EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN OUR SOCIETY

in steemph •  7 years ago 

Many of us relies so much in social media, because social media is a tool, so we should used it. God blessed us with free will, now that free will magnified, free will to go on every directions you want, free will on everything. In social media WE ALL WANT TO BE LIKED BUT NOW WE ALL WANT TO BE LIKED BY 16 MILLION AND SOME OF US WILL DO ANYTHING TO BE LIKED.

Social media is slowly programming us to be somebody they want us to be so I guess everybody needs to start soul searching right now because we all need it.

Social media is “RIPPING APART” our society, basic example of this is with our family, families barely talk to each other, children’s and teenagers nowadays wants to chat and talk to their friends via social media more than to talk to their parents, people who barely talk in person but is always chatting in the internet, people who are friends in social media but barely talk to each other in person, eating dinner with family of friends and barely talk because everybody is busy doing something in their phone and I think the most important example is that people share their emotions via social media to get the sympathy and reactions the way they want it to be more than sharing it with your love ones or parents in person because their reactions and comments will not be the same as what you expect it to be.

See this small but meaningful pictures as examples of how social media affects our relationship with one another;

Before the invention of social media, families are very happy spending their dinner with each other.

Now with the effect of social media, families barely speak with each other even on dinner tables.

FAKE NEWS

Many people believes in everything they read or saw in the internet, and when I say they believe it, it means they formulate a one sided judgement regardless of the situations.
This fake news is destroying our society because fake news are everywhere, you can see it on the internet, on tv, on the radio, on the newspapers, etc.,

The problem is how can people differentiate fake news from truth? I myself do not know how, because it is cleanly and perfectly manipulated by people on the top of the market for their own benefits.

Let us spend our time wisely especially on the people we love (Mother, Father, Brothers, Sister, Grandma, Grandpa, Friends).
