Social Medi A Major Impact On The World Today

Older generations don’t realize how much technology has affected this generation of teenagers, along with the social media that comes along with the technology. As stated in “How Social Media Changed Teens’ Lives Forever”; “Negative posts or comments also can do great damage to a teen’s self-esteem.” (Ashley Black, Thomas Atseff and Colleen Kaveney) While many parents think social media is just a way to connect with others, many teenagers take it for granted. For example, “quitting social media because it made her miserable and obsessed with appearing perfect online”, is what a teenager felt about social media and what it has done to her. Though many think that social media is a great way to connect, teenagers take it to another level.

Did you know social media can change you? Social media can cause problems with your health? In the article, “Student examines negative effects of social media on teens” by Aurelie Krakowsky and “The Upside of Selfies: Social media isn’t all that bad for kids” by Kelly Wallace talks about social media, but clearly it’s harmful to people. Social media is for people to enjoy on a daily basis and be updated on what is happening in the world; however it can be harmful to your health and even your education. It can lower kids self esteem and make them feel uncomfortable about themselves. It can also cause health issues and distant yourself from the people around you.

How many U.S. families are in thousands of dollars of debt due to the outrageous costs of healthcare? People are steering clear of medical attention that they know they need because they want to avoid this debt that they will inevitably get into. There is a solution for these people that need relief from their physical and financial problems. Socialized medicine is a system in which the government owns and regulates all aspects of the healthcare industry, which gives the common people a chance to get the medical attention they need.

Socialized Medicine and the Health Care Reform are two different types of Health Care programs. Socialized includes everything related to Health Care, where the Health Care Reform cover mainly health insurance and cutting cost. One form of socialized medicine is Great Britain National Health Service or NHS.

Social media has been known to help students develop important knowledge and social skills. “At first glance this may seem like a waste of time; however it also helps students to develop important knowledge and social skills, and be active citizens who create and share content.” (Chen 3). The more time teens spend on social media the more they become aware of their own social side and how to interact with others, especially their peers. “Some types of social media has beneficial effects, like helping adolescents establish some sense of identity and build networking skills” (Riley Davis). Too much time being spent on social media can also exploit teens to some harsh realities that they’ve probably never experienced in their lives before.

Socialized medicine, when the healthcare is provided by the government, has many benefits including: reducing Americans’ financial struggles, improving the American economy, and allowing Americans to live healthier lives The American people must support the creation of socialized medicine in the United States. The United States currently lacks any true form of socialized medicine. Obamacare and Medicare for All, Bernie Sander’s proposal for socialized medicine, are the closet systems the United States has to socialized medicine. Obamacare was estimated to save tens of thousands of lives by expanding the number of people with access to healthcare and prohibiting insurance companies from discriminating against people with existing conditions (Alter).

When used in the United States, the phrase ‘Socialized Medicine’ refers to the use of public funds rather than payment on an individual basis to cater for healthcare related services. The services covered under socialized medicine include hospital care, medical care and supportive care for the members of society in need of it. In other parts of the world, an equivalent of socialized medicine is universal health care. The setting up of a socialized medicine scheme in any nation is no mean feat, as it requires meticulous planning in light of the perceived advantages a well-working system presents.

We can now log into our Instagram or Twitter accounts daily and read offensive sexual comments or see publicized underage drinking which can leader the younger generation to think, “If everyone else is doing it then it is okay for me to do it”. Without us being aware, social media plays a negative role not only in my life but it has also become a larger social issue. For example, with the increase of social media there has also been an increase in cyberbullying which then has contributed to more people committing suicide. It is sad to think that what we chose to put on social media is beginning to define who we are, and being involved in sports/clubs on campus I feel it necessary to be a good role model to others. While I try not to care about what people think; I also try and be mindful of the type of example I am setting by remembering the morals my parents have taught

Firs let me start with the question of What is the reason that the united states, which indisputably is held out to be the greatest nation in the planet to live in by many and using many different standards, is the only western country that lack some form of socialized medicine? One main reason being that opponent continue to refer to any universal health care program as just that, socialized medicine without giving viewing it as important aspect in greatest country like U.S. The label alone is enough to prevent many people from supporting such an effort, without looking any deeper to the facts of the situation or the solution it offers. The connotation behind the expression socialized medicine is that it is a system that belongs in a communist run country. Socialized medicine refers to a health care delivery system where the hospitals are owned by the government and the doctors and other caregivers, whether in a hospital, office or other setting, are all government employees. And while I agree that this is not the system that would be effective for this country and our problems, we do need a system of universal health care for many reasons.

Communication barriers are not the only issue that has been brought on by social media. Extensive social media use has also been known to affect a person’s self-esteem. Some individuals suffer from a low self-esteem and limit themselves to social media in hopes to create a different image of them. According to Charles Cooley, “The thing that moves us to pride or shame is not the mere mechanical reflection of ourselves, but an imputed sentiment, the imagined effect of this reflection upon another's mind" (Morine, 2009). For some teens and young adults, social media may help them open up and achieve a higher self-esteem. On the other hand, social media on other teens and young adults may have a completely opposite effect. In an article titled, Is Facebook Making Your Child Depressed, it is stated that social media websites such as Facebook “can create a skewed reality that makes teens feel alienated” (PR, 2012). When a person, that is not completely happy with their life, goes onto social media and reads all about other people enjoying a multitude of activities and enjoying their lives this could

The government provides education, police, and fire protection, why not provide health care for the people? Universal health care coverage is coverage that is extended to an area. Every industrialized country has some form of a national system that provides health care for its people, except for the United States. This could be from a health insurance plan funded by taxation or it could be where all coverage is entirely paid for from taxation. The United States should provide universal health care to all its permanent residents.

After debating whether social media has a positive or negative effect on teens, it has been concluded that social media has a negative impact on the developing teenager. Social media can be a great tool at times, by being a means to communicate with friends, classmates, and family members; It can also help spread your ideas, hobbies and life experiences. But after reading the article Studies Offer Mixed Messages On Social Media’s Effects On Young People, By The Baltimore Sun, it explains how social media has a negative effect on teens by causing them to compete (to have a better social media feed), change their body to fit into society (the ideal body shape) and the way it can makes someone feel.

The mass media refers to means of communicating with large numbers of people without direct personal contract. The mass media is a major source of information and ideas. Theses can shape people’s attitudes and so some degree directs their behaviour. Mass media in this modern time industrial society is a powerful instrument of social control.

Recent articles describe the effects of social media on one’s life, specifically, social comparison. However, research on social media’s effects on adolescence is valid due to adolescents entering a major developmental stage for identity development, and they undergo rapid body changes at the same time commonly known as puberty (Nesi & Prinstein, 2015). Since teenagers are still children, their vulnerability to the social world increases as they compare to peers and learn many new norms and social scripts. Indeed, since they are transitioning from a child to adulthood, this can be increasingly difficult, as they must become accustomed to these norms and social scripts as they try to develop a social identity and undergo school stress. Young teenagers’ hasty decisions to develop their personal and social identity as well as adjusting to rapid body changes mentally and physically provide a negative influence on adolescence by affecting their life satisfaction, nutrition, and social life. Social comparison in social media has been an ongoing issue due to the many experts debating its negative effects finding that there is a positive influence: increased and easy social connectedness and that social comparison is a solution to end the obesity epidemic (Shakya et al, 2015). Despite its negative and positive effects, does social media, and social comparison has a stronger negative correlation than social comparison in an offline

Media spectacles play a very important role in today’s society. They often shape the mindsets of individuals and groups. Spectacles are specific and dramatic media events that deliver important messages to the public. Some examples of media spectacles include natural disasters, global pandemics, and in this summary, the main focus is political events. The author, Douglas Kellner, suggests how Barack Obama grew as a global super celebrity by using media spectacle. He argues how Barack Obama’s media techniques led the campaign in his favour in the United States’ presidential election of 2008 (Kellner, 2009). With much publication, broadcasting and advertising resources, Barack Obama was able to attract supporters through his culture and race.
