The sinking of the Saewol happened 4 days ago near Jindo in South Korea while high school students were going to go school trip. It attracts tons of people’s attention through social media such as Facebook and Twitter. All of the posts is about the accident. Here is summary of the event. One of Korean broadcasting stations misreports as that the whole victims are rescued, but it really is not. It causes incorrect information on social media for agitative purposes. IN MY OPINION, It shows heroism caused by social media in order to help them in a psychoanalysis perspective. The social media turns into a warfield for the facts in an instant. The parents of the victims insist that the broadcasting stations are lying that the government is supporting an emergency rescue right after the accident; it looks like they need no more assistance in the work of rescue. As a result, the parents ask people to share these facts through the social media.
On the other hand, some SNS users raise their voices of confusion; what information must they believe in? The lesson at this time, I learn that problems of social network/media, that is FACTICITY.
Today’s social media accommodate services in that people could access to news as much as news on search portal websites or from broadcasting organizations homepages. People get discernment and learn how to think critically and judge the truth.
Now, around 270 students and people are waiting for the rescue under the sea...PLEASE pray for them.
