Is social media bad for our society?

Social media has evolved over the course of many years. Some people debate whether it’s good or bad for our society. This website called www.debate.org is a community based discussion group that talks about social issues, which is very interesting to see what other people have to say about our society. 78% of people say that social media is bad and the other 22% say it’s a great thing to have in our society. I have to agree on the 78% of people because I believe social media changes people’s behaviors. Social media takes away from face-to-face conversation and generations before never had this type of media on the internet. However, I believe social media is a good thing to have for jobs. If you are starting a new business, social media is a great way to get your business noticed. Overall, the community agrees that social media causes problems that needs to be addressed.

                 Some of the issues include false internet stories, people loosing communication skills, and it is medicine for emotional security. Having false internet can start rumors about individuals that are not necessarily true. People loosing communication skills ties into having less confidence, this means people would have a hard time talking socially to others. Is medicine a cure for emotional security? No, however some people use it as an escape to life. The internet is one place anyone could feel good about them and have that power by just typing a message. I hope this issue brought attention to you and here is the link to where you can give your own opinion.
