Facebook: A Race To Get A Better Ray Of Spotlight



Have you ever skimmed through your Facebook home page and pondered upon how hopeless your life is? Or how exhausting or unexciting it is? I unquestionably have quite a number of times.
I believe that facebook was created as a platform on the internet to connect, socialize, make friends, share, etc. It was meant to make us feel cherished and welcomed into the lives of our friends and family while we scanned through their timeline. Be that as it may, always viewing my friends sharing pictures and stories about their life journeys, excursions and hang outs to cool spots, made me feel excluded leaving me wondering  what was I doing with my life. That in the long run left me feeling discouraged, envious and separated from the world. Girls tend to share countless selfies looking remarkable making others, such as myself, feeling insecure about themselves.  Bragging about going to expensive restaurants and sharing pictures of food tends to make other individuals feel awful about themselves who can't afford to go to such places.
According to a recent study by German researchers, one in three individuals felt ghastly in the wake of going to the site. Watching companions in their course of events made them feel, to a great degree, terrible about themselves.
The most well-known reason for individuals to feeling discouraged and unstable on facebook was the comparison of likes and comments with their friends. A few individuals post a straightforward status that says "Feeling hungry" and there would be over a hundred likes and comments on it. Even posting something canny and significant does not get me any more likes than only ten or fifteen. Your popularity and worth is characterized by the number of friends in your profile or what number of comments or likes does one's photo gets. That prompts a person feeling useless and substandard compared to those people.
These things have prompted both men and ladies feeling constrained to be the best one on their profiles. This leaves a significant number of us attempting to post physically appealing photographs, statuses and comments that makes us appear to be cooler than others. Every one of us attempts to be someone we’re not in order to be "likeable". Social media has turned into a wellspring of race for us to get a better ray of spotlight than other people.
Due to these circumstances, Facebook has become to be another purpose behind us feeling unstable and pressured. We should all try to remember the primary purpose of social media and not get dragged into this race of getting a bigger number of likes.

Each person is distinctive and delightful in their own particular manner. In spite of the fact that, Facebook has unquestionably assumed a noteworthy part in stressing me out, I have learned that social media does not define who I am. There is a whole other world to life than simply the number of likes and comments on my photographs and statuses. So we all must unwind, associate, share and appreciate our lives in ways we believe are the best.

Will discrimination ever eradicate from the world completely?

Whether it is a workplace, school, college or any social gathering, the vast majority of us have been focused of something known as discrimination.
Discrimination implies making judgment about people in view of generalizations regarding their demographic gathering. It is something that can't be controlled or avoided unless we change the outlook of the general population discriminating towards others. Most of the time, the reasons are absurd to the point that we can't see how to keep away from it. For instance, individuals are discriminated because of their skin colour, religion, ethnicity, gender or even nationality. We all know about the way that discrimination has been an issue since history is still rehearsed globally. For example, the homicide of a great many Jews by the Nazis, slavery of the black in America, and recently the victimization of Muslims.
Living in Jeddah, I experienced that the Saudi’s always felt superior to people from countries like Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.  They treat them like second rate people. I have witnessed this happening with individuals arriving at the air terminal for Umrah, and getting treated like waste due to the nationality they hold. It is not reasonable for them to judge or discriminate them on the premise of their root.
But mostly, we fail to realize that discrimination is carried out amongst the people of the same race, ethnicity, religion and nationality. Let me elaborate what I meant by that. I visited a neighbour’s house and the way they treated their servants was heartbreaking. They weren't permitted to eat in the same plates as them, or even eat the same sustenance, and surprisingly more terrible, they weren't permitted to sit on the couches or mull over the beds. They were considered to sit on the floor at all times. Isn't that segregation towards poor people and the powerless? Don't these individuals hold the same confidence as us? Don't they hold the same nationality as us? Then why the discrimination? Simply because they're poor?

Regularly, everybody discusses prejudice and discriminations, and debates to an incredible degree, however have we ever looked into ourselves and acknowledged what we're doing? This demonstration of discrimination is practiced all through Pakistan to the level of provinces. A family friend's son, got grabbed and whipped by Sindhi individuals, living in Karachi, simply because he was from Punjab. They discriminate towards Punjabis and vice versa. Everybody discusses how Muslims are being bashed throughout the world; however do we even understand this is going on between ourselves? Similarly, a Pathan is discriminated by individuals dwelling in different areas. Why? Why do we sum up and begin making presumptions about individuals we don't have a clue about personally.

Discrimination is carried in Pakistan to a great extent on the basis of gender. Females are considered as inferior to males in any social society. While my sister was working in an organization, her male colleagues were always given better promotions even though she was capable of working better than them.

To eradicate this act, we need to first be aware of it happening in our own surrounding. I have witnessed several incidents like these which sicken me to the core and usually the reasons for it are extremely absurd. In any case, the significant thing that disheartens me is that it is not created by the environment alone; it exists in the psyche of every individual.
