How social media work along with psychology.
As the introduction suggests that psychology works with social media in order to engage the maximum no of audiences on their platforms for a greater viewership. One of the major examples of these platforms is Instagram and tick-tock. According to research, the attention span of a normal human is very short and these apps provide an adequate amount of time for which our minds are already trained. Thus, these apps are addictive and play with human psychology without even getting noticed but it is very bad for the mental health of human beings.
Psychology is used in day-to-day for many media works like ads, promotion, events, and news because humans work on emotion, and emotions are interlinked with the psychology of the human mind as the world is getting aware of it the media platforms are using this cocktail for their personal benefits. And turning the societies toward communal imbalances and tension this knowledge is not new but very dangerous if not used in a positive way. Radio Rwanda is an example of how psychology can be used to destroy countries if used for greed and power and the most recent example is Srilanka.
Even the news channels nowadays provide reports with a high pitch as high pitch excites the mind and an aggressive tone sets the emotion of aggression and hence they play the emotions of the society for their viewership. The human mind has a few pitch points which can be triggered by music, sound, and pitch of the speaker and all these news channels work on these points to get more focus and attention of the public and convert them into a regular customer as they provide them the daily dose of excitement and adrenaline for the viewers.
Music is also a key factor that plays with the psychology of the human brain as the left side of the brain is creative and hence remembers the tone, sound, and lyrics. And music is well connected with human emotion it is a well-crafted weapon to produce an adrenaline rush in the body. Music is the easiest way to reach emotion and the depths of the mind, thus it is also connected to the psychology of the brain it is often seen that with a musical background people make very short videos that become viral on social media in no time. The music, words, and tone together are an excellent way to reach the audience in a profound way.
Social media is also fighting social media in its own way because only it can balance its hate and love simultaneously, the people are working in their own way to balance the platforms across the globe. It is an amazing way that can make or break the future of our society but one thing which is certain about social media is that it is the future of the upcoming world as the people are engaging themselves in the cyber world or virtual world the media has the key to future and if it used in a mind-altering tool then it can be a harmful weapon.
