many people believe that is social networking sites(such as Facebook ) have had a huge negative impact in individuals and society . to what extent do you agree ?
Social networking sites,
for instance
Facebook
, are thought by some to have had a detrimental effect
on individual people as well as society and local communities. However
, while I believe that such
sites are mainly beneficial to the individual, I agree that they have had a damaging effect
on local communities. With regards to individuals, the impact that online social media has had
on each has clear advantages. Suggestion

Firstly
, people from different countries are brought together through such
sites as Facebook

On the other hand
, the effect
that Facebook
and other social networking sites have had on societies and local communities can only be seen as negative. Rather than individual people taking part in their local community, they are instead
choosing to take more interest in people online. Consequently
, the people within local communities are no longer forming close or supportive relationships. Furthermore
, society as a whole is becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented as people spend more time online with people they have never met face to face and who are unlikely to ever meet in the future. To conclude, although
social networking sites have brought individuals closer together, they have not had the same effect
on society or local communities. Local communities should do more to try and involve local people in local activities in order to promote the future of community life.Submitted by salm260 on
