In the age of technology and the widespread use of social media, platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become spaces for self-expression. However, they have also, at times, turned into arenas for displaying irresponsible — and sometimes even dangerous — behavior. One example of this is a video posted on Instagram under the title "Achieving the Highest Number of Views," which showcases behavior that warrants serious discussion about its impact on individuals and society.
- Individual Freedom Does Not Mean Violating Values
It is important to emphasize that freedom of expression is a right guaranteed to everyone, but it is not an absolute right without limits. When this freedom turns into a display of inappropriate behavior or actions that go against social and religious norms, it shifts from being a means of creativity to a tool of moral decay. Some videos, like the one we are discussing today, may be seen by some as a "joke" or "entertainment," but in reality, they send the wrong message to young people — especially in our societies, which are built on values of respect and humility.
- Social Responsibility: The Role of Platforms and Users
1. The Role of Digital Platforms: Instagram, TikTok, and others must promote self-regulation and remove content that promotes harmful or unethical behavior.
2. The Role of the Viewer: Sharing such videos or giving them "likes" encourages repetition, deepening the problem.
3. The Role of Families and Educators: Raising awareness about the dangers of imitating such behavior and educating the younger generation on balancing self-expression with commitment to values.
- In Conclusion: Toward Positive Use of Social Media
The goal is not to ban creativity or fun, but there must be an awareness that every action has consequences. Let us work together to make social media a positive space that reflects our identity and values, rather than a tool that promotes behaviors contrary to our culture and morals.
"Words carry responsibility, and images have even deeper impact... Let us choose what we post carefully for a brighter future for our children."
