“FilBulAlienRace”: Within our initiatives

I can say that in our present generation, we are stucked with the major problems and
issues that cannot be resolved easier. And sometimes these problems resulted in major frustations
and other people cannot take control. These factors can increase the burden that the other have in
connection with these problems. One of these problems that the new generaration suffered are
the notorious Filter Bubble, the hot-issued alienation of labor, and the “old but still gold” kind of
problem, the racial justice(or simply called racism). All of these three contributes to the problems
that the humans that are still doing their best to resolve these problems. But honestly, whatever
the effort has put to finding solutions, others will still find this as a joke and not a necessary
things to be focused.

Internet is so useful nowadays. And majority of the people in this world have access to it,
and so on the websites too. All of us will agree that the Internet has helped us in living in our
daily lives, especially in this era when all of the transactions are done online, majors news and
information are posted online and the entertainment has spread online. The Internet has helped us
in many things, but it has also bad effects on us and can affect our everyday lifestyle. One of
issues is the Filter Bubble, where you are stuck in that online world that you are accustomed with
and because of that you cannot enter into another online world. All of us have their own filter
bubble and for me, its not bad to have that. But you should also explore the other possibilities in
the other world of online information and entertainment and not to stick with the online world
that you had accustomed of. In short, you should not be a mouse. As a modern day person who
relies on the importance of the Internet, you should also be open to the other worlds of online
information spreading and enjoyment. Because the time will come and you will be satiated of
your accustomed filter bubble and you will another. But the truth is, other people are afraid of
exploring and entering to other worlds of online community. It’s because they are afraid or
hesitated to try something or they don’t want to get out of their comfort zone.

Alienation of labor is one of the lowkey but major issues that until now can’t be resolved
by humanity. Since the early days of industrialization, alienation is very common on most
companies and factories. The workers are important in the industrialization, given that most of
them are hardworking, but there are times that these workers don’t have time in caring for
themselves because all of the times they have focused their self and body in creating and
working for the product. And the worse is, the employers of these workers and the owners of
these companies do not care about the workers and what they are feeling. Instead, they are more
focused on earning and growing their profits. The previous issue is also the same with the racial
justice where the other races that are considered the lowest of all races (ex. Asians, Africans,

Black Americans etc.) are deprived of their rights to their respective places that they live. And
the worse is they are being abused by the so-called superior races. Also, they are also important
in the society and should be respected by everyone because they also play an important role in
this world, to make the world a better place. And the same with the workers that are alienated,
they have also feelings that needs to be heard. In these two issues, the possible solution that the
humanity should do is to listen to their voices and help them.

In all of these problems, I believed that there should be a solution. But how will be the
solution be executed? It should start to ourselves. These will not be realized without our own
initiative. The action should start to ourselves.
