Social media is a huge aspect of my life as it is for many others, and sometimes it can consume us without us even realising. Memes have become a very popular way of communicating with others on all platforms and, in particular, on Facebook.
I want to share a story that I am not proud of, but feel the need to share because it was a simple mistake a lot of people make every day, without realising the impact it may have on others.
A few months ago, a public Facebook page posted a meme of the Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller. They used a photo of him from when he was on the show and a photo since he had finished the show. In one photo it showed him looking muscular and in the other it showed him having put on a bit of weight.
The caption above the two photos said: "When you break out of prison and find out about McDonald's monopoly". When I initially saw this, I have to admit I thought it was a bit funny, along with the hundreds of thousands of other people who liked the photo, but it wasn't actually a laughing matter.
