THE LIFE OF KOREA’S YOUNG GENREATION

Korea’s young generation is supposed to be increasingly more dependent via online media. There are various investigations that caution of their enslavement. Nonetheless, there have been not many endeavors made to get “why” they become dependent via online media. Most past investigations of youthful ages and online media have would in general zero in just on quantitative or subjective studies, and subsequently a hypothetical comprehension of why and how the youthful age invests such a lot of energy utilizing web-based media is as yet inadequate. This paper endeavors to give a hypothetical clarification to the conduct and mental qualities of the Korean youthful age’s reliance via web-based media.

For this reason, this paper is generally founded on hypothetical investigations led by French humanist, Michel Maffesoli, and his famously helpful ideas like enthusiastic dependence, the fanciful, and the insignificance of regular daily existence. This paper has been coordinated in the accompanying manner. It starts with a short outline of the current life conditions of Korea’s young age, and their utilization of online media. It then, at that point depicts the hypothetical elements of passionate dependence, of corresponding social help, and fanciful self-articulation. At long last, it attempts to expect future patterns of the youthful age’s utilization of online media. The youthful age is encountering actual development, yet in addition enthusiastic changes that make them mentally shaky.

Specifically, the youthful age in Korea is under a ton of stress from tensions identified with planning for college placement tests, inordinate contest at school, and the danger of joblessness. The self-destruction pace of Korea’s young age has been so high as of late that it has become an intense social issue. Youngsters feel forlorn in families that keep on being individualized. They experience forlornness and distance each day, and put a great deal of exertion into staying away from and beating these sentiments. As indicated by the OECD, the least normal score for life fulfillment in the present youthful age is enlisted in Korea. Korea’s young age has among the most reduced sensations of satisfaction and confidence about the eventual fate of youthful ages anyplace on the planet, and many see themselves as “social failures.” The Korean educational system expects understudies to hush up, to buckle down without considering different decisions open to them, and to be effective in college placement tests. These assumptions clearly perpetrate a lot of weight on youngsters. As indicated by Maffesoli, they are encountering the strange inconsistency of being (as they are), and of being (as they are obliged to be) in their public activities.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Youngsters put a great deal of exertion into how they address themselves in their companion gatherings. By addressing themselves, and getting support from their friends, their confidence increments. In their support of a friend bunch relationship, web-based media has a critical job. Web-based media has arisen as an incredible stage for keeping a person’s human organization. That is the reason online media has become a significant space of interest in the field of the humanism of data. Toward the finish of 2011, the World Future Forum recommended ten catchphrases that will depict future society, among which “online media” was positioned third. Web-based media can be characterized as the aggregate online correspondence stages devoted to keeping up with human connections and associations by means of “sharing.” The most significant capacity of web-based media is to interface individuals. On account of the concentrated sharing of instant messages, photographs, recordings, and other data, we would now be able to encounter the hypercommunicative culture, or all in all, the “happiness of correspondence” (Baudrillard). Web-based media is “social,” since it has been designed to understand individuals’ cravings to be together whenever, anyplace, with others, and on the grounds that the primary justification its reality is to grow further, which is social. Facebook, Twitter, QQ in China, Mixi in Japan, and Kakaotalk and Line in Korea are some unmistakable instances of web-based media. Online media impacts individuals’ cravings to be associated with others in exceptionally effective manners. It permits us to be connected not exclusively to data channels, yet in addition to others’ lives, 24 hours per day, as it can defeat conventional constraints of existence. Web-based media additionally depends on the hybridity of time. To put it another way, it capacities as a blend of the energy of machines and the feelings of men. Online media clients are connected by mysterious, virtual, network advances. Mechanical advancements, for example, cell phones and web-based media add to another kind of dependence — being in touch, in association, in fellowship with others anyplace and whenever. Web-based media have a boundless limit with regards to making ceaseless connections among individuals. Since the cell phone showed up in our day by day lives, online media have grown further. By essentially downloading a web-based media application through Google or an Apple store, clients can without much of a stretch be connected to other people. Personalization and the scaling down of correspondence innovation have become the power behind web-based media improvement.

ADDICTION AND VIDEO BASED COMMUNICATION

Despite the danger of becoming dependent via online media, we can distinguish some certain focuses. Maffesoli is unquestionably right in saying that there is regularly an obvious compulsion; in any case, it very well may be likewise deciphered as aggregate happiness. Youngsters, utilizing web-based media, make the imprints of their regular day to day existences. 16Emotional dependence through online media is by and large currently interpreted primarily by writings and pictures (photographs). Later on, it will be founded more on recordings. Recordings can make correspondence more prompt and more enthusiastic. With market needs and innovative development, correspondence with recordings by means of online media will assume an essential part in associating individuals later on. It is the imaginal world that we will live in, later on, as advanced innovation creates. In this imaginal world, the pictures, including photographs and recordings, will ensure the upkeep of social ties and frames, and will reproduce the sociality, lastly, the representative coordination that will happen all the more habitually. The fanciful, through the picture, will interface individuals. Once more, video-based correspondence will be a prevailing aspect of the online media world. As indicated by Maffesoli and Lemos Martins, connections with a PC and the Internet are an expressive action. It is actually the case that the machine and innovation have expanded the space of control and mastery. In any case, new friendly innovative clans – who use machines and innovation admirably to stay away from control and mastery – will arise.
