"The
world is a complex place, and the influence of the media in its representation
and its power of communication and interpretation is a remarkable amplifier of
emotions, and of illusions."
The
world is a complex place with different geographical features and different
phenomena’s, with different human beings spaced along the surface of the Earth,
having different traditions, races, cultures and languages. The human beings
have made the world livable for the themselves, by creating new technologies
and new ways of living. With the advancement of the technology, the media has
been introduced in the world by the human beings as a means of communication
and the media Longley represents that what is going on in the world. The role
of media is very important in the world and in the society nowadays and the
media has ben used widely over the world to communicate with each other, to
know what is going on in the other countries and other regions of the worlds.
This will help you to identify the general trend in the World and what is going
on in the world. Individuals have constantly required a feeling of what their
identity is and a spot to ground that feeling of their personality in at least
one of the establishments or exercises of their lives. (Neale, 2014)
The media produce individuals' feeling of what their identity is and what
others' identity is. There are numerous measurements on which individuals have
a feeling of themselves, a sense of their own character:
·
Politically, individuals exist as residents and
as individuals from an open.
·
Socially, individuals exist as models of social
jobs (fathers, youngsters, instructors, etc.).
·
Culturally, individuals exist as models of
social gatherings (regularly characterized inside semiotic frameworks of
contrasts, for example, Black or White, male or female).
·
Economically, individuals exist as shoppers and
individuals from a group of spectators.
The influence of
media on the people and their emotions and behavior has been significant, media
is more of an illusion sometimes for the people who believe blindly on it
because sometimes fake rumors and news have been spread by the use of the media
and this plays with the emotions of the
people and illustrate the fake side of the people, give an illusion of the
people as a different person. (Grossberg, 2005)
Social
media has widely affected the different people and their behavior as well. The
data or the information from the use of media can be spread by just a single
click and the information is spread across the world. Either the information or
the data that is spread is either a gossip, or a speculation or a news that
might be true or false. All this things have influenced the relationships of
the people and if affects the relationship of the pope in a certain way with
different people. The clashes because of the social media re among the ordinary
people, celebrities, our loved ones and other relationships between the
different people. The media has the enough power to influence, to persuade, to
manipulate, to pressurize the society and the people in a different way and
onto the world in different way and there might be some negative or some
positive effects of the social media on the people and their emotions, their
physical strength and their menta conditions as well.
Most
of the times, controversial videos and news are posted on the media either if
it is factual or not, either if it is reality based or not. Most of the people
use the social media for their personal purposes to harm the people and to take
out their grudges against some people. People are using the social media in a
negative way to post different rumors just to get the revenue from it and to
increase their ratings in the social media. (McNulty, 2018)
The people are
believing so much on the social media that they are believing, what they are
told by the media and they cannot pass any judgement or nay opinion over it and
they cannot question it as well.
Media
is responsible for changing the way, the people think and their views as well.
And by changing their views, social media is manipulating the life of the
people, their careers and give them a spotlight to live their life’s in a
specific or a particular way. And media allows the different human beings to
become rebellious and make them like they should not be.
Media
has influenced the thoughts of the pope as well and has affected the lives of
the people badly. Media has a total control over our emotions and it has given us
illusions about the world and what is going on in the world. Due to the media,
we are unable to recognize that what are our beliefs and what is the truth and
what is fake.
Still
there are some more concerns about the social media and the exposure of the
young generation towards the media and as they are widely affected by the
media. The media has influenced the young generation by changing their
opinions, their point of views, the content and they do not have a proper
balance between their personal life and their social life. Their personality is
distorted and media has also shaped and change the perceptions of the young
ones and the ways they perceive the life. Their way of perception has been
changed by the media, now they perceive the thing in a different way. This
change in their point of views and their perception swill be positive or it
might be dangerously destructive for the young ones a well.
But
still social media has some positive effects and influence the behavior of the people
in a positive way. As it joins the people form all around the world in a single
platform, where the pole belonging to different neighborhoods and different
cultures share their views and interact with each other. It has gathered the
whole world on a single platform. Moreover, the media has changed the
behavioral patterns of the people as well and has discouraged the people and
encouraged them as well to change the functionality of the people and their
overall environment in which the pole prevails. (Shah, 2011)
The
world is a different place that is full of illusions and the magicians has used
the social media as a network, as a magical theme to change the world into a
different place where there are different things as a mystery to look upon. People
has used the social media to magically affect the people by giving illusions
about the world and we perceive the world in a whole different way.
In
the end it is concluded that the social media has influenced the life of the
people and their emotions in a negative as well as in a positive way and the
social media has removed the world boundary and connected the whole world on a
singe platform. Hence, it has also illusioned the world by giving the different
information about the people and the world that might be true or false or that
might be factual or non-factual. A social media is more of an illusion to the
world playing with the emotions of the people.
