Mehr News Agency – Religion and Religion Group – Negar Ahadpour اخبلاغ: Internet-based social networks, such as Face book، Twitter، LinkedIn، ViberTelegram what’s up And که While there are spaces where people make new friends or keep old friends informed about the changes in their lives, they are places for young people to share their ideas and opinions. Social networks, in general, are places in the virtual world where people introduce themselves briefly and provide the opportunity to communicate between themselves and their peers in various fields of interest.
New social networks have created a new and different world of human communication and interaction for us. These rapidly growing networks are becoming one of the infrastructures Technologically They are central and sometimes inevitable in our lives and social activities. Human innovations and new technology, in addition to providing the well-being of the human condition, can cause irreparable damage to the body of society and the human soul.
To examine the dimensions of the issue of media ethics in social networks from the perspective of Islam with Hojjatoleslam Mohammad KahvandA media and cyberspace expert, we talked to you, which you can read below:
حجت الاسلام محمد کهوند In the present world, the mass media and the mass media have a very important role to play in transmitting new information and information and influencing public opinion. He said: “The rapid evolution, in the information age and the need for more exchange between traditional and modern systems, has given special importance to mass media, to the extent that some thinkers believe in the development of economic, social and political systems and the development of media and communication technologies.” They are necessary to each other.
Bilateral relations between media and ethics
He added: “The mass media not only give us the information we need to live in a modern society, but also determine what knowledge communities need and what is valuable.” Therefore, in line with the mission of media awareness, the task of education is one of their main goals. In the context of this role, the media may consider itself the guide and evangelist of society to moral affairs.
کهوند He stated: Therefore, it is necessary for the audience to use mass media as a source of knowledge and education, that the media is based on a set of principles and values of society. Paying attention to ethical principles is one of the issues that not only makes the audience pay attention to the media, but also organizes the consequences of the programs that the media offers. For example, the type of programs that television presents or the ethical rules that the journalist assumes for society (such as: democracy, freedom, etc.) and in general the legal, cultural, social, and legal frameworks and frameworks are all based on moral principles. That they can always remain stable, that is, fixed and generally accepted values of society.
He pointed out: The second dimension of the discussion of media and ethics is the fact that the media itself is the result of social forces and conditions. Therefore, in a society where the principles of values are ignored, the mass media can not be expected to consider themselves bound by these principles. In fact, the media can both act as a moral teacher and guide people towards moral values, or it can take and reproduce the transversal and common moral principles in society and make its sole purpose appealing to the audience. The media, therefore, has a dual mission in relation to moral values.
“Therefore, ethics (as a value system), in a world where everything takes on the color of business and instrumental rationality, can no longer be presented as a theoretical (mental) system in society,” said the cyberspace expert. In such a world, individuals need the practical and practical existence of moral values اند To be able to cope with the responsibilities and tasks and even the troubles of the modern world برند.
Media ethics and the scope of its impact
“The range of mass media is very wide,” he said. The media is not just about Each People influence, but their teachings and practices even affect the relationships between people in society. Depending on the purpose that the media defines for itself, it relates to moral values. In fact, the mass media is so powerful that it is not only used to inform people, but also to determine what is important and what is insignificant and what is desirable and undesirable.
Hojjat al-Eslam کهوند He went on to say: The mass media has three main spectrums for children, youth and the elderly. Therefore, in order to keep all three spectrums satisfied, they choose from a wealth of information, data, and applications. Obviously, this selection is based on the main purpose of the media. Of course, the mass media, in a capitalist system and KalamurOffer more programs that lead the three mentioned spectrums to more and more consumerism and appearances, and vice versa, the media in an Islamic society where right and justice are central to its transcendent values, with the necessary mechanisms , Offers programs that are based on preserving the pure essence and divine essence of human beings.
He said: “Then the media has the power to lead society to either secular ethics or ethics based on religious rites and positive values.” The mass media in Islamic society seeks to produce and present programs that reinforce moral values based on religious teachings, although the same media outlets also make mistakes in their performance, which in turn undermines moral values.
The cyberspace expert stated: The most important issue in the media is the content of the program host. Moral values are not separate from our religious principles and teachings. For example, the Qur’an, itself, is valuable Most Depicts moral values beautifully; But unfortunately, only in a small part of our mass media programs, and on special occasions and in the form of completely direct messages (which is typically inefficient). اند) Use it. Moral values are closely linked to other teachings of Islam, and this, of course, Invaders Obliges them to engage in programs based on religious teachings that, at the same time as religious education, are of great interest to the audience.
He added: “Certainly, the mass media in Iran are not intentional in their undermining of moral values; But sometimes it seems that the carelessness and carelessness in presenting some programs, makes it possible. For example, formalism (superficiality and superficiality) in the media and neglect of practical aspects and the transmission of deep and lasting understanding, has caused the god from whom the media breathes, to be more present in outward actions than in the depths of life and The interior of human beings.
کهوند In the end, he said: what is spread through the media as moral values, is only in terms of form and format and opinion, and less attention has been paid to objective, practical and content aspects. It is hoped that our mass media, with the power they have, will be able to translate moral values into a dominant and prevailing culture in society and, by applying it, strengthen it day by day.
