Aesthetics Perceptions of Social Media Generations

Abstract

This chapter aimed to investigate the online value and behavior transfer of generations who use social media with the phenomenon of aestheticization. By examining the social media generations' preferences, usage habits, the levels of acceptance of differences and the effects of social media use on the work life in the light of researches, generations' togetherness and differences on the online network are revealed. In social networks, generations can provide power by affecting each other's moods, and can easily impose violence, aggression, and power factors on others by making fun. When compared to older generations, the fact that young generations prefer social media environments that are with more photo and video sharing makes for them to produce/consume many emotions that have been made usual with aestheticization, especially the information that contains violence. At the end of this chapter, some suggestions are made including family communication and trust model named “5S+1M.”
