On apps like insta, people post seemingly perfect posts of their lives depicting how attractive they might look or how they're eating really healthily and trying out matcha lattes, or how much money they have. What people post on social media is something that tries to make you think that their lives are perfect. But that post that they took of themselves had at least 5 filters to make their skin look smooth and to make them seem rested. And that matcha latte they didn't even drink and those stacks of money they posted pictures of, were only one dollar bills. Social media aims to affect our perceptions of others by making us compare ouselves to the standards of others and re-evaluate what we're doing.
It affects the way we might view others, and why that is is because is we may accidently put high standards on people because of what we might see and belive what others shook look or behave off of socila media platforms.
Explanation:
What we listen to, and what we look at most affects how we think and view others. So that means if your on socila media, then you might put certain standards on others.
