Social networking sites are becoming increasing popular.

However,it is argued that

they adversely affected the society as a whole as well as individuals.While I
strongly believe that these sites have been beneficial to individuals,they have
definitely harmed local communities.

It is no doubt that social media websites have been advantagous to individuals for
various reasons.First and foremost,they are now used as a method of
communication.For instance,Facebook has made it easier to keep in touch with
people from all over the world since you have the opportunity to check their
profiles and even their interests.Suprisingly,researchers claimed that over 30% of
today’s relationships are a result of meeting on the social networking sites.Not
only are these sites used as a way to communicate,but it is also used as a sourse of
information about everything in the world.As there are multiple people exploring
and learning same things they can share their ideas on the platform that others can
also learn from.This can be very helpful for the development of an individual.

On the contrary,there can be virtual communities for anything and everything,these

platforms can be used to share false information aming the members.As a result,it
might create a chaos in the physical world which can potentially grow to a large
area.One such incident happened a year ago in Mumbai,a false information of
higher secondary exams being cancelled was spread by a Facebook page,the fake
information created chaos among the candidates.This then took great efforts to
manage the situation by the authorities.These are the events that turn out to be
harmful to the society due to social media.

In conclusion,many negative aspects that must be considered by individuals or

communities when they use social media could contribute to social interation
impairment.Subsequently,well manegement should be run to focus our both social
media and real daily living.
