The Positive Impact Of The Internet And Social Media

Social media is a very popular and widely used medium of entertainment in today’s society that allows people to connect and congregate from all over the world without having to leave the comfort of home. In order for many people to relieve social isolation and loneliness, social media unravels new pathways of communication and can be used to help people open up and express their opinions (Naruse). It can give people the chance to share and express their ideas to a large audience and receive feedback. Large and small businesses alike use this platform of communication in order to relay information about their products and services faster by using promotions and advertisements on social media websites.

People view others based on what they see of them online rather than in the real world. In the articles, “Should We Ditch the Idea of Privacy?” by Don Tapscott and “#Me: Instagram Narcissism and the scourge of the Selfie” by John Paul Titlow.

As we approach our pluralistic society, it is getting much easier to feel like we all belong with the constant feeling of comfort coming from the internet and all it has to offer. Social media in present day is something that is evolving so rapidly in our world and throughout our flourishing pluralistic society, we are using technology to develop ourselves and make connection around us, but limitations are still present and can affect our ability to truly connect with our nation in a motivational way.
