ansiedade depressão
vazio estes são os desafios que se
enfrenta na Trama complexa que se
Desenrola na sua vida nessa narrativa a
busca incessante por padrões irreais e a
constante pressão para se encaixar são
os elementos que moldam a história
ameaçando sua saúde mental hoje Vamos
explorar essa Trama pessoal onde a
realidade frequentemente se confunde com
a ficção e onde a busca por aprovação
virtual substitui a autenticidade hoje
você vai descobrir que nada disso é por
acaso E saberá que tudo isso é parte de
um sistema até o final do vídeo você
descobrirá que sua vida tem sido escrita
dirigida e produzida para que você aja
de acordo com grande
espetáculo
hoje mergulharemos nas reflexões
instigantes de gubor e sua obra A
Sociedade do espetáculo se você já se
pegou obsecado por um tênis que o
influencer da moda usava ou se sentiu
ansioso porque seu último post no
Instagram não recebeu curtidas
suficientes Então você está mais imerso
nesse mar do que você pode imaginar
Nesse contexto debor traz à tona uma
ideia que a primeira Vista Pode parecer
simples mas é de uma complexidade que
ressoa até hoje vivemos em uma sociedade
onde a representação ou seja as imagens
assumem mais valor do que a realidade em
si para debor tudo se tornou mercadoria
até mesmo nossas
relações ele argumenta que as interações
humanas estão sendo substituídas por
representações e o que isso significa
ora pense nos momentos momentos mais
importantes da sua vida quantos deles
você realmente viveu intensamente e
quantos estavam atrás de uma tela de
celular registrando para as redes
sociais a realidade se dilui e dá lugar
ao mundo mediado por imagens tweets
posts e likes foi em
1967 que debor publicou a sociedade do
espetáculo onde defende que a vida na
sociedade contemporânea se tornou um
espetáculo basicamente um show constante
mas não se trata de um show como the
town ou Rock and Hill estamos falando de
um espetáculo que transforma relações
humanas diretas em relações mediadas por
imagens lembram-se das selfies e dos
Stories Pois é as redes sociais são sem
dúvida um dos palcos principais desse
espetáculo um Palco onde a vida parece
ser perfeita quantos de nós já se
pegaram comparando suas vidas com o que
é postado por celebridades ou influencer
essa busca incessante Pela novidade por
ser o que as imagens mostram pode ter
sérias repercussões na nossa saúde
mental comprar torna-se não apenas um
ato de adquirir um bem mas um meio de
afirmar Nossa identidade de dizer ao
mundo quem somos ou mais precisamente
quem Queremos ser essa obsessão tem seu
preço ansiedade depressão ação de vazio
estamos constantemente correndo atrás de
algo que parece sempre está a um passo à
frente além das questões de saúde mental
a constante exposição às imagens e ao
espetáculo pode prejudicar a
autenticidade das pessoas a pressão para
corresponder às expectativas criadas
pelas redes sociais pode levar à
supressão de aspectos genuínos da
personalidade em prol de uma imagem
idealizada a necessidade de se encaixar
em certos estereótipos de moda
comportamento e pensamento pode limitar
a diversidade e a expressão individual a
busca incessante por novidades e o
consumo de imagens levam ao isolamento e
a fragmentação das relações humanas as
pessoas se tornam cada vez mais
solitárias apesar de estarem
constantemente conectadas
através da mídia filme interessante
sobre isso o dilema das redes disponível
na Netflix uma crítica profunda sobre
como as redes sociais moldam nossa
realidade o documentário ilustra
perfeitamente essa dinâmica mostrando
como estamos todos presos em uma tela de
algoritmos e estímulos planejados para
nos manter sempre querendo mais e
falando em novidades quem aqui já se
sentiu tentar a comprar aquela blusa da
moda só porque estava em alta Esse é o
jogo do consumismo estamos em uma
corrida sem fim para consumir e sermos
vistos se duvidar estamos até sendo
[Música]
usados livro para se aprofundar Delírio

através da comédia a obra traz a tona as
questões do consumismo esse moo
desenfreado Ou seja a influência das
marcas na construção de nossas
identidades agora mais do que nunca as
marcas não vendem produtos vendem
estilos de vida identidades prontas a
ser investidas a grande ironia é que na
tentativa de nos diferenciarmos acabamos
nos tornando todos iguais assim fala o
teórico sul-coreano byung churan e nisso
se vai vendendo padrões de consumo
padrões de comportamento padrões de
pensamento lembra daquele tênis que eu
mencionei lá no início por que eu
queremos tanto Será que ele nos define a
marca passou a ser um símbolo uma forma
de se encaixar de
pertencer música que dialoga com isso
wearing B find out algo como vestindo de
dentro para fora da banda britânica de
rock progressivo Pink Floyd uma reflexão
sobre isolamento e a busca por
autenticidade em um mundo cada vez mais
artificial debor nos deixa um alerta que
cabe a nós principalmente aos mais
jovens repensar nossas atitudes e a
forma como interagimos com esse
espetáculo a identidade não é algo que
se compra mas sim algo que se constrói e
nessa construção quem sabe podemos ser
os diretores do nosso próprio
espetáculo lembre-se de se inscrever em
nosso canal e me conta aqui embaixo que
atitude você pode adotar hoje para tomar
a direção do espetáculo que é sua vida
agora deixa eu te perguntar você já
conhece o FB online na nossa plataforma
de cursos online você encontra uma ampla
variedade de conteúdos incluindo aulas
de Filosofia e Sociologia com foco
obviamente na preparação para o
vestibular viha você também fazer parte
da comunidade tetra campeã em aprovações
do Enem a sociedade do espetáculo de
debor está mais viva do que nunca mas
como protagonistas deste espetáculo
temos o poder de reescrever o roteiro
cabe a nós decidir se seremos meros
espectadores ou se tomaremos as rédias
de nossas vidas buscando uma identidade
que vá além do consumo de imagens dizem
que um dos caminhos para encontrar isso
é através da arte mas esse assunto vai
ficar para esse vídeo que aparece agora
na tela até
[Música]
