Publicity, what a funny word.
1) the notice or attention given to someone or something by the media
2) the giving out of information about a product, person, or company for advertising or promotional purposes.
I'm writing about publicity because it has surfaced in my life pertaining to both of these definitions. The first doesn't necessarily concern media, more-or-less a general audience at school.
My first topic, however odd, is PDA. Public displays of affection. I don't know how exactly I feel about them. I hate seeing them, but then I am hypocritical. Isn't that confusing? I think I wouldn't, if I had less social anxiety, choose to partake in PDA. And I wish other people would not either. Sadly, I do not think my opinion is the majority or important.
Subject two, social media, specifically making public personal affairs. This too is something I am surely hypocritical about–although I am at fault myself for posting on social media about personal affairs, while it bothers me that others do. What is the decency of posting about the affairs of you and another person, usually without the other's consent, only to be viewed and discovered by other irrelevant beings? These unessential people only add their unwanted, unimportant opinion to the conflict!
Am I the only human who sees the idea of publicity in the 21st century is quite odd?
