YOUNG PEOPLE & YOUR IDENTITY IN A GLOBAL DIGITALISED WORLD
written: abdulrahman almamari
As young people today grow up in a world saturated with digital media, how does it affect their sense of self and others? Digital technologies have profoundly changed childhood and adolescence. The internet and the means to access it, such as tablets and smartphones, along with social media platforms and messaging apps, have become integral to the lives of youth around the world. They have transformed their education and learning, the way they make and maintain friendships, how they spend their leisure time, and their engagement with wider society.
every time you post to social media you may be revealing more about yourself than you realize But people in the virtual world are often different from what they actually are. They are seeking in the virtual world to reach perfection where the intellectual personality and the beautiful images and everything is beautiful and neat in contrast to reality.
One of the beautiful stories is that a woman when she saw her husband's account on Facebook wished she were her husband This is proof that websites create a false personality for someone different from the truth.
It is worth mentioning that the categories that do not have an independent personality such as children can be affected by digital life a lot and make them a character is independent and weak or may be based on the wrong basis
i can provide a few recommendations like there should be less violence shown on the media also people should limit their exposure to negative media also the children should be protected from the violent media as they are much more sensitive to it. We should use the advantages of media more like the gain of knowledge and information.
