Significance of social media in today’s life

By Bhaskar Das

 

Social media such as facebook, orkut, twitter, instagram, word press etc. are based upon computers and internet connectivity. This media has developed and spread in recent years in the entire world at an amazing speed. People engaged in social media are experiencing a virtual world. Here a person shares his or her personal details, likings, disliking and emotions with a number of other persons known, slightly known or stranger. The exchange is global.

Positive impact of social media

Social media platforms have made it easier to remain in touch with a large number of persons at a relatively lower cost and higher efficiency. The social media has given shape to a global virtual world. Without coming into actual physical contact one talk to another person on videos on the screen of the mobile set or laptop. Social media may substantially contribute towards social revolution. The anti-corruption crusade led by Anna Hazare became extremely popular mostly through the platform of social media. For many business social media is strong tool for business promotion and marketing. Quality content, products and services are easily accessible online today. Before buying a product or service customers can read the reviews and feedback and hence make a smart choice. Social media helps to get the news and happenings in just a click. Social media can create awareness and many noble causes run by NGOs and other social welfare societies and also fight crime. It also helps the students to nourish their knowledge with a lot of teaching aids available online.

Negative impact of social media

One aspect of social media is the individual freedom of expression which is unchecked and without any well defined rules and regulations. Thus the media can be used as a formidable propaganda tool. It may be used to motivate people to accept views which are communally offensive, vulgar and in many instances violent. A number of terrorist organisations round the world are exploiting the social media to propagate their views and to motivate the young minds to take to violence against a section of the society. A person getting bullied and abused on social media through messages may feel helpless. Another form of offence in social media is the posting of derogatory remarks about individuals and posting of obscene photographs and videos, real or morphed. Posting of derogatory pictures of famous personalities like Shivaji and Bal Thackeray, offensive remarks on religious leaders and religious practices, the hate speeches and videos shared through social media are the harbingers of social disturbances ,communal disharmony and terrorism in various parts of the world. A case in point is the video of a tiger in a Delhi Zoo lynching a helpless man who had accidentally fallen down into campus and in front of clicking cameras. A similar case is the slitting of throats of the victims by terrorists in vivid videos. There are crimes like identity theft and bank details theft that can harm any individual. Prolonged use of social media by young people causes to lose focus on studies. Honeytrap and MMS porn are the most caused fraud online. In India celebrities are treated as God like stature by their fans but sometimes their tweet creates horrendous situations just like actor Salman Khan’s twit that he is tired after fighting shooting scene like a raped woman. This kind of mindset of influential people diminishing the stature of women in our society.

Despite having many side effects, the growth of social media is irreversible. It is desirable that the users of the social media services should be responsible about their own duties. Everybody should desist from the misuse of these services. Social media which knows no caste, creed, colour, social status or geographical boundaries is really exciting and a great discovery of the present century. It should be utilized for the upliftment of the human society not its downfall.

Significance of social media in today’s life

By Parashar Talukdar

 

Introduction – Man, by nature, is a social animal. Since time immemorial, man likes to form groups and bands. With the passage of time, our lifestyle changed. But this social nature is present. In this age of 4G, man creates several platforms of social gatherings and one such platform is social median. Social media like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp etc. become a part of us now.

Historical background -The credit of creating first ever social media goes to Dave Woolley and Douglas Brown when they created Talkomomatic, a multi-user chatroom. In 1980s, Bulletin Board System (BBS) emerges as a popular form of Social site. SixDegree.com became the first ever social media in 1997. The popular forms social media like Facebook and Youtube was launched in 2004 and 2005 respectively.

Merits of Social media – Social media have multi folded benefits. It is a powerful tool that creates public opinion. Someone aptly said, “The power of social media is that it forces necessary changes”. In 2010, the autocratic regime of the Middle-East was challenged, known as the Arab-Spring’, by massive public opinion created through social media. It creates awareness about several issues. These forms of media advocate the right of common man. We can still remember how a strong public opinion was created during the Nirbhaya Gang rape case in 2012 which forced the Government to pass stringent legislation against such heinous crime.

Secondly, social media used for business purpose. Some sites like Linked-in are a great resource for business owners to find new talents. It is also used for free business promotion. About 78% of small businesses all over the world trust in social media to validate the authenticity of their product. Thirdly, it is social media which has transformed our planet to a global-village. With the ease of communication, a son sitting in some corner of this planet can keep in touch with his sick mother. Since the connectivity is cheap, he no longer worries for money.

Fourthly, social media is also helpful for politicians where they can spread the party’s agenda before the election.

Lastly, social media is especially helpful for students to collect news and views. It is also good means of passing our leisure.

Demerits of social media – Social media also have some demerits like it makes the users lazy, obese, depressed and self-centered. Social media can also spread rumours as in Karbi-anglong lynch mob case when two Assamese youths were killed suspected of being kidnappers. Sometimes it spreads religious hatred leading to clash of different religions. Trolling and abusing or harassing women are also seen in social media.

Way Ahead – To restrict the misuse of social media, Government should take some measures. The implementation aspects of Section 79 of IT Act, 2000 should be strengthened. Moreover, there should be a strict cyber security system which will ensure anti-hacking and non-misuses of social media.

Conclusion– Although the Government is trying to regulate the social media, it is not only desirable but also tough. We, the users, should behave responsively for making Social media self-regulatory in itself.

Significance of social media in today’s life

By Preety Pandey

 

Human beings are social animals by nature .They live in a social world and possess an inherent tendency to socialize with other human beings. Social media is just another means to satisfy this need of man. Social media basically means any human communication or information sharing on internet that occurs through the medium of computers, tablets or mobile phones. There are numerous websites, apps etc that has made it possible. Today, social media is considered as one of the fastest means of communication. It has revolutionized the way people interact.

 

The significance of social media is immense in almost all spheres of life. Some of the important ones can be summed up as follows:

Social significance: Social media has helped to virtually unite people otherwise miles apart. It has also become a vital tool to create awareness about any social issue. It helps to highlight an issue that has otherwise not received enough attention. E.g. The GOI has made use of social media to highlight the issue of cleanliness through its Swachh Bharat Abhiyan that created a huge buzz on social media. People get to know about various schemes and programmes of the government through social media. It is also used by NGOs and other pressure groups to further their cause as it appeals to a larger population.

Economic significance: Social media can aid business establishments to flourish with the help of tools like social media marketing. This helps them to reach millions of potential customers with minimum cost involved. Employers and potential job seekers can reach out to each other without the need to come together. It helps start ups and small scale businesses in building a brand for their products and services easily. Customers can also read reviews and feedbacks before buying a product or service and hence make a smart choice.

Educational significance: Social media is regarded as a storehouse of information. People can access as much as and as many as information required just with the help of a click. Live lectures,live sessions etc have become a popular tool these days to reach out to maximum target audiences in a very convenient manner. Social media can help students to nourish their knowledge with a lot of teaching aids available online. Students can watch videos,see images etc.to instantly clear their doubts. Students can also enhance their knowledge by reading blogs,articles,write ups by renowned teachers,professors and thinkers. All of these has especially helped learners in rural areas who do not have physical access to such facilities. Teachers ,on the other hand ,can make use of these tools to make their lectures more interesting and lively. Thus,social media can truly be regarded as a boon in the educational sector.

Political significance: Political parties all over the world have resorted to the use of social media for political campaigns. Social media has helped them to connect with the masses more easily. People, on the other hand, have also become aware of their rights such as right to vote.The general elections 2019 in India are a classic example where social media use has encouraged more and more people to participate in the biggest festival of democracy. Special social media cells are being maintained by almost all the political parties

In the last few years, social media has grown at an unexpectedly fast rate and has captured millions of users worldwide.However, peoplethe world over are divided regarding the consequences of social media use on the society as a whole. Some feel it’s boon, while others consider it as a bane. Thus, it has become a subject of wide debate today.

 

The negative consequences of social media can include the following:

Cyber bullying:Many children have become a victim of it today which can retard their mental development.

Hacking: The loss of personal data can lead to security issues. There are crimes like identity theft and bank details theft.

Addiction: Prolonged use can lead to addiction which can cause loss of focus on other important things like studies. People get so absorbed that they cut off from society.

Relationship frauds: People are lured into fake relationships and they are cheated upon.

Health issues: People often complain of becoming lazy, obese, itchy eyes, loss of vision, stress, anxiety etc after excessive use.

Loss of social and family life: Everyone busy on phone is a common site in a family or social gatherings.

Use by anti-social elements: Radicalization, terrorist acts, cyber crimes etcare committed with the active use of social media as it provides enough anonymity to the perpetrators.

Therefore,it cannot be denied that the wrong and excessive use can lead to many negative impacts on individuals and society as a whole.

The first lines from Charles Dickens’ famous novel “A tale of two cities”- “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, …..” can be quoted here. This is the same paradox we are going through now as well. We are in the best of times with technology making our life easier and also in the worst of times where we are enslaved by the same technology. Thus, instead of getting into the argument of social media being good or bad, we must find ways to use it effectively for the benefit of mankind. This can be done with the active participation of the elected governments, parents, teachers and the society as a whole.

Ethnic diversity of Assam – APSC Mains Essay

Ethnic diversity of Assam – APSC Mains Essay

(Essay submitted in APSC Mains Essay Writing Contest 2019 – Essay Topics for week 1)

 

Ethnic Diversity of Assam

By Sumita Duara

 

Assam – the land of the red river & blue hills tucked in the northeastern part of India has been a melting pot of diverse ethnic communities since ages and is an amalgamation of multi-ethnic, multi linguistic & multi-religious groups.

To understand the diversity that is Assam, one has to understand her physiographic location. The state is bounded by seven states & has international borders with Bhutan & Bangladesh. Several geographical barriers also bound the state. To the north lie the eastern Himalayas. The lushai (mizo) hills, Chittagong hill tract & Hill Tippera lie to the south. To the northeast lies the patkai bum hill, which serves as a border between Assam & Myanmar. Though surrounded by hills yet it is estimated that eleven major ethno linguistic migrations occurred through these mountainous terrains. Thus, an amalgamation of races as Austric, Mongolian, Dravidian and Aryans has shaped Assam into the ethnically diverse land.

History of migration:

According to B.S Guha the eminent anthropologist, the earliest settlers of the land are the Mon Khmer speakers from South East Asia who are now identified as the Khasis & Synteng (Jaintia) groups. Then came the Tibeto –Burmese tribes of the Eastern Himalayas; and are today identified as the Mishings & Deuris; the Bodos & Kacharis ; the Karbis.

The next wave of migration occurred in the proto historic era from North India with the arrival of the Indo Aryans in around 500 BC and then migrants from the Gangetic plains of the Bengal occupied the Barak valley. Towards the end of the ancient period  the defeated soldiers of Bakhtiyar Khilji settled in the Hajo area, becoming the first Islamic settlers in the state.

The Ahoms under the leadership of Sukaphaa crossed into Assam through Pangsu pass in the Patkai bam from Myanmar. With them came the Buddhists of the same ethnicity who are recognized as the Khamtis, Phake, Turung & Khamtang people.

The year 1826 saw the first anglo-burmese war and the signing of the Yandaboo treaty; this led to political instability & the migration of the Kachin & Kuki-Chan people from Myanmar who are at present identified as the Singphos & the Kuki chin tribes respectively.

With the advent of the colonialists came the service providers from the states of Bengal, Rajasthan. And to tend to the burgeoning tea plantations the britishers bought the tribesman from the tribal heartland of India as indentured labourers.

Present Scenario:

The Indian constitution has recognized 23 tribes in the state, with 14 of them being hill dwelling tribes (Chakma, Dimasa, Garo,Hajong,Hmar,Khasi & Jaintias, Lakher, Maan, Karbi, Pawi,Synteng, Kukis, Nagas ,Mizos) & the rest 9 (Barman, Bodo,Deori,Hojai,Sonowal Kachari,Tiwa ,Mech, Mising & Rabha) reside in the plains. The ethnic diversity of the land can be enumerated from the very fact that languages spoken in the state belong to three main language groups: Indo-Aryan, Austro-Asiatic, & Tibeto-Burman.

The tea tribe of Assam is an umbrella term for 109 tribes (Bhonda, Chamar, Goala, Tanti etc). Adding the Hindu Aryans, Islamic & Sikh settlers and migrants from the states of mainland India in search of a livelihood;to the milieu is what makes the land of the Brahmaputra a mosaic society with people living in harmony since times immemorial.
