social media magazine 1 | Page 5

When you think of politics, it’s often a controversial topic people generally avoid. I had the idea to shine light on this current election in an optimistic way; within the best way we know how- through social media.

I had this idea when I was reading the paper on a Monday morning commute to work, when I saw two people sitting down next to each other on the Uptown F train, both reading magazines with sad titles. One labeled “The End Is Near”, and the other labeled “Clown for Prez”. It’s a sad world when all we have to say about the current election is negative comments with racism as an aspect involved in our lives within the year of 2016. By shining light on one of the most controversial elections of the century, we can all come together through all platforms of communication to see that we are all in this together.
