Spread Positivity Through Social Proof

The more bad or negative news you share on your social media page or newspaper, the more people will be influenced to do the same. A study conducted by the sociologists David Phillips talked about the weather effect and another research shared by Cialdini in his book "Influence" examined the impact of social proof on our daily lives. Both revealed that the more social media pages or newspapers share news about suicides, murders, school shooting or even car accidents and plane accidents the more the number of such events will increase. For example if someone who is thinking to murder some one or suicide then sees in the newspapers or social media someone has been murdered or killed themselves, this will give them some sort of motivation to do the same, mainly because someone else already did it ((social proof))

So maybe for once STOP SHARING NEGATIVE NEWS and start sharing HAPPY AND POSITIVE news, Maybe just May be this world could become a better place....
