Abraham Maslow's theory on the Hierarchy of Human Needs suggests that people are motivated to fulfill a set of basic

needs arranged in a hierarchical order, presented as a pyramid with five levels: Physiological, Safety, Love and
Belongingness, Esteem, and Self-Actualization Needs. Maslow sees individuals capable of self-actualization and
becoming fully functioning people.

Eric Berne's theory on Transactional Analysis is often used in therapeutic approaches, based on the premise that human
behavior is shaped by three ego states: Parent Ego State (P), Adult Ego State (A), and Child Ego State (C). Transactions,
interactions between individuals, can be understood by analyzing the transactions that occur between these ego states.

Ludwig Von Bertalanffy's General Systems Theory is a conceptual framework providing a general perspective and
principles applicable to various disciplines, emphasizing the commonalities and interconnectedness of diverse systems.
Key points include Holism, Open Systems, Goals, Feedback, and Cybernetics. This theory is important for understanding
the complexity of systems and their interactions.

Kurt Lewin's Change Theory is represented by the three stages of unfreezing, changing, and refreezing, providing a
framework for understanding and implementing change within individuals and organizations. It emphasizes creating
readiness for change (unfreezing), implementing the change effectively (changing), and solidifying the change to make it
a lasting part of the organization or individual (refreezing).

Erik Erikson's Psychosocial Development Theory spans the entire lifespan, identifying eight stages of psychosocial
development. Successful resolution of these crises leads to the development of virtues and a healthy personality,
emphasizing the interplay between social and psychological factors.

Lawrence Kohlberg's Moral Development Theory proposes distinct stages of moral reasoning throughout an individual's
life, organized into three main levels: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional morality. The theory
emphasizes how moral reasoning evolves, ranging from personal consequences and social norms to universal ethical
principles and individual rights.

Enframing, as explained in the article, is how technology shapes our perspective, treating everything as a tool and
simplifying them to their practical value. The article delves into the signs of enframing in the digimodernism era, marked
by the widespread use of digital technology, and highlights potential risks in the digital age, particularly regarding the
possible loss of personal and shared identity. For instance, individuals might fixate on success, beauty, and perfection
influenced by the digital world, resulting in a loss of identity and human qualities. The three observed signs of enframing
in modern society include treating others as objects for pleasure, reducing relationships to social value, and lacking
critical thinking when confronted with widespread ideas.

The paper recognizes the advantages of modern technology, but it also tackles the need for awareness of its potential
consequences in our lives and its impact on human identity. The main message is about the risk of forgetting what
fundamentally makes us human. For me, the statement suggests that in the pursuit of conformity and being "special,"
we may overlook ordinary and beautiful aspects of life, compromising their happiness by adhering to a norm that implies
uniqueness or specialness is essential for worthiness, ultimately resulting in the loss of personal identity.

The article argues that the collective influence of social media often leads people to quickly adopt new ideas without
critical thinking or internalizing values. Building on Heidegger's philosophy of technology, it contends that technology,
especially in its digimodern form, has not just become a tool controlled by humans but is now controlling humans. The
danger lies in the shift from treating everything as objects to a state of enframing, where individuals themselves become
absorbed and altered by technology. Hence, it warns us to not forget about the human essence and idenity, and not be
thrown or become an oblivion being.
