Many believe that social media platforms are exerting considerable adverse effects on their users in both individual and social aspects. Due to many reasons, I completely agree with this statement.
One of the primary arguments against social networking sites is their potential negative impact on mental health and well-being. Excessive use of these platforms has been associated with feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression, as individuals may experience pressure to present an idealized version of themselves or compare their lives to others. Furthermore, constant exposure to curated images and content on social media can contribute to unrealistic beauty standards, body image issues, and self-esteem issues, particularly among young people. Additionally, the addictive nature of social networking sites, characterized by endless scrolling and dopamine-driven feedback loops, can lead to a loss of productivity, disrupted sleep patterns, and decreased attention spans.

Some people believe that scientists have the greatest influence on the world. Other people think that the influence of politicians is greater. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some argue that scientific research has a greater influence than politicians in the world, while others believe that politicians hold more importance in a country due to their influential status. In my opinion, the scientific research is more important than any other profession due to its impact on the human race. Moreover, the survival of the human race is dependent on science. I have discussed both sides of the argument in this essay and also provide reasons for each statement.
