Youth Corruption

Kardaras, Nicolas. "Generation Z: Online and at Risk?." Scientific American Mind, vol. 27, no. 5, Sep/Oct 2016, pp. 64-9. MasterFILE Premier. Kardars discuss generation z use of social media affecting them negatively. He opens his article with a story of Heidi who becomes addicted to social media when her school issues her a Chromebook. Before Heidi is issued the laptop, she was a sweet innocent girl and after having it for a semester she became someone her parents could not recognize. He states that social media is a “perfect storm” for humans because having a social connection key to “happiness and health”. Having the ability to always use social media leads to hyper texting the illusion of a real connection making it hard for teens to have face to face conversations, making a teens become “glow kid[s]“, someone who is raised on mostly digital social interactions. Facebook depression” can result in the teen to have lower grades and behavior problems in teens. He concludes his article with facts proving that Facebook can become addictive in some people. This source helps support my thesis that Facebook affects teens mental health.

The balance of function in the United States were very conflicted during the Civil War time period. State governments wouldn’t agree with the national governments and vice versa. The Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches also were corrupted for a while with presidents allowing their friends become officials and also with the corrupt banking going on in the Jackson era.

Throughout history, there are key inventions such as the telephone and the computer that transcended the way people communicate and relay information with each other. The invention that started this wave of faster and faster communication, the telegraph, proved to be revolutionary, paving way to many of these efficient methods of communication in the United States. During the late 19th century, the United States faced significant transformations culturally and socially with the help of the Telegraph. The telegraph proved to play a significant role in the United States’ Civil War, improving the way the military was planning and executing its strategies. This proved to be even more impressive, because of the adversities military telegraphers

According to CNN, teens spend nine hours a day consuming media. But is that a good thing? Youth can be mocked from posts on social media. Youth is more into their media “life” than real life. One doesn’t even make real friends online. Overall, social media has a negative impact on youth.

The article “Is social media ruining our children?” is an effective work as a whole. Overall, Sreedhar does a good job by supporting his opinion on how social media have bear responsibility for anxiety and depression in adolescents, teenagers, and young adults. And he uses logos by the survey conducted by credible source and proposal a clear solution from experts.

Through the power of social media and technology, people have the ability to become more aware of and involved in different organizations, or see the respectable deeds that others are doing. This “power” may inspire people to make a change in themselves, but potentially in the world. But, this power can be so overwhelming that people may make poor decisions. For example, it is a well-known fact that many underage teenagers drink alcohol regularly. So, say if an underage teenager who does not typically drink, sees their peers drinking, they could potentially feel pressured or tempted to join in and drink, which is a poor decision. Again, going back to the idea that social media and technology allow for people to look into other’s lives, some people may become insecure about who they are or look like, and feel the need to change themselves to fit this idea of what society likes to see, which is ultimately hurting the person’s

However it is quite obvious that the overuse of it can negatively impact a persons and even more so, a young child’s wellbeing. I highly believe that social media is stealing away the adventurous and educational childhood of past generations. It is being replaced with advanced technology and over-exposed websites which is speeding up the emotional as well as the physical growth of today’s generation. The excessive amount of time that children spend on social media and technology on average have very negative impacts on their well being such

“Don’t use social media to impress people; use it to impact people”(Willis). This means that people should not use social media for things like putting people down; they should use it in a positive way. In the October 22, 2015, CNN Philippines editorial, “Teens’ Secrets Go Deeper than Parents Think” by Sreedhar Potarazu, he shows how teens do not use social media in the right way. In this editorial Potarazu shows parents how social media causes problems within families, schools, etc. Potarazu knows that social media has made a terrible impact on many teens all over the world, and is successful on how he expresses it through emotion, facts, and tone to engage and persuade the audience.

“Technology had to be invented or adopted” (Diamond). Indeed, technology was not risen from nothing. They were originally people’s impractical ideas. With efforts and attempts, they were achieved and became true. Technologies often made lives more convenient and efficient. Just as human evolved from hominid, technologies had also advanced throughout history. Although the advancement might not seem significant in terms of decades, it gradually improved daily life of Americans. Throughout the course of technological advancement, World War II was usually marked as the turning point of technological advancement. It was known for its strong influences on dramatic changes in technology. Although World War II caused enormous casualty, the weaponry advancement advanced technology that could also be used in everyday life and thereby improved post war society.

As the youth have more exposure to social media sites like instagram, facebook, twitter and snapchat divides are created between the real world and the online world. As Ehmke states, “It may have looked like a lot of aimless hanging around, but what they were doing was experimenting, trying out skills, and succeeding and failing in tons of tiny real-time interactions that kids today are missing out on.”( Ehmke) These kids are not able to distinguish between online conversations and person to person conversations. When in the situation of social contact Children fail to see the interactions and cues. Kids not being able to pick up on these social cues is causing them to have certain psychological problems like anxiety and depression.

The invention of the telegraph eventually led to future inventions such as: the radio, the fax machine, and the cell phone, which eventually took place of the telegraph shortly after its discovery. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the rise of the information age started. This stage brought us the first television, creating movies and movie stars. Shortly after the television made a head way, personal computers, cable T.V., and satellites were created to give their audiences visual pictures to go with the information they intended to broadcast. With more and more inventions developing over time, the information age moved on to the digital era where the old and new media began to converge, changing the way we see culture and media

To commence with, that nowadays, juveniles spend most of their time in social media more than older people who tend to spend time with their relatives is an axiom which could substantiate the justification of the claim made at the outset of this essay. Broadly speaking, by invention of the Internet and public media, persons' way of life has revolutionized greatly and people have started to change their lifestyle. In fact, younger people have more interests to get information from public communication especially from the

The study will focus on the detrimental effects of traditional and social media to the youth of today in general.

Social media is causing teenagers to be negatively influenced. This is an issue, because teenagers are extremely impressionable and social media is negatively impacting their lives each day whether they are conscious of this or not. One anonymous author who wrote the article, “Teen’s Use of Social Media: Positive or Negative?” states, “90 percent of teens have used social media” (Teens’ Use of Social Media). In this statement, it is clear that a large majority of teenagers have already been exposed to some type of social media. Since teenagers learn from direct observation and experience, it is a huge problem when they witness things on social media that concern sexist, racist, or homophobic content. Many teenagers even say that they have an addiction to social media. Teens who have had bad experiences online or who do not use social media on a regular basis said that they have a stronger urge to stay away from the internet. Even though there are many negatives to social media there are some positives as well. NickMcGillivray who is affiliated with the website, TurboFuture wrote the article, “What Are the Effects of Social Media on Youth.” In his article, he states, “There are many positive aspects, but there are equally as many dangers that come with the use of sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest, Google +, Tumblr, Instagram, gaming sites, and blogs” (McGillivray). In this statement, he makes it clear, that social media has both positives and negatives. One positive of social media that impacts teenager’s lives would be, how they are able to communicate with their teachers and other classmates at any time. This makes it easier for

A study by Harvard Business Review found that team performance went up 50% when teams socialized more and limited email and eventually, anyone or “operational-only” issues. Clearly, there’s a theme here. We don’t just “become lonelier” as a human race over time. It seems that with the advent of social media, laptops, and apps, we’re choosing screens over personal interactions. According to Time, most Americans from age 18 to 24 check their phone 74 times a day on average. Use of internet has certainly increased the quantity of our mental stimulation, but we lack the quality. According to Forbes, The American Academy of Pediatrics aware the possibility of negative effects of social media in young kids and teens, including cyber-bullying and Facebook depression. Using social media disturbs make deep relationship with others. When they are using social-media we do not need to move a lot. It is okay just to stay. We do not need to active a lot. As a result, it leads naturally mental and physical disabilities. Although social media can connect teens to the world and friends and family around them, it is actually one of the highest-ranking cause of suicide among teenagers in 21st century. People sometimes talks about how social media is becoming part of their world, it is becoming their world. They are unaware of the fact that social media encourages the false images of how everything should be in a perfect world. This not only increases stresses and changes in a normal human life but, it leads to depression and some mental diseases. When it comes to study, a study conducted by Liberty Voice shows that, children have become more dumb, lazier, rude and depressed due to the use of social media. They have been spending
