We all know major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter — they’re have become our de facto homes. They’ve transformed our perception of politics and even the most recent celebrity news.

Sure, it’s bridged the gap between different regions and made financial matters become simpler, but it’s also meant some people job losses and the inequality between the wealthy and the poor got bigger.
Nations such as China and India have changed the entire global economic system. All of this has brought up big talks about stuff like trade agreements, equitable labor practices, and how countries need to collaborate.
