What has Facebook created?

Over the debate about if social networking sites (i.e., Facebook. twitter, myspace) are causing young adults to 'cyber bully' the part of the debate that I agree with, is that they do in fact encourage cyber bullying. I believe this is true because not only has Facebook begun to run the modern day world and cause many kinds of dramatic things that wouldn't normally happen it has also created a 'wall' in our society. It is evident that 1 out of every 5 relationship start online. What has happen to chivalry in the world? We have become overrun by technology. Texting has literally replaced hearing human voices and shortened the attention span of students in a classroom, as well as IPods, and other handheld electronic devices. I'm telling you this because with all the technology in this world it gives a chance to be more, courageous, if you will. The things we say and do over texting, IMing, Facebook status post and even twitter updates aren't thing that we would normally say or do in real life thus the creation of cyber bullying. Facebook allows you to send messages post statuses and chat with people. Basically you can say, do, document, and write anything you want. There is no filter that limits comment creating the idea that if somebody is messing with you or your friends you can just hope onto Facebook send them a nasty message or post a status that is clearly posted for them without necessarily stating it. This all demoralizes, puts down, and flat out hurts other students. Don't get me wrong I love my Facebook account but I have had numerous fights over Facebook comments and messages. It’s easy to just write something on Facebook and not think that the world will see it. Therefore they do encourage cyber bullying and it has almost become unavoidable.
