The disinhibition of Tiktok
The online disinhibition effect is a fascinating mentality for the masses known as internet trolls. Online disinhibition effect is “While online, some people self-disclose or act out more frequently or intensely than they would in person. This article explores six factors that interact with each other in creating this online disinhibition effect: dissociative anonymity, invisibility, a synchronicity, solipsistic introjection, dissociative imagination, and minimization of authority. Personality variables also will influence the extent of this disinhibition. Rather than thinking of disinhibition as the revealing of an underlying "true self," we can conceptualize it as a shift to a constellation within self-structure, involving clusters of affect and cognition that differ from the in-person constellation.” (Suler, The online disinhibition effect 2004). I have been subjected to the rhetoric of an unprovoked online disinhibition effect attack but I have never, nor will I ever succumb to it; I am rather fascinated by it. For example, recently, while browsing through TikTok a new genre/style of video was placed into my algorithm and the video showed a man wrapped around another man in a martial arts hold until the police arrived; the hashtags stated kidnapper, lol, comedy, crazy people, travel, New York, tried to kidnap a baby, world star and nyc travel. The video was posted to a channel that had a variety of clip videos of New York City and content from other creators; and as I browsed over the comment section of the video I read much of the arguments occurring online that did not supply additional information. This was not information I was seeking and I was curious about the video; I need to know more.

Stop Cyber Bullying
We live in a world where information is at our fingertips. The world wide web. It is supposed to be the greatest tool of the 21st century. And yet this magic that brings us closer together comes with a cost. It comes with anonymity. This anonymity is a power to those who were once afraid to share their voices. It's the 'Dear Abby' of the 21st century, but instead of using it as a tool to ask for help and advice, many use it as a way to hurt and attack others.

The Waist
The way women are supposed to look—our bodies in particular—changes at the same rate the decades come and go. Our figures go in and out of style like bell bottom jeans or one-piece swimsuits. While a slim silhouette was all the rave in 2002, the year 2016 would gift us with a fad of Brazilian Butt lifts and breast enlargements.

Societal Pressure & Parenting in 2021
Motherhood is a plethora of jobs all in one and the responsibility to do it as perfectly as you can, or your children deal with the consequences of your mistakes. Does that mean every single mistake is going to cause some sort of catastrophic reaction with your child? No, it means your influence will forever be remembered so it’s important to get is right more often than it is to get it wrong. Which is why parents in general burn out. The weight of the world is on our shoulders 100 percent of the time, and no human is capable of being perfect nor do we actually know what we are doing. No one. Not even the societal pressures who claim to know the best method of raising your child.

Why Social Media is so Toxic
When my English teacher said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” I believed her. We were taught that true quality is found not on the surface, but within.

Facebook Made You Look, Again
11/24/2021 The first article I wrote about Facebook was published three years ago. “The Influence of Facebook,” focused on data collection and the algorithms the platform deploys to manipulate its users. Sadly, since then, the situation has only gotten worse. The audacity of Facebook executives is alarming. They continue to claim that users control their own experience while they blatantly manage the reigns to restrict the overall accessibility, availability, and distribution of content to each and every single one of its users.
