In today's world, where social media is king, and appearances seem to matter more than ever, the use of photo filters has become almost second nature to many. However, it's worth considering the ethical implications of this common practice and reflecting on our personal experiences with it.
My Experience with Filters
Personally, I don't use filters when taking pictures. I don't have a strong reason to use them, and I prefer to present myself as I am in reality. However, I understand that many people do choose to use filters, and I think it's essential to consider the reasons behind this choice and its potential implications.
Ethical Considerations
I believe there is a problem with using filters to enhance one's appearance in photos if it covers the entire reality. Slight filters might be acceptable, but too much filter can hide the truth and create a deceptive image. In a world where we are constantly bombarded with images of 'perfection,' it's essential to remember the importance of authenticity and honesty.
Deceptive Experiences
Unfortunately, I have been deceived by someone's picture on social media, only to find out they looked different when meeting them physically. This experience made me feel disappointed as it did not represent the whole truth, and as a result, I no longer trust pictures as much as I used to. It's a reminder that what we see online is not always an accurate reflection of reality.
Sharing with the Hive Community
I decided to share my experiences and thoughts on this topic with the Hive community as part of my participation in the Hive learners topic. I am interested in hearing other people's opinions on this subject and seeing if anyone has had similar experiences.
In conclusion, while it might be tempting to use filters to enhance our appearance in photos, it's important to consider the ethical implications of this practice and to be mindful of the potential consequences. Authenticity and honesty are crucial in a world where deception is all too common.
This is my participation on topic of Hive Learners called Filters.
When you take pictures of yourself, do you apply filter to make yourself look better? Do you feel there is anything wrong with this? Have you ever been decieved by someone's picture, only to find something else when meeting then physically? Please share your experience with us.
