Published: March 10, 2023 | Updated: March 10, 2023
Actor James McAvoy has shared his thoughts on the state of modern society, expressing concern over the proliferation of extreme opinions and the challenges of navigating the complexities of online discourse.
In a recent interview with the BBC, McAvoy warned that the ease of accessibility to information and social media platforms has created an environment where extreme opinions are perpetuated and amplified.
"You can’t just switch it off, you know," McAvoy said. "You can’t just say, ‘I don’t want to hear that.’ Because it’s always there, it’s always lurking, it’s always waiting to pounce and grab your attention."
McAvoy, known for his roles in films such as "X-Men: First Class" and "Split," emphasized the need for individuals to develop a sense of empathy and critical thinking in order to cut through the noise and differentiate between fact and fiction.
"It’s about understanding where people are coming from and trying to find common ground," McAvoy stated. "It’s about being open to hearing people’s perspectives, even if you don’t agree with them. And it’s about being willing to challenge your own assumptions and biases."
The actor’s remarks come at a time when social media platforms are under increasing scrutiny for their role in spreading misinformation and divisive rhetoric. McAvoy’s comments serve as a reminder of the importance of responsible online behavior and the need for individuals to critically evaluate the information they consume.
