- W776923908 abstract "I. A SOCIETY OF NETWORKINGAs more than just a technological revolution, today's revolution in social communications involves a fundamental reshaping of the elements by which people comprehend the world about them, and verify and express what they comprehend. The mass media are introducing a kind of revolution in human society. They are reshaping the elements by which people understand the world and themselves. Each epoch has a particular understanding of reality and today we have the peculiar understanding of reality and this understanding is a key factor in making right decisions. The understanding of reality now passes through what we call the world. The continuous relation between the real world and the virtual world is a new fact that needs a systemic study at a social, psychological and philosophical level.The constant availability of images and ideas, and their rapid transmission even from continent to continent, have profound consequences, both positive and negative, for the psychological, moral and social development of persons, the structure and functioning of societies, intercultural communications, and the perception and transmission of values, world views, ideologies, and religious beliefs. Not only is the perception of the world changing, but also the perception of the values and the correspondent ethical vision of reality. The consequences are both positive and negative. A fact that occurs in one part of the world is known after just a few minutes all around the world and becomes part of the news everywhere. We are receiving so much information that we can have the impression that we can't assimilate all we receive in so different fields and that we need a critical perspective regarding what we receive and what we want to assimilate and incorporate.Reality, for many, is what the media recognize as real; what media do not acknowledge seems of little importance. Thus de facto silence can be imposed upon individuals and groups whom the media ignore. From a philosophical point of view, the construction of reality, done by people is fundamental to their behavior and the conception they have of society. This influence also touches the fields of ethics, religion and the sphere of the personal conscience. The new means of communication gives us the possibility of grasping reality in a new original way that can transform societies for good or, on the contrary, separate them from reality, creating a kind of gap between the real and the virtual.We have to recognize that we live in this new world and that every one of us receives the profound consequences of the media in our psychology, in our way of understanding morals, in the way the societies are structured and in the perception and transmission of values.Certainly, society has received a strong positive influence of mass media and of new media, that are tools for education and cultural enrichment, for commercial activity and political participation, for intercultural dialogue and understanding. They also can serve the cause of religion. Yet, there is another side of the coin. Communication media that can be used for the good of persons and communities that can be used to exploit, manipulate, dominate, and corrupt. The new media have contributed to create what has been called globalization. We live in a global world, an interconnected globe humming with electronic transmissions, a chattering planet nestled in the provident silence of space. This is an irreversible process in which we all live, and we are bound to experience it in different ways. This situation raises an ethical question: All these media contribute to authentic human development? Are they good for us as human beings? Are they helping us live better our vocation, mission and destiny? Do they develop what is good for our nature? We can't set aside ethical issues when we speak about mass media. Not in a moralistic sense that doesn't help anyone, but in organizing and using these powerful tools for the good of individuals and societies. …" @default.
