The Role of Social Media in Modern Society

in hive-109435 •  4 days ago 

We can not deny the fact that in this present world we find ourselves, the world of social media has actually dominated almost every sector of our world shaping our modern life around. Nowadays we have platforms like Facebook, Instagram and many more that have evolved which have actually gone a long way to actually change how we connect with people across every aspect of the world.

We now have social media that have given a lot of benefits beyond what we can ever imagine but nevertheless as even with those benefits, it also comes with its own challenges that I believe one needs to look into in this present society that we actually find ourselves in before it is too late.

But before then, I want to briefly talk about some of the immense benefits that social media have to offer to us. The first is what will call global connectivity. When I talk about global connectivity, I am actually taking about the possibility to be able to connect to different sphere of the world as it allows us to share ideas, cultures and even experiences together.

The second one is that it helps to build this social change that I strongly believe is quite so needed. With social media, a lot of people can voice out their opinions about some certain issues about life and will not be rejected. It also have allowed the smooth exchange of information and education all around the world which is a very vital point also in fact that I strongly believe is needed in this our present world we find ourselves.

But even with those lots of benefits that it offers, I will say there are a whole lot of challenges of social media that is actually attached to it. The first is sometimes social media can lead to what I called misinformation and the spreading of fake news. There have been rapid unverified information that have been spreading recently which I believe if it is not tackled can actually lead to something negative to our society.

Well that is not even only the one self, I also noticed that social media can also lead to mental health impact as I am talking about the negative side. This is the side that I believe needs to be looked into before it also goes out of hand. Sometimes the use of social media can lead to anxiety, depression and even low self esteem and that needs to be tackled before it goes out of hand.

Well talking about the future of social media that lies ahead, even with those challenges, well I strongly believe that it is something that with time will be tackled and when it is full tackled, this world will be a better place to be. I am seeing the social media transforming a lot of the world around and this is just the beginning. Just that we ourselves must be very cautious of the way we make use of social media so that we can streamline it and so it will not go out of hand, that is just what I strongly believe.
