In today’s fast-paced world, the media and the internet paly a crucial role in our day to day lives. While some believe that social media could waste our important time and compromise privacy, I contend that media could have both pros and cons and I will elaborate on my opinion.
To begin with, some argue that the media could be detrimental to human society. They state that a large part of our time in the day is devoted to social media. As a result,we forget to do other work or activities like hanging out with friends , family and doing physical activities. Although people share their holidays and weekend activities with other people, by posting photos or videos on social media they seriously sacrifice their lives, even private ones, with stangers.
However, it is obvious that the latest news is released by social media, at the moment . In the past , people all over the world waited for the morning newspapers or cable TV channel to be aware of what was happening across the globe. Fortunately, nowadays , thanks to social media such as X, Facebook, Instagram, the news spreads all over the world in a second and there is a no difference between people various countries. For example, the news about COVID-19 in China was broadcasted all over the world
Quickly and other countries had a chance to do some precautionary acts in order to prevent this virus. In addition ,we can change our social media’s privacy and policy setting to prevent misuse. Thus, by social media and the internet ,it is much easier than in past to know about a verity of news and events, like political, social, and economic ones.
In conclusion, while some people argue that the media should be banned and restricted due to some reasons, regardless of all these causes, I strongly believe in the freedom to use social media for any purpose, because it is capable of increasing our awareness about the world’s latest news.
