Unit 1: Social Networks (1ère G6_gr2)

Can we Autocorrect Humanity?

The document under study is a video form YouTube, created by Prince Ea in 2014. It is about the negative impact of the excessive use of new technologies and social media that can lead to a lack of humanity in our interactions (it is dehumanizing). In fact, our connected devices make us miss our real lives and our real relationships. Indeed, we no longer know how to communicate with one another. We have become antisocial.

Self-worth is our values, how we see ourselves and care for ourselves. However, through social media the number of followers and “likes” unfortunately have defined our self-worth.

To conclude, we cannot autocorrect humanity because everyone should decide to change their habits. For example, one should stop taking pictures of their meals and just enjoy it. Meet more friends in the real life and stop taking videos and pictures of every moment, one should enjoy them fully.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
