The impact of social media on society

Social media has been around for a long time and has many pros and cons to it. Social media is seen as a very powerful tool. It has grown greatly throughout the years. 

 

Social media has connected people all over the world. Some examples of this are when you have a long distance friend, relationship or family member you can communicate through email, messages, etc. or when you're away for vacation you can post on instagram, snapchat, etc. Social media can also empower communities through social movements

 

Social media can also have some negative aspects such as cyberbullying, miscommunication, or the spread of fake news. These aspects can contribute to someone's mental or physical health. Social media is also used to promote businesses or small companies. It helps advertise their marketing or customer interaction. 

 

Social media can be involved with memories, ideas, and support. It has a big role with sharing certain information or aspects in life. Social media has many benefits and helps the world all together. Society has become better and stronger with the use of social media.

 

Have you ever been impacted by social media, if so was it in a negative or postitive way?

 

Do you think social media is beneficial to society? 

 

How do you think small businesses would be affected if social media went away?

  • This topic was done to death last semester and it isn't a history related. You should have expanded more on the history of social media.

  • I have been impacted by social media, not really in a negative or positive way. I think social media has benefits and disadvantages to society for lots of of different reasons. I think a small business would not do as well because they would have to find other ways to advertise. 

  • Yeah I have learned alot of things formt he internet adn social media. yes i think it is benificial to the the society beucase it can teach so many things instead of going to the a place to learn or have it done for you saving you money. I think it wouold affect small businesses alot becuase alot of them are known becuase of there social media status.

  • Social media is used for both the good and the bad. I think it can be beneficial for news and getting information out to people, but a lot of people use it against other people in a negative way. Small businesses wouldn't be able to advertise so they wouldn't get any people to come in.

  • I think I have been impacted and was both bad and good. I think it can and can't be benificial to society. I think that it would make it harder to promote their businesses.

  • I think that I have been impacted by social media, but I don't think it was that bad. I feel like getting a phone and social media changed how my perspective because I was able to see other people's opinions other than my close friend and family's. I feel like it's both beneficial and bad for society. I feel like it would impact them pretty badly.

  • Yes, I have been impacted by social media before and I think it has been both ways. I think that social media can be benefical to society to a point, and I think that small businesses would drop a lot.

  • I have been impacted by social media every day like everyone else. I think social media has been a big game changer for small businesses that want to grow and thrive. I think social media has been very beneficial to society because it has brought awareness to everyone.

  • I have been inpacted by social media, it was in a negative way. I started spending a couple of hours a day on random apps that weren't helping me. So, I deleted the apps that I was spending too much time on. I don't think that social media's pros outweight the cons.

  • There has definitely been times where I was impacted by social media postitively and negatively, but not in huge ways. I think that social media can be beneficial to society, although at the same time it's not. Small businesses would be affected if social media went away because they wouldn't have a way to promote their business.
