Who's in your feed: How our world-view is shaped by who we are following

Jul 14, 2020

Who are you following online? Who has your attention? This may not seem like that big of a deal, but the truth is that we are profoundly impacted by the messages we internalize on a regular basis. Sometimes the effects are so subtle that you don’t realize it until it builds up and hits you all at once.

From body image to current events, you are getting bombarded with hundreds of messages every day and they shape your world-view whether you like it or not.
