Social media is becoming increasingly popular amongest all age groups. However, sharing personal information on social media websites does have risks. DO YOU THINK THAT THE ADVANTAGES OF SOCIAL MEDIA OUTWEIGH THE DISADVANTAGES?

Using social

media

to share lifestyles seems like a modern trend worldwide. The nation, especially the young generation, uses social

media

a lot. Sharing is good, but

also

very dangerous to expose personal pieces of information to the world. There are lots of precedents that the nation is in danger because of information leakages. In my opinion,

although

there are some risks, the community can gain more from it. Indeed, social

media

is a double-edged sword. If the community can use it in a good way, there are lots of things they can get.

First,

the information we can get has never been so much. People can get almost what they want from the network, particularly the different perspectives of the world.

For example

, it is easy for the community to gain opinions against the same topic from all kinds of countries. It helps people think broader and more comprehensively.

Second,

it is easier to express emotional thoughts online than in real life, especially for introverted persons. A person can share confusions and difficulties anonymously, which can lighten the pressure and stress.

Finally

, the internet can

also

help in real life. The connections between societies have declined in the

last

decades.

Hence

network can be a tool to reconnect with the public, and online chatting may turn into a face-to-face talking underline. And the authority can do more to control and monitor online behaviours. On the one hand, people will share more thoughts when they feel safe enough. In a digital world, most normal folk cannot protect themselves and their info.

Hence

, it is important to make sure the environment online is safe and increase the protection against vital info.

On the other hand

, it is

also

very critical for governments to let the public be aware of potential dangers. When the popular consciously surf on the internet, the probability they get in trouble will decrease. In conclusion, I think social

media

can bring more advantages than disadvantages to society. Using it wisely and consciously, governments should set up more rules.
