Passage A

Online platforms have changed our incentives for sharing - they compete for our attention, so their algorthms are primed tottoo promote the content we are most likely to ckick __(21)__ wher it benefts us as individuals or a community. People are more likely to share things that elicit moral emotins like outrage. As a result, our "outrage bar" cones to move frmly up as our feodssisd become saturated by egregious stories. We become numb to tragedies because we are unable to process the emotions they enger. at the speed __(22)__ which they arise. As Yale Professor Molly Crockett said,"Just as a habitual snacker eats without feelingnn hungry, a habitual online shamer might express outrage without actually feeling outraged." may also discover that, just as wenting anger begets anger, __(23)__ outrage leads us to feel the emotion more deeply and consistently. Netther of these chanssss is good for humans.

In this new climate, it is unclear to what ends we share all someone has violated a moral norm in your comnity if can be challenging to __(24)__ him in person. Online, however, it's a different story. It's offe case that the person you shame "publichy" via social media will never see the crism at all.

Or as Crockett says: "Shaming a stranger on a deserted is far riskier than __(26)__ a a witer mob of thoussands."One of chief reasons we deary the actions of ofhers digally our own reputational bene:ft - so those mindod people will like us even more. According to Crockett: "While offine punishment signalssss your virtue only to whoever might be watching, doing so online instamly __(27)__ your character to your entire social network and beyond." For instance, when we post #metoo on Faccbook, we are advertsing that we agree that __(28)__ and and abuse are reprehensible.
