Social Networking

Are social networking sites good for our society? Nowadays it seems as though social networks are what make our society. It 's the 21st century and the world is modernizing more and more everyday. Technology is becoming more advanced and researchers are debating on whether or not we should which to e-books instead of the good old textbooks. Social networks are the second top news source for Americans, right behind newspapers. It 's been proven that news spreads faster through Twitter than print media or television. Social media has become somewhat beneficial in a way that it has opened doors to a world of instant communication. People are able to catch up with long lost friends and family through the internet. It helps save money from travel. Social media has become a much needed source for our society.Social networking sites allows people with access to the world. People get to socially interact with people they 've never met and express one 's self. It 's a great way to catch up with long lost friends and family. The news is spread faster through social networks so everyone is aware of whatever may be going on at the time.

Social networking does have some positive benefits, such as spreading news world wide in an easier manner, and communicating business facts worldwide. However, these networks cause many more negative issues than positive. Such as useless arguments arising because you cannot hear other peoples tone when they speak to you. Also, the fact that being online all the time causes peoples work ethic to decrease, and make Americans even more lazy. Finally, it causes the biggest issue of all which is an invasion of privacy. It makes it a lot easier

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

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

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

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.

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.

Online networking platforms are causing a growth issue in social and relationship growth. An issue that not only affects southerners, but the entire modern world. This is becoming more evident in younger generations who have never known life without it. It has become necessary to limit and control our usage of these online networking resources. There are a few statements that can be proven that lead to this necessity: social media can create unnecessary problems in people’s lives, there are people who resort to social media for things that they shouldn’t, there are people who use online dating for the wrong reasons and hurt others because of it, online dating and social media has become a go to thing for people, and there are online networking platforms that undermine face to face interactions. There are still good things that can come out of online networking platforms, but it is high time people recognized the importance of limiting and controlling their usage of these online networking resources.

Billions of active users on social media say they love it. Facebook has 1.86 billion users and counting. Social networking has taken over society but is this a beneficial or harmful matter. Many people believe that it is beneficial to society because it simplifies communication. Although that is true, it also deterrents face to face socializing. This occurs due to society spending more than half of its time on social media. Social media is detrimental to society because of bullying as well as lack of interaction and physical activity, along with online hackers.

Using social networking is usually viewed as ruinous since so much can occur with just a simple click, people usually think that since a big amount of drama happens in there. But Social network is a fantastic thing since it’s used to connect with people and see new trends. Statistics show that 81% of the US population have a Social Media account and that people now get their news from online since sometimes its happening where the user is so it gets the news out faster than the TV news most of the time which is helpful. Looking at Twitter its normal to see the controversies since so many people go online, when a celebrity post an opinion or does something irrational that everyone ends up finding out like a scandal or someone from school post something targeted at you some drama like that can happen between friends or even just random people at school. Everyone can find out what happened when a news source posts it or friends by finding out looking at their profile, due to all these things being posted on Social Media people especially parents don’t think it’s that amazing. But teenagers love to use Social Media, it’s a place where we can chat with our friends and post photos now instead of asking“Whats your number? it’s“What’s your Username?. Not only has Social Media had an effect on all kinds of activities but social media can help start up businesses, help them become a new artist/, or help make donations. Like the companies use Social media as a way to connect with

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

Social media is a personal online website used for sharing information and ideas between many online users. Humans in general need to be social or it can drive them into insanity. But is social networking website being social or antisocial. Many people have different ideology on this topic. Teens in general are the majority of people who use social networking as the key tool to social gain. Social media can strengthen friendships or it can break them. Nevertheless, is social media good for one's health and well-being. The use of social media has negatively impacted teenagers because they have become more addicted to their mobile devices, and they have no real relationships to the outside world.

Introduction ---Teenagers will freely give up personal information to join social networks on the Internet. Afterwards, they are surprised when their parents read their journals. Communities are outraged by the personal information posted by young people online and colleges keep track of student activities on and off campus. The posting of personal information by teens and students has consequences. I will discuss the uproar over privacy issues in social networks by describing a privacy paradox.

Hello, Good morning,honorable judges,ladies and gentlemen! it is my a great honor for me to be here to share with you some of my viewpoints about social networking here .

Social networking sites (SNSs) are defined as “tools young people use to get in touch with peers sharing the same interests while facilitating opinion exchange and information sharing” [1]. Attributed to the convenience these SNSs brought to us, they play significant roles in our daily lives. They become the major channels for people to have contact with each other [2]. Gone were the days when people made connections with others mostly through phone calls or letters. Generally, users communicate, organize people and spread messages in these platforms [3]. With the appearance of Myspace in 2003, SNSs are acquiring popularity having Facebook being the most common used site nowadays [4]. Noticing the growing trend of these sites, it is
