The Culture of Cynicism on the Internet

The internet reflects human behavior, with cynicism being a mirror of society. Cynical attitudes online stem from the absence of real-life consequences. Social media exposes true human nature, leading to a renaissance of meaningful conversations. While negativity exists online, mainstream media also portrays significant negativity. Banning social media would not solve the cynicism issue, as humans would find other outlets to express negative thoughts. Social media provides a platform for discussing once-private thoughts, contributing to an overall happier world compared to historical dark periods. Understanding history reveals that social media would reflect the tumult if it existed during times like World War II.
