Personal Reaction towards the article: How TikTok is influencing minds and changing culture
In the modern society that we belong, no matter our age, social status and etc. We are reliant with the present technologies that are with us. One of the largest portion that capture our interest within the human-to-technology engagement is the social media platforms. Now given that it has offered its contributions to the world by its features that gives the people easy access to information, lives of others, communication and many more. The article that I read, was centered upon the platform called “TikTok.”
When the application TikTok first arise, the platform was centered upon music and talents alone. As it rapidly grew over the years, It has evolved along with the people posting their contents on their accounts, widely open for the whole world to see. TikTok contents and users has now variety of contents to offer; from showcasing talents, music, cooking, advertising, politics and etc. TikTok has become a complex platform while still upholding its purpose for entertainment rather than formalities and it has done certain impacts towards the mind and culture of the people. It is used by many to gain popularity towards themselves or their contents. TikTok is like a free space for anyone in the world who desires to create contents to their liking and for everyone else to see. Despite its great effects to the world, we still can’t deny its prevailing negative impacts such as racism, bullying, its damage to the mental health of young viewers and many more.
Henceforth, the platform TikTok is indeed neutral regarding its effects to the global community or tech users. It may have its positive effects towards some responsible viewers and content creators but it may be the cause of downfall towards young viewers because of the toxicity of some users on lurking on the platform.
