Present Continuous

when do we use " present continuous"?

For example:
we are being shown ( when we say it?) is it the same as we are showing? what are the difference?

thanks

Your question actually concerns the passive voice. We are being shown is the passive voice = someone else is showing something to us . This is the present continuous, used to indicate that the action is happeneing at the time the sentence is spoken.
