Anonymity
I think when people are anonymous, they don't feel the pressure of having to watch what they say because people are not watching and judging their every move. It gives people a sense of comfort and it opens up to a more truthful way of thinking for them. For example when some people are talking about an issue and are not anonymous, they are scared of the feedback they may get. However, when anonymous there is a whole different platform for them to speak. They can speak on a subject that they were once afraid of being criticized for. I know that anonymity can lead to negativity, I believe that it can also lead to positive and uplifting things.

I think this safety net given to people is important due to that comfort, like you mentioned, but do you think there is any way to help persuade people to not use it in such a negative way?
ReplyDeleteI see where your coming from but at the same time i feel that people are more subject to saying rude things for laughs rather than compliment someone with the result of gaining no attention other than from the person who posted their thoughts. People are only afraid to give their opinions and thoughts on matters because of all the negative souls anonymity brings
ReplyDeleteI agree with you totally. I think when people have the comfort of being anonymous it gives them that extra push to express their feelings.
