Have no surprise with the worldwide use of media sites? In disseminating private sector and executive areas and the knowledge allows to had a great impact on our way of life and pertaining to other people. The media tools implicate our communication, do we expect that?In different ways that we can think. But let's distinguish the negative and the positive side.
Social media conveyed negative and positive effects on communication. Social networks have been serving as the mediator for everyday life with peers,family and colleagues. It is affecting our relationship between them, and decreasing the quality of interpersonal communication.
Positive contribution of social media
It's effortless to make new friends
We can easily meet a new friend through Facebook not like before we need to meet up just to get to know each other.
It helps promote empathy
Just like when your friends are happy or sad you can give your response to them easily without physical appearance, with the use of emoticons and other additional information.
Communication becomes easy and possible for everybody.
There's no need to wait how many days to inform your relatives or family member about the new update of your situation.
The world looks like to be a little
Everything under the sun, like information about other countries like news and new developments, became accessible without a hassle.
Helps to strengthen relationship
In what way ?It usually help to our family who are working abroad or to the people who have a long distance relationship.Through social media they can easily in touch with each other.
It is helpful with our students
It has a big role with researching and getting a new information to develop our skills, we can easily access a coach through this media platform.
Provides voice to the voiceless
We can use social media platforms to speak our thoughts and relay our message to the mass media.
It creates opportunities for the jobless
It serves as a new normal job fair for everyone who lacks opportunity outside.
Negative effects of social media
Insufficiency of our life appearance
Usually,it happens because the more we browse and scroll our Facebook the more we can see what are the things that we are lacking , like beautiful houses, lots of money, more fun adventures ,and leisure in this world that are unattainable.
Fear of missing out
This is an issue in which "we need to belong", whether it's a group of people whom we think that we're alike. Young teens are often felt this way.Most of the time people are seeking a channel where they can be suitable in which the feeling of belonging was fulfilled.
Privacy
Privacy is one of the biggest issues, we can't keep our lives private because we post it on social media, then all the people can see and judge our situations, our lifestyle, and existence. I think to have a separateness in the world was not a normal way of life anymore.
Depression and anxiety
Why we become depressed? It is because what we read and see influenced our way of thinking. The more we get in social media feeds the more we can see ourselves left behind. This was a sad story on this side of this outlet, it creates fear of something that is not happening already.
Fake news
We noticed that there are a lot of fake news on the internet which causes panic and negative reaction to the viewers.There are users who are very irresponsible in posting a story without facts and basis and sometimes it was intolerance with the subject .
Cyberbullying
Bullying happened very often with Facebook, criticizing about physical appearance, pictures, attire, and the looks , the wavy hair and the color of our skin and the different clothing styles. It was stressful all the way. Anyone can be a victim of cyber-attacks regardless of age and social life. Intimidating was an awful act that is punishable by law.
Social media plays a very important role in our life but most in our communication with the family members
Always browsing our social media account
I can relate to this when I see myself browsing my cellphone and I don't realize that my kids and my husband were talking at me and I don't even listen to them. And they were angry at me. It dominates us when we can't manage it properly.
Social media is not good if we become addicted
When we say addictive it is the issue of overuse where it is very harmful to our well being as a person. It is the factor that we used it with our bad motives that hurt and abuse other people.
We all know that social platform is one of a very important tool that we have but let me remind us that we should be responsible in all ways and by any means that we use this, to protect ourself, our family, our mind and heart to the great impact that we can get through it.
Think before you click.
