The so-called challenges, such as the Ice Bucket challenge (ice bucket challenge) or the Bottle Flip challenge (challenge of turning the bottle) are challenges that have their origin in social networks, a space in which they become viral, reaching an international impact.
Among these challenges, some can be considered dangerous and others harmless. This is because in some cases, meeting certain challenges involves putting the personal and physical integrity of the person who wishes to meet them at stake.
Those harmless challenges that can be seen on platforms such as YouTube, the completion or attempt of which does not involve any risk, should not be confused with potentially dangerous viral challenges. But well, in order to determine if these really are or not, you first have to explain why they are so successful.
In the first instance, it is difficult to determine the reason for the success of viral challenges. Some possible answers suggest that they become popular because people feel challenged by them, and because they find in them a way of participation.
From such a perspective, viral challenges would be one of the means that facilitate possibility to actively participate in a collective trend. This is very attractive and significant for individuals, because it implies the transition from passivity to agency.
Likewise, other hypotheses suggest that they gain strength when they are joined by figures of great influence, but also points out that their charm lies in the fact that anyone can join and with it, demonstrate your skill publicly.
In this way, from both perspectives, it can be seen that viral challenges are successful because represent a way of participation and recognition by our fellow men. This is the explanation for their wide dissemination, which is related to the potential danger they can represent.
As we already mentioned, some viral challenges they are not necessarily dangerous. That is to say, because of this, it is not correct to say that viral challenges are dangerous or not. There are so much dangerous viral challenges
What harmless viral challenges.
The question then lies in knowing how to distinguish between one type of challenge and another. But What characterizes dangerous viral challenges? Well, putting the personal and physical integrity of the person who tries to meet the challenges at risk.
When one of these challenges involves damaging the person in some sense, be it physical or emotional, it is possible to call this viral challenge dangerous. Once this is determined, we must turn our attention to another problem: the uncritical spread of viral challenges.
While the wide dissemination of viral challenges it does not represent the problem in itself, it is the essential condition that enables certain truly dangerous challenges to reach a large number of people, among whom there may be potential victims.
It happens with this issue, something similar to what happens with fake news or fakes news. These are not necessarily due to the appearance of the internet, but rather to the use of these new tools.
For that reason, the real problem that must be addressed with respect to viral challenges is their uncritical diffusion by large audiences. That is, the fundamental problem is traversed by the education level of the hearings.
As long as an uncritical spread of viral challenges persists, users will share (and perform) both harmless challenges and potentially dangerous challenges, just for the simple fact of participating and being part of a trend.
If we try to trace the relationship of the success of these challenges with the great social processes, we can point out that Despite the fact that every day we are more connected thanks to social networks and modern means of communication, there is still a certain fragility in the social bond.
Such fragility translates into a tendency for individuals to participate in viral challenges for the mere fact of feeling part of something greater than themselves. Because the traditional patterns of coexistence have been violated, individuals seek to fill that void by participating in new practices.
For this reason, it is so usual and common for people to throw themselves so easily into the realization of challenges with a certain indifference as to whether they are dangerous or not. As the objective of participating in them is
empathize and reinforce the sense of belongingSuch considerations take a backseat.
This could be one of the possible explanations for success of viral challenges today. As can well be seen, on the one hand the disintegrating forces of progress while on the other, internet is presented as a new space for socialization.
The problem ends up addressing the nature of the emerging challenges. It is these that must be attended to and distinguished by the same audiences with the aim that only those harmless are preserved and those that are harmful in some sense are reduced and eliminated.
As outlined in the portal of the Open University of Catalonia, the success of viral challenges lies in the mobilization factor that they imply. These are associated with a certain interpellation made towards the participants, which on the one hand stimulates their sense of belonging.
However, there are not enough reasons to affirm a priori that all viral challenges are dangerous for this reason. The ease with which trends and information spread is what makes it possible to spread dangerous challenges, but this progress is not the problem either.
It is, finally, the inability of audiences to discern Come in harmless challenges Y dangerous challenges what constitutes the real social problem that you have to attend to. Once audiences are educated on this matter, the spreading dangerous challenges significantly.
"Mchezo wa ""Ice Bucket Challenge"" au ""Bottle Flip Challenge"" ni changamoto za kijamii ambazo zinatoka kwenye mitandao ya kijamii na zinaenea sana." Miongoni mwa magumu hayo, baadhi yaweza kuonwa kuwa hatari na mengine yasiyo na madhara. Hii ni kwa sababu katika hali fulani, kukabiliana na changamoto fulani kunahusisha kuweka uadilifu wa kibinafsi na wa kimwili wa mtu anayetaka kukabiliana nazo. Matatizo yasiyo na madhara ambayo yanaweza kuonekana kwenye majukwaa kama vile YouTube, kukamilika au jaribio ambalo halina hatari yoyote, haipaswi kuchanganyikiwa na changamoto za virusi zenye hatari. Lakini ili kujua kama kweli ni kweli au la, ni lazima kwanza ueleze kwa nini ni kweli. Kwa mfano, ni vigumu kujua ni nini kinachosababisha matatizo ya virusi. Baadhi ya majibu ya uwezekano wa kupendekeza kwamba wao kuwa maarufu kwa sababu watu kuhisi changamoto na wao, na kwa sababu wao kupata katika njia yao ya ushiriki. Kutoka mtazamo kama huo, changamoto za virusi zitakuwa moja ya njia ambazo zinawezesha uwezekano wa kushiriki kikamilifu katika mwelekeo wa pamoja. Hii ni ya kuvutia sana na muhimu kwa watu binafsi, kwa sababu ina maana ya mpito kutoka passivity kwa shirika. Vivyo hivyo, nadharia nyingine zinaonyesha kwamba wanapata nguvu wakati wanajiunga na takwimu zenye ushawishi mkubwa, lakini pia wanabainisha kwamba charm yao iko katika ukweli kwamba mtu yeyote anaweza kujiunga na pamoja na hilo, kuonyesha ustadi wako hadharani. Kwa njia hii, kutoka kwa mtazamo wote, inaweza kuonekana kuwa changamoto za virusi zinafanikiwa kwa sababu zinawakilisha njia ya ushiriki na utambuzi na wenzetu. Hii ni ufafanuzi wa kuenea kwao kwa wingi, ambayo inahusiana na hatari inayoweza kuwakilishwa. Kama tulivyoelezea hapo juu, baadhi ya virusi vya virusi sio hatari. "Kwa hivyo, kwa sababu ya hii, sio sahihi kusema kwamba changamoto za virusi ni hatari au sio. """ Kuna hatari nyingi za virusi, lakini ni hatari gani kwa virusi visivyo na madhara? Swali ni kujua jinsi ya kutofautisha kati ya aina moja ya changamoto na nyingine. Lakini ni nini kinachowakilisha matatizo hatari ya virusi? Hii inahatarisha usalama wa kibinafsi na kimwili wa mtu anayejaribu kukabiliana na changamoto. Wakati moja ya changamoto hizi inahusisha kuharibu mtu kwa njia fulani, iwe ni ya kimwili au ya kihisia, inawezekana kuita changamoto hii ya virusi hatari. Baada ya kuamua hili, lazima tuelekeze uangalifu wetu kwa tatizo jingine: kuenea bila kufikiri kwa changamoto za virusi. Ingawa kuenea kwa changamoto za virusi sio tatizo lenyewe, ni hali muhimu ambayo inawezesha changamoto fulani hatari kufikia idadi kubwa ya watu, miongoni mwao kunaweza kuwa na waathirika. Hii ni kwa sababu ya ukweli kwamba kuna kitu kinachofanyika kwa habari bandia. Hizi si lazima kutokana na kuonekana kwa mtandao, lakini badala ya matumizi ya zana hizi mpya. Kwa sababu hiyo, tatizo halisi ambalo lazima litolewe kuhusiana na changamoto za virusi ni kuenea kwao bila ukosoaji na watazamaji wakubwa. Yaani, tatizo la msingi ni kuvuka na ngazi ya elimu ya kusikilizwa. """Maadamu kuenea kwa changamoto za virusi kunadumu, watumiaji watashiriki (na kufanya) changamoto zisizo na madhara na changamoto zenye hatari, kwa sababu tu ya ukweli rahisi wa kushiriki na kuwa sehemu ya mwenendo." Kama tunajaribu kufuatilia uhusiano wa mafanikio ya changamoto hizi na michakato mikubwa ya kijamii, tunaweza kusema kwamba licha ya ukweli kwamba kila siku tunaunganishwa zaidi kwa shukrani kwa mitandao ya kijamii na njia za kisasa za mawasiliano, bado kuna udhaifu fulani katika uhusiano wa kijamii. "Uwezo huo wa kuharibika hufafanua mwelekeo wa watu kushiriki katika changamoto za virusi kwa sababu tu ya kuhisi sehemu ya kitu kikubwa kuliko wao wenyewe. """ Kwa sababu mifumo ya kitamaduni ya kuishi pamoja imevunjwa, watu hujaribu kujaza pengo hilo kwa kushiriki katika mazoea mapya. Kwa sababu hii, ni kawaida na ya kawaida kwa watu kujiingiza kwa urahisi katika utambuzi wa changamoto, bila kujali kama ni hatari au la. Kama lengo la kushiriki katika yao ni kuelewana na kuimarisha hisia ya kuwa maliHesabu kama hizo kuchukua kiti cha nyuma. Hii inaweza kuwa moja ya maelezo ya uwezekano kwa ajili ya mafanikio ya changamoto virusi leo. Kama inavyoonekana, kwa upande mmoja, nguvu za maendeleo zinaharibika, wakati kwa upande mwingine, mtandao unawasilishwa kama nafasi mpya ya ushirika. Tatizo linamalizika kwa kushughulikia asili ya changamoto zinazojitokeza. Ni hizi ambazo lazima zishughulikiwe na kutofautishwa na watazamaji sawa na lengo la kwamba tu wale wasio na madhara huhifadhiwa na wale ambao ni hatari kwa maana fulani hupunguzwa na kuondolewa. Kama ilivyoelezwa katika portal ya Chuo Kikuu cha wazi cha Catalonia, mafanikio ya changamoto za virusi ziko katika sababu ya uhamasishaji ambayo yanaonyesha. Hizi ni kuhusishwa na baadhi ya interpellation kufanywa kuelekea washiriki, ambayo kwa upande mmoja stimulates hisia yao ya kuwa na. Hata hivyo, hakuna sababu za kutosha kuthibitisha a priori kwamba changamoto zote za virusi ni hatari kwa sababu hii. Uwezekano wa kuenea kwa mwenendo na habari ndio unaowezesha kuenea kwa changamoto hatari, lakini maendeleo haya sio tatizo. Hatimaye, ni kutokuwa na uwezo wa watazamaji wa kutofautisha kati ya changamoto zisizo na madhara na changamoto hatari ambazo zinaunda tatizo halisi la kijamii ambalo lazima ujihusishe nalo. Mara tu watazamaji wanapofundishwa juu ya jambo hili, changamoto za hatari zinaenea kwa kiasi kikubwa.
