Does Mark Zuckerburg deserve a Nobel Peace Price for social media?
Taken from an article written by David Simon, creator of The Wire, Treme, MacArthur Genius grant winner-
"America will soon belong to the men and women — white and black and Latino and Asian, Christian and Jew and Muslim and atheist, gay and straight — who can comfortably walk into a room and accept with real comfort the sensation that they are in a world of certain difference, that there are no real majorities, only pluralities and coalitions."
Are pluralities and coalitions a direct result to the increasing popularity of social media, online connectvity, and increased awareness of critical issues? Do they appeal to and enhance our empathetic natures?

However, the potential is there.
Zuckerberg created an awesome platform for positive global awareness and potential change. A world that is becoming increasingly connected (online) has potential for great social change. Seamless sharing of ideas by humans of all colour, creed or kind is surely a good thing. (Albeit cutting through Facebook advertising messages)
Social media is here to stay. Only time will tell if Mr Zuckerberg deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
