When we post our thoughts online, we sometimes tend to speak freely and not see the consequences behind our words. This is fine if we are just posting casually with our friends and family, however, if we are in a professional field where it requires us to be technical and unbiased, then we will have to think about our words before we speak.

As a person who has a multicultural background, I can confidently say that a lot of people can’t understand other people’s thoughts in different cultures. Therefore to avoid conflict on the internet, we need to be cautious as to the words we use, especially when we are public figures. One of the best things to do as a public figure is to not comment on things you don’t know. For example, if I was a physics teacher, I wouldn’t go and comment on politics since I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about. Secondly, make sure to be inclusive with your words and don’t discriminate against any groups of people, the last thing a public figure wants to do is to offend other people on the internet. Make sure to leave a positive image to other people and be a good role model to them.
