Is Selfie a Terrorist?
Selfie is a photo which is taken without someone’s helping,
usually using second camera and self-faced shot. Nowadays selfie becomes very
popular especially on Instagram social media. Some Instagramers love to take a
selfie photo and mention that selfie is their mood booster.
Selfie is very needed every time, every where and every
occasion. One of many reasons why selfie becomes phenomenon is because of show
off addiction. The increasing of gadget users, social media users and open
minded mindset to join in every kinds of social media without much worried
about the negative impacts have made them uploading their photos freely. Many
of them do not only upload their best photo but also every photos that
they have snapped are uploaded, especially the most stunning pose nowadays is
selfie. Everyday timeline of my Instagram account is full of selfie photos, I
do not know why many people love to take a selfie photo very often. Is selfie
very needed? What’s going to be wrong if you don’t take a selfie photo in a
day?
Salfie Can be Analyzed Based on Islamic Side
As a Muslim I try to apply this phenomenon according to my
belief then some prediction responses appear relating to the selfie. Taking a
photo then uploading it on Instagram is very easy, it would not spend a lot of
time. The followers also are very easy to deliver their comments of your photo,
it could be praises and also critics. The responses might be written or not, it
could be a judgment to you. The first norm of taking a selfie is ”I am sure I
am good looking, so I should upload my good selfies as many as possible in
order to convince everyone and then they will agree and see that I do good
looking”, the second is “I am not sure I am good looking, because of that I
upload all of my best selfies so my followers will be able to help me convince
myself that actually I am good looking”, the third is “I sure that I am not
good looking, because of that I do with my effort to take the best selfie in
order to get some praises that sometimes I am nice to be seen”. Which one you
are? Every norm of your selfie should be known that when a selfie is snapped
and then uploaded, we do not have a control anymore to make sure that the
selfie photo is free from many kinds of calumnies and then the hackers’
criminalization. Even though by privacy your account can not give a certainty
to be shacked or not. The best selfie norm is I am sure I am beautiful or
handsome, because I realize and thank that this is the best gift from Allah to
me. So I should not do any kinds of selfie to be judged and seen by others
because I prefer to worry about slandering.
Selfie is a Stunning Habit
Instagram addiction is raising, instagramers are increase
because of the gadget users are also massive now. Why Instagram? Because
Instagram is a social media in which you can upload photos as freely as you
want, you are also able to mention some writing under your photo and then share
to the other social medias such as facebook, twitter, tumblr and flickr. It’s
very simple way, then why selfie which becomes stunning habit on instagram now?
Every instagramer has own reason why do selfie, one common reason and often
mentioned by my friends on Instagram is selfie as their mood booster while
waiting, boring, and bad feeling. I guess they were very good looking, because
by seeing their selfie would make their mood better. Another reason why
do selfie is that’s very stunning photo snap now, even Prince William ever did
the selfie. He did selfie with a little girl on last Christmas celebration, it
became hot issue about selfie and the prince. Does Prince William who make the
selfie popular? It could be. Psychologist and Director of Media Psychology
Research Center Dr. Pamela Rutledge said that “Someone’s needed to do selfie
then upload it on a social media and get responses or many ‘likes’ is human
biologic instinct.” Some research mentioned that selfie is not modern habit or
done by modern people. The very first selfie was taken on 1839 by Robert
Cornelius. At the time social media and internet were not well known as today,
people who did selfie on 19s just collected as their personal collection photo,
they did not upload on Instagram because there was not Instagram at the time.
The word selfie also gets attention more in the early last two years, the
word ‘selfie’ is very common word to be used on social media, and then the word
is included on Oxford dictionary of November 2013 edition because of its
popular using.
The selfie phenomenon can not be popular as well as we now
nowadays without social media addiction and a smartphone, sometimes a
smartphone takes the users smarter and also be controlled by the smartphone.
People who can not control their needed of smartphone will not enjoy the
smartphone itself. It means the boss are the smartphone, social media and
selfie. Is it wise? Absolutely it is not, human should not be a noun’s
assistant. Smartphone is made by human, so as the creator we should know to use
it wisely. We should not follow all social media habits which are stunning
directly, we should take our brain with it. Especially instagramers who love
uploading a selfie as free as they want with using GPS, so the followers will
be able to know exactly where you are. Many of us take this case easily, it
could not be a simple problem at all. We should realize that many hackers are
spying on us. Both criminalization and calumny are something that we do not
expect to happen. It means we should aware and do some anticipations, one of
anticipations which will be able to keep us in save place from calumny is not
often do selfie. For criminalization anticipation is by turning off GPS while
uploading a photo, it is very simple way to be done but many people do not
aware about it. Both selfie analyzed based on Islam and is stunning habit
are two contras cases, we already know selfie is not wise according to Islam
because it could make calumny and invite hacker. The second one is selfie is a
stunning habit now, as an instagram user we realize selfie is very popular so
if we do not do selfie means we are out off date about snapping photo. We
already know both of the predictions, we should take our brain and heart to
chose the best one to be followed. In my opinion if we use only our brain we
will do the stunning habit on social media, but we should take our heart
with it.
