A group of people believes that social media platforms sites have a significant negative effect on both humans and public. I agree that these applications can lead to various problems. Firstly, they may cause psychological issues, including anxiety, stress and sense of loneliness.Secondly, individuals, especially children, may become more aggressive or violent due to harmful content they are exposed to online.
In today’s digital age, Instagram, Tiktok, Snapchat and many others have become an essential part of daily life. While people are using these platforms,most of them do not post and share the facts there,but put their best looking pictures with perfect physical appearance. Therefore,in today’s modern worlds’ major problem is high beauty standards , especially with teenagers. For example, according to research,ıt has been observed that teenagers, who spent too much time online checking posts ,have become unhappier over the past ten years . They feel more stressed, lonely and anxious because of not having perfect physical treats.
Another serious problem is the bad consequences on social behavior and communication. Many children are exposed to violence and harmful content online, which can affect their actions in real life. While children are watching videos or playing games, unconsciously, they tend to behave like the characters in them . For instance, after watching the blue whale game, some children committed suicide. Another example is that , according to the psychologist in Turkey, children, who watch violent tv series such “kurtlar vadisi”, have been observed to behave similarly at school.
In conclusion, social media platforms might be very dangerous for everyone since they lead to mental proeblems and increase the tendency for violence .
