Messages containing false information or which could lead to the spread of negative cultural values can come in various forms such as via social media, television, video games, and music. It's important that we educate ourselves, our peers and our children on recognizing the authenticity of messages as well as teaching people to think critically when processing new information. Additionally, it’s important for parents and teachers to actively monitor content exposure by setting clear media usage guidelines in order limit unnecessary exposure to potentially harmful material.

Messages containing hateful rhetoric, biased claims, negative religious references, jokes involving deception and sexual harassment, threats of violence and bullying can lead to the spread of false information or negative cultural values. To prevent this from happening it is important to take proactive measures such as verifying the accuracy of information before spreading it and thinking critically before sharing messages online. We also need to be open-minded and use our online voices for good by speaking out against offensive content instead of passively allowing it to spread. Online communities should be safe spaces that foster respectful conversations, support each other's learning and acceptance, encourages collaborations in a healthy way and create positive mental health among members. Educational materials should also be provided that emphasize critical thinking skills with an understanding that the internet isn't just a tool – it's part of our cultural landscape now too.
