[Blue house]

Social media is an online platform that connects many people together to communicate interact and shares ideas together.
many youth find social media entertaining more than any form of entertainment, they talk and gist their, some people advertise their goods on it, some people are social media influencers and they make a lot of money on it.
but social media still has it disadvantages, many youth waste a lot of their time on social media doing nonsensical things, it expose some youth to bad and violent behaviours, and some share inappropriate things to each other with the aid of social media.
So please is social media causing more harms or bads to the society.

Students spend countless hours on social media platform like Snapchat, Instagram, whatspp and you tube. Social media can lead to decreased self esteem many people choose to make their live seem very glamour on social media and only put their best foot forward and it also lead to bad gang

Social media has it's advantages and disadvantages. As you say advantages social media can connect people even in long distance, gather information such as news, science, general knowledge etc. Can be also for entertainment and many more advantages. But offcourse there is also a disadvantages of using social media such as spreading fake news, malicious judgement, getting involve to people that you don't know and many more.

Therefore, social media has a large impact, yet the impact can be seen as negative in many aspects. ... Social media is a big outlet for cyberbullying among teenagers. Cyberbullies can use the mask of the Internet to taunt others with no real interaction.

I don't subscribe to that line of thought. We live in a world where everything has an advantage and also a disadvantage. While I agree that social media comes with some societal ills and it can become addictive. There's also a lot of benefits to be derived from the right usage. At the end it comes down to the ability to moderate it usage.

I think no it has both things like it is harming as well as doing good also. We are getting good or bad both by social media. We do not get only entertain but we get alot of news, method of earnings, plus doing so much benefits to advertise also.
But it's up to you how you use it in yiur +ve way or in -ve way. So if we use in proper way we will get best result.

No, social media does not harm the society, Some harrasment comments and posts are passed which offend people by which they get harm otherwise it is the best source for a learner. Something that has an advangate has disadvantage too.

The sword is in your hands. What you do with will determine whether it is evil or good. There are a lot of good in the social media as well as so much evil. But on a bigger and larger view, the bad name it has gotten is from the younger generation having access to places they shouldn't be having access to.

This topic is quite debatable, but to me, I believe the harm social media causes is not forceful. You can only choose to be susceptible to such harms. Even the good it does are only beneficial if you choose to benefit from it. The introduction of social media has really helped in the wide spread of knowledge. That alone is more good

@Blue house there is no good thing that doesn't have disadvantages. Internet has it own but the advantage is way beyond the disadvantages that comes with the use of internet. No business can survive without the use of internet.

It depends on on us individual. Kids and teenagers are the more vulnerable upon using social media. Thats why parents play the biggest role in educating and guiding their. Thats the only way to lead them in the right path. Because social media is everywhere, your kids will definitely find friends with the help of it. Not even here they often interact with his friends in real life. Here they find a sense of belonging because it is also easy to find here those who have similar passions or are not able to think. And because so many changes are taking place in the body and mind of teenagers, they only get the opinion of those who are going through the same thing online. With these benefits you will find that social media is really becoming increasingly important for young people today. In fact, many of them become overly dependent on it. It is also undeniable that they often use it too much.

Yea I agree this life is white and black, nothing with advantages without disadvantages, but the bad it has caused some people is way more than good it caused them

 

[Chizfab]

It has both negative and positive effect on the society. But to be sincere, it is causing more good than harm because a lot of swipe development has occurred since it's invention.

For me social me has both positive and negative effects. But social media brings a lot more negative effects to the society. Many crimes happen everyday online. Kids can become a victim in these crimes because they are already using social media. Also teens spend a lot of time online, making their selves isolated and spend less time with their family.

Social media is a platform, to meet people, connect with people and also to create awareness of what goes on around us. The disadvantages is that many people tend to abuse this platform, by using it as a means to defraud people of their assets, and also most people see it as an avenue to post whatever they feel like pornographic or not which may serve as a corruption to mind and soul.

Social media is an online platform which enables individuals around world communicate and interact with one another sharing values and ideas. The use of social media is either for good or evil. But the evil deeds are broadcasted more than the others.

It has both positive and negative effects on society.positve Effects:You reach large audiences. You have a direct connection with your audience. You can create organic content. Negative Effects:Hacking – Personal data and privacy can easily be hacked and shared on the Internet. This is one of the dangerous disadvantag
of the social media and every user is advised to keep their personal data and accounts safe to avoid such accidents.

The benefits we are deriving from social media these days are far more than the disadvantages. There nothing that's good that doesn't have it's own disadvantage, so it's a normal thing there are disadvantages of using social media. The power of social is very strong and influential, in fact, social media has reduced the rate at which people in higher authority are doing corruption because they know that with just one click all their news will circulate around the world. When there was no social media, the voices of the oppressed were not always heard because their would be nobody to listen but now it's very easy to get judgement for whatever is done to you wrongly.

I honestly believe that the rise of social media in this time of our lifes has definitely from my perspective brought more good than harm to our individual life and society in general. As everything in life, there must be negative impact which social media is not exempted from, but the kind of voice it has given the voiceless it is astonishing.
