Social Media; We are alive. | Sadra Mohaqeq | TEDxBaladshapur

Fri Sep 12, 2025
individual’s first experience interacting with people from different regions, the history of social relationships in Iranian society, and the meaningful presence of Iranians on social media. Social media offers benefits such as improved communication, cultural exchange, and public engagement. However, its impact on Iranian society. Sadra Mohaqeq, an Iranian journalist born in Dehdasht, has over a decade of experience in leading national newspapers such as Shargh, specializing in social and environmental issues. He currently serves as Head of Communications and Public Relations at Divar, and is active across various social media networks. Mohaqeq’s work often explores the transformation of cultural interactions in Iran. He believes that for those of us who grew up in rural and sometimes remote areas, in the 1980s and 1990s, meeting people with different cultures and traditions required crossing mountains and navigating winding,at a time when vehicles were scarce. Today, in the modern era, we can sit at home and, through the vast “digital highways,” directly and instantaneously encounter people from across Iran and the world, with their diverse cultures and customs. He questions what this profound transformation has done to us, and whether its effects have ultimately been beneficial or detrimental. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
