Argumentative Essay
Social Media
While many people argue that Social media sites like Facebook or
Twitter cause cyber bullying, social detachment, and poor grades, the fact of the matter is that social media helps people make friends, shy people can improve their social lives, and brings friends closer. Although many of the arguments against social media are true, many can be fixed easily by blocking the other user or simply stepping away from the screen. Also the benefits far outway the costs by bring people closer, helping shyness and creating new friends.
Some people argue that social media is the root of cyber bullying, but in fact accoerding to internetsafety101.org: 80% say they have defended the victim. People often defend victims and stand together. Social media unites people against hate and discrimination. Often people create groups or pages to help support these people. The facts speak for themselves: According to internetsafety101.org, only 7% of U.S. parents are worried about cyberbullying. The fact of the matter is that social media has taken many steps to help prevent cyberbullying and have been very successful.
One of the many arguments against social media is it causes social detachment. But from personal experience I can say without a doubt that facebook has brung me a better social life by granting me the ability to plan events or get togethers
with my friends with simple status updates or messages. It truly makes having a social life easier. Before I had a facebook I rarely left my house to hang out with friends. Social media is a tool many people around to the world use to help become more connected to the people around them
Another argument against social media is the claim that it interferes with school work and causes poor grades, but i must say that nine times out of 10 when i need help on an assignment i go to facebook or twitter and ask about and always receive the help i need.
