'Social network/ media invasion'

Social media and network has recently gained a lot of attention from people with its widely usage as well as its influential attitude. It has slowly become another part of people's lives, however, instead of making good, it has turned people into a walking machine!

The network was introduced to keep people in touch even though they are far apart, but, obviously, they are secretly separating families and friends. Why? When people are focusing on keeping track on other people via networks and devices, they tend to forget those who stay right next to them. Within the social networks, nothing can be proven that it is real, especially people's emotions. We don't know whether people meant what they typed or they just typed to make it seems that they meant. Therefore, social networks and medias have brought people into an unreal world

friends and families were ignored since the networks and machines have been introduced. They have been put away from our priority since we all concern more on socializing through networks rather than face-to-face

it is now the most popular medium that people use in every activity. Text is now used to command things, directs activities, communicate with people, as well as memorized memories.

Therefore, even though social networks and medias actually do what they have been advertised, connecting people, however, might need to be advertised how ignorance could people become

Deep Ecology – A New Paradigm Summary

In this new century, there are several global problems, interconnected to each other, such as an overpopulated in world population, poverty, or extinction of animals and plants species. Those problems may be considered as a whole different causes and resolutions, but in fact, caused by mainly a problem which we called, a crisis of perception. Approximately fifty years, physicists and philosophers have been debated about this change in paradigm where, according to Thomas Kuhn, changes in paradigm occur in discontinuous and revolutionary breaks which so-called paradigm shifts.

Not only in physics field where paradigm shifts occurred in twenty-five years ago, whereas they can be found in a much larger arena throughout the world; which is now to be concerned as a cultural transformations rather than physics itself. What is happening now is that the revolution of paradigm, for instance the view of human body as a machine or the achievement in technology growth, has shaped up our society for over decades and as well as influenced the rest of the world.

The new paradigm, generally, can be called either holistic or ecological worldview. However, ecological seems to be more applicable to the term since ecological sees things within how it functioned, as same as holistic, and addition to the effect on communities and environment. In deep ecology, according to Arne Naess, the Norwegian philosophers, it prioritizes human as same as other existence. Another characteristic is to question more, which considered as another kind of paradigm shifts as well. Within ecology schools, social ecology and ecofeminism schools seem to be interesting as well since social ecology does much more on cultural characteristic and patterns while ecofeminism concerns more on the context of patriarchy.

Moreover, even though expanding our perception is very important, however, having values is another necessarily aspect as well. In the past patriarchy in society plays a major role that gives power, self-assertive, and prioritizes men as an upper class of women. However, according to new paradigm, it shifts social organization to networks.

When comes to daily life, deep ecological ethics is needed especially in sciences which what scientists do today is not life-preserving but life-destroying. Yesterday we might have separated facts from our values, whereas today’s society has corresponded perception and behavior as a psychological connection.
