money through social media, so they're doing a lot of exhibitionistic and, and in some cases, grotesque 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 or solve the theme 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 they 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 in 1884. the german empire began its colonial invasion into name may be from the very start. berlin encouraged the white colonists to settle in south west africa and take away the best land from the local drive. the germans were actively draining natural resources and using the local population as a cheap labor source. this was causing major protest and led to a rebuild your in 19 o 4 here, aero. and now my drive is refilled against the german colonial rule. kaiser wilhelm the 2nd was fully determined in order to suppress the rebellion with the up most of irritate against the inhabitants of nan, maybe

a germany through its 15000 well equipped army. all around the country concentration camps were built in humane medical experiments over citizens were conducted within the period of 4 years. the german, skilled up to 60000 people, among which there were 80 percent of the here railroad tried and 50 percent of the number dr. the events in south west africa are called the 1st genocide of the 20th century, and not without reason are compared to the holocaust just 2 decades later after the massacre in nam may be a hitler's a solid unit food on the same round colonial uniform which puts the world into the chasm of the 2nd world war, the eclipse. without the worst, i'm opening the sluggard or south carolina electronic funds for me to look. you agree, miss stella,

to post the result of the at the is that i that's a get a minute. got another one, so i need which is easy to saw on the screen. so of course to ensure material which is a 1000000 level i'm willing to identify july. the funding is all about which will screw well in the you may also because, i mean, yeah, we did present to not the degree that the results. okay. would you 20 and they would just do that for for sure. and i'm principal to which, which, which insidiously simply process the acceptance. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show search like why watch something that's so different. i listed of opinions that he won't get anywhere else to give it. please do the have the state department,

the c. i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your facts for you. go ahead, change and whatever you do, don't want my shelves. they main street because i'm probably going to make you comfortable. my show is called direction. but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you i 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 alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. and the point obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various job. i mean with the artificial intelligence we have summoning the theme in the

robot must protect this phone. existence was on the we are back discussing a 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, they certified the f t therapist, trainer as supervisor, and founder, and one of the directors of the emotionally focused couples, training and research institute at a light internation university. thanks for joining us. there is a lot of focus on social media and mental health for young people. what about those were middle aged? 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 like, 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 a factor solve. seeing 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 talked, we're talking fillers, we're talking the car dashing ends and figures that you know, have 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, decipher what's going to be good for them. and, 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 could come a time for anything. i definitely think the company is i 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 to 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, 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 it 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 pandemic. so when, when people got out of the pen 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 in 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, whistleblowers have come out and said tech talk 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 negative anti. uh 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 apply 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 of 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 i to 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 it and pins 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, 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 goal that we want to achieve and take, then 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, dr. at lisa palmer. yeah. social media, it's not going away any time soon. there aren't 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 who are 360 view of the news. if i can, you, thanks for watching the only way not to be around to see what's going on with is that i think most of the this is just simply slippers

are going to see anything important to me. the last name wasn't easy. that was can, when we used to imagine we have some more for someone, what was this? we would show new people to the, the take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power type vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills. and is it just because it shows you a few fractured images presented as fast?

can you see through their illusion going underground can the nuclear envelope. she was like a new muscles. if you look on the, shall be one of course, significant dealer post on zillow, while it be almost getting used to put value. what do you do? oil change, but you also still, this is done, the newest 3 gone . nobody's supposed to been, i lose you. what i see these the buses, the little gear relation says, this done boss of the

one civilian is killed and the same, the wounded in the you framing a company, russian cell growth region, both sides of a 17 militants, were killed. and the rate also this our economy start churning back up in $24.00 and you have that. he's just that i can little winter. i think i think the worst has yet to come. can't all is that the treatment is to say if you work with save from an energy with this off the last, when said by what the brussels won fees. so i came next time on less leaning so hard on the green energy. speaking to auntie rushes deputy national security shaped imagery. midwest is a to, since the west of using nuclear weapons as opposed to points wouldn't lead ship against russia. instead of trying to find common ground and you should have

apparently, they believe that's a nuclear conflict for a nuclear, apocalypse is impossible because it has never been possible, but they are wrong. and such events are completely unpredictable. the a very wrong welcome from all of our team that you're watching on t international coming to live from the russian capital to happy with us. now at least one civilian has been killed in 13 others wounded. as a result of the ukrainian militant across the board, a raid into rushes belt the road region. moscow stays a launch group of ukrainian saboteurs as be the illuminated by the russian military during a counter terrorist operation. this since been concluded, this on verified footage circulating on russian social media channels the ledges to show a high ranking general on the ground in the area leading to a group of russian troops. the defense ministry say 70 ukrainian solitudes have

been killed in the bulk of old region. most could also say the failed raid was ordered by kids on the loss of austria mob school, bach lute, which was captured by russia just days ago. this is the key of regime having suffered a defeat in the city of arts and office has switched to the implementation of terrorist tactics against civilians. on may, 22nd, a unit of ukrainian nationalists invaded the territory of the russian federation during accounts of terrorism operation. the nationalist formations were thwarted and defeated more than 70 ukrainian terrorist for armored combat vehicles. and 5 pickup trucks were destroyed the ukrainians. how much harris took control of a bold gold uh border crossing and a cultural house and a rochelle. you have responded by launching mt. trevor operations are these you crate. these type of tools as we understand how being pushed back,

the local population has been evacuated for their safety. thousands of people, of course, in the civilian boda area. the local governor has also want people to be aware of fake news. now, you know, there's a lot of speculation circulating on social media running telegram channels, but he's, uh so, you know, said to people just wait for official statements like we take it in by these, uh, uh, the, are these, these speculation in a fake news. now the credit in preston street to meet 2 pasco has said that most is deeply concerned. by this attacking earlier, he said that this was a possibly a diversion because away from the news that the ukraine had lost all to both known as the known as black boots. of course, the fighting had been taking place to have for more than $200.00 days. so this was a huge loss. full, a full cab on his wisdom buck. and so this was seen as something of a of a smoke screen. now, washington has always heard, commented, and it said that it doesn't support ukraine a carrying out such

a corporation's and such attacks on russian territory. well like com. so it's just 2 days before will be a time on build the world to us space type company max saw use the phone to lights to fill the region. this is partially funded by us the us government and provides intelligence full depends like on, on the american secret service back in july mark. so i was also spoke to the film in the region just prior to a deadly ukrainian plus the bomb attack on the civilian area, which killed 4 american unpublished supply. the combat vehicles were also utilized in the attacks. some of them were captured by the russian forces, as shown by the defense ministry. meanwhile, in the us, journalists of brill the state department spokes person on washington's assurances, the american weapons would not be used to attack russian territory. and so in the, there were there obviously these reports and there's images online that suggest american weapons to have been used so. so i know you don't know,

but do you support us weapons being use on russian territory and, and would that change the calculus of providing a 16 to grant we have made very clear to the ukraine's that we don't enable or encourage attacks outside ukrainians, borders. but i do think it's important, just take a step back and remind everyone to remind the world of the, of course, it is russia that launched this war. it's russia that continues to launch attacks on civilians and recreated the rest of its target schools and hospitals. and civilian infrastructure, so it is up to ukraine to decide how they want to conduct their military operations . but it is russia that has been the aggressor and this was independent journalist sonya, of on demand the size of washington approve. so maybe doesn't even tell what happens to russians because the, the enemy for the us. the reality of course is that of course, the us doesn't approve or doesn't proof and maybe doesn't even care who is texting because you know,

they're already in the be for the us. so at the reality on the ground is far more different. the west want you to release of the western media and maybe also to pull additions. then this attack is actually from the russian opposition. the russian opposition groups. it's, it's the reason what they do and this is what we saw in syria. and this is now that has little kimball, this is what they're going to do now and trying and as terry's way to a tech rusher, this is perfect timing, of course, because you know, they, they know they have lost even contradictory in the media again in the western media, it's a saying that it's all, it's not sure because, you know, some ask who said on the juice as an adult in here or she was then maybe some ukrainian forces are still holding back. there is somehow the outskirts of uh channels. but actually they know they, they have lost when the mall, thousands of russian soldiers are in constant training and military drills that europe's largest, the army range with one of the tape poets,

of success on the battlefield, being recourse preparation corresponding to equal still on the chance to observe how russian forces are preparing for combat these and the latest military technologies we are in the midst of a box of simulation. russian trainees operate in a makeshift town. according to the scenario enemy tanks are advancing from the nearby fields. the target is over a kilometer away. this test size is larger than 200 spoke, and berlin combined, and no territories put to waste, not far from the brake towns. the land is scarred with french's. sure no simulation can be as real as an actual battle. but it can come close the

everything happening here is russia's postpone stupid challenges and army has faced in ukraine and it has faced plenty. jim and leopards, i'm challenges he read the on the front in the don't pass rush. i'm not rushing aside this threat, but because it is, invest heavily in its own n t type nato's pangs, not the only potential gain change on the don't boss front line. russia has to counter come because drew's rapidly becoming a huge thing. we were lucky to see some of russia's experimental prototypes in

action in ukraine. if you're here this very distinctive approaching buzz, it means that you have become pray that a drone operator is trying to hunt you down. well here on this test site, we have the unique opportunity to witness of clothes. we really have the front row seats with missing the russian drones snipers holding their skills. this time the groom carried an innocent, smooth boom in the don't box. it will of course be um with something much deadlier . you see that building up with the about 8 kilometers away. the developer asks me no, not really well with this device. you can, he responds with a smack. was over a 100 times zoom. i'd be able to make out the clothes a person is wearing in the window, says the scots of the year over $117000.00 boat,

and t is joined the ranks of the russian army. all of them have to be properly trained before deployment. the combined is at this test side hub, heaved the most of this burden on the shoulders. and it's hard to imagine a facility fit better for the purpose. i'm gonna just done a reporting for out. see, the, the longest populated muslim nation in the nation has signed a major economic deal with a ron to spot us functions previously slowing the flow of trade between the countries highlighted by the arabian presidents doing a press conference, a mortality. we believe that sanctions and threats can not stop us in any way from corporation and communication with neighboring countries. muslim nations that are aligned with us in various fields. a deal aims to boost the indonesians economic ties with the middle east via iran, which is on his way to becoming an essential transit hub. responsive and.
