Netflix, The addiction and positive impact

Netflix, Inc. is an American media-services provider and production company with over 182 million paying streaming subscribers worldwide, in the first quarter of 2020.

People don't subscribe to streaming services to get access to “all movies,” or even a large portion of them. No one offers that. But Netflix offer great original content, a good selection of other content, and an easy and accessible way to get entertainment. So more content Netflix produced, the more subscribers it attracted. That is why Netflix become so popular.

With it's popularity, many show and movie Netflix created get trends on worldwide. Netflix has become the definitive app for watching movies and TV by many and it changed the tv game. Since then, the terms "binge-watch" and "Netflix and chill" have entered the cultural lexicon.

Netflix also generate an addiction, especially on Netflix series. For example lets look at the cultural phenomenon “Stranger Things”. If you have Netflix this is a new show that you now are binge watching all weekend giving Netflix all of your time and energy. It prove the addiction of Netflix shows.

But, does Netflix has an actual positive impact? The answer is yes. Netflix show has an actual positive impact such as body positivity, self-love, feminism, diversity, and self-development. Some of Netflix shows also paving the way for people to discuss some of several issues. For example, the reaction of people on 13 Reason Why. Since the first season released, the show has catch many comments and critics especially from psychologic expert. The expert found out that the series doesn't help prevent suicide. Ijeoma Oluo described the series as “the ultimate fantasy of teen suicidal ideation". So despite of preventing suicide, the shows has triggered high level of emotional distress and may influence teenager to attempt suicide.  As MollyKate Cline write in teen vogue, "the audience is shown what not to do without example what they actually should do". But despite of every comments on 13 Reason Why, Netflix able to maintain the show until the last season four as they also pay attention on the guidance for their audience and provide them with a crisis helpline. 13 Reason why also successfully sending a positive message by the end of the show in season three and season finale. Although i have to admit it was really painful to watch the first and second season, but in the end Netflix able to give the audience a positive message about how to learn let things go and self-development.

The New Normal

Life is scary. 

After what happened this year, it was really get scarier.

People are worry, people are scary, and people died. 

But we need to life anyway. 

We need to survive. 

And this isn't the first time anyway

I am not going to talk about the Spanish flu, it was a hundred ago anyway. 

But I am going to talk about HIV/AIDS which start in 1981 and still killed people till today. 

At the first time we scared and worried and chaotic everywhere. 

We scared to go to public toilet, try to not make sexual contact with anyone we didn't sure their sexual history yet. But then everything is just being normal. It is normal to use protection while we having sex, it is normal to get tested for HIV/AIDS. 

Otherwise HIV is not the only disease which transmitted by sexual intercourse. But hey, do people really stop doing sex after 1981 ? Hell no. 

In fact we are more aware of our body, of what could happen to us due to normal activities like having sex. It's also increase the morality to not having sex before married, in the early 2000 there is a purity ring which represent commitment of some people to not having sex before married, which is good. 

In 2020 we have this Novel Coronavirus which is still killing people till today. 

As same as the other pandemic, people are scared. Suddenly being sick because of flu and fever make us panic. And when people get tested positive, it was like ignominy. People trying to hide it because it was ashamed, which is why this virus just increasingly spread. But they need to learn that there is nothing to afraid of getting tested. And there is no need to feel ashamed of having some disease. Because it is normal. We are human, even a robot can get a virus, like Sobig worm or Mydoom. 

Today, I learned that there is no need to be scared off. 

At some point it is normal to get to a hospital get all those medical check up,so why now it is so scary? 

I want to encourage people that it is normal to get a rapid test or a swap test.

It is absolutely okay if you are get infected. There is a lot of people who going to support you. 

This is how people live anyway. We got tested for some virus, we got medical check up to know if we are okay, do our body doing okay? Some people sometimes got tested for mentally check up, do we mentally health? or is it something wrong that we didn't know. 

Because if we didn't check, if we didn't get tested, how do we know that we are okay? 

And if it's too late then there will not be a second life isn't it? 

it is important to us to care about our health, body and soul. 

it is also important to us to start living a healthy life. 

Well of course not to ditch junk food, because it is good for hormones and mood (LOL)

But get a balance, get any other healthy way to maintain. 

Because your life worth it.
