Modern society
today has been vulnerable to the pit of social media. Everyone is hooked by
their white screen as early when they wake up in the morning. They check their
Facebook, Instagram notifications to stay updated. Our life is watched by
everyone daily because of these platforms. We are chained in this kind of
society and it’s hard to pull out.
Social media has
been an escape of reality. That’s why people who aren’t oriented on the effect
of social media in their lives, are not aware but these platforms are slowly
taking their fullest potential in living their life joyfully.
For an instance
in today’s issue, they use social media to destroy someone’s credibility by
posting fake news about them. They post unpleasant information of others. Most
of the time people post their opinion on the social media to the extent that
leads on debate. Like what is happening today in politics every time we open
our phones or laptops, opinions of people fill the comment section. Supporters
of their candidate are justifying politicians as imparting left and right
opinions and sometimes they think their opinion is better result to insult
others.
Their lifestyle is
being affected by what they see on social media, and sometimes it is toxic.
Society today is living in a programmed technology, which many suffers
insecurity of the world’s trend. It is real that the social media opened the
world for everybody to see their life status, but this became insecurity for
others and made their standards high. As if they can do what other people are
able just to show off. It is like scripted that in everything they do they post
it on social media. People’s applause brings them a pile of joy or a distress.
But people are not aware that because of this they are like put in a box that
are fixed to only move in a limited space. They are not capable of being free
and productive on what they do but more of just watching in the fake world of
social media. As this became their habit on watching other’s lifestyle, it
became their standard on what to do within their life. And this is bad for
society.
Social media is
very useful if we know how to use it properly. Social media is very useful to
the community in terms of both national and international information on
politics, economics and many more. But also, self-development is very important
but in this modern society people are being prone to anxiety and depression
because their expectations to life become luxurious more than what they are
really living in their current life status. Because of these they are faking
their selves on social media like they are happy but in reality, they feel
miserable.
So, that is why we must know how to filter the
information that we are receiving on social media. We must not forget the
reality of life but instead use social media to gather information that
inspires us and motivate us to live happily.
The only thing
that social media can help us is to spread awareness, right news, beneficial
ideas that helps community to become better and productive place to live.
