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?
Nowadays, social
media
becomes more and more important in our daily life
, and some people
believe that these social networking applications bring a massive bad impact on both people
and society. I agree that social media
has some negative influences, but they also
have some advantages to human life
.
On the one hand, recently, most people
have more than one social networking application on their mobile phones and tablets, and the time
people
spend on those social websites has increased significantly than before. This
situation means many people
may waste their time
on unnecessary social activities on the Internet and not spend enough time
improving themselves, such
as studying or exercising. Moreover
, social media
can impact people
’s minds. For example
, many celebrities usually post their skinny bodies or luxurious lives
on Internet, and these pictures and videos encourage people
to pursue unhealthy lives
or have incorrect attitudes about money. If many people
waste time
and have wrong attitudes about their lives
due to social media
, it will become a social problem in the future.
However
, social networking sites still bring our life
many advantages. For example
, when we lose contact with our old friends, we can use social media
to find them. Additionally
, social networking sites let us know people
who have different lives
from us and enhance our knowledge about this
world.
In conclusion, I think that the overuse of social networking sites in daily life
is harmful to people
and society. Nevertheless
, if we use them correctly and control the time
we spend, these applications and websites are beneficial.Submitted by tcc55662005 on
