#FirstWorldProbs
First World Problems are frustrations and complaints that are experienced only from wealthy people in rich countries. This hashtag is typically used as a way to make a joke out of unimportant inconveniences. At first, this hashtag seemed kind of funny, I've seen complaints that I personally have also experienced. But if you look further into it some people may be very offended by it. The first world is a term associated with already developed countries whereas the third world is associated with countries that suffer from poverty and are underdeveloped. To me this hashtag is a harmless joke but some would argue that is shouldn't be used on the internet as it is not correct because the third world doesn't really exist any more.
#bringbackourgirls
#bringbackourgirls was first used in April 2014 after nearly 300 girls were kidnapped from their school in Nigeria. They were kidnapped by an Islamist militant group that opposes Western culture including the education of women. The hashtag is used on multiple social media sites including twitter, instagram and tumblr and has spread around the world generating global attention. Many people and organizations have spoken out using #bringbackourgirls including Michelle Obama and the Malala Fund which focuses on girls' right to education.


The creation of this hashtag has created international awareness and united the movement to save and bring home the girls. One organizer reported that the hashtag has been tweeted more than 3 million times. Hashtags can play an important part in spreading news around the world and usually cause some type of response. The United States announced that they were deploying a 200-person military enforcement delegation to help in the search. Some of the girls have escaped but around 200 are still missing. #bringbackourgirls continues to be used around the world as the campaign to save the girls grows larger.

#100happydays
Hashtags
#100happydays is way for people to share with the world one thing everyday that makes them happy. It can be anything from food to a beautiful day. The website that I looked at believes that "while the speed of life increases" people have less time to appreciate and enjoy everyday life. Apparently 71% of people who failed to complete the challenge claimed to not have enough time. Does this mean they do not have enough time to be happy? However people who have successfully completed the challenge are in a better mood, have become more optimistic, and they begin to notice the little things that make them happy everyday!
"Even when the challenge is over the collected 100 happy moments can always remind you about the beauty of your life. For that, you can receive a little 100 page book with your 100 happy days at the finish line of the challenge."
Ultimately those of you who are interested in trying this out check out this website:

#whiteboyproblems
#whiteboyproblems
In response to racial problems thorough out the world #whiteboyproblems was created. The purpose of #whiteboyproblems is to out line the struggles and prove that not everything is perfect in the life of an average white male. While researching into the topic I found that many of these white boy problems involve our typical "mid life crisis" that wouldn't seem like such a big deal in 3 or 2 world countries such as sevear sunburns since our white pasty skin is more prone to burn then other races, the inability to talk to women implying most white guys are nervous around the opposite sex, and just nuisance of our every day life such as going to the frig because your hungry but just walking away because there is nothing you like in it or your mom going to the grocery store and not bringing home the one thing you ask for. These are problems that are just meant to be taken as a joke and not to be taken seriously.These white boy problems can be verified by many post found all over social media such as face book or twitter.
