Many people believe that social networking sites (such as Facebook)have had a huge negative impact on both individuals and society. To what extent do you agree?

#people #sites #facebook #impact #individuals #society

this

technological era, social networking

sites

are a hot topic to be discussed. There is a school of thought that Facebook and other networking

sites

are playing a destructive role in both individual life and social life.

This

essay agrees with

this

perspective to some extent and will elaborate on its drawbacks. Admittedly, Facebook and other social networking techniques are most popular among all ages of the masses. Individuals can socialize only a click away while using these online networking apps and

sites

For example

, parents and children can talk to their families while sitting in distant locations.

Moreover

, massive business platforms are using these types of social media as a platform to reach out to the public and expand their business.

As a result

, it has created job opportunities among tech-savvy young generations. Paradoxically, I believe that these

sites

are promoting detrimental effects on the public both personally and socially.

Firstly

, one who is socially active online cannot be available offline as well.

Consequently

, folks are cutting off from their friend and societies.

This

leads them to spend a sedentary lifestyle and an increasing rate of health issues.

Secondly

, using their devices make them absent from any essential gathering and even prioritizing online events these days.

Thus

, the masses are not paying attention to their responsibilities for the communities. To the way of conclusion, based on an argument above it seemed that social networking

sites

are useful to some level but are posing threat to the basic human lifestyle.

That is

why everyone must realize the significance of real social life

instead

of the online one.

Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be better spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view?
The arts represent an important cultural facet of the country and community, and as such I strongly believe that time-tested forms of art should be subsidized and conserved. However, as far as modern art is concerned, it should be an exception because it is the very competition modern artists get involved in that will stimulate the arts industry, especially encouraging the would-be artists to create artworks that are highly original.
