Ethical dilemmas are faced every day- especially on social media. Is it ethical to use profanity on social media? People grow up with a certain view of curse words. They may have grown up with parents that think it is immoral and wrong to use cuss words. Some may have grown up with a religion that makes using profanity against their beliefs. On the other hand, people may have grown up to believe that these are just words; they may see these words as just apart of their daily vocabulary. Profanity has always had a negative view. It is shown as ugly and trashy to curse. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more popular to cuss. It has started to be a form of expression. That leads me into this dilemma on social media. Should people filter their language on certain or all social medias? Should Instagram captions be different than Snapchat captions?
In my opinion, you should express yourself the way you want to. However, employers may follow your social media. You have to be careful who your audience is and know the way they may interpret what you are saying. You should always think before you post, because once your post is out there, you cannot get it back. Do you curse on social media?
