Who makes the saucy (ie saucy of words and deeds)?
This question usually comes to mind as I browse comments and responses, as well as posts in modern media, where a large amount of negative and vulgar comments flow, which does not help the main purpose of developing dialogue or discussion.
Then I ask myself again: Are we facing a language or moral crisis?
Since the emergence of social media has caused a deep rift in society, and in many of its users, their contradictions and the shallowness of their thinking in the virtual world, and the other side of a different society has emerged, we have tried to ignore for years, and we have to deal with obscenity and the industry of vanity on a daily basis, tax We have to pay it, we did not cause it!
We all agree on the scientific fact that man is not born obscene, but is formed with this acquired and accumulated, which affects the souls of individuals, which makes some go further in the analysis of this phenomenon, and describes it as part of the defense mechanism resorted to by some, To protect themselves even as they prepare behind the communication devices, and hide in the dark aliases.
In a study of social psychology, conducted by an American university, about the reactions of individuals, through exposure to bullying or insults by people passing through the street, the study proved that the reaction is more interactive, and perhaps harsh, if the individual comes from a conservative background, It was raised on the foundations and principles of nobility and honor. In contrast, the study also showed that most residents of giant cities such as New York and Los Angeles do not pay attention to the verbal slander and verbal harassment of transients, do not pay attention, and continue their way.
In this ark, can anyone settle the debate or controversy regarding the use and uttering of obscenity? This seems impossible to me. We must choose another way is to fight thought with thought, and exchange of respect in order to enrich the dialogue, but the weak linguistic and intellectual dimension of social media users, led to the magnification of this phenomenon, the use of obsceneity, especially when the actors and influencers in the new media use superficial language embodying their level The majority of followers are directly or indirectly affected, especially in their impact on the new generation and those of different age and cultural groups.
Therefore, dear reader, do not be shocked by the intellectual and linguistic shallowness of many influencers in the new media networks, which are entirely language-based, nor are they shocked that many non-influencers have linguistic and intellectual richness and have qualitative additions, both for followers and readers.
It is true that our societies suffer from a linguistic crisis fueled by the use of the wrong media, and the low level of reading and knowledge in Arab societies, and this soon appears in the level of our generations as crystal!
To understand this experience, you have to ask who is at the forefront of media influence in society?
In the past one of the wise said: «I wish the neck of the camel to weigh the word before uttering it». Between camels and obscenity our societies are formed and evolving, and new influences and terms emerge that the public deliberates without caution.
My friend says: You have not answered the question yet, who makes the saucer?
I told him: We made it ourselves!
Our societies are experiencing a language crisis fueled by the use of misinformation and low reading.
