Over time, those game discs gradually piled up. However, those who buy back take it as pride. “Pile of shame” was so popular that it appeared in Urban Dictionary – the famous slang dictionary in America. The popularity of “Pile Of Shame” also directly aroused problems of consumerism: customers buy games to own instead of play. We also gradually get caught up in brilliant advertisements in the media, some heated discussion on forums, and then hit the buy button without thinking. The feeling of buying and possessing overwhelms the user’s feeling of wanting to play. “Pile of shame” therefore also grows with time.

Capturing the psychology of consumers, brands also regularly launch many discount programs to stimulate demand. For example, at each sale of Steam, the participant will never go back empty-handed because there are too many items with “unexpected” discounts. Walking around the shelves, you will convince yourself with statements like “This has decreased a lot compared to before, buy it because you are saving and saving is smart”. As a result, a lot of games are brought home and you are just enjoying the feeling of having them for a while. After that, the products were gradually forgotten. Instead of just shopping without any concern about practicality, users should learn to spend effectively. Don’t try to buy too much until you have actually finished playing all the games. In fact, games are always sold by manufacturers all year round, do not stock up on them for fear of out of stock. Games exist for the sole purpose of being played by the user. If you just buy and never touch it, chances are you are causing the game titles to be distorted.

Insider Instagram representatives apologized when the system suggested these keywords to people recovering from eating disorders. Cristina Criddle, a spokesperson for the app, told BBC indicates that the above error is now fixed. Having struggled with an eating disorder, Victoria Spence said that the keyword Instagram suggested could hurt newcomers. “To help people discover what they’re interested in, we’ve rolled out a new way to search on Instagram by suggesting keywords as they move to the search bar. Those suggestions, as well as ourselves. search results, limited to common interests, “a Facebook spokesperson – which owns Instagram – said in a statement to Insider . “Losing weight” should not be one of the keywords to suggest, this person added. “We’ve taken steps to prevent these terms from appearing. We apologize for causing any confusion.” Instagram says it doesn’t allow content that encourages eating disorders to appear and deletes posts as soon as it detects them. Users are allowed to talk about recovery from the disorder, but the hashtags associated with it begin with #thinspo , #proana and #anabuddy blocked. The social network also said that posts promoting super speed weight loss products were also banned. According to Dr. Bryony Bamford, Clinical Director at The London Center for Eating Disorders and Body Image, the damage happened when a user saw a keyword on Instagram. “Many people with eating disorders or recovery may be affected by useless messages they see on social media. Diet or weight loss keywords can trigger awareness of the disorder. “After recovery is a time when they are extremely vulnerable, exposure to the above factors has the risk of causing the disease again,” she said. How Instagram recommends search keywords to users. Victoria Spence, an influencer once suffering from an eating disorder, regularly shares articles about her recovery. Spence says she doesn’t believe Instagram promoting diet content is an algorithmic mistake. “Instagram is a platform to advertise, and the diet food industry is a multibillion-pound giant. The problem with content promotion revolves around ‘appetite suppression’ and ‘planning.’ Weight loss ‘on a platform with a large number of young users shows that they are normalizing diets and celebrating weight loss methods’. Spence argues that Instagram needs to improve the algorithm for diet posts to be pushed down. “The question is whether they really care about users or value profit more as businesses,” she said.

Humans have survived up to this point, after all, because of connectivity. Individual men joined gens, individual clans joined together into tribes, individual tribes joined together into nations. By the time of globalization, science and technology take the throne, individual countries can even be hyperconnected to form super nations. Super-national technology manufacturing corporations, super-national pharmaceutical corporations, supranational media corporations – those are long-familiar modern human concepts.

Facebook is also a super-country, Google is also a super-nation, these are new concepts that people have been gradually adopting. Like the ancient tribes, today’s super-states can function only if each of the parts of it were connected to each other. And the tool of the connection is the internet, the wifi, the online meeting software, the dialogue functions of various types of social networks. One cannot imagine what would happen if the entire world lost the internet for about an hour?

Economic, communication damage is obvious, but there are even more devastating losses: a nation or a super-state could face the risk of collapse. Therefore, it is easy to understand that “losing connection to the internet” / “losing connection to wifi” is one of the most permanent obsessions of modern people.

But, not everyone uses the internet in a useful way. Not everyone participates in social media responsibly. From the EU to the US, from Vietnam to Brazil, people are everywhere complaining about fake news – malicious news – bad news spreading on the internet. The falsehood is so terrible that it has contributed significantly to creating an era that researchers call the “post-truth era”, where the nature of the truth is in many cases less important than the fact that it is. launching bad – real information types that hit the crowd’s emotions. Of course, the pre-internet era also had fake news, but it did not have the distribution environment and created many consequences like it is now.

Then again, now people are complaining about this YouTuber snatching the view sentence, causing social pain, tomorrow people complain about another YouTuber making clips poisoning children. It is the nature of the internet that anyone can participate, as long as there is a technological connection. The essence of the social network is that anyone can publish / write articles / comment, either with their real accounts, or with the multitude of virtual accounts that they can create.

Is this a consequence of ineffective educational processes in less civilized countries? Are not! No. of course! Because even the world’s most civilized countries are also having a headache with this problem! These are the inevitable metamorphosis of the first process of contact between real ecosystems and virtual ones? If we believe so, when will this process stop, everything becomes formal and orderly? Looking deeply, on the human scale as a whole (and not just in a few small countries), all these horrible phenomena are probably the inevitable consequence of a human process. away from the great narratives.

From about the late 19th century and before, when performing an action, a person on earth is often dominated by what factors? The first factor is definitely law. Neither was the Middle Aged East or the West, before wishing to marry a person, wanting to join a war or wanting to sacrifice themselves to the gods had to answer the question: whether their actions were appropriate. with local laws / regulations?

But, in addition to the rule of law, there is also the domination of the great narratives, making people face the second question: do our actions violate the standards set by the great narratives? In many cases, the great narratives set strict standards but in many other cases it helped people to be aware of their responsibilities to the race.

Christianity is a great narrative. Buddhism is a great narrative. Islam is a great narrative. Capitalism and communism are also types of great narrative. Believe it or not, believe in each particular narrative is your right, but for sure, people dominated by the narratives often have a higher sense of community responsibility than instinctive people. So researchers believe that it is the great narratives that construct society.

In other words, the narrative creates culture, creates history, creates people with a distinct “human” character. The narrative is a concept associated with postmodern philosophers, can be understood simply as the common / universal things that a community or all humanity has experienced in history. If it is not in the state of “same experience”, it can appear in the state “with hope”, “on the same direction” to create universal values.

When you believe in a great narrative like Buddhism, you will certainly believe in the law of cause and effect. Hundreds of administrative laws in a country will govern your behavior, but the laws of cause and effect will govern your perceptions. Because of the law of cause and effect, you will not be able to do evil. Do not dare to do evil. Do not think about evil. If you believe in a great narrative like Confucianism, you will pursue the qualities of kindness – ceremony – meaning – intelligence – of a gentleman. And, the more people who believe in such great narratives, the more beautiful the human-to-human behavior in a society, the more repulsive an evil evil will be.

By the postmodern era in the West (around the late 19th century), people began to fall into a state of aversion to great narratives. This may come from the harsh rules that some great narratives often make. But, instead of trying to get rid of those constraints, maintaining its proven states of superiority, people tend to break it down.

Philosopher F.Lylotard observed that at that time the “great histories were torn apart,” the fragmentary, local histories simply appeared. Researchers around the world encourage the transition from “great narrative” to “mini narrative”, where social people sink, psychological people emerge, conscious people become roles. side, the human unconsciously becomes the main role. This transition has its reasons, but when it goes from one extreme to the other, contemporary society inevitably sees the disintegration of social constructs. And that disintegration is the germ that creates chaos in the ecosystems that witness human-human compatibility.

“Loss of connection”, if you mention that phrase, people today will definitely think about “lost internet connection” and may shrug their shoulders in fear. But, actually the biggest frightening reality is that people today have somehow lost connection with the great narratives. The stereotypical return to the previous great narratives is certainly not the way out, but selective return – conversion – and renaissance may be the way out? Or, today people can create new great narratives, if not for themselves, also for their descendants in the next tens or hundreds of years.

Losing connection with the great narratives is likely to be one of the greatest human tragedies.
