Many people believe that social network websites such as Facebook and Instagram, have had a huge negative impact on both individual and Society. To what extent do you agree?

The
first
chart shows the 2010 data on the production and demand of
steel
in the UK while the
second
highlights the number of employees recruited in the
steel
sector of the country in the same period. Generally speaking, there was a relatively declining trend in the amount of
steel
produced and the actual demand as well as the consequent number of workers employed in
this
industry.
Steel
manufacturing shot up to a 5000
million
tonnage in the
first
two months, the highest across the year, but
then
plummeted back to its previous figure weeks before April when it stagnated and
then
further
lowered to just above 3000 by August. The
steel
produced rose sharply again at
this
point to almost reaching its highest point but
then
depressed sharply to end and slightly under a 1000
million
tonnage in December. The demand for
steel
fluctuated between 1800 and 3000
million
tonnes for several months. It
then
dropped steeply close to zero before recovering in the
last
week of December to exactly 2000
million
tonnes. In
this
year, a majority of the workers (about 5700) were employed between mid-January and mid-February but the recruitment rate fell greatly by March to 3000 workers. From
then
, the number of people working in the industry fluctuated between 2500 and 3500 before falling steadily from August to December to end at 1000
steel
manufacturing employees.
