Read the essay question, then read the answer. What does the write think about social media
Over the last few years there has been a massive increase in the use of social networking sites
Due to this increase, there is the opinion that overuse of such sites can have many negative effects. However, I think that there are also many positive effects, as the world is now becoming a global village with which we can communicate easily
Social networking sites help to reduce the communication gap between close friends and family as well as with people who live a long way from each other. These sites allow people to interact quickly and effectively. They also enable people who share the same interests and ideas to communicate even though they may live in different parts of the world. This has meant that social networking sites have created a fairer world not limited by geography
Some people think that excessive use of scrial media can have a negative impact on both societies and individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this
However, such networking sites have also had a negative effect on communities and societies As it is usually younger people who spend most of their time on these sites, this has resulted in their health suffering. In addition, families are affected as relationships between the generations have weakened. Many people are hooked on these websites and do not communicate outside of virtual realities. It is also easy for people to be negatively influenced by fake information. In summary, people have definitely become more social and interactive as a result of using such websites. They create freedom for people to talk to they want with very few limitations. On the other hand, these sites have created distance as people are unable to make friends with the people around them nd instead rely on misinformation
