    Sullivan explained that if you came across this image while scrolling, it likely impacted you for about four seconds before moving on to the next unknown image that was about to roll up on your screen.

    It was part of everyday life, if the subject arised it was not ignored, we were kept up to date on news and when we hadl questions about any subject, we always had an answer, we were encouraged to think critically about subjects being politics, sex or drugs, didn’t matter.
