Social media is having a negative impact on people's lives nowadays. To what extent do you agree with this statement? Support your answer with reasons and examples.

It is undeniable that nowadays social
media
is one of the important parts of living but it has both a positive effect and
also
negative. In my opinion , I strongly disagree with
this
statement , in
this
essay I will show reasons and give examples to support my views. To start with , in the society it is normal to follow the trend like the popular foods , well-known places to take a picture.
People
on social
media
will go to the places and go for the food maybe just to follow the trend by taking pictures and
then
post them on their social account via Facebook , Instagram or Twitter , and their followers will see and maybe have some
people
would like to do the same as they did. Doing
this
will have a negative impact on the populations like the children that will not have a consideration.
On the other hand
, these days there are many kinds of social
media
to follow like Facebook , Twitter , Instagram ,etc. So
people
have so many options to choose what they want to follow and what they want to see and listen to.
For example
, I choose to follow my favourite singer's Instagram and I want to see what his activity during his free time is and how he works.
Therefore
, the content that I have seen depends on what I would like to see and
this
makes me both happy and feel inspire. In my opinion , I think if
people
choose to receive the content through social
media
depending on the thing that they are interested in, it will be more beneficial. In conclusion , social
media
has both benefits and
also
negative impacts. We have to decide what we want to see and what content that suitable for us. In my point of view, I think social
media
provide us more benefit than a disadvantage.
