[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1181892, member: 74895"] I think some things are much better now while social media as a vehicle has made other things worse. Pre social media, most hate crimes were verbal/physical whereas now people can easily transmit hate digitally which can have a wider reach. Would a Northern Ireland peace deal have been agreed in current times? I'm not so sure. We see very few examples of leaders and people in positions of power putting differences aside, negotiating with a view to finding a common ground for the greater good. It's no wonder people are becoming more and more entrenched. It's reaching the point where you're either woke or far right. Political leaders really don't help when their irresponsible messaging validates a lot of the harmful/extremist views within society. What's the solution? Maybe schools need to start educating kids on how to compromise and be more respectful and accepting of other people's beliefs. [/QUOTE]
