Ego Satisfaction-- an easy way!
Element of show-off is on the rise now-a-days. This boastfully displaying oneself is by the people who are shallow and want that they are held high in the society. For this purpose, they do small things, make those acts public and expect a very wide appreciation.
For the above, technology has made things easy. Such person make video of what they do or achieve and up-load it in social media. Once it is followed by some of their buddies, the video goes viral and thus satisfying their ego.
Good or bad, it is happening. An actor in Karachi, shot a video of a beggar who could speak English, up-loaded, and got job along with perks. The actor also got additional fame. Such act are used in a negative way: a person painted Chief Minister Sindh, Pakistan near lidless gutter and uploaded. Then he put one lid on a gutter, made video and uploaded. These videos were taken up by media, and now he is being invited as social worker in various shows; talking, giving dead-line to govt. etc.
The above openly shows that society values are passing through make and break. This may be a result of flaws in the existing education system and responsibility avoidance by various quarters of the society. This requires a serious thought; the sooner the better otherwise it may spread as an epidemic and goes beyond control.
