Many people believe that social networking sites (such as Facebook) have had a huge negative impact on both individuals and society. To what extent do you agree?

some people say that social
media
platforms like Instagram or Facebook have too many demerits for human society.
However
, I think these technologies have both positive and negative sides and it depends on the individuals. On the one hand, In recent decades, especially after 2000, social networking
sites
have become more and more popular and the majority of the users of these
sites
are young. Using
this
technology everybody can make friends worldwide.
Also
, these
sites
and Apps help people get to know the culture of different countries of the world.
In addition
, one of the most important benefits of social
media
is that you can access the news very quickly.
On the other hand
, social
media
can affect people (especially the young) by changing their lifestyle and vision of their lives.
Moreover
, in today's society, we witness to
this
that most children use these
sites
more than four hours a day.
Therefore
, we can claim that social
media
is the most time-wasting tool in the recent century.
Additionally
,
due to
the liberty of users to post everything on these
sites
, especially on Twitter, we can not separate true and false information or news.
Also
,
this
liberty in posting or tweeting can harm under-18 individuals because, they see images, videos, and jokes which are not appropriate for their age. In conclusion, I think social
media
is one of the most brilliant inventions of
this
century. It is true these
sites
have a lot of benefits for human life, but, there are some demerits which can affect individuals living in a bad way.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
