Social media messages

The Media is simply a construct of Carefully crafted decisions that result in numerous solutions that contribute to the ever-growing images of the reality that we live in. In short social media is where we display ourselves in a fashion that doesn't reflect who we really are. 

Social media is really just a way to make something up.

In other words, I guess you could say that majority of social media is fake.

I guess an example can be when someone is called a groomer when there is no factual evidence that points to that claim towards that person.

The social media messages that we see shape our reality and how we see it. The way we perceive reality is based on the attitudes and interpretations that are pre-built on the Internet. We also choose to share the content with other people depending on what we truly see for reality, and not just follow a trend and become cattle.

Social media can be a way to widen our view of the world.

In other words, Social media is a place that we can feel open to share anything and see and hear what we want.

An example could be sharing a TikTok to my friend that is in the military about the Afghanistan retreat to see what he says about it and learn more. Maybe?

Social media caters to different people. It is shown to people that will interpret the information differently by building an understanding of reality that has several individual factors. Factors such as personal needs, or Standpoints on a topic. Even though posting online can fuel these, we don't realize who is looking at the content we produce. As a person, we may look at our post that could be intended to find a love interest but People will sometimes see it as a threat to themselves. Our content can be interpreted by an audience that wasn't meant for them.

The main thing I got from this is that everyone interprets it differently.

In other words, Everyone looks at it differently and some people may or may not agree with that idea. 

An example of this could be differing views don't Trans people needing to tell their partner if they are trans or not, Some people deem it necessary like me while others see it a not needed because they are no longer the gender they previously were.

In a sense, social media Embeds points of view. Social media is a big advertisement of reality by showing us what is right and what is wrong, It shares a message of ideas and consumerism or even that of Gender roles and identity.

An important part of what I thought when stating this in my words was Viewpoints that have been embedded.

In other words, I feel like these are POV's of people that look at it only in that certain way and can't see the bigger picture.

An example can be the debate of if the Covid vaccine is good or bad for you. Both sides will say their points but won't really see each other's views on the subject.
