Today on You Are Here we explore admiration in the 21st century. 10 years ago the social media site Facebook launched to the general public. Today most of you probably check your news feed every day, and you're not alone. Last year, about 170 million people joined Facebook, increasingly the total number of users to over 1 billion people worldwide. According to the company, 81 percent of this use comes from outside the US and Canada. You probably remember having to call someone to wish them happy birthday--without a digital, automated reminder, but that’s not the case for kids growing up these days. 

First, we’ll take a look at how Facebook has changed the way society interacts, starting a trend that has made communication faster, briefer and that has exponentially increased the reach of one individual.  

Next, the Arab Spring and Occupy Movement both announced demonstrations on Twitter. And the results garnered attention worldwide. We’ll talk to activist about back-when, and look at the most recent people’s campaign using the Internet in the Ukraine. 

Then, we couldn’t talk about adoration without addressing celebrity.   

Finally, we combine the power of a crowd and cyber admiration. And to do that, reporter Amanda Beland takes you to the newest exhibit of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. 

Admiration in the 21st Century: 50 years of Beatlemania

Admiration in the 21st Century: A rallying cry

This song is for anyone who feels like their voice has been stripped away from them. It is an outcry of the past and a movement towards change. "Freedom" is dedicated to Ukraine—in honor of  the Maidan revolution that took place starting in 2013, to all of those who lost their loved ones we are not giving up. This piece does not represent victory or a battle won, yet it presents a community (human beings) finally coming together as ONE!

~Lyrics~

Verse 1:
Countless atrocities over and over
A land where all have been oppressed
A learned helplessness 
That left the people hopeless

Verse 2:
They’ve been stripped of their voices
And their rights as a people
But never again
Justice will prevail

Chorus: 
With one voice we cry out for salvation
May the truth be heard
Enemies will vanish like the dew in the sun
Peace shall reign once more

Verse 3: 
A revolution has begun, 
We make our stand once and for all
At last, hand in hand, shield by shield

Verse 4:
Do not be afraid of terrors in the night
Souls and bodies we lay down
Fame and glory will resound

Chorus: 
With one voice we cry out for salvation
May the truth be heard
Enemies will vanish like the dew in the sun
Peace shall reign once more

Bridge: 
Freedom (x4 = 3 times)
