How memes can be harmful to humanity?

Everything has a boundary when something exceeds its boundary its existence becomes awful and vulnerable. Same as memes are breaking their limits and becoming fatal for human culture but how? Let me tell you.

  1. It spreads disinformation and false news of people that even have no existence like a wildfire due to this people don’t believe and have insecurities with each other.
  2. Daily life jokes and fun can change human behavior devastatingly towards society.
  3. Moral values are being under attack by memes as it destroys norms such as respect for elders.
  4. Technology is gaining strength by people’s hands which doesn’t allow people to hide their identity and they are targeted, in short, there is no more existence of privacy.
  5. People relates their life to memes which lead them to dismay and sadness.
  6. Some people are antisocial and they are afraid of using the internet they just don’t want to indulge themselves in an absurd and unimportant world which can cause a loss of confidence in them.
  7. Any person who is part of the meme can be affected mentally as well physically.
  8. If we don’t manage our culture, someone will. Ideas, social behavior, traditions, and custom makes a society, little ignorance in culture can open the way to a wrong society that would respond to a change in behavior towards loved ones.

Many other factors can also be fatal to our society related to memes which should have to be effective and informative for a good nation.
