At this point of time, the whole world is facing a dreadful scenario because of the pandemic. Many countries had been into complete lockdown for a few months which included India too. Due to this we had to be quarantined.
So what is quarantine?
According to me, we all are suffering from a worldwide issue which is covid nineteen or in laymen language the new corona virus which is very harmful. This has caused a havoc all around the world and has affected more than a million people.
Though the mortality rate of this virus is quite low but it is very contagious and spreads a lot faster than even compared to a common cold.
So due to this terrible condition the countries in order to protect their citizens have announced lock-down which basically means that the whole world is under lock-down. This is where quarantine comes in, we the people are now quarantined which means we have to avoid social gatherings whatsoever and stay at home to follow social distancing. As this virus is new we don’t have any cure or say antidote for it as such till date.
In between this comes the role of media (worldwide) - media is a very powerful medium whether it be print media or the news or it be the social media. Media is already quite powerful and amidst this lockdown, it is helping people in conquering the situation. Due to the cases which are increasing consistently and at a very high rate, it is playing a critical role in mitigating fear among the people.
The disease itself is not that big of a deal but due to the reports and many claims it has created tension globally . Now talking about social media it is one of the most used form of media and due to everyone being on social media, there are plenty of opinions going around. Social media has started to play the role of courts during lockdown, so many people just share or say whatever they want and spread hate. I wouldn’t say that posting or writing about something bad is wrong but is it really our job to give punishments to each and everyone.
Are we seriously qualified and equipped enough to do such things and take action.
NO. we should act like responsible citizens. Whether we are adults teens or kids it should be our sole duty to respect the power of media.
Accept it or not media these days is not used as a medium instead it has started to be used as a weapon. In this situation people are not actually aware of what they are saying or sharing or what would be the consequences.
People have to stop targeting others and use this gift in a positive manner because as we all are aware each and everything has two aspects positive and negative but it is us who decide when and how to use it. We have to remember that negativity spreads faster in social media platforms.
The only thing we can do is stay at our home and thus protect the world. Now that we are quarantined what we should be doing is that we should do all the things we thought we didn’t get enough time for. Now is the time to develop new hobbies and to perfect the old ones. This is the time in which we can do whatever we want without any restrictions and now that we have ample of time we can invest our time to develop new skills, learn new languages and if you want to play games you can do that too. Now is the time we have our freedom and by doing such things by staying in our we are unknowingly contributing to the safety of the whole world.
Schools and colleges are also closed but is it something to be sad about, we always wanted holidays not in a restrictive time as now but still we should be looking at the positive side of this phase and do something productive and positive which would surely contribute to our world. Also we should be grateful and obliged that we are safe in our houses while the doctors and army officers are still working for us, the heroes which are fictional are not the real heroes but these people are the real heroes as they risk out their precious lives in order to protect ours.
What we should do is support our family in whichever way we can irrespective of the judgement and difference of opinions on the gender of the person. Whether it be a boy or a girl he or she should be willing to help the elders in the chores as there is no other hope of support from any other person other than the people from the family. We should act like responsible global citizens and help our mothers daughters and sisters in this chaotic situation so that no one is stressed out.This is the period where we are isolated and should help each other though it feels like we are trapped in our houses but we should be considerate enough to understand that we can overcome this problem only we stay supportive to each other and take in the measures for our own safety in order to help ourselves as well as others.
We should use this gift of media in a good manner as it is imperative to understand the situation at this point of time and we should act accordingly as all this has assuaged fear around the whole world.
All in all this is not the time to cry about things and make the problems even worse but it is the time when we should be strong and take all necessary measures to be safe and also we should invest our precious time to enlighten our self and add to our knowledge and at the same time do good to the whole world.
