From Heritage to Hashtags: The Impact of Social Media on Cultural Identity

in #hive-1538507 months ago

As time passes by, we are getting addicted to technology and it seems as if we have become slaves of technology. I have seen many people who spend most of their time in their rooms because they have an internet connection. There is an excellent facility, so they do not need to go out anywhere. You know that nowadays everything has become online, so you can do shopping sitting at home and can also order food items online and this is a serious problem in the future. People are getting away from their culture, they do not know anything about their local culture and not about festivals either. There are many people in our office also who do not know about many basic things even though they have been living here since childhood, I feel unfortunate to see this.

It is not that they have lived somewhere else since childhood and have now settled here, they have been here since childhood, their parents also have a lot of involvement in all these things and they should tell their children about their culture and heritage. Nowadays social media has become very influential, you can see that people spend hours on social media and believe me so much time is wasted that people do not even realize it, by the time they realize it, it is too late. Yes, it also has many benefits, the content creators here are getting a lot of benefits, so there is no benefit for them, they are just wasting their time and if you are watching informative content by watching its content, then maybe you will also benefit from it, most of the people are always consuming such content which is completely useless, which we do not even need, but still we are consuming it.

But I have seen that on social media people promote their culture a lot, even though I do not know much about it earlier. Still, after becoming an influencer on social media, they encourage their culture a bit, or it is a good thing as well because if big influencers do this, then it will probably have a big effect on other people of society as well. Still, today's youth has become very ill-mannered and rude, they do not care for anything, they do not have any manners of talking and they do not know anything else, I feel very sad thinking about what the times will be like in the future.

In the coming years, people will completely forget their culture and heritage. It saddens me a lot to see that foreigners coming here are adopting our culture and the people here are giving preference to Western culture. It saddens me a lot. I am not against it, nor am I resentful of it, but still we should respect our culture and we should be proud of our culture. Nowadays, people post on social media about visiting different places and this is the reason why wherever you go, be it a religious place or any beautiful place you are going to visit, there is a lot of crowd. There is a very famous temple near my home, its name is Kainchi Dham, it is famous for Neem Karoli Baba, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg had come here and a few years ago Virat Kohli also came here, since then there has been a fair of people here every year. Still, on weekends it is very crowded, there is no place for local people to sit in the temple, and people from far-off states visit this temple. Most of them have come here just to take videos and photographs on their phones, nowadays nobody cares, they just want to show people that they went to visit this place or have come back after visiting this place, I don't know, the culture has become very strange these days.

Even if people are not happy in his life, they want to show on his social media profile that he is happier and wants to message others about what they miss. That is why I don't like social media and I don't use them too much. Sometimes I do open them to get updates but I don't use them much for those who are not in the habit. To tell you the truth, I even turn off the notifications on all my social media platforms so that I don't get distracted. I believe that we should tell the small children in our homes about agriculture and culture and they should understand things through stories because in such stories, children can understand them easily and they also remember them for a longer time.

That is the truth. Some people use social media to promote their culture, and those culture might not really go well with others.

Some great points here. It is indeed a concern as social media becomes ever more present in people's lives, they are not truly living life, at least not as much as they are claiming to online. It falls back to the mantra, of sorts, that the world is a stage and it is all fake. So true for what we see online - no one wants to admit to living a boring life, no one finds excitement in others posting about going to work, paying bills, and now sitting in their favorite chair enjoying some TV time.

So everyone cooks up these, sometimes very obvious, fake events and posts them to their social media. This leads to others feeling bad about their lives because they don't have an exciting life like people on Instagram, Facebook, etc. So to combat this, they lie about their lives so they seem cool too. It just keeps going.

I was born in 1976, I lived through no cell phones, lackluster rules from parents into the super strict era to the "I must show everyone everything to seem cool. It has been a wild ride and I am somewhat worried about how life will look in the next 20 years, I am sure it will be drastically different than what we see now.

I do know from experience, we let go of the least obvious things first. How many times have you seen kids riding bicycles, playing by the creek, etc? Technology changes us in weird ways, makes natural things seem less natural, unless we see it online then we yearn for those days, but do nothing to make them come back.
