Negative blogs display a certain lack of maturity in society- Natalio Wheatley
According to Wheatley, who was speaking on the radio show Umoja last evening January 19, 2012, negative blogging is indicative of a “certain lack of maturity” in society.
“When I see those negative comments on the online news it displays a certain lack of maturity we have in our society. I am not saying that it is the majority of people who do it but I would certainly like to see a situation where people, even those reading the comments, who go and put positive comments, when you disagree do so politely and with love because we want our brothers and sisters to go in the right direction.
Meanwhile, regular host of the talk show, Cromwell Smith called on the media to use its power to inform the people and unite them for the upliftment of the Territory.
“ I would like to go a little further and ask those online media houses and all the media houses in the Territory to join with us and understand what we are trying to do and use that power, that media power, not to harm our people, not to keep them in ignorance, not to keep them divided, not to keep them in hostility but to move us forward and get us to see the importance of these things and the way we need to think in order for us to be successful as a country. I think they have a major role to play in the advancement and development of the minds of the people of the territory.”
“Brothers and sisters it would be such a great contribution when there is an issue online, or an issue anywhere, to make a contribution to the issue where all of us can benefit, whether you agree or you disagree on the issue.”
Mr. Smith further said that persons views may differ on a particular subject but it was important that the views be shared but in an amicable manner. “Out of all these consideration of views will come the best ideas to advance the country but when you read a comment that simply attacks a person’s personal views or call names or try to vilify another brother and sister you really not making any contribution to the discussion and what you are doing is creating division and hostility, which is negative to the country, negative for us as a people and negative for our advancement.”
