WHAT’S TRENDING AND HOW? PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

From ancient cave paintings ,Asoka's Pillar Inscriptions to Cicero's web of ancient Rome and now to Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook the basic theme of mass communication has remained pretty much the same , what's changed however is the speed, the way and hence the impact. This brings us to a paradox, its simpler because somewhere it's all complex. So it's increasingly becoming difficult to distinguish between news from propaganda, subtle manipulation from brainwashing, and information from advertising, ideologies from hate crimes. So, who decides what's trending and how that impacts life and perspectives about human life? What's real and what's not?? And Why That Matters?
