Five thoughts, ideas, insights, or quotes to power up your mind to think differently and creatively about life and who we are. Put all previous thinking away and open up a brand new world of the Supermind. YOUR SuperMind.
This week – Abuse.
Modern society seems full of abuse. Abuse in all forms online and offline, virtual and in real life. It’s a growing trend. So much so that it’s this week’s feature on SuperMind Saturday. Open your SuperMind and see if we can end the abuse.
- Abuse began it’s steady spread in society on social media. Feeling protected behind an often nameless or fake account, abusers feel they can say anything they want. Few rarely end up in courts. How do we compel social media platforms to permanently ban such users or report them to official crime authorities? How can online abuse be ended?
- The well known phrase says, ‘The time should fit the crime’. It means prison or some fine should match the seriousness of the offence. So how can we do this with abuse online? Inform the abusers employers or stop benefits or issue some warning that means automatic jail on a second offence? What is the best way to make abusers pay?
- Abuse online occurs because people can buy many hundreds of different email addresses so they have countless accounts. Technology could be used to ensure only one email address per person or similar to be able to trace the offenders. How can technology be more utilised to prevent or rid us of online abuse?
- Abuse of all types though is growing. Violence has become widespread across the everyday world. To solve this we need to understand why. We need to stop it existing in the years ahead this way. What reason(s) would you attribute to so many people turning abusive over the last decade? Is there a sensible common sense approach that could rid us of this in the next decade?
- On the surface abuse appears to be an everyday occurrence. From drivers making gestures and throwing out swearing at other road users to anger expressed easily by the public in any situation on the street/in shops etc. Previously non-abusive people now the other way round. Where will this go? What next if we don’t change very quickly who we are as humans? What factor will alter this from descending further?
That’s another SuperMind Saturday for your mind powers to work on. Thank you for being here for the SuperMind time.
