Social Media is a very innovative way of communication by which one can share his or her views, information, ideas, interest etc. Even it is vastly used by every generation from a school going kid to a retired person. In earlier times, people had newspaper , T.V. news report or pamphlets only by this means people used to communicate and also due to limited use of internet people were not able to give their views as well but with the arrival of new media such as Google, Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook now people are aware of what is going around the world even now they can easily share their views as well. Modern social media is user friendly.
With the intervention of social media, one can see a huge change in society as well. It has changed the thinking of people. The society is developing. Every individual is seen raising his/her voice by the means of social media.
It has been rightly said that each individual is empowered to act as a reporter and a journalist. As the people on social media they always come up with their or others stories . And that’s the job of a journalist and a reporter is. So we can say that every individual who is active on social media does the job of a reporter or a journalist. Owing to the ease of access to information facilitated by the Social Media, individuals' exposure to multiple languages is becoming increasingly frequent.
Being a multlinguist, yes I can make a difference in a society. As learning two languages helps me getting know my culture, people better as I experience two different world that has truly a worldly vision.
It has been rightly said by Charlemangne,” to have another language is to possess a second soul. ”
As I said above also journalist is one who writes about his or others views, ideas, interest etc. Being a citizen journalist one can effectively use his/her language skills. For instance, living in India and learning a foreign language can have a great impact in one’s life as well. Getting knowledge of other language other than your native language one need to indulge in other culture as well. By this one can easily see the difference between theirs and our society as well. By this way one can advance people’s mind or thinking and also develop their society as well. In Europe, almost entirely people have knowledge of other language also other than their native language and the results we can see how advance and modern their economy is.
So In this way we can see that how being a multlinguist can one see the difference and also accomplish transformation in their society as well. Even an ordinary man can also raise his voice with the help of multi linguist skills.
