🌐 The Harsh & Drastic Impact of Social Media on Youth – A Wake-up Call from Nepal’s Experience

In just a decade, social media applications have gone from being “optional tools” to becoming an inseparable part of our daily lives. While they bring convenience, connectivity, and opportunities, we must pause and reflect on their unintended consequences, especially on our youth. Take Nepal as an example – a nation where once social interaction was deeply rooted in people, now faces challenges of excessive digital consumption. It’s as if small children, once taught moderation in sweets, are now exposed to unlimited access without boundaries. 📱 These apps – mostly originating from one republic – are designed to maximize engagement, often ignoring the fine balance between utility and addiction. Recent social media polls and public confessions reveal alarming trends: 👉 Sharemarket sluggishness over the past year 📉 👉 Gold prices skyrocketing 🚀 👉 Unprecedented geopolitical tensions 🌍 👉 Inflation reaching concerning levels 📈 According to popular media discourse, a single individual is often blamed for economic woes globally, yet paradoxically, that same individual and close associates seem to amass considerable wealth during these turbulent times. 🤝 Regardless of political stance, it is important to recognize that social media is not inherently bad. Like any tool, it depends on how we use it. However, awareness is key. Let us encourage mindful consumption, critical thinking, and a culture of moderation – especially among the younger generation. ⏳ Approx. 3 more years of critical global shifts lie ahead. It is our collective responsibility – as professionals, educators, and parents – to help navigate this path wisely. #DigitalAwareness #SocialMediaImpact #YouthResponsibility #Nepal #EconomicTrends #MindfulUse #LinkedInInsights

I am a young professional building a career in L&D and OD. Looking for roles with 3 years experience but finding it hard. NEED ADVICE PLS.

I have a masters in anthropology and my undergrad is in psychology. Worked for three years in two startup’s as part of their HR teams. I want to now move into a stable corporate firm (preferably large conglomerates). Are there referrals available? Any certifications you’d recommend? Should I invest in an MBA? I’m willing to take a pay cut and be patient and am a quick learner.

It’s as bad as they say it is

That’s it. This is the post. I’m at the point of exhaustion where I can’t even find the words to rant.
