The contemporary society has suffered the cursing benefit of the global connection and the information technology that allows for the ease of communication in a fast mode and indeed, in a real time manner. The progress, though widely welcome and changed the society in significant measure over the last decade, has come with curse to the same society that it has helped change. The curse or challenges of instant communication specifically are numerous and wide in range and scope but this paper will limit itself to the jurisdiction of critical thinking and deep reflection on issues with the Jesuit perspective in the issues.
The Jesuit perspective has a strong foundation of seeing God in everything they do and as Fr. Adolfo puts it, "exercising an imagination which grasps reality and involves a refusal to let go until we get beneath the surface." Social media has provided platform where people share their thought and also allows other people from all over the world to give their thought on the shared thought. This has seen many people sharing and talking to people from all corners of the globe, people giving suggestions to people from across the world. Sadly, the suggestions given in response and the thoughts expressed on social media rarely have any serious...
They do not seek to see the underlying meaning in the words expressed before they respond and their response is not in any way try to bring out the reality in the contemporary society in line with the Jesuits perspective. Since most are casually expressed without proper research and reflection on the effect that the piece of advice or update given on social media may have on the person reading it in a different part of the globe, they do not seek to show the face of God in their arguments or responses. This lack of Godliness has led to harsh consequences in various occasions with the person getting societal reprimand, rejection by pees and even institutions, costing one the dignity they deserved and in some cases having to come face-to-face with the legal proceedings due to the postings done on social media. For a piece written that is meant to go social and global to cause such unforeseen consequences, it is apparent that there was no serious reflection made before the individual posting the material online. The reason for the lack of serious reflection and critical thinking is the lack of time to carry out some research or consider what one is about to say and lack of looking beneath the mere words that one writes and this is because the social media does not have prudence…

Social media-Facebook Media is an important tool of communication or instrument of passing round significant information. Some examples of media that comes to mind anytime one mentions the word are radio and newspaper, however there are other mediums of communication that pass for media such as the magazines, supplementary, guides, flyers, banners and catalogues among others. Of late there has emerged a rampant use of social media as a tool of
This is not to imply that social media is responsible for our current issues. However it does not take a great leap of the imagination to see that society is becoming reconnected in a different, electronic way, and personal connections and interactions are suffering. Fr. Nicolas asserts that because of a lack of imagination empathy is lost. One can also see this as a manifestation of greed and situational ethics

Yet, many would also argue that confidence is the most attractive social attribute, almost regardless of

In fact, the truth in most families appears to be quite opposite: namely, the holiday season is the time that most people associate with their highest degrees of stress that highlights and exacerbates long-standing family conflicts and feuds.
