Twitter is great for social and political awareness and it was most prevalent recently
when charges where not brought forward in the killing of Eric Gardner. People
unified around the world because they felt there was an injustice for the
father of six. I saw so many posts about die-ins around the world as a peaceful
protest and hash tags “#justiceforericgardner”. Also NBA players wore shirts
that read “ I can’t breathe” and pictures of the players wearing these shirts
flooded twitter when the likes of LeBron James makes a social statement. I like
that twitter allows for people to come together and express their thoughts. It
was a venting place for some and an organization place for another to schedule
protests and other events related to this event.
