The Pros And Cons Of Social Networking

In society today, we as a whole have replaced communicating face to face and have switched to expressing our ideas behind a screen. Because of this, a good number of arguments have arose from post and publications that state someone’s opinion about an issue. One of the most highly used forms of media in our world today is social media, which are websites and technological apps that enable a person or group to create their own websites and pages for a specific purpose. Social media creates a second “ world” where people can communicate with others across the world in a matter of seconds. Whenever you have a large collection of people in the same area, each stating their arguments and sides to something, there are going to be conflicting sides to every situation. Another way of describing the word argument is by using the words ethos, pathos, and logos. These three words are used when arguing on social media every single day.

Technology has become very advanced and very important to our society. One thing that has become very big because of our technology is social networking. There are many positives to having easy access to social media, but there are also negative effects as well. The impact of all this social media has overall a negative effect on our daily lives in society. In “‘r u online?’: The Evolving Lexicon of Wired Teens”, by Kris Axtman, Kris talks about how instant messaging has affected the the communication of the younger people in our generation. In “Note To Selfie”, by John Dickerson, he writes about how people are pausing their lives to post about their happenings on social media. These two authors discuss some negative aspects to having social

One danger that is often overlooked by social networking users is social comparison. The phrase “social comparison” refers to the idea that people determine their own self-worth through evaluating and comparing themselves to others. This is especially prevalent on social networking sites. Users of social networking sites often strive to make their lives seem perfect. In order to achieve this, users will only post their “highlights” or positive points in their lives. One author states, "When you're on a site like Facebook, you get lots of posts about what people are doing. That sets up social comparison — you maybe feel your life is not as full and rich as those people you see on Facebook,” ("Social Media: Does social media have a positive impact on the world?"). However, it is not the fact that the users may unintentionally be posting only their highlights that could be potentially dangerous. Rather, it is the fact that another user may compare their own life to another user’s. For example, a user could be scrolling through a site and see another user’s highlights and begin comparing their own life to the other user’s. As a result, a user could start to develop a lower self-esteem. Their sense of self-worth may also be damaged in the process. This obsession of one’s self-image can have severe consequences such as feelings of depression or loneliness ("Social Media: Does social media have a positive impact on the world?").

In today’s century social media is the main way to communicate with people with people all over the world. It has become very popular... even more popular than a text or video message. Social media is a computer technology that facilitates the creation and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via communities and networks. The variety of social media services that are currently available can help benefit businesses, introduce an event, or even help you find a friend, family member, or long lost soulmate. Some social sites even help you find love. However, there are many positive things that can come out social media but there are many negatives too.

As the use of social networking is at upsurge, people are becoming more indolent. According to an article by Wiederhold and Brenda K, it has been found in the survey of hundred people that people are becoming more reliant on communicating with friends and family through technology and are neglecting to engage personally, uninhibited by phones and devices, even when actually in the presence of others (Wiederhold 157-157).Rather than putting an effort to know the people around or talk to them, they find it easier to stick to their cellular devices and be active on social sites.

“Social media is changing the way we communicate and the way we are perceived, both positively and negatively. Every time you post a photo, or update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and personal brand.” Although people should feel safe while using the internet, they are still capable of coming across countless and unnecessary situations. Social media can be used for a variety of things, but there are still very many pros and cons of social media.

I think that the social media system cannot simply make humanity more peaceful and happy. I say this for a couple of reasons. Social media just makes people have a chance to insult or expose others without much punishment, people can use social media for any way they want, including on dark subject like murder, etc., and it has shrunk the world down in such a way it is a social media village now. After reading the article by Nicholas Carr, I could tell that it would do all of this for social media. I immensely agree due to him making his point; social media can corrupt people. People tend to share more exposed information onto social media a lot, so it keeps people from liking others the more they know of them.

The Internet is an ever-changing, ever-growing, world that gives us access to information in a matter of seconds. We can read news article, get an education, and even communicate with friends that are in a different country. One of the applications that makes communication possible is Facebook. This website was formed in 2004 as a way for Harvard students to have an easier way of connecting with one another (Baltar & Brunet, 2012, p. 64). Fast-forward to present 2017, and Facebook is now the most visited online social networking site (Ramsaran-Fowdar & Fowdar, 2013, p. 74) with more than 500 million users (Baltar & Brunet, 2012, p. 64-65). Facebook is not just home to many users, but also to many businesses as well. It has been discovered that non-profit organizations use this online application, much more than for-profit organizations, as a way to communicate with their followers (Cho, Schweickart, & Haase, 2014, p. 565). This social media platform is one that allows users to engage with organizations by means of likes, shares, and comments (Cho, Schweickart, & Haase, 2014, p. 565). Just like any other activity, there are pros and cons to consider when using Facebook. Is Facebook worth the risk for non-profit organizations?

Social networking has a lot of positive effects on todays society like how it allows us to be able to communicate with people all over the world and how it enables us to learn about a lot of different things we would have never known. It also is a good way to get your name out there if you are searching for a job, but it also has a lot of negative impacts on today society and some of them are very serious.

Social networking has turned the world into a small but global village. Now it’s easy to connect with people from all over the world, people from Far East like China can interact with others from the United States in real time virtually. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and many more are the mean of social networking; however social media developed an addiction and overuse that caused unwanted distraction from reality and social life with people. Once it was a healthy escape from life’s problem. Now it’s a problem to life itself, at least people life relationships. Social networking once was a great tool to establish and maintain relationships with friends, family and even strangers sharing similar interests. But unfortunately it can backfire

Within this essay I will discuss how social networking sites have both a beneficial and unbeneficial influence on our way of life and everyday interactions within society. Social networking sites have increased our overall social interactions as well as provided society with additional ways to build social connections. However, for these interactions and connections to be advantageous, individuals within society must be aware of and accept the decrease in privacy that arises with the increased social interaction, only then will it be a benefit. Although, if individuals within society forget or do not accept the decrease in privacy and therefore perform acts on social networking sites they may not be fond of society seeing, this can alter their everyday interactions by making the individuals less social. It is difficult to pinpoint how society and everyday life has changed until you view how different everyday interactions are from ten to closer to five years ago. Recent years have shown that more than anything else, social media has drastically impacted most of societies daily lives due to tools such as Facebook and Twitter. Social networking communication sites have significantly altered our way of life as well as the way we network via one another and the world around us. Here are a few areas that social networking has reshaped in societies everyday interactions.

The first recognizable social media site was Six Degrees which was created in 1997 and allows users to interact with each other (Ellison et al. 211). Since then, various social media sites have cropped up and become popular in the world. With the development of this technology, come various effects and implications to the society. The phenomenon of social has been so impactful that it has come to define how human beings live and interact in the society. This, therefore, leads us to some discussions and soul-searching on the pros and cons of using social media in our day to day lives.
