The Effects Of Social Media On Society

Diana Adams (2012) identifies the double-edged nature of social media on romantic relationships when she juxtaposes today's generation with the older generation. When social media first began to develop as a way to meet a romantic partner, a social stigma was still attached to it, and persons who did make a connection were "embarrassed" to admit it. All that has changed, however, as "now social media plays a huge role in romantic relationships," and the stigma once attached

For the past decade social networking websites’ popularity has increased rapidly, websites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram became widely popular. (Pantic, 2014). According to Greietmeyer, Mugge & Bollerman (2014) Studies showed that more than 75% of internet users participate in some kind of social networking website. The main goal of these websites is to grow social relationships, however a study showed that 88% of the participants surveyed reported that social networking sites is also used to keep and strengthen current relationships.

In between these two incidents, he behaved violence very often. He pushed me to the wall, slapped me, squeezed my neck, squeezed my mouth, once he pushed me and I had a leg muscle damage and couldn’t walk properly for a few days. Once he threw a water jug at me, jug was broken hitting on the bed and wasn’t hit on my face for a luck. Most of these things happened the day after he had a drink (alcohol). He has done things I get hurt, purposely sometimes knowing I will get hurt {clubbing with other women, ignorance in social media, ignore me when we are out with friends giving more attention to other women…etc. (Picture 18, Messages 02)} and when I tell him what he’s doing is wrong and I’m hurt, he gets angry and shouting at me. Never talk peacefully in a calm manner. He has this anger issue which he can’t control himself even. He’s shivering, shouting and hit himself too, not only me. Sometimes he comes home, asking me to get into the car to saying we are going to the super market, then he’s starting a fighting shouting inside the car. I asked why he is taking me away like that, he said if neighbours hear he’s shouting and I’m crying, it will be a trouble. One day he hit the windscreen by hand when he’s angry and it’s got cracked. (Document 07). Somedays he’s asking me to get down from the car after taking me away from home.

Do we ever really worry about the effects of social media? Some of us turn our backs on the effects of social media. As if it isn’t a problem, some of us have the wrong idea about social media. If social media was always used in for the right things, there wouldn’t be as many problems as it is now with it. It is crazy how fast social media can make you and break you all at the same time. There will always be a good and a bad effect of social media.

Since I was younger I have always been creative and interested in coming up with my own unique ideas. When it came time to think about my future career I decided I needed to be doing something creative and artsy. I was not quite sure what I wanted to do with my future that involved my many interests. Finally, I came up with becoming an advertising manager after getting my degree in business marketing. Advertising managers create interest among potential buyers of a product or service for a department, for an entire organization, or on a project basis. They must plan advertising and promotional campaigns and decide which media to advertise in, such as, radio, television, print, online media, and billboards. Advertisements and forms of social media have a huge affect on people, because it is mainly all that we see. Now these advertisements are meant to sell society on an idea or product, they are not meant to be negative in any way. However, some advertisements, mainly on social media websites, are affecting society, especially women, more than most people realize.

The role of the sociologist is to research the way society is organized around power structures, groups and individuals (Human Services Guide.1). A power structure captures the way authority is distributed between a multitude of businesses (Wikipedia.2). Due to the distribution in which power is arranged, the privacy of those who are involved with the businesses can be affected. Social media has perpetuated an image of publicity by “Giving everyone the power to create, share ideas and information instantly, without barriers” (Twitter.3). Slogans such as “What’s on your mind” and “It’s what’s happening”, have exposed our societies behind the scenes personality, thoughts and images. This platform was created by those who are associated with power structures. They understood the impact internet had on the life of an everyday person and the ability to access it within seconds. As social media progressed, the privacy of everyday became more revealing. The single biggest change that will happen to American society in the next fifty years is an increase of exposure of privacy in social media.

In 1968, popular artist Andy Warhol had brought to attention his opinion on the over-populated celebrity society of the time with his quote “In the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes”. Times change, and the future approached, but Andy may have underestimated just how true that is. Nowadays, the quote has been translated to fit the modern times, “everyone will be famous for 15mb”. The quote being changed to that says a lot about the times that we are going through right now, which is the age of technology. ‘Mb’ (megabyte) taking the place of ‘minutes’ inside the quote expresses the general idea that society has become dominated by technology. With the growth of technology rose many things that have helped shape the world positively, only one of them being the increasing use of social media. Social media, even though relatively young in its days, has made a major impact on the ways society interacts. The rising use of social media has brought about a more involved and informed human population. This is a direct result of giving the human population a stage in which anyone can create and utilize a unique voice for themselves. There are many things that can be brought up when it comes towards arguing about the positive elements that social media has introduced to society and this paper will help bring some of them to attention. A few of the many positive conditions of social media are that it has effectively helped to shape the future of education, brought

As people use social networking sites more and more, psychological symptoms, such as social anxiety and depression, can begin to develop overtime. Feinstein’s research found that “depressed individuals also tend to engage in specific interpersonal behaviors, such as excessive reassurance seeking, that account for their greater likelihood of being rejected.”  Other social anxiety symptoms that can be triggered from excessive amounts of social networking include becoming less assertive, avoiding conflict, and expressing less emotion.  Results from Feinstein’s research also found that users directly felt a “depressed effect following interactions with romantic partners” and an “anxious effect following interactions with romantic partners” depending on how much time they spent on social media outside of their relationship.  Not only can the amount of time we spend on social networking affect us now, but it can also cause and make an individual more vulnerable to possible psychological problems in the future (Nauert).

A social networking site (SNS) is defined as “a web based service allowing individuals to 1) construct a public or semi public profile with a bounded system, 2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and 3) view and transverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system (Boyd & Ellison, 2007).” However, to many people social networking sites are seen as the next best thing to

The 21st century, the age of technology, has greatly influenced our lives. In particular, the introduction of social media has changed the way we socialize, make friends, build romantic relationships, and present ourselves to the public. Before the evolvement of these media the number of potential soulmates was limited to those we were lucky enough to meet in person, and it required some time and effort, and a couple of dates to figure out whether the person was your type or not. Nowadays, many social networking websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, LinkedIn, and others, alter the routine stages of a romantic relationship, that is to say, a personal profile on these websites lets us generate the first impression online

Many SNSdevelopers like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and others are competing to give the best features in terms of socialization, interaction, privacy and even entertainment.
