Some people think that social networking sites have a huge negative impact on both individuals and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Due to the advantages of technologies, using social media

such

as LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram became common in the daily life of

this

generation. Some

people

argue that the negative impact of

this

on their users is extremely dangerous. I tend to agree with the above statement since these social-media sites not only make individuals addicted but

also

create a cyberbullying culture on the social level.

First

of all, social-media addictions become more popular than anything else in the

last

decade. It is possible to observe

people

looking at their phones at the train station, while having meals, in schools and even while driving. The downside is not only the lack of attention they had developed but

also

the sense of reality they have lost.

For instance

,

people

prefer to spend time on social media

instead

of enjoying family moments, it seems that having followers and likes on these websites are their priority.

Moreover

,

people

tend to make physical or economic comparisons between themselves and others, and of course, when it occurs, they feel depressed. The

second

reason that I believe that social networking is harmful to the mental health of adolescents and adults as a role, is the increase in crimes involving cyberbullying. On the

internet

Add a comma

,internet

show examples

everyone can be anonymous and say words that would never be said, and the consequences of it in some cases can be fatal.

Although

there are some laws in order to protect the victims of cyberbullying,

for instance

, here in Brazil, Carolina Dickman’s law, identifies

this

transgressor as the biggest challenge to the police. In conclusion,

although

social media has been created with a purpose to promote interaction among

people

around the world, using it without control is harmful to society.

Moreover

, I believe that face to face interactions should never be replaced by social networking.
