How YouTube, Instagram and Facebook Impact your Health

Suraj Nair ✉ The rapid-fire nature of short-form videos, particularly YouTube shorts, Instagram reels and Facebook videos with their quick cuts and fleeting images, can be particularly damaging to our ability to focus and concentrate. The constant barrage of new content can lead to a phenomenon known as "continuous partial attention," where we are constantly distracted and unable to fully engage with any one thing. Reprsentative picture Moreover, the reliance on bite-sized content can also lead to a decline in our ability to process and analyze more complex information. Short-form videos often prioritize simplicity and brevity over depth and nuance, which can lead to a superficial understanding of the world around us. As we continue to consume more and more short-form videos, we must take steps to mitigate the potential negative effects on our thinking abilities. This may include setting limits on our screen time, seeking out more in-depth content, and engaging in activities ...

The Paradox of Desires

Image
 Mudasir Koul ✉ Some seek to get a divorce, while others search for a lifelong partner! Have you ever felt like the world is a complex puzzle, where our dreams sometimes clash with others? Jealousy is a common trait — wanting what others have while they desire what we once possessed. Let’s talk more about it and untie this web. In relationships, some seek to leave marriage feeling trapped, while others search for a lifelong partner. Many crave fame for public recognition, yet some long for attention even if it means being marginalized. Being suddenly drawn into the limelight often makes people appreciate privacy. At these moments, they are longing for times when they are the only people in the room, and they can finally be free from the watchful eyes of the public. While some people hunt for recognition and feel the “publicity pride,” others who want to connect crave the community that accompanies the status. No matter what, our dreams change throughout the life. We are excite...

The Global Awakening: How the Resilience of Palestinian People Is Inspiring a Global Shift Towards Islam

Image
Ikkz Ikbal ✉     The resilience shown by the people of Gaza during the nearly six-month-long brutal assault has ignited curiosity about Islam among youth in the West, leading many to embrace Islam. People of various backgrounds are responding to the call of Islam, across continents and oceans, from the busy streets of Melbourne to the vast sprawl of American cities. One of the most powerful factors appears to be the unshakable faith, determination and resilience of the people of Gaza, elevating the consciousness of the world.  The people of Palestine and Gaza continue to suffer.    Israel continues its relentless onslaught on Palestinians for more than 6 months now, killing tens and thousands of people and continuing its bombardment despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an ‘immediate ceasefire’. Representative picture More than 30,000 Palestinians are reported to be killed, more than 75,000 injured, more than 1.7 million internally displaced an...

The rising trend of social media trolling

Image
Editorial⌛ When Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook, it appeared to be a brilliant idea. Initially, it served as an online mug book for college students, but it quickly evolved into something much larger. People of all ages and backgrounds joined the platform, connecting with their high school classmates and distant relatives. Even churches, bands, and hobbyists formed groups to engage with their followers. These connections, like a complex web, led to even more connections. Eventually, it became possible to be “friends” with everyone you had ever known, including numerous strangers. However, very few of us stopped to consider whether all 1234 of our “friends” deserved access to such personal information. At first, we didn’t question the idea of being friends with every person we had ever known and countless strangers. It was the norm, and sharing everything from dating experiences and concert videos to political opinions and breakfast choices was simply what people did. As a result, man...
