As much as social media has managed to ruin our society, it plays a positive role for the public as well. Social media allowed people to use their networks as a form of reaching out to old friends and family across the world. With America being known as the melting pot of the world, our society has several people with family on the other side of the Earth. With social media in effect, this permits people to stay in touch with long lost loved ones and keep ties tight. Not only has it sanctioned friends and family to keep in touches but has granted people to relocate birth parents and unknown family members as well. Yes, social media has failed our society greatly but there is always a rainbow somewhere after a rainy day. Social media can play a positive role by bringing people back together.

Every time I visited my best friend, his mom would always make us pho and other Vietnamese dishes. Every student I would run into would give me an entirely new perspective on life and I am entirely grateful for that. In addition to this, I also grew up in the Information Age where computers were gaining popularity, and with the rise of computers came the rise of social media. My first experience with social media was creating a Myspace account when I was ten. Even today, I am still engrossed in social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and Snapchat, and I feel that it has allowed me to connect with the world. Before, I would just live in a bubble where I did not know what the world outside of California looked like. With social media and people all around the world sharing their stories, it definitely has made it easier for me to gain an understanding of the others’ lives. For instance, the Black Lives Matter movement swept the world as it blew up on social media.
