ation between the intelligence community and the mainstream media in the united states. vision by you. thank you. you have, that's it for the show. remember, we're bringing you new episodes every saturday on monday, but until then you can keep in touch with that social media. if it's not sensitive in your country and had to have the channel going underground tv on rumbled up. com to watching you and all the episodes of going undergrad. so using the, which i thought there were some openings to students, the slow that was done is colina lynch. what they thought is going to look you agree? miss stella to post is all the at the is that i that's a give them mind. some other friends i need, which is easy to so on the concrete as a central material which is in line and someone in id like july. the idea is

ordered by the little screw. well, in the middle of something in the widget presidents and not the degree that the results between you and the 2. would you do that for, for sure. no principal on top of that much. we want you to seriously similarly process the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show your mind, anticipation. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to makes a truck rather than fit the area. i mean with the artificial intelligence we have so many with him in the

the robot must protect his phone. existence was on the question. i mean, you clear love seeing those little muscles. if you look on the initial do one a significant dealer post on zillow, while the deal was, can use the put body. what do you do, origin, but you also as the was done, the newest frame only begins sisters to good lou. do what i see these the buses,

the little cute little dyson says, do some uh, tutorials on both of the what is the opposite of essential media social life. i'm just going to houston on this edition of the 360 view. we're

going to look at the damage being done when you replace the actual human interaction with online interactions. and as a social media, companies should be held accountable for any damage being done by their users. let's get started. the . i will be the 1st to admit, i can get lost for hours and the various social media platforms now available in post pandemic life. you would think people would be excited to get back out and have human interactions. however, it seems just the opposite has occurred as what started out as an industry. it was only a handful of businesses now bussed over $128.00 different platforms available to users around the world. and 2005. the pew research center begin tracking adoptions of social media platforms with only 5 percent of adults using at least one platform

. well, as of january 2023, there were $5160000000.00 internet users worldwide, which is 64.4 percent of the global population. of this total, $4760000000.00 or 59.4 percent of the world's population. for social media users, but the numbers don't stop rising as most people don't just use one platform. in fact, on average social media users, average 6.6 different platforms and spend 2 hours and 31 minutes daily on social media. while those numbers that might be impressive as any industry would welcome that kind of traffic. the continuing discussion as to what negative effects social media has on mental health of individuals. at any age hasn't grown from possible to confirmed. scientists have even concluded don't mean the chemical in the brain which signals a reward to the body is released following

a certain aspects on social media. this same results as triggered by those who i talk with, who have their 1st pop on a cigarette for a smoker or excitement and instantly winning at a spot machine. this can be extremely addicting to any individual regardless of their self discipline. but just like with almost everything else to come in contact too much of something can turn to a bad thing. and then a non perfect world, social media has become an effective weapon. which some say can do as much damage to a person, a family, a community, and a society as a got to join me now discuss is lisa palmer austin, a license marriage and family therapist in san diego, california. and she's also a certified f t therapist, trainer a supervisor, and founder and one of the directors of the i'm mostly focused a couple of training and research institute at alliant international university. thank you for joining us. dr. is it fair to put all of the blame on the decline of

mental health on social media or is this just escaped? obviously it's not fair to put all the blame because i think people really have to take personal responsibility. that's something that's definitely lacking is that personal responsibility. but we have to understand that social media is everywhere and people are with their phones. they literally sleep with their phone. so it's the 1st thing that they look at when they wake up in the morning social media often times. and the last thing that they look at when they go to sleep at night. so we can't under estimate the power of it. there have been many challenges which have produced bad results, like the drinking challenge were sent 28 kids from university of massachusetts to the e r. but it's also has found to be an excellent and economical way to spread the message about events or movements and is a 100 resource for people who are homebound distill, interact with the outside world. so dr. do the negatives outweigh the positives regarding social media?

i think you can go in either direction. um, definitely social media can be very positive. there's a lot of people out there putting out positive messages of inspiration, but often times it is used negatively. and so people don't even realize that they're using it in that particular way. and a lot of younger people in our generation are absolutely being influenced by social media in the negative messages of social media. and oftentimes they don't even realize what's going on in it is having an effect on their mental health. you know, some would say all of these mental health issues have always existed. but social media has just made it able to identify a more acceptable to talk about. do you agree? i feel that a lot of people, especially young people, are having social anxiety types of issues and they're recognizing that it's so it's become a lot more prevalent. and i do believe a lot of it has to do with the pressures of social media and the images that

they're comparing themselves to other people and also not being able to form relationships, interpersonal relationships. a lot of people, again, you know, they have a relationship with their phone, they have a relationship with the video games. they have a relationship with virtual reality. but when it comes to the relationship with others in real life, they're having difficulty with that as well as more conflicts towards themselves. like really not knowing who they really are as people, how is social media change the way people interact with each other in person? well, we always have to go back to your relationship to your self with it. your self and a lot of people are lacking self awareness. a lot of their focus is on images and culture and whatever is outside of them to try to make them solves, feel better about themselves within. and a lot of people are realizing that that is not the way to go about feeling good about yourself. and a lot of people are really confused. and i think it

a kind of goes back to enter awareness and having to build your strengths from within yourself. and realizing that you know, social media and, and um, those types of platforms can be used for the positive. but a lot of times they're not. and so you really have to seek ways to enhance yourself growth in a positive way. this generation has grown up on social media. everything in their life are shared for the world to see all in attempts to go viral. are we seeing this bleed out into real life where people are just over sharing now to complete strangers on the street? such a good question because i think that the line between what's real and what isn't real is become completely blurred where a lot of people, especially those in the younger generation. they see that how they're presenting themselves and what they see on social media is real. and the reality is, a lot of people are out there trying to make money through social media,

so they're doing a lot of exhibitionistic and, and in some cases grow test acts just to, to make a living. and i, a lot of the younger generation things that this is perfectly okay because hey, money is money and i don't really, you know, have a real relationship to, to expands or to, however, they're making this money through social media. but in reality, it is affecting their mental health and it's changing the way that they think about themselves are self esteem and, and at the end of the day they have to, you know, go home and face themselves. thank you, dr. lisa palmer, stick around this seems like a great opportunity to take a break because when we come back i want to ask if dr. palmer things in the future could we see social media companies be held liable for damages just like gun manufacturers are being held liable for rational to the

. the 1935 fast is easily led by dictator benito mussolini decided to expand its colonial empire in africa. and take over the opium. by that time, ethiopia was the only fully independent states on the continent. back in 1896, its inhabitants were able to defeat via daily and called linux and defend their independence. since then, rome craved for revenge for the humiliating defeat. in the morning of october 3, 1935. without any announcement, the foxes attacked ethiopia and bombarded it most severely ethiopian armed forces

bod, courageously. but the roots allergy of the italians knew no bounds. they use not only massive bombing attacks on civilians, but also the chemical weapons toxic gases. this change the course of the war. as a result of the occupation of ethiopia by the fascist 760000 people were killed. the capture of the african state was committed with europe's tacit approval. britain and france recognize the annexation, giving the green light to a further fastest expansion in the world. 10 baby and the way for the outbreak of world war 2. the more expensive. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously . why watch something that's so different. whitelisted all opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do you have the state department to see i a weapons, bankers,

multi 1000000000 dollar corporations, choose your fact for you. go ahead like change and whatever you do. don't watch my show. stay main street because i'm probably going to make you comfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the waiting thing. the memory loss is unusual forgetfulness, the a form of memory loss and ability to recall past events the to can be general or concern. some specific events solely in some cases, the memory loss can extend back in the decades. the starts an intensive course

of a memory recovery on our team the . we are back discussing social media in the effects it has on mental health. so that our guest elisa palmer olson, a license marriage and family therapist in san diego, california. she's a certified e f. t therapist, trainer as supervisor and founder, and one of the directors of the emotionally focused couples training and research institutes at a lined international university. thanks for joining us. there is a lot of focus on social media and mental health for young people. well, what about those for middle age? what are we finding to be the effects on the mental health? those may be in the thirty's or forty's or they're less negatives. well, i definitely think that being in the thirties and forties and are being affected by social media is a, is a real thing because let's face it

a lot of images on social media. our photo shop, there's a lot of young people posting images and somebody who's in there, you know, thirty's and forty's, and they're part of the aging process. a system is a real thing and you look at these images and you say like, well, i don't really look like that. and i really want to look younger and it goes back again to not accepting yourself or maybe not feeling that you're good enough. and younger people struggle with that too. but maybe they're also struggling with not feeling good enough and their careers are not feeling like they're measuring up. and they're comparing themselves to take talk influencers, who are making multi millions of dollars and living this glamorous lifestyle. and they're going well. but that's, that's not how it's actually happening for me. so they're comparing their lives in reality to their images online. and a lot of times there's, there's a huge discrepancy there that does affect their self esteem. a lot of people are going to use her plastic surgeons and saying, hey,

i want to look more like my filter. and so that is a thing, you know, and people are kind of getting sick of paying for their, their face to in folders and saying, why can't i look more like this? so i think the idea of how someone is supposed to look is sort of changing because everything is seen through a filter and not really seeing through reality. and then we're talking probably talks or talking fillers. we're talking the car dashing ends and figures that have, you know, how appear to look perfect in their own ways. you're going well, wait a minute. that's not really how i look naturally. so you're absolutely affecting people's self esteem and, and causing a lot of people to, to want to make those, those physical changes. what role does smartphones have in this? would there be a difference if social media was only accessible on a desktop, therefore limited versus always being available in the palm of your hand? well, smartphones are actually real estate. i look at them as real estate because everybody

has one and a desktop. you know, you can leave your computer, you can walk away, you don't really walk away from your smartphone a lot, people don't turn their smartphones off typically. so your smartphone is always with you. and again, it can be used for the positive or the negative, but i don't think we can really discount the power of a smartphone. the power of an app. i mean, i'm developing an app my apps going to be positive, very inspirational for people. but there's a lot of applications out there that really are not positive for people. and i think people have to take responsibility for their own self, their own mental health and, and make better choices. um to to, you know, decide for what's going to be good for them and what is it when it comes to use of their smartphone, you know, and a time when gun manufacturers are being held accountable for crimes committed with their products. do you think it would be good for technology companies or the social media platforms to be held liable for the damage being done by their

products? well, i mean, i think it's an interesting question. i mean, i think there can come a time for anything. i definitely think that companies need to take responsibility for their own morale and everything else when it comes to what it is that they're publishing for the general public to realize their influence on people. and it really comes down to whatever their mission and their purposes. unfortunately, there's people in their companies out there that really don't care about anything but what goes in their pocket and in their book. and i think at the end of the day, the view or the audience, the person has to take responsibility for their own wellness and mental health to make better decisions for themselves regardless. so that could be applied any area of their life. they could go to a bar and drink alcohol or they could choose not to. uh and again, it all comes down to a personal choice. is there discussion about social media and mental health only happening in western developed countries?

or are we seeing it in places that are more traditional around the globe? well, obviously i live here in america, so i'm mostly exposed to america. i do work with patients globally, and i could tell you that this is a global issue because smartphones are global or a mostly everybody has a smartphone, but you do seeing a lot of other cultures is where there is more of a sense of community and where maybe they are organizing differently around circumstances and, and some unfortunate circumstances of the culture that they have a greater sense of inner peace in their whole, in this community. and those particular aspects of, of the person or another culture do kind of help the individuals of that culture to become more adaptable to negative circumstances because they're dealing with it

from a more positive perspective. so a lot of that has to do with how you think about what's happening around you. so i do, i do kind of feel that when people are more united as a community, that there is a lot of power in that. and, and i mean, real face to face interactions, what you see here a lot, and i hear a lot about this from, you know, especially from my patients is a huge amount of isolation. and the more people are depressed or the more they're anxious through. there is more of a tendency toward isolation and we saw that with the pin demick. people kind of installation became normalized hurt during the parent dynamic. so when, when people got out of the pin dynamic, they almost didn't know how to socialize, but western culture just in general we, that we promote independence in the 1st place. whereas a lot of other cultures, they have bit more of a community. they're still that getting together with family or helping each other

out and seeing your neighbors and knowing your neighbors and, and maybe they're grouping when it comes to prayer or even religion or spirituality, or helping each other. right? so there is probably a lot more of that that i see in other cultures versus sort of this independent mentality that, that worse we see more of here. i would say in america, whistle blowers have come out and said tick tock has specifically said algorithms in western countries all to spread these dangerous trends like eating tied pods. choking challenges boards and screening videos or depression and suicide were in china. the algorithm is set to spread videos on tick tock that are more educational . knowing this is the number one app kids are using all over the world. does this res, concerned? it does because when you,

when you're talking about an online application that so many people have access to and that they're being influenced by. and it's literally something that they're watching before they go to bed at night. and when they wake up in the morning at the times with their brain waves are most susceptible and most influenced, it does kind of raise concern if a lot of those messages may be negative and may normalize negatively. so of course that's going to be your concern and again, it goes back to people having to wake up and, and take responsibility for themselves. certainly, companies should have a moral fabric about them and be aware of what it is that they're putting out there to the public. but people have to take a personal responsibility for themselves at the end of the day, a phones or no phones. they have to look deep within themselves and say, how am i feeling, you know, am i happy with where i am?

and am i seeing myself from a strength base perspective and if the answer is no, and they feel that a plat, any platform may be affecting them, then they kind of need to detox from it and, and take a better look at themselves and make some changes shouldn't governments impose limits just like they do with alcohol, or is it too late to try and reverse something which already play such a large role in society? i mean, it's a really good question. i personally hate the idea of the government intervening and freedom and people's rights. but government intervenes all the time. i mean, you can't drive 90 down a 30 mile an hour zone. right. and the government, you know, they, they are setting certain standards and principles like, hey, you have to pay your taxes on time and you have to do this and that, and you know, in some, in some cases, rules are good and some cases rules do go too far, but when you consider the fact of okay, should government intervene and how much alcohol is served at a bar?

people who don't have a drinking problem will say, hey, no, i want to just be able to have as many as i can. and there is a limit, but when you consider that, oh, the alcohol a few goes into a bar and they don't stop and they have a problem. maybe there should be a limit because then they're putting someone else in danger. so i really kind of flip flop both sides and uh, at the end of the day i think people safety is going to be the most important thing and both sides of the spectrum. because when you have someone who has a genuine problem they, they really can't stop their problem. and a lot of times they can't even afford treatment because treatment for them could be, you know, $60000.00 a month plus. so i think that the government may be, in certain cases, should look at some areas to intervene and not just not because they want to impinge on, you know, people's freedoms. but actually looking at freedom from the opposite side is that how can we keep every but he's safe? so at least i have to ask you, how do you help people disconnect a more from social media? well, for everybody it's a little bit different,

but there are some things that are the same, which is that you have to reconnect to yourself and, and build upon some of your coping skills and your core belief systems and really start building that up. but like anything you have to actually reprogram your brain and when you start to get used to be a safe just being alone, you can slowly build confidence by slowly exposing yourself to society, to situations you know, little by little by little. and unfortunately, you know, we have to sometimes step outside of the box of comfort in order to achieve the goals that we want to, to even take and take some risks. and it's, it's interesting a lot of people as much as they know that they may need to take risks in certain areas, are afraid of failure and they're afraid of, in some cases, they're also afraid of their own success. but we have to be able to take those rest and take small, but you know, significant steps toward where we want to, where we want to go and realize, hey, you know, it's, it's okay to, to feel

a little bit uncomfortable. but as we get used to each situation and as we expose ourselves a little bit more, a little bit more, a little bit more, we realize that it's okay. and most of the time we realize i can do this. thank you so much for joining us. and dr at lisa palmer. yeah. social media, it's not going away any time soon. different problems which have emerged as a result are just going to have to be dealt with. i'm scared now. hughes, and this has been you, arthur, 60 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching the,

the, the, the meaning of power to make you able to defend your, your values. so this is the sole meaning of your power. you'll defend your survival and your so we see that the russian power east, enough to defend our survival values, the gains that communities of powers with, with the voltage to search as opposed to the right. so see which ones are out there. so some of this will be slippers

are going to see anything important to me. the last name was these read. those can, will be used to be imagine we have some more more or should we move with this? we weren't sure. i knew people to the, the, to take a fresh look around as a life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions fixtures designed to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better wills,

and is it just because it shows you fractured images, presented as fast? can you see through their illusion going underground? can the multiple civilian buildings are damaged and ukrainian drone attacks in the belgrade regions as russian forces continue operations in the border area. following a, you print in stop a tour, a raid which left at least 8 civilians wounded. also ahead on this test sites we have the unique opportunity to witness up close. we really have the front row seats with missing the russian drone, snipers owning their skills are to follow.
