the entire bathroom into a met 60. this is the water, birds, 1st swell. but one of the most beautiful moments i've ever experienced that a truth with a dock you series about our complex relationship with animals. well, i think i will live long enough to witness the end of factory farming. the great debate this week on dw, or just be yourself await scratch that be the coolest most interesting and ideally funniest version of yourself, at least whenever you posed on tactical instagram. but seriously, whose real life actually matches their social media? is authenticity even possible? that's a topic on shift today. ah, a, it seems authenticity is all the re dry now just look at the success of the up be real here. staged photos are discouraged. instead, users are prompted or the random time each day to snap a photo of whatever they're doing in that exact moment. no filter pictures really look pretty per se, but maybe that's not such a bad thing. many people are fed up with seeing perfectly curated life splashed across their feeds. the recent study evaluated more than 10000 facebook profiles and found that people feel better when they paused what they actually care about. psychologist sandra mots, explains why, if you think about society at large, again, this way of us interacting with one another and also looking to each other for what is normative for what is desirable. so if we compare it is real version of our lives to the idealized version of what everybody else looks, lives look like on social media. essentially, you kind of have this comparison that makes us feel pretty bad else about ourselves . and so this, this notion of, if we start posting martha antique lee as a collective and as a group, that would reduce some of these comparative bias as i like the sound of that. but how many people are really willing to post their real unfiltered lives online? well, one way to share the mundane part of our everyday lives is with humor. take a look at the stories. this influence from ecuador tells she has gained a large following by being true to herself. ah, nancy russell gives her followers glimpses into her daily life and the ecuadorian. andy's. her mother works on a farm. and her neighbors in the fields, her canter, reflections on facebook and instagram have found a huge audience. she has around 9 and a half 1000000 followers across her platforms, commitment and i love this life as an influenza. i love you. all. her videos are playful, imaginative, and funny. this to waynesville is been focused more on comedy and making people laugh. i really like comedy that people laugh and we're happy. little necessarily, i used them was phyllis is a stunning backdrop, a great sense of humor, and total ease in front of the camera. it's a winning combination ah, fiddled. i'm certainly blessed at the morning and i key, but simply being authentic doesn't ensure success. like this kind of constant combination of like, what is it that can do on your side to reach audience and to appeal to something that isn't out there? yeah. all right, so maybe that's a point, a perspective on the world that hasn't been captured and, but i'm sure that just as she is now very successful. there's probably a lot of other people who had like a similar story that something very similar. and they were just not picked up by the algorithms. i think it's this combination of offer something unique. and then also just have to be a bit lucky ah, confidence and thick skin are also important traits to have it. so as not to be brought down by negative comments, it is either we'll just go and i received many comments like that more at the beginning when people made fun of my appearance as an indigenous person and things like that in your mouth. a civilian political been i responded with human to show people that those comments don't affect me is less than i can turn them into a joke. this a level to stick with nancy russell strives to be her authentic self and do what she enjoys. regardless of what others say, joy magnolia, and more excited than ever because they'll be fulfilling another one of my dreams to have my own runway in my own style is the law no matter what she does next, nancy resort will stay true to herself. i love her attitude and her videos have definitely opened my eyes to a whole world. i might have never seen otherwise. ideally, these kinds of authentic live experiences from content creat us all over the world can enrich our global understanding this example from bangladesh. thus, just that, ah, with honey cartoon, is a cook in a small village from bangladesh. she is also something of a youtube stuck together with other women. she regularly cooks for the villages $1000.00 or so residents. they prepare a huge portions. people from around the world, watch them on youtube. the cooking channel has more than 4000000 subscribers. when i'm on playing cell, it's great that so many people love our videos that we're proud that even though we're poor, we're reaching so many people in cooking for our village gives us a sense of great accomplishment. i'm a medical ballet, la ah, the channel became popular through this clip of a 3 year old making fish curry. the video now has more than 93000000 views. cooking in front of the camera has now become the norm. but i'm on them. it doesn't make much difference to me whether i cook here or at home. we're all one big family, one loan. but the biggest difference is that with these huge portions, i can't just ask them one of there's enough salt in the food i moisten. what i have from this is, oh, let me come back, hide there. i think the very quiet in the village until about 6 years ago, then mohammed hussein's nephew started making videos of the fish market. the idea grew from there to the level we had at the time i wanted to film the villagers eating together at a picnic, new york where every one gets some food. we started with small amounts of rice overall, then more and more villagers came to share meal time with others. rugle elias. so many people around the world drawn to these videos, the psychologist sandra months has one explanation. it's just something that might be nice to watch is like outside of what you typically do during your day. and it's almost like this cognitive refuge that you can go to. and, and let you also know is like, this does collect of experience focus like once you have a 1000000 people watching, as it suddenly becomes part of something larger. the turner pays off financially to add revenue amounts to more than $1000.00 euros per week. something the whole village profits from it's great with stories like that, go viral and then directly benefit the people who tell them. social media has opened up new opportunities for women, especially whom marizza is one example. she's been sharing alive as a business woman and influence of for 10 years. she was a trailblazer in pakistan where women previously at little visibility online. hi, my name is amanda. i'm a social media influencer. i ran a youtube channel and instagram law. and i also have a platform and forecast by the name of happy to come that is our producers, both videos and podcasts at her company. she uses a few different studios for the productions and employ several people as a fema entrepreneur in pakistan. she said herself apart and found success. so when i started this instagram, blogging wasn't even a king in by august i just started. there was a lot of things that were missing on the internet. the. there were hardly any 1000000 going to have the dime. and i think i'm very proud of myself to have been one of the 1st few women to have been that way. and to normalize the guy as that day. it was art. today i'm not as i is empowering women in her home country to find their voice inviting them to speak on her blogs and tasks. and men and women work side by side in the studio. somebody must not so common in pakistan. i think one of the things that i'm eligible in my own place and position is that i need to inspire young women to think outside of the box and king beyond what dipping, dipping with every accomplishment. i'm not as i shows how she balances her career with being a young mother. her husband is supportive of her work. her ability to juggle her family life and manage her business has been an inspiration to some of her followers. one thing i would want the younger generation or younger women to know in order to pursue their passion is that you gonna wait for the right circumstances or the right time with one key to success seems to be standing up for what you believe in doing so can inspire others to ob, do to reform darker has done just that by taking the initiative to make his neighbourhood more beautiful on sundays up due to re takes to the streets of his neighbourhood and duck, hard to campaign for a cleaner and greenness city. boy, lassie, dwayne at day, settled in my eyes, civic engagement as something individual. everyone can do their part to keep a space in front of their home clean, sweeping, planting, trees, planting flowers. i don't think that needs a nationwide campaign to differ blah, son sepa, that will be the to listen. he goes over the years, his inspired his neighbors to join in light of do to raise on a mission to change the attitudes of

connected to people all of africa. with vision the saw and many young people have joined the green neighborhood challenge in africa. so we've got members in about 15 countries. all these people come from different places, burkina faso togo center, go. and chad, my message is to say to others, who did you can do the same with the samples. we've seen amazing, but let's not forget these are the exception, not the rule. the fact that i even became aware of them came down to algorithms and the whole lot of luck simply being authentic does not automatically guarantee success. and that can be a negative side too. well, if you are someone who kind of really nicely fits into what society thinks of as and as an ideal is very easy to be authentic. so if you're part of a marginalized group, that is much, much harder to do. so i think we also have to think a little bit about what are some of the limitations of authenticity and maybe by placing a lot of emphasis on his notion to be authentic. we're putting a lot of pressure on people who are probably having a hard time the college psychological safety. if you encourage to, if you courage, people to bring their full authentic selves to work on to wherever it is to social media. you also have to create the space where this is, this is possible and i think that's something that essentially does have to do. one of the things that i would love to do is essentially kind of have a way of putting content out there without necessarily everybody being able to common right away without the ability to see all of these likes and share it like shares maybe. but the essentially kind of take away some of the pressure, i'm just putting stuff out there and that is popular and without the pressure of necessarily getting this constant feedback. and whether that's good or bad. not a bad idea. after all, comments can often be destructive. in order to keep authenticity as a positive thing, i think we need key rules like robust community guidelines. what do you think that is? no. as off of the day, bye bye. ah ah. it packs a punch and has plenty of space. no ford f 150 lightning is a battery, electric horse power monster. we take a
