Some individuals think that social networking sites affect society in a bad way. Social networks have both positive sides and negative aspects, I agree with this opinion to some extent.
There are many things which affect people in a bad way. One of the biggest aspects is cyberbullying which affects people, especially children. It has many negative sides such as to influence society’s psychology, mental health and to cause stress and depression. Another aspect is that it causes addiction in people. As a result of more use of social networks, people become more addicted to them, because after too much use of these sites, the brain needs more of them and people prefer to use them instead of doing their homework, jobs, and other responsibilities. Social networks always consist of some privacy risks and harmful contests.
On the contrary, social networks have positive effects, too. It builds new communications and these help people to make new friendships and connect with other people. It is a big information center and people can follow news via them. Also, it leads to cultural exchange between individuals and peoples. These sites have positive sides such as connections and learning.
These sites have not only harmful contests but also have valuable things for people. Learning, connection, entertainment are examples for positive sides and cyberbullying, privacy dangers, irrelevant contests for small children are examples to opposing sides of social networks. I agree with this idea, but to some extent, such as networking is not always harmful to society.
