We must invest in the character structure of the messenger – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
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 Ali Sadoughi, An educational expert and the deputy of civilization of the specialized center of Mahdism of Qom seminary, we sat down to talk.
Hojjatoleslam Ali Sadoughi In conversation “There are three concepts in relation to the media. Whenever we talk about the media, these three concepts appear in our minds. The first is the sender, the receiver, and the third is the content and text of the message. These are three issues.
He added: “We are actively facing the issue of ethics in the field of messengers. We also have to work specially on the text of the message.” But in the case of the recipient of the message, we can do no moral work in the structure of his personality except to give moral content to the content of the message.
The culture and inner personality of the messenger, the most important element of media ethics
Hojjatoleslam Sadoughi stated: In order to create this moral spirit in the content of the message, we must do our best to make the moral identity flow in the sender, so our definite and priority element in the moral field goes back to the sender, when We say that this moral identity must be current in the messenger in order to be able to produce appropriate moral content for the audience so that the audience can experience a metamorphosis. So we have to invest in the messenger personality structure, so that he can have this moral identity.
He pointed out in this regard: Some people think that if the moral knowledge and information is of high dignity and they are acquainted with all moral matters, they necessarily have a moral identity, this is not a problem at all. There are many people who have a high level of religious knowledge but are by no means religious under any circumstances, so we must distinguish between moral knowledge and moral culture.
We need to invest in the character structure of the messenger
The educational expert stated: Yes, moral knowledge is the prelude to the emergence of moral identity and moral culture, but the obligation Bring Not every religious science and information associates us with a religious and moral identity.
He added: “Recently, there has been a debate about the professional ethics of a person who works in the field of media, whether in the field of audio and video, or in the field of writing, and the producer and producer. Follow as professional ethics, this professional ethics can have the aspect of hypocrisy, it can have the aspect of identity, if it is identity, it is under our first discussion and we must prepare the structure of moral identity in the individual, but if the aspect of identity Yes, this action and reaction of the messenger may be influenced by his moral identity or he may be pretending, and with this pretense, he is committing his social interactions.
Referring to the issue of moral identity, the Deputy Minister of Civilization of the Mahdism Center of the Theological Seminary of Qom stated: In order for us to create a moral identity in the messenger and producer of media content, we must work on his culture and inner attachments.
He described culture as a systematic stream of thought or value and said: “This stream is embedded in the inner personality of human beings and is the product of their choice, and man is intensely acquainted with that stream of thought. And it provides the do’s and don’ts for man, and it is on the basis of these do’s and don’ts that man manages his life, relationships, trade, and interactions.
Hojjatoleslam Sadoughi added: “There are several pillars here, firstly, this current of thought is a pillar itself, and secondly, there is a container called internal personality, not external personality.” Third, this stream of thought is the product of the individual’s own choice, that is, it is not imposed, induced or induced, he must choose that stream himself. Having said that, one must have a strong affection for that current or value or thought system, a serious affection that we call “faith” in religious literature, then if this intense affection arises, it is a very strong ground that It can oblige a person to do’s and don’ts. If we accept such an issue, moral action must take place on the inner personality of the messenger, so that he can influence the text of the message based on the structure of inner personality and culture he has received.
Babian, we must invest in the inner personality of the messenger, he noted: The inner personality is an honest personality, unlike the outer personality, which is sometimes true and sometimes not, for example, a lady with an excellent and complete hijab, all the appearance of the hijab He observes, but in his social behavior or in his privacy, he performs movements that show that he does not adhere to the hijab that he maintains. So what we do in private is our inner personality and our culture shows our inner, true and honest personality, this character is sometimes completely in line with the outer personality and sometimes it is false and uncoordinated. Sometimes, because of social behavior and social acceptance, one makes movements that one does not believe in.
Sadoughi continued: Of course, just as time should be given to the inner personality of the messengers, when he was trained, his whole goal was to influence the audience and produce content appropriate to his inner culture. so; The messenger (messenger) must pay attention to the intellectual foundations of his audience, take seriously the structure of the audience’s life system, correct it if it is contaminated, and upgrade it if it is clean. These are the efforts that are made in him after committing to the inner personality of the messengers.
Content is the product of the manufacturer
Regarding the content presented on social networks, he said: “Content has produced a product, that is, the productive thinking of the producer culture, affiliations and تقیّدات The messenger or messenger influences a text, the content is not something that is produced spontaneously, the content needs the actor to be created, so whatever moral character the messenger has, that content also has a moral identity, or If the owner of the message has a contaminated culture, the message and content will also be contaminated, causing the audience to suffer from chaos and intellectual, psychological and psychological crises. Therefore, we must take care of the health of the messenger so that he can produce and deliver the content of a healthy message to the audience and he will reflect. Wow has it.
Every message must be produced for the purpose of divine pleasure
Referring to the instructions of Islam in this regard, he said: “We must become acquainted with religious knowledge through Islam, through faith through love and kindness, and in the field of action, when we act on the do’s and don’ts of the school, we face an identity called piety.” If this piety and action is accompanied by poverty and perseverance, we will reach a new worship called Ehsan. After Ehsan, another identity will be formed in us called اخبات, That is, man reaches a position that says I am Everything I do for that merciful God, that is, the person considers himself a mere debtor to the Lord, this is where the logo slowly enters a new station of a character called nearness and then overtaking and then لقاء And finally it reaches Rezvan. Therefore, after Islam, to faith, piety, benevolence, اخبات, Near, overtake, لقاء And divine pleasure is the behavior that we must go through and in this way to realize the worship and servitude of God.
Workplace standards are an important factor in explaining media ethics
He pointed out: The messenger and the messenger is a person who has faith, piety and benevolence and that identity if he worships and worships God and this cultural identity. عَبد After all, he can no longer separate content from ethical frameworks. He lives by those moral frameworks. But in the field of professional ethics, it is subject to workplace standards.
“A person may not be familiar with these standards and the rules that govern the workplace, but because he has a professional commitment, he is required to abide by it,” he said. host. Someone upstairs is watching him. But the person himself may not have any affinity with these do’s and don’ts of the work environment. In our professional ethics we have no more internal motives, our motives are often external. But in the field of ethics that we talked about, called Islamic ethics, which is based on inner belief and based on inner culture and inner personality structure, the individual himself produces inner motivation, so he can not give another order and direction in producing content and message. Except for the path he believes in.
