Virtual life on social media
Virtual life on social media with unconscious
Form the statement “Everyone has been shape unconsciously by the social media” I interest in virtual life on social media that people build themselves to be accepted, then I try to focus more on the word “Unconscious” that means something being changing slowly by not knowing is being changed or not knowing it is happened.
I research about slowly changing in daily life then I found this quote.
“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different.” — C.S. Lewis
It can apply with our life that we got shaped unconsciously by the social media and those can create a virtual life (fake on social).
Time is like a moving sidewalk or an escalator. You don’t really notice that you’re moving. It it seem as you using social media every single day, and it influence you in every moment but you didn't know or didn’t notice. Then make me thinking about when people using socail everyday, they slowly got influence from invisible world from others people in there and when they absorb it frequently that can drive them to fake themselves or mold themselves as to be like others or to be admitted which is not their personality.
Subconsciously, we compare ourselves with others. Sometimes, the self-presentations offered on social media can be predominantly false (meant to be “liked” by others).
I think it is linked together between virtual life on social media (faking in invisible world) and unconsciously shaping
I research more about “How the social media effects personal identity” Research has shown that even adults are negatively affected by pornography. In a study, adults who were exposed to nonviolent pornography over the course of six weeks, were more likely to choose violent pornographic content. Young people are highly affected by the values embraced by media. In effect, media offers numerous interpretations of what is beautiful, sexy, attractive, and appropriate. Young people are especially vulnerable to these influences.
I find myself that social media affecting my identity is when I post pictures, Most of the picture I always edited before post on the social, and video stories I always using the filters as well. I think this is because we spending time on the social media morethan in the real world, and this can link with the word unconsciously shaping.
From above research makes me more interest about “Consciousness”, I think apart from the influence that social media can shaped us it can be because of our consciousness from the social world that we spend on everyday. Then I do more research for this background. Consciousness is a byproduct of matter and it cannot exist without brain activity.
