Here's a band 9 level answer, about 120 words to your question. I believe social media has a significant influence on our understanding of global events. Nowadays, most people get their news from platforms like Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok rather than traditional media. This allows information to spread rapidly, helping us stay updated and connected with the world in real time. However, social media can also distort our understanding, as misinformation and biased opinions often circulate widely. Algorithms tend to show users content that matches their beliefs, which can create echo chambers and limit balanced perspectives. Overall, while social media helps raise awareness and encourages global communication, it is essential to verify information and think critically to form a more accurate view of world events.
