Many people use social media every day to keep in touch with friends and get social news. Do you think the advantages of it outweigh the disadvantages?

With the development of the internet, more and more social

media

were widely used by human beings.

While

some

people

argue that it may bring about some positive impacts, I believe that they are more likely to contribute to negative influences. Social

media

benefit our daily life.

To begin

with, without regional restrictions, we are able to keep in touch with other

people

in different countries.

For instance

, an innovative social

media

, which is named LinkedIn, could effectively help job seekers apply for overseas occupations

as well as

contact foreign human resources specialists from international enterprises.

In addition

,

people

can maintain the relationship more easily through a variety of social

media

. In

this

fast-paced life, it is common that we cannot always meet our friends and family;

whereas

this

may cause us to become more and more alienated from close

people

.

As a result

, social

media

significantly dissolve regional and time limitations and support us to strengthen bonds with others.

Nevertheless

, there are several negative problems that come

along with

social

media

.

Firstly

, without censorship, they may spread illegal and fake news to the public and even harm children. As we know, at a younger age, children are so ignorant and immature that they cannot distinguish between the truth and the fake information on social

media

. In

this

context, if juveniles are exposed to violent elements, they may blindly duplicate violent behaviours. Afterwards, it is likely to lead to a rising rate of crime

such

as school bullying, robbery, and so on.

Therefore

, social

media

exert a baneful impact on society. In conclusion, despite some contact benefits, social

media

seem to me that those cause more disadvantages and are harmful to us.
