Cultural & Social Impact of Social Media
In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss social media's net effect on society domestically and globally with guest Ayman Boukharraz. Social media profoundly impacts culture, beliefs, choices, and nearly every aspect of modern life and is particularly powerful among the youth. Social media built on closed-source algorithms designed to maximize engagement and profitability over health and wellness may significantly contribute to many modern social and cultural problems. It is becoming increasingly known that social media tends to lower self-esteem, lead to many forms of anti-social behavior, and increase social isolation, the exact opposite of what it is branded as. A perpetual state of hyper-consumptive and entertainment may not be our best, and let us hope we have it within our nature to change before we get on the space cruise ship and The Buy n' Large Corporation rues the day.
