1. A meme showing a jar with a red and and a black ant at the bottom facing off and on the jar an excerpt from author Kurt Vonnegut’s “Cat’s Cradle.” IF YOU PUT BLACK ANTS AND RED ANTS IN A JAR, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. BUT IF YOU SHAKE THE JAR HARD, THEY WILL START KILLING EACH OTHER. THE RED ANTS WILL CONSIDER THE BLACK ANTS THEIR ENEMIES, AND THE BLACK ANTS WILL CONSIDER THE RED ANTS THEIR ENEMIES. THE REAL ENEMY IS THE ONE WHO SHAKES THE JAR. THE SAME THING HAPPENS IN SOCIETY. BEFORE WE ATTACK EACH OTHER, WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT WHO IS SHAKING THE JAR!
