Quote 1: Society of the Spectacle, Chapter 1
“For Debord the spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images”.
The spectacle Debord talks about is social media and the effects it has on people. In the present society, the utilization of social media entertainment has turned into a fundamental everyday societal norm. Social media is commonly utilized for knowledge of news and data, and direction. Social media is such a powerful tool that cooperation and business use LinkedIn to determine almost all of their employees. People obtain all of their knowledge from social media like the news.
Quote 2: An Illustrated Guide to Guy Debord’s ‘The Society of the Spectacle’
“Images influence our lives and beliefs on a daily basis; advertising manufactures new desires and aspirations”.
Growing up with social media entertainment is hindering one's confidence and perspective on their own body. With all these influencers on social media, people think they can look like them by editing their pictures or paying an insane amount of money for surgery.
