Social
media, one of the issue for today’s generation. One of these social medias is
the facebook. Is facebook good or bad? Well, there are always two sides of
everything; it depends on your perspective on how you perceive it. The same
goes for facebook, most people admire it as a revolutionary invention and some
seem to take it as a negative impact on the society.
Facebook started as a place to connect with your
friends in an easy and convenient way. Truly speaking, many of you might have
found your old friends from school or college who were out of touch due to one
reason or other, well I would say I have and I thank social networks for this
specifically facebook. Facebook has provided us the opportunity to connect with
people and build better relationships with friends with whom we are unable to
meet personally, and let them know about our life and share about their lives
and events happening with them.
-Reducing Communication Barriers:
With this social networking sites we are able to
communicate our thoughts and perceptions over different topics with a large
number of audiences, and raise our voice. The sharing of thoughts available on
the facebook makes your opinion about any topic reach huge number of people
(even to those who are not on your friends list). We have the option to make
groups with people who are like minded and share the related news with them and
ask for their opinion or input about the topic. And simply building a relationship
with people.
-Opportunities:
Facebook is one of the ways on having opportunities
like in business, for example, those online business (cloth line, foods and
many more) in just posting pictures with details in facebook people can now buy
or sale things they want. An online business.
As a student an important benefit of having or
using this facebook is the ability of facebook to make students feel socially
connected, with a greater sense of community. This can be beneficial in
boosting students’ self-esteem.
But aside from this good/advantage of having or
using facebook, there’s also bad/disadvantage. As we have also seen in the
news, facebook can also have a negative effect on emotional health when abused
by cyberbullies. Another is many students having lower grades from their tests
because when they were studying they were checking their facebook instead of
practicing for their tests that they have to practice. It change mindsets, with facebook, people think that wearing
new clothes, taking photos is the ultimate goal. It has distracted them from
main purpose in life and turned them into insensitive zombies, and fakers. No
one cares about reality anymore. It makes people jealous and makes them
followers.
People have forgotten
what's truly important in life. We live in a sad, sad world when it's more important to read about
what total strangers are having for dinner, what they may or may not be doing
in their "real lives", where they may or may not be on vacation, etc.
than it is to sit and have a face to face conversation with your
spouse/family/friends. Wake up people!!!! And realize what's truly important in
life....Before you look back and realize it's too late.
I believe facebook change the
world. It opened a new way of communication. If we use facebook like how it
intended to be used it will bring lots of opportunities and advantages. But if
we uses it for our own stupid ideas like blackmailing someone then it will
cause a lot of trouble. Remember that anything that is too much/abuse is bad.
