see it as a good behavior as a young generation and practice the same. We start becoming an uncivilized society where the morals and values of our forefathers erased. Civility is negatively affected by political rhetoric by our political leaders and media on twitter in America and also across the world.
