Nowadays people believe that social networking sites such as Facebook have had a huge negative impact on both individual and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There are too many ills in the society.

Facebook

, along with many other popular social media channels have been blamed for the deteriorating culture of the young and old in the society. Many people believe the evils of social media should be stopped because it's more harmful than helpful to the citizenry. I totally disagree with

this

notion because these media sites are used as news sources and are

also

responsible for the quick transfer of knowledge and best practices amongst the younger generation.

First

, some people believe that social media

responsible for many recently published suicidal cases. While, it is true that

such

victims were active on social media, it is wrong to think that social media in itself was the reason for their actions.

For instance

, it is worthy of note that there are many

media addicts who spend so much time on the Internet teaching people how to live right.

Internet, and

when they don't get help resort to committing suicide.

Hence

, the Internet cannot be blamed for their decisions.

Also

, It is worthy of note that many recent household inventions are widely spread because of

Facebook

and Twitter. In

not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied

words, many young people have passed knowledge amongst themselves without physically meeting each other by simply posting new ideas and copy other people's ideas.

For instance

, many people learnt how to cook from social sharing sites like

This

will not have been possible without social media. Again, social media sites

keeps

keep

people abreast of happenings around them.

This

means that social media addicts are more likely to get news and current happenings around them as against those who don't visit social media sites.

For instance

,

Facebook

's news feeds have helped families get aware of dangers in their

a surrounding or nearby region

neighbourhoods

which would have caused them their safety. The family was safe because they followed the happenings in their

neighborhood

a surrounding or nearby region

neighbourhood

in a live

Facebook

channel and so for these reasons I strongly disagree that social media sites are responsible for the ills in the society. In conclusion, though there have been several complaints about social media sites and its relationship to a downgrading community, I strongly disagree that these social media sites should be blamed.
