Generation: Troll and Meme


Trolling and Reacting over their personal and professional life is called entertainment entertainment and entertainment 


Science and technology have gifted us numerous tools and resources to ease our life leading us to be the generation of light and electricity, or creating unimaginable means of communication in the form of cell phones, computers, televisions, and what not. Another boon of science is social media, which once devised with the thought of connecting people, has been serving the opposite purpose these days. But we human beings have always gone to the extreme level and exploited these resources in a way that they appear to be more of a disadvantage, than being beneficial. Sarcastically we are the generation who has started to survive on  social media; it's as important as oxygen today to survive. We need it for everything, and we need it everywhere. We all connect through it as; our friends use it, advertisers use it, celebrities, retail brands, etc. A data shows out of 7.3 billion world's population, there are 3.17 billion users on internet today. 

Meme is something contained with thought or idea that is expressed through video, picture or phrase that a many of people send and share to each other on the internet which contains analogy to a gene. While, trolling can be defined as creating discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages in an online community. Basically, a social media troller is someone who purposely says something controversial in order to get a rise out of other users. Similarly, trolls create conflict on social media sites by making controversial statements with the purpose of causing havoc, which can be found in almost every corner of the web. They can create problems to individuals, business and the general well-being of some aspects of social media. 

Where meme is a viral idea, that contains analogy and modifies as it spreads. Troll on the other hand is used sarcastically, usually to embarrass or shame. Individually on a sharp note one who likes to troll an individual either intentionally or pointlessly yells and swears and insults them with some or no purpose. Usually spawned by agruements, disagreements, or just hatred. Trolling can also be conducted as a self-entertainment to those trollers by causing a igintion in chat or post in internet. Probably, we started online trolling of celebrities and public figures, has changed tremendously with individual people these days and we are now able to target anyone we prefer through it. To everyone starting and being a part of an online movement may seem to be interesting, yet supporting those trolls without any research or facts??? Isn't it pointless??? Even if something is of serious concern then it can be dealt with through proper channels. Labelling and tagging online goes viral instantly, this not only makes people feel influential, it builds a polarised society too. In such a case, things can only be either perceived as black or white without people realising the fact that much of reality lies in between. From this we can realize that social media is never a dangerous place to be, but our misuse has made it so. 

Even before trolling we don't concern about what impact can one who is being tolled might have? All we need is entertainment, yet we forget while entertaining us we forget to realize our entertainment for minutes can impact someone's personal life and living. We don't even think someone feels insulted that way. Trolling on one's gender! Trolling on their relationship status! Trolling on their looks and thought might not bring casualties to readers yet it does havoc one who is being trolled. It hampers those thinking and living. 

Who are we trolling today? We are trolling those who took a step forward to think differently. Yes, we trolled their confessions! To us their confessions over their gender identity (gay, lesbians, intersexual, transgender) is being a source entertainment. Yet, hardly we recognize how they are facing and to what extent they have actually challanged the rigid social stigma and come infront so that more like them can atleast recognize themselves and stand for their right. And we, the generation support them with our sarcastic meme's and trolls. Somewhere we are victimizing the confessors. Where one is putting her/his best effort to explain and understand themselves; we are trolling them for our entertainment. meme??Who should we troll actually? The one who come up with real identities or the one who laugh over them as a source of entertainment through?? We love reacting over the memes nationality, nationas even politicians have been a part of trolling; in one way may be this can help solving the areas that needs to be improved. Yet, we are trolling each and every sentences of their speech. Even war to us is now a part of our entertainment, all we seek in life is trolls that can entertain us and we can react over.
