I am a writer and journalist and work in the field of media, and today I decided to devote my experience in this field to present courses and advice to society in the field of heart and chronic diseases. Will I allow me the relevant authorities to this? Will those in the media allow me to offer people things that are not from my specialty, nor have I knowing it? Will the Ministry of Health or the Profession Regulatory Authority allow me to say what doctors and scientists say? The answer must be no, but I do not know whether there will be a reaction or whether it will pass the honorable passage.
What leads me to this question is what I see these days on various platforms from personalities that I do not know how to describe them, have spent many years of acting and drama, and then suddenly appear in front of society as experts in nutrition and health. We do not know, and no one knows, have they spent their free time in a serious scientific study, or whether what they provide is merely copied information from one account to another as many people of the content theft do? The danger here is not only in the correct or wrong information, but also that it is issued by people that people think of the conscious or influential class, so they receive their words without hesitation, and they may apply it to their health and bodies.
On the other hand, we find among the social media community personalities that were distinguished by their real specialization and were sincere for what they are good at, including those who excelled in electronic games, and some of them created in the kitchen, and some of them carried the passion of tourism, travel, literature and poetry. These people appreciate them because they presented their content with what they know and innovate in it, whether it is the fruit of practical experience or academic study. But the imbalance begins when the busts are mixed with Nabeul, so the singer turns into a presenter of cooking lessons, the photographer into a lecturer in hunting birds, and the chef to a tourism expert, and here the confusion begins and the consequences appear.
Perhaps the clearest example of what one of the chefs did in her travel to one of the Asian countries, where all its content on that town was a criticism of the lack of hygiene, bad treatment and noise. An innocent question, why did you put yourself in this situation? Such actions are harmful only to the image of the society from which it came out. Bahrain is a sophisticated and humble country, which is not appropriate for its sons to show asleep opinions that transmit a negative image of people and the country. Specialization is valuable, and awareness is valuable, while tampering with the majors is a waste of the two values together.
The social media space is not a luxury without control, but it needs a real reset, and the laws that keep pace with the development of the stage. Every time has its systems, as recently happened with the new traffic law, which came in harmony with the development of infrastructure and the increase in traffic. Therefore, the need is urgent today to put strict control over every content maker who puts the name of Bahrain in his personal file, so that his representation of the image of the homeland is not distorted or negative.
