People today are able to utilize the internet and online communities to create and participate in so many different areas and in the political arena like never before. And this participation is not limited to adults or people in the political arena but is used by people of different ages and cultures. People can now use the internet and the variety of communities they offer to post their opinions and their views for everyone to view and from which to learn. These political views and opinions can be expressed through the MEME's, texts, messages, photos, and videos that can be viewed through many online venues.
And people of all ages can add to the opinion of others and participate in the transmission of that opinion and build upon it to spread their message to all areas of the world. These such political entrepreneurs' can create a network with a goal and start gathering like-minded individuals to join them in their pursuit of their goals. And together they can construct their ideas and their platforms to get their views across to everyone.
But with this ability to express our opinions and to gather like-minded people who agree with us. Also comes the danger of exposing ourselves and our beliefs in an area where people who disagree can target those expressionists' and antagonize them without fear of repercussions. This ability to judge others online without fear of consequences leads those expressing themselves open to bullying and harassment which is not what they were looking for when they decide to express themselves for the benefit of the world and its people. But we have to face the fact that when you make yourself available to make a change in the world by participating in it and with others to promote your cause and express your views whether they be political or not we are ourselves at the mercy of those who feel alike and differently for better or worse.
