Why Social
Media???
Social
media is any website that allows social interaction. Social media is growing
rapidly throughout the world. More adults and teenagers are joining sites such
as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter to interact with friends, family, and
strangers. The introduction of social media has changed the world in many ways.
It affects each individual in different ways. Today it can be used as a very
helpful tool in changing a person’s life, but at the same time cause such
conflicts which can negatively impact a person. While there are some negatives
associated with social media, the positives in communication all around, has
made the world stronger and a better place to live in.

Social
media has many positive effects on the society. The introduction of social
networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have increased communication among
individuals. These websites serve as an important medium, keeping individuals
socially active. For example Facebook, allows people to communicate with each
other, comment on people’s statuses, join different organizations, play games,
and even instant message. This site allows for millions of people to keep in
touch with each other, and ultimately acts as a source of entertainment.
“Social media also allows contact with people from around the world.”
(“ProCon”) Using these websites can also increase a person’s computer
abilities. Using social media can also help people who have difficulty
socializing in person. Sites like Facebook allow “People who have difficulty
communicating in person feel more comfortable interacting via the internet”
(“ProCon”). Since there is a screen rather than an actual person, people feel
more protected and relaxed. This allows people to develop more confidence, and
communicate their thoughts over the internet rather than confronting the
situation. Social media
can also be a huge help to a lot of teenagers. It helps them search careers and
colleges that they could be interested in.

You
can express yourself, showing off your favourite song lyrics or posting
pictures of your new outfit. It is a lot harder to feel embarrassment over the
internet than in person, so people find it easier to vent their feelings on
sites like Facebook.
In fact, it has become so much a part of people's lives that you can
learn someone's life story just by checking their page. Their friends, likes
and dislikes, relationship status, phone number, address…everything.
