HEURISTICS IN DECISION-MAKING

Th information that people are prearranged in media channels can legitimise powerful actions and ease changes at the collective level. However, they can also edge and shape the behaviours of individuals which are central to extensive social change — one s

In his book, “Look into the Stillness: A Spiritual Journey through Inspirational Quotes”, Donald L. Hicks argues, “It’s often been said that seeing is believing, but in many cases, the reverse is also true.

सोशल मीडिया के माध्यम से शांति

समकालीन समाज ने सोशल मीडिया का बोलबाला देखा है, जो उन सभी लोगों का मुखपत्र है जो अभिव्यक्ति की स्वतंत्रता की वकालत करते हैं। एक ओर, मुक्त भाषण ने सोशल मीडिया पर हानिकारक सामग्री और दुष्प्रचार को बढ़ावा दिया है, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप साइबरनेटिक संघर्ष हुए हैं – जो आभासी बातचीत से परे लोगों के जीवन पर गहरा प्रभाव डाल रहे हैं। दूसरी ओर, उसी सोशल मीडिया ने शांति के प्रचार-प्रसार का मार्ग प्रशस्त किया…

The Sinews of Peace through Social Media

Here is my latest Blog Post. Comments welcome!!

Contemporary society has seen the sway of social media, the mouthpiece of everybody who advocates free speech. Free speech, from one end, has led to harmful content and disinformation over social media, resulting in cybernetic conflicts — profoundly impacting people’s lives beyond virtual interactions.

SIGNIFICANCE OF DIVERSITY IN COMMUNICATION VIS-À-VIS POLITICS

Human rights are inherent in nature and can be freely enjoyed by all human beings without any sort of discrimination, for the sheer reason of one’s birth as human. This way, the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that came into force on December 10, 1948, meanderingly brings out the very concept of diversity.

AN EXPEDITION FOR TELANGANA STATE

Beyond doubt, no one in the present day is chastely one thing. Tags like Telanganite, Hindu, Indian, etc, are not over and above starting points, which if followed into an involvement for only an instant are quickly left behind. Imperialism amalgamated the combination of cultures and identities on a global scale. But its worst and most paradoxical flair has been to allow people to believe that…
