SUMMARY

The society is changing everyday, where the internet and other forms of social media are constant in everyday lives of individuals. Social media can be helpful at times, where people can reconnect with their loved one’s but it can also be detrimental if people do not learn to use it right. People sometimes get addicted to the social media and ignore the real world around them; isolating themselves from civilization which creates the way individuals behave. If people are isolating themselves from human contact, then they do not pick up key characteristics that would have been obtained if they did make contact with someone else. Social media is regarded as a form of escape, when people keep constantly using it as an escape they forget the outside world. As time progresses, this escape molds the person’s perspective and attitude about the world. In the end people become distant from other beings and have a fear of connecting due to the feeling of being uncomfortable. When people isolate themselves for a while, being without others becomes habitual, and disrupting constant actions can make people feel at unease. So individuals choose to remain lonely, affecting their mindset and harming their social skills. How do people learn to interact with others, when they do not attempt to speak to others. The number way of learning is through communicating between individuals.

Before the Rise of Social Media

What is SOCIAL MEDIA?

Negative Outcome Due To Social Media

Social Media has many definitions depending on the person who is defining it.

Social Media means:

  • materials created and shared by people using free websites to create and post their own images, video and text information and have the option of sharing with a group of friends or any random person on the internet.
  • A social instrument for communication.
  • Various activities that mix together technology, social interaction, editing of pictures, texts, and videos.

Social Media is Negative When:

Before the internet and other social medias launched :

  • Individuals used to be very social.
  • Face-to-face communication was of the norm.
  • People were much friendlier than they are now.
  • People actually enjoyed the company of others.
  • Most activities where done outside and daily physical activity were being committed.

For example, from being in sports clubs, to just going out to the park to hang out with friends. Events and people were moving along.

  • People developed their social skills from the environment around them. So when people did not have the social media (texting, internet, etc) to fall back on they took it upon themselves to make entertainment for themselves.
  • People used to go outside their homes and roam around, take up hobbies, and be surrounded by friends.

Social Media consist of Social Networks

  • People use social media as a wall, blocking other people.
  • If used wrong, it is a distraction to life and can become of an addiction.
  • People can obtain an internet-related psychological disorder where they use the internet or any other forms of social media as an escape.
  • Instead of people going outside and enjoying the nice weather, they rather just surf the web or use different forms of social media to find comfort.
  • People hide behind the screens and portray an identity that is not really theirs.
  • Social media can make people develop low self-esteem and if not careful and can be used as cyber bullying.
  • The negative effects vary from isolating oneself from society to developing a lower standard of oneself.
  • Social media can affect the future as much as it is affecting the present day.
  • The social media has the ability to shape one’s personality; where a person can change from an extrovert to an introvert.
  • Social media is very powerful, where it can make the person act certain ways and obtain certain characteristics due to the impact of social media.
  • It can make the individual into a shy person, or it can make the person ignore the outside world.
  • For example, where there ever a time you saw someone who looked familiar and you used your social media to ignore acknowledging them? Another example would be wanting to text instead of making phone calls?
  • Now the younger generations are immersed in different social medias that they rather use their phones as texting devices than as calling devices, where people feel uncomfortable if they talk to their friends on the phone. This feeling of uneasiness due to associating oneself with others is a huge problem that needs to be conquered or the future for these people are detrimental.
