Directors of organizations receive higher salaries than the ordinary worker. Some people think it is necessary while others think it is unfair. Discuss both views and give your own opinions.

Social networking
sites
,
for
instance
Add the comma(s)
instance,
show examples
Facebook
, are thought by some to have had a detrimental
effect
on individual
people
as well as
society and local
communities
.
However
,
while
I believe that
such
sites
are mainly beneficial to the individual, I agree that they have had a damaging
effect
on local
communities
. With regards to individuals, the impact that online social media has had on each individual person has clear advantages.
Firstly
,
people
from different countries are brought together through
such
sites
as
Facebook
whereas
before the development of technology and social networking
sites
,
people
rarely had the chance to meet or communicate with anyone outside of their immediate circle or community.
Secondly
,
Facebook
also
has social groups which offer individuals a chance to meet and participate in discussions with
people
who share common interests.
On the other hand
, the
effect
that
Facebook
and other social networking
sites
have had on societies and local
communities
can only be seen as negative. Rather than individual
people
taking part in their local community, they are
instead
choosing to take more interest in
people
online.
Consequently
, the
people
within local
communities
are no longer forming close or supportive relationships.
Furthermore
, society as a whole is becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented as
people
spend more time online with
people
they have never met face to face and who they are unlikely to ever meet in the future.
To conclude
,
although
social networking
sites
have brought individuals closer together, they have not had the same
effect
on society or local
communities
. Local
communities
should do more to try and involve local
people
in local activities in order to promote the future of community life.
