Social Psychology Experiment

So I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to this kind of stuff and learning how our brains work and seeing the different viewpoints that everybody has, so when one of my college professors had our class do this, I really really enjoyed it and I thought that it definitely helped get some weight off of my shoulders.

Now this could easily be mistaken as a debate, but it is not, all I ask that you do, is list one (just one) thing that you do not like about society, how people behave, rules, laws, etc, and then follow that up by listing something that you think can help (not necessarily solve) this problem.

I found this experiment a great way to relieve stress and get some of my ideas out there, I will start with an example and hopefully you guys find this thread as enlightening as I hope it turns out to be!

One thing that I do not like is text messaging. Now this is my very very unpopular belief but hear me out. So many things can go wrong when text messaging, people feel so much safer when hiding behind their keyboards that they feel they can say horrible things to other people and get away with no punishment whatsoever. I believe that the easiest solution to this problem is just to have people call each other or have face to face interaction whenever they need to talk, or whenever they need to get something off their chest, it just makes the misinterpretation of texts and everything else 100% less likely.

Just please give this a try, I would love to read what you guys think should be changed! Thank you!
 
Before I read all of that was this from the same professor that told you everything is the color grey?

No don't worry. I addressed him about it and I misquoted him, he said it was a theory not a fact, I apologize. Now try this!
 
Same thing happens on Newschoolers, half of the things people say on here they wouldn't say to someone in person, but thats the culture of today's society and this website

I say everything how it is. Im exactly the same in real life
 
I hate when others judge someone based on their social media profile. Something along the lines of, "Santa only has 150 followers on Instagram what a loser."

a theory that is 100% bs...thats like saying ice is more dense than water.

Im gonna offer some advice to BeeRad. Sit back and listen to what your teachers have to say, understand that they arent always right and your psych teacher is far from the smartest person you know. Dont regurgitate what they say but use the information they present to you to form your own opinions. Thats when you become a much smarter and more critically thinking adult.

I am a class A asshole in real life, but people don't go around telling people to pee into women's butts in public

I disagree, I recently met mccarthy14 in real life because he is going to the same College as I, and he is the same online as he is in real life.
 
I dislike when people ask a yes or no question followed by saying "or no"

I never thought anything of it until I noticed my boss says it all the time and because of him it now irritates me when others do it

I believe I can solve this problem with slapping

No explanation why, just slapping
