Pros and Cons of a Less Private World-Lavender
With internet getting more and more public, and people sharing more and more of their life, we are quickly losing our privacy. There are pros and cons for this more public lifestyle, and I came up with three.
Pro: People are seeing sides of each other that may never have come out before. People are braver when they are not seeing someone in person, and will say whatever comes to mind. A person who you thought was your friend may not actually be very good for you.
Con: People could not keep even their most private or embarrassing secrets. This may make people judge them unfairly.
Pro: There are ways to advertise, and make money when you have an audience.
Con: People could take advantage of having an audience to exploit or slander other people. This would be very unfair to the other person, because people would believe the person who slandered them.
Pro: You can show off your talents to people who may never have seen them before, giving you a chance at fame, especially if you are shyer in person.
Con: Health risks! Having your life on display for strangers to judge could, and has, driven people crazy.
