6.A. The popularity of news media often has significant influence on people’s lives. Some people believe this to be a negative development. Do you agree or disagree?
in the era of technology, it is generally believed that human lives are harmfully impacted by the use of social
media
advancement. I strongly agree with this
proponent since social media
generally becomes a catalyst for mental and physical well-being setbacks.
To commence, the new form of media
not only brings drawbacks to people's concentration but also
sleeping habits. Firstly
, myriad social media
users
experience the fear of missing out which is a psychological term describing that the users
of social media
will get anxiety if they do not actively log into their online accounts
. For example
, Facebook users
who regularly upload their status with pictures on their personal accounts
are triggered to constantly check their accounts
to find if their friends comment on their posts and respond back to other Facebook users
. As a result
, social media
users
are not able to focus on their commitments because of the sounds of notifications. Moreover
, surfing social media
sites before sleeping causing
sleep disorders is well documented over the past decades.
Wrong verb form
causes
Additionally
, users
of news media
have a better chance to encounter physical health-related problems due to the lack of regular exercise. Stemming from that social media
users
are glued to their phones. To be more specific, in the past, the older generation
utilizes their specious spare time to join physical exercises such
as badminton, baseball or soccer to relieve their stress and enhance their immune system. However
, the young generation
's time for playing sports is replaced by scrolling their social media
accounts
. As a result
, the young generation
is considered as lazy generation
and will expect to receive serious threats to their physical health such
as obesity and cardiovascular illnesses.
In conclusion, the soar in the usage of new social media
contributes huge negative effects on users
' physical and psychological health. Therefore
, people should minimize the usage of social media
as little as possible.Submitted by nnguyen54 on
