I…

Its boundaries are unknown, unknowable and new platforms and apps continue to draw us in deeper and take us away from genuine interactions. I believe that social media is crucial for making and maintaining long distance relationships but can be detrimental to…

Support with textual evidence and include your own initial response to the material. Paul blooms starts off with the point that “Empathy distorts our moral judgments in pretty much the same way that prejudice does”. When I first heard this statement I automatically disagreed.
