Mimeme

Mimeme or also commonly known as Meme is a unit of cultural information as a concept, belief, or practice that spreads from person to person in a way analogous to the transmission of genes. Rather is known for a concept of behaviour that spreads from person to person. The term is most often associated with an image or video that portrays a particular concept or idea and is spread through social platforms on the internet. That idea proliferates through social media, forums, instant messaging apps and even news suite.Mimeme or meme was introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his work The Selfish Gene. The advancement of recent technology has brought the current generation of people closer to this culture of creating a meme. It sees the massive transformation from good messages and motivational quotes to negative criticism, body shaming and vulgarity. This culture results in discomfort to many people, especially when harming an individual in certain areas such as politics, celebrities, professionals and many others. There is not much could be done by the cyber authorities due to the weak reason to punish against the creator. However, the correct usage of technology including meme would be able to create awareness, motivates people and produce a good outcome. So I arrived with the idea to construct a column called "Mimeme" to send my messages to the readers. A brief description followed by the pros and cons or how to carry out certain messages outlined in the article. Those memes are self-created from a website called ImgFlip(https://imgflip.com/) aim to spread positivity and manage negativity that life has in store. My sincere apologies if my messages or sharing hurts anyone. I hope you will be benefiting from this column to nourish your personality into a new standard!
