Connecting people from the globe and eliminating the need for the physical existance. Additionally, it became a voice for those who are struggling to be heard or seen, especially those who are experiencing injustice and abuse in their country. A prime example of this, the crime wars that are captured and posted daily by many Plastinians IN Gaza documenting the agony of many residents.
On the other hand, socials are known for their destructive impacts, like, lowering the self- esteem of young generations particularly the teen-agers, who are in a phase of their life, where they can be easily intimidated by fake photo-shopped pictures of models and celebrities.
