Self expression & Social Networking Sites
I was at the Seminar yesterday and there the topic of Social networking was discussed at length. Many aspects were discussed but the thought (put across by one of the speakers) which awakened me was how carelessly people respond on these social networking sites. What we write or express can create a huge impact on the image and emotional stability of a person at the receiving end, but who cares! We just express spontaneously without much realization.
Words we use are like sword, it can be used either to defeat somebody or to save our own life! Here when we respond we are playing with the emotion of a person, it can create both positive and negative impact on the receiver/reader/follower. Just because we cannot see the person’s reaction does not get the ticket to express anything we feel like or what comes in our mind.
Many a times our responses to quiet a few issues depend upon our emotional status at that time.
With changing life style now, people are becoming more and more dependent on these social media for self-expression. It definitely helps people to come out of their loneliness and brings the world closer but at the same time what we need to remember is that it involves humans!!
Mahatma Gandhi had said, “The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience.”
