this
Linking Words
argument as social media is a powerful platform to convey our messages and help to keep touch with our beloved ones.
Firstly
Linking Words
, there is no doubt that social sites play a crucial role to share any content and express our viewpoint with more freedom.
This

is because people may have a chance to show their ideology and belief with others on any social issues without any restrictions.
Consequently

, they can be satisfied and get relief when they express their opinions or any concerns with others on these social platforms.
For instance

shares various stories on networking sites.
Secondly

, with regard to individuals, the impact of social media has had each person because everyone can communicate with our friends and relatives, even they live far away from us and we

share our videos, pictures and locations with them. If we regularly contact with our loved ones, it may help to build a strong relationship with each other.
For example

Without any doubt, individuals can share their viewpoint more freely on any social problems and communicate with their kith and kin with just one touch on the mobile or computer screen.
