Do you notice that before chefs bring out a new dish for the world to experience, they run it by some people with sample tastings and to perfect visual appeal? Do people question this? Not at all.
It is encouraged that before it is put out for the world to taste and judge, it is generally approved by some trusted companions to make sure it depicts the chef's experience in the best light. Anything short of that, it would be taken back to the kitchen, improved and sent out again for another trial.
If only social media was like that. People these days are sending out tweets without really being aware of the potential harm (or good) it could cause. They aren't considering the weight of it or the fact that once it is shared with the public, there is no taking it back. Even if deleted, it has been screenshot and seen by followers and that cannot be undone. This is something users should consider with sending potentially easy to misinterpret messages even if it is as a joke. It could ruin someone's career and possibly their life.
Through social media, parents have also exposed their children's humiliation and shortcomings through public shaming. By posting these videos and images online, they are not only destroying their child socially, but psychologically. It makes one wonder if they had done so in the spur of the moment or truly thought about the aftermath of their actions. If they could send out a sample before sending it out to the world to see, it would have likely been flagged and not pursued.
