Importance of Social Media in Shaping Public Opinion
In this fast paced environment that we often refer to be vigilant, we are slowly crippled by the norms of being social but within the spaces of our touchpad or keyboards. I visualize the scenario where we tend to act as a social human being but how idiotic we look to just be social within a group message or by liking a post that a media site has shared. Comparing the cases beforehand the evolution of social media with the today’s environment of liking and chatting, I am baffled by the result I see. The world of self-image, self-delusion, and self-morality definitely looks favorable and appealing but is it truly what we are? Or is it just what we are trying to be for the society?
I present you a personal example, I resent looking at a newspaper or to even be humble enough to read an informative content, because I have the privilege of just scrolling a social media site and getting information about any particular interest that suits me the most. “Just Google, Don’t be evil isn’t that?” – Google Inc. We see alphabets aligned to form information, but do we actually know what that information is trying to convey or what critical aspects does that statement behold? No, because I believe Social Medias has grinded our personal space of reasoning as well as having critical thoughts about an opinion because the world of social medias are very appealing and falsifying to look upon.
The motto behind these media sites are in the basic theory of making profits that I can be sure of. I have reasoned many cases where some social sites develop false contents just for the favor of being appealing and looking for a profits without the actual idea of being true or informative. For an example some people with ethical greedy vision inflicts a case in the eye of public people with a survey of around 30 people just to make a idea about being true and thus results in the proper misuse of social sites where people tend to believe the facts of social media. “The rule of gold is being implied above the golden rule”.
Social media are very powerful in today’s hustle and bustle, where the people have scarce amount of time to look upon something. The media has made people accessible and connected to the surrounding by the means of Technologies and Communication. Our brain preserves a basic practice of procrastination and laziness thus it enables the optimum use of social media just because of the idea it is easy to access and far less time consuming. It verifies the concept of how much of an impact can these media determine to shape an opinion of the mass. With such potentiality of already being a revolution in the field of communication, social media is some force to reckon with.
Importance of Social Media in Shaping Public Opinion
I forgot to mention some latest trends that we indulge ourselves just to get the pleasure of being so called ethical and trendy human beings, in the context of a vision sketched by some individuals. “Selfie” I definitely look good in this selfie! Don’t I? What a hype this trend rose to get an authorization to be an official word in Cambridge University’s dictionary. The idea of narcissism to just create a false image of being chivalrous is definitely what our mind preserves as key action these days. “Social media is changing the way we communicate and the way we are perceived, both positively and negatively. Every time you post a photo, or update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and personal brand” - Martín. The idea of actually being social is often referred to be insane or creepy these days. We tend not to be included in a public conversation just because we may look creepy but rather scroll down our social medias. There is a funny saying refereed as “ Being humble these days is often mistaken as being a pervert. ” rather be a person who post nice pictures and talks good with no actual social skills. These are the differences that social media has created in context of the public opinion if we are to compare such simple scenario with the scenarios of the past.
The opinion that I spoke above is not because I loathe social media, I actually am an optimistic aficionado of social media, but what I am trying to portray is the huge impact of social media that is shaping our day to day activities in negative biased ways. The term negative bias; is a notion that states negative nature have greater effect on one’s psychological state rather than a positive attribute” - Baumeister, R, 2001 Hence, verifying the opinion of an individual is definitely altered by the notion or hype the social sites develop. I have visualized cases where people are made in false belief leading the word “Destruction” to be “Progress” instead. Destruction of environment for the case of progress is none of a progress for me. I hope it’s the same for you all.
What I am posting today is also an aspect of social media. I do reckon its value, I hope you all individuals also reckon its importance, but here is the difference, If people tend to develop a concept of leading a powerful information with a humble vision and respect of social media by providing a good scripted message, the balance and understanding between human beings and social media are to come at peace, hence obtaining the true goal or insight behind the actual value and vision of the social media. The Social Media is definitely not about the exploitation of Technology but a service to the community.- Mainwaring S., NA Without any adieu and further more description on the importance of social media I hope with a moral attribute to see a much developed understanding between the social media and its targeted individuals cause the fact that one is insignificant without the presence of the other and vice-versa is the major concept that should prevail thus developing a further nourished ideology in between.
