Analyse both the good and bad effects of a change in society that has occurred or that you would like to see occur
Society has truly come a long way from the stone ages. From writing on a stone to typing on a few keys or speaking to a computer to write full essays. From having to go to someone's house to talk to them to being able to send each other messages in a second. Well, social media has been introduced since then. Sure, it has its positives but it also has cons. Some positives are our ability to find anything quickly, being able to socialise without leaving your house, and the ability to find many new things online. Some cons are that we can be exposed to stuff we shouldn't see, face to face socialisation is slowly going away, and it can be addicting.
Remember when we were younger in elementary and in order to find something out we had to go get books? Well, social media allows us to see anything with a few clicks. It's cool because we don't have to go to the library to look something up now we just type it in in the search box and voila there it is. The bad is that social media can expose us to bad things. Things we shouldn't be seeing. For example, websites that contain adult content or dark content.
Social media has also changed the way we interact with each other. Now, social media allows us to connect with others easily. Simply by going on Snapchat, Instagram, facebook, or twitter we can communicate with one another. The bad though is that face to face interaction is slowly going away. Pretty soon everybody will just be communicating through their gadgets and we won't be able to truly communicate, leaving us lacking is socialisation skills.
Social media can also help us in exploring new things. By going online you can discover new things you didn't know before such as how to design something, how to do something, or how to be better at something. A con in that is the addiction that can come with it.Sure, you can be looking at something, but then you get so immersed in it that you lose track of time. I mean I'm pretty guilty of discovering something new and then end up using up an hour or two watching something about it and then it leads to me watching some dumb video.
In Conclusion, Social media is both a good and bad thing. Yes, there are many ways it can help us such as making communication easier, making our lives easier, and teaching us new things. But, it can also expose us to the bad side of the internet, take away from time to spend with friends and family, and it can be addicting. So, with social media being a big leap in the technological world it can lead to us, the humans taking a step back life-wise.
