Nowadays all of us know that the social network
Instagram is one of the social network more famous and used around the world
not only in Spain. Currently, according to data published, Instagram counts with
more than 200 million active users every day. If you contemplate this, you
realise that the vast amount of people that are hooked on social network, more
specifically in Instagram.
Focusing on Instagram, this application is
predominantly used for taking and editing pictures, but due to its high use,
the application added other things like “Instagram Stories” which consists in
posting a video or picture that lasts only one day on your instagram account
and then it is deleted inmediately. Instagram added stickers, IGTV vídeos,
gifs, music and other fun stuff to your posts or videos too. But behind these
there is hidden the darkest part of a false reality.
We have all heard about “Influencers” and
her/his lifestyle, but if not, I´ll say you that this type of people dedicate
to publish all her/his life in her/his instagram account (professional photos,
luxury trips…), and how the word says, they influence everybody who follows him
or her in his/her account.
Most of these “influencers”,generally, promote
luxury clothing and how not, they are people well-being, with money and
who staying at the best and luxury hotels in the world when they travel. This
is the false reality because these people only show their followers what they
want to show, the best things who they have and they do,using most of time
“photoshop” to their pictures. This at the same time is an idealistic/false life.
And here´s the rub, people who follow
them wants to be like them and they obsessed about having their “false” life
and being like them, many times taking their life into risk. People influenced
don’t see this and they are caught up in a world where nothing is what it seems
to be.
According to what you write in this post, I am 100% agree with you. And it is that through the use of this social network the canons of beauty are transmitted, for example, that society says they are the right ones, or luxury lives where it seems that there are no problems. And perhaps, an adult person does not pay attention, but a teenager will pretend to have the body or the life of the famous person that he / she follows and this can harm him / her in his / her life and future.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Nowadays,most people show whatever they want. People usually share the best of their lives and not everything is always true. For example, there are a lot of people from our age that take pictures on the library, and actually they aren't studying.
ReplyDeleteIs more important for them giving a good impression than showing their real life.
