be planning to withdraw from the occupied regent. russia has been ferrying people out of the area for weeks. this is d w. news line from berlin up next shift living in the digital age. don't forget, you can always get your headlines. 247 on our website. that's d w dot com on and on social media at d. w. news. i'm michael. ok. thanks for watching. we'll be back with more news and always at the top, the out with people and trucks injured one trying to flee the city center more and more refugees are being turned away from water families. please see the reason for these critical illness with people lean extreme drought

ross getting 200 people from the agency around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes. why? because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w, made for mines. ah, just be yourself a wait, scratch that be the coolest most interesting and ideally funniest version of yourself. at least whenever you pose on tick tock or instagram, but seriously whose real live actually matches their social media. is authenticity even possible? that's our topic going to say the name i

it seems authenticity is all the rage right now. just look at the success of the up be real here. stage photos are discouraged. instead, users are prompted or the random time each day to snap a photo of whatever they're doing in that exact moment. no filter pictures really look pretty per se, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. many people are fed up with seeing perfectly curated lives, splashed across their feeds. a recent study evaluated more than 10000 facebook profiles and found that people feel better when they paused what they actually care about. psychologists and romance explains why. if you think about society at large, again, this way of us interacting with one another and also looking to each other for what is normative for what is desirable. so if we compare it is real version of our lives to the idealized version of what everybody else looks, lives look like on social media. essentially,

you're kind of have this comparison that makes us feel pretty bad us about ourselves. and so this, this notion of, if we start posting martha antique lee as a collective and as a group, that would reduce some of these comparative bias as i like the sound of that. but how many people are really willing to post their real unfiltered lives online? well, one way to share the mundane part of our everyday lives is with humor. take a look at the stories. this influence from ecuador tells she has gained a large following by being true to herself. ah, nancy resort gifts. her followers glimpses into her daily life in ecuador, in andes. ah, her mother works on a farm. and her neighbors in the fields, her candle, reflections on facebook and instagram have found a huge audience. she has around 9 and a half 1000000 followers across her platforms. commitment that i love his life as an influenza. i love you all. her videos are playful, imaginative,

and funny. the simplest, the way i've always been, focus more on committee and making people love. i really like comedy that people laugh and we're happy. little necessarily. i used them was phyllis is a stunning backdrop. a great sense of humor and total ease in front of the camera. it's a winning combination, ah fiddle. i'm certainly blessed to have been born in iraqi, but simply being authentic doesn't ensure success. they like this kind of constant combination of like, what is it? it can do on your side to reach audience and to appeal to something that isn't out there yet. right. so maybe that's a point, a perspective on the world that hasn't been captured and, but i'm sure that just as she is now very successful. there's probably a lot of other people who had like a similar story that something very similar. and they were just not picked up by the algorithms. i think it's a combination of offer something unique. and then also just have to be a bit lucky ah,

confidence and thick skin are also important traits to have. so as not to be brought down by negative comments. it is either we're just going by received many comments like that more at the beginning when people made fun of my appearance as an indigenous person and things like that. new mazda civilian political. but i responded with human to show people that those comments don't affect me and it's less than i can turn them into a joke. this a level she stick with nancy russell strives to be her authentic self and do what she enjoys. regardless of what others say, joy, my mandia and more sasha than ever because all this was filling another one of my dreams to have my own runway in my own style. it's be long no matter what she does next, nancy resort will stay true to herself. i love her attitude and have videos have definitely opened my eyes to a whole world i might have never seen otherwise. ideally,

these kinds of authentic live experiences from content create us all over the world . can enrich our global understanding. this example from bangladesh does just that . with holly cartoon is a cook and a small village from bangladesh, she is also something of a youtube stuck together with other women. she regularly cooks for the villages $1000.00 or so residents. they prepare a huge portions. people from around the world watched them on youtube. the cooking channel has more than 4000000 subscribers. i'm are they tell it's great that so many people love our videos that we're proud that even though we're poor, we're reaching so many people in cooking for our village gives us a sense of great accomplishment. i'm a medical ballet le ah, the channel became popular through this clip of a 3 year old making fish curry. the video now has more than 93000000 views.

cooking in front of the camera has now become the norm. but i'm on them. it doesn't make much difference to me whether i cook here or at home. we're all one big family, one loan. but the biggest difference is that with these huge portions. and i can't just ask them one of there's enough salt in the food. i mostly, what i have from this is all night air come back right there. i things the very quiet in the village until about 6 years again, then muhammad hussein's nephew started making videos of the fish market. the idea grew from there by the video. we had at the time, i wanted to film the villagers eating together at a picnic, new york where every one gets some food. we started with small amounts of rice over then more and more villagers came to share meal time with i've ever been a while. so many people around the world drawn to these videos, the psychologist sandra months, has one explanation. it's just something that might be nice to watch is like outside of what you typically do during your day. and it's almost like this

cognitive refuge that you can go to and, and let you also know is like, this does collect of experience focus like once you have a 1000000 people watching, as it suddenly becomes part of something larger, the turner pays off financially to add revenue amounts to more than $1000.00 euros per week. something the whole village profits from it's great with the stories like that go viral and then directly benefit the people who tell them. social media has opened up new opportunities for women, especially whom narisa is one example. she's been sharing alive as a business woman and the influence of for 10 years. she was a trailblazer in pakistan where women previously had little visibility on life. hi, my name is america. i'm a social media influencer. i run a youtube channel and, and instagram law. and i also have a platform and forecast by the name of happy holidays. i produces both videos and

podcasts at her company. she uses a few different studios for the productions and employ several people as a fema entrepreneur in pakistan. she set herself apart and found success. so when i get this instagram, blogging wasn't even a king in pakistan, i just started there with a lot of things that were missing on the internet. they were hardly any clue 1000000 going to have the time and i've been very proud of myself to have been one of the 1st few women to have been that way. and to normalize. like i just as that name. it was art. today i'm not as i, as empowering women in her home country to find their voice, inviting them to speak on her blogs and tasks. and men and women look side by side in the studio. something that's not so common in pakistan. i think one of the things that i'm eligible in my peers and position is that i need to inspire young women to think outdated. markson king beyond what they pink,

dig into with every accomplishment. i'm not as i shows how she balances her career with being a young mother. her husband is supportive of her work. her ability to juggle her family life and manage her business has been an inspiration to some of her followers. one thing i would want the younger generation or younger women to know in order to pursue their fashion, is that you gonna wait for the right circumstances or the right time with one key to success seems to be standing up for what you believe in doing so can inspire others to ob, due to re, from docker, has done just that by taking the initiative to make his neighbourhood more beautiful on sundays are due to re takes to the streets of his neighbourhood and duck hard to campaign for a cleaner and greenness city boy, lassie, dwayne at day,

settled in my eyes, civic engagement as something individual. everyone can do their part to keep a space in front of their home clean, sweeping, planting, trees, planting flowers. i don't think that needs a nationwide campaign wanted if there was an hipaa, the mobility to listen ego. over the years, his inspired his neighbors to join in light of do to raise on a mission to change the attitudes of people far beyond duck are in synagogue. he forms the clean up sessions on his phone and then shares the videos on social media to reach a wider audience with the hash tag katie that challenge. he's connected to people all of africa. yeah. with dish and the saw and many young people have joined the green neighborhood challenge in africa. so we've got members in about 15 countries . all these people come from different places, burkina, faso, togo center,

goal. chad. my message is to say to others that you can do the same for the samples. we've seen amazing, but let's not forget these are the exception, not the rule. the fact that i even became aware of them came down to algorithms and the whole lot of luck simply being authentic does not automatically guarantee success. and there can be a negative side too. well, if you are someone who kind of really nicely fits into what society thinks of as and as an ideal is very easy to be authentic. so if you're part of a marginalized group, that is much, much harder to do. so i think we also have to think a little bit about what are some of the limitations of authenticity and maybe by placing a lot of emphasis on his notion to be authentic. we're putting a lot of pressure on people who are probably having a hard time we call in psychological safety. if you

encourage to, if you courage, people to bring their full authentic selves to work on to wherever it is to search media. you also have to create a space where this is, this is possible and i think that's something that essentially does have to do. one of the things that i would love to do is essentially kind of have a way of putting content out there without necessarily everybody being able to common right away without the ability to see all of these likes and share it like shares maybe. but the essentially kind of take away some of the pressure, i'm just putting stuff out there and that is popular and without the pressure of necessarily getting this constant feedback. and whether that's good or bad. not a bad idea. after all, comments can often be destructive. in order to keep authenticity as a positive thing, i think we need key rules like robust community guidelines. what do you think? that is? no. that's offered to date. bye bye. ah
