I believe that one thing in culture that needs to be critiqued is the use of social media in society. Social media is beginning to take young teens out of the norms of everyday life. Kids on social media are bullied and criticized. Teens are stuck staring at their phones constantly. It gets in the way of people or kids doing homework, or doing work at all.
