that social networking sites,

for example

Facebook, have had a detrimental

, it is true that the

effect

of social media on individuals has had negative implications,

however

Linking Words

, in terms of the

society

Use synonyms

, I believe it has been for the most part positive. With regards to individuals, the impact that social media has had on each individual person has clear disadvantages.

Firstly

Linking Words

, the extensive use of social media by some people due to its addictive nature has brought about sedentary and reclusive behaviour, which has several effects

such

as, lack of social and emotional intelligence and lack of productivity.

In other words

Linking Words

, long term social isolation and, decreased social interaction in real life with real people

subsequently

Linking Words

leads to physical and mental health problems.

Secondly

Linking Words

, the use of social networking sites exposes individuals to huge security risks in the form of online harassment, cyber bullying, identity theft, stalking, and exposure to paedophiles.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, the

effect

Use synonyms

that social networking sites

such

Linking Words

as Facebook and Linkedin have had on societies is evidently positive. The connectivity associated with these sites has fostered learning and sharing of cultures through interaction with people from all over the world.

Consequently

Linking Words

, the world is becoming a global village.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, local companies are currently networking with potential employees through social networking sites; aside from advertising their job vacancies, they have access to thousands of potential candidates’ profiles and resumes, which they can sift/scan through to find their perfect candidate.

Therefore

, job seekers

also

have more chances of finding suitable positions. In conclusion,

although

social networking sites have encouraged economic growth, for individual people, it has not had the same positive

effect

. Individuals need to regulate time spent on social networking sites, and

also

endeavour to engage more with actual humans around them in order to foster better emotional and physical health.
