Facebook Rituals and Stereotypes

Facebook is a great way to pass the time while staying in contact with friends and family. There are other aspects to Facebook though. There are many rituals to Facebook such as birthday wishes. Everyone wants to wish you a happy birthday on Facebook or send an e-card to you so that you know they care. It’s become a cheaper more common way to wish everyone a happy birthday. Holidays are another ritual that people like to send out their e-cards and Happy Holiday wishes. The like button and comments are also ritual. If you see something said that you like or feel the need to comment on it gives you the option to voice your opinion or just hit like. This is a great way to keep in contact with each other.

Stereotypes on Facebook are common. It is just like in real life. You have your snobs, the alcoholics, the people who only post about god, people who think their better than everyone else and the people that always have something to say about anything you post. You see this every time you log in to Facebook anymore. A person has tons of pictures of them out drinking tons of beer. You also have people who will never speak to you because your beneath them. There is always someone posting something about God and some people get so upset about that. You always have the person that no matter what you say they are going to argue with you and prove you wrong.

Facebook is like high school all over again. People have no manners and don’t seem to care if they hurt anyone. They say what they want when they want and it’s all about them. I’m bias when it comes to Facebook because I try not to judge people. Although there are times when we all judge someone no matter what the circumstances.
