Introduction

Hello future IB all-star! ๐ŸŒŸ This piece is quite interesting, isn't it? It explores the concept of social media and its power to cross boundaries, using the real-world example of Angela Merkel and Anas Modamani. It's like stepping into a virtual world where everyone is connected, yet divided, at the same time. Imagine it like Fortnite, but with memes and political debates.
