Social Networking

Starting with the positives of it, it can help you get into a relationship and make new friends by finding people that share common interests. With friends social media keeps you in touch but you tend to not see them face to face because it’s easier to talk thru social media. I think that’s pretty sad but with family it’s different. Most of my family don’t live in California so social media is the only for sure way to talk to them. So with family it’s usually positive because it connects to family you can’t see face to face. According to Brian Solis in his article, "People Use Social Networks to Connect with Friends and Family, Sometimes Brands," “70% of adult social networking users visit the sites to connect with friends and family.”(12) But like I said friends who you can see face to face with just a short drive; you don’t see because of social media. There has been many articles that talks about how social media was designed to bring people together, but it has only made them feel more alone. As for intimate relationships, social media has probably become the number one way people start dating. Social media lets you just sit a wait for someone to message you or for other applications you wait for a match. Social media is great for find new relationships but when you're in a intimate relationship it only causes problems and brings about jealousy. In most situations if a relationship doesn’t work out it wasn’t meant to be but in some situations a relationship could have work if not for social media. Still my point stands if you want social media to be positive it can be, but if you can manage it then it is seen as a negative thing. It all comes back to self control and self discipline with social

First, social networking removes a lot of face-to-face interaction among individuals. This effectively creates less social beings that rely on social networking for communication and are less competent when it comes to in-person interaction. Social networking also allows for a sense of anonymity, which creates reckless morals and gives people the ability to say harmful things with no consequence. Finally, social networking is a major distraction and a huge waste of time. Children and adults often opt to spend their time on social networking sites rather than being productive members of society. These problems continue to get worse and will escalate if they are not addressed and solved immediately

I agree with Mizuko Itos words about it is a good way for young people to pick up the technical and social skills they need to be competent citizens in the digital age, because a lot of people can easier get to known each other. It is easier for people to learn unknown culture, religion, traditions and language. I think we can learn many things, we easily can use in a smart way, from different races of humanity. In another way, it can be very dangerous to be active in social networks, because hackers and bad people in world easier can get into your computer with a virus or a malware.

Social networking sites allow you to connect with old friends from high school, family that lives far away, in my case, even in another country as missionaries, friends down the street, coworkers, and just about anyone else you can think of. This can make you feel more connected to the world around you. You can keep up with what everyone is doing and accomplishing in their lives very easily through statuses and pictures posted every day. I have met new family members, whether by marriage or by birth, through Facebook who I otherwise have not had the opportunity to meet. One of my uncles, who recently passed away, had an affair about thirty years ago and did not

Social networking has become a major part of society. Many people wake up each day and check social media websites specifically throughout Twitter and Facebook first thing in the morning instead of reaching for a newspaper. Since people are spending such a large amount of time surfing social networks, it is important to point out some of the positive and negative effects that social networking can have on a society. The positive effects of social networking sites are allow people to create new relationships and reconnect with friends and family. Increased communication, even online, strengthens relationships. And the other   is social networking sites make people share everything that they want and   bring people with common interests together, offer exposure to new ideas from around the world, and lower inhibitions to overcome social anxiety.

Social networking has also made it easier to be carefree and human by possibly finding romance and potentially meeting a husband or wife on any social network. Lastly, social media can also be used when you opt to participate in a social network community, also you can pick and choose those individuals whose likes and dislikes are similar to yours and build your network around those commonalities.

I choose this topic is because more and more job seekers will go on social media to search for job. Even employers are putting recruitments advertisement on social media. Even like some of the jobs looking for admin staff, telemarketing staff and even sales staff the employer will just post on facebook and ask job seekers to contact them or send resume through their email address. Social media is a rising and evolving force within recruitment and resourcing. Firms are using the tools, despite the lack of knowledge, awareness and strategy and for differing reasons.

The first statement is social media can create unnecessary problems in people’s lives. The article Negative Impact of Social Networking Sites, written by social network manager Danielle Reed, outlines some of these problems that can develop. Some of the issues the article brings up are, “diminishing privacy”, “depression, substance abuse, poor sleep patterns, suicide”, “poor academic performance”, and “less face-to-face interaction which also makes them more dependent on

Although using social networks can be fun, there are also downfalls to it. Lots of people misusemiss use the internet in a bad way and a good way. Through using social networks, cCommunication is very simple and fast. Now that the internet is so fast and easy, everyone relies on it. There can also be bad things that come out of using it like cyberbullying. and hate. People need to be more careful to think about what happened on the internet and how they respond to it.

Along with positive impacts social networks have negative effects like if one is careful, unscrupulous people can target you for cyber bullying and harassment on social sites. School children, young girls, and women can fall prey to online attacks which can create tension and distress. If someone is not careful, what you post on the Net can come back to haunt you. Revealing personal information on social sites can make users vulnerable to crimes like identity theft, stalking, etc. It can affect drastically on their professional, social and private

Transition: The use of social networks are proven to be advantageous so we will talk

Technology in terms of social networking plays a vital role in maintaining a long-distance relationship. A research in the Cyber Psychology, Behavior, and Social Networking compared the role of Social Networking Site in a long-distance romantic relationship (LDRR) and in a geographically close romantic relationship (GCRR). The authors came to a conclusion that “Individuals in LDRR were more likely than individuals in GCRR to use SNS for relationship maintenance by using SNS to express their involvement and to gauge their partner’s involvement… For LDRR couples, because of a lack of physical and social means to perform and experience relationship maintenance processes, the findings suggest that SNS is an important alternative” (Billedo et

In today’s fast moving society many people rely on social media to get news quickly or send messages to friends. Social media has evolved from a tool used every so often to being relied upon by people every day. With people becoming so reliant on social media there have been concerns of whether or not it is good for society as a whole. By its definition social media means “forms of electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (as videos)”. (Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, n.d.) The word social implies relationships and human interaction according to Alfred Adler

Social Networking has many effects on people’s personal lives. It can transform a small perspective into a view point looking into many different angles of ideas. Over time social media has changed; it’s made a drastic impact on society & has improved tremendously. When the word social networking comes to mind I think of bettering. You can further your education using social networking. Promotion of businesses and entrepreneurship opportunities have also been major keys that social media has been used for. Some people may have a negative outlook on this, not thinking of how it can be used it a positive manner. Without social networking… life would be very different and it may even be more difficult to get knowledgeable information from the internet.

Firstly, Social media is most common among the youth as they tend to take full liberty of the facility. Relationships make or break with a click of a button. If there is an argument within two friends, they are most likely to unfriend each other from Facebook rather than talking out the issue by meeting in person. Even if they want to talk about it, they do so on the text. This results in exhibiting inauthentic feelings against each other due lack of conveyance of thoughts through facial expressions. In support, Whitty (2003) found that if a partner 's computer is left accessible or a spouse 's password is known, partners will often engage in investigatory behaviors that lead to the discovery of infidelity activities. Social networking sites such as one of the most popular sites, Facebook, also introduce a potential to misinterpret messages and provide access to users to post messages on another 's profiles, comment on one another 's photographs, send private messages, and chat online. Numerous relationships are broken due to the urge of implementing such acts on better half’s account [2]. Moreover, such websites create a pathway for the youth primarily to covey false expression of feeling and lifestyle. Most teenagers have a tendency to boast about their belongings or expensive lifestyle, this feeling is conveyed to their friends by posting materialistic pictures of their possessions or upmarket events they
