As someone who uses the internet all the time, memes have taken over. Whether on Facebook or Instagram, you see them everywhere. Are we really judging people off of a picture with a few idiotic words over top of it? It hits a large audience and without proper knowledge you can fall into this trap as well. These memes are ridiculous and are taken out of context and given a whole new false meaning. Immigration has been the recent topic of memes with false meaning behind them. Stop dehumanizing these refuges and get a life!
Physical: People are cropping images and making refuges look bad and dehumanizing the're true character.
Psychological: It makes people think differently about the topic, in this case refugees.
Social- These images are shared all over social media and people depict what they want from it, from taking it in the wrong context to actually understanding that its complete BS.
Cultural- It plays a huge part in a cultural aspect because these are people from different countries, not just people but refugees. There is so much more to a story behind one picture.
Temporal- Refugees have an affect on the world, because it is a trending topic right now in world news.
I find it really fascinating that picture messages have taken the Internet by storm, because I normally just ignore things like that. These messages usually provide a short message, and take material out of context, or provide no further data to the viewer.
