    Though an extremely new medium, social media has seemed to completely alter the way Americans think, especially among the Millennial generation. It is another perfect example of how our lack of sense and reason has transformed something that was designed to increase our social capabilities into a way to rant, boast, and bully. Instead of using social media to communicate and connect positively, our society has used it to create countless issues and distractions that only deter and detract from developing our social…

    I don’t have to define to you what social media is, we all use it on a daily basis. If I was speaking to an older audience I may have to explain, but to be honest most of you are going to go home and log onto Facebook. It has always been a part of our world and it probably always will be. Sadly, one part of social media that we are very aware of is that it is often used to harm, to hurt – this is clearly evident in the numerous accounts of cyber bullying. I do not intend to pretend that there aren’t negative aspects of social media; I am simply trying to emphasise the enormous power and influence that it holds. If we could harness this power and rather use it to protect and assist in law enforcement the advantages would be tremendous.…

    According to the fourth annual study on Civility in America: A Nationwide Survey, conducted by global public relations firm Weber Shandwick “for the first time since the survey began in 2010 the Internet/social media has risen into the top ranks of perceived causes of incivility. Of those who expect civility to worsen in the next few years, 34 percent blame Twitter – a significant rise from 2012.”(Shandwick 1) Cyber bullying has become a large issue in the U.S. In Amanda Todd’s video my story: Struggling, bullying, suicide, self-harm, on YouTube is a horrible example of cyber bullying.

    What an individual does in social media or cyberspace are quite different to their behaviour in real life. One of example of how it differs is cyber-bullying. Many people bullies other people through social media because they are afraid of the consequences that may occur if he/she does it in real life. The biggest fear taking place is how teenagers are not learning how to act in face-to-face conversation. We need to realize that conversations in cyberspace may not be translated in real life, making kids slowly losing their social skills.

    Furthermore, society feels compelled to communicate primarily through social media i.e. Facebook, twitter, and text, which in return removes the emotion or meaning that would normally be perceived through context and body language. This ultimately hinders the communication process and leaves emotionally charged or potentially risky conversations open to personal interpretation weather it be positive or negative. According to Olenski’s article and a study that was led by Joseph Grenny, 2013, “nearly 4 in 5 people are seeing increased incivility on social media, and 2 in 5 have unfriended or blocked family, friends or coworkers as a result.” Additionally, “76 percent of respondents have witnessed an argument on social media, 88 percent believe people are less polite on social media than in person and 1 in 5 reduced in-person contact with someone over a cyber fight.” (Olenski, S., 2013) Unfortunately, social media has evolved into a phenomenon that isolates and baselessly divides society, as humans align themselves as targets by senselessly posting without…

    I believe social media is normally a good thing, but can also be used to harm or harass people. In some cases social media has been known to link long lost family members that either didn’t know existed or just fell out of touch with. On the other hand social media has been known to spread hate, and this is where I believe most of the controversy about social media comes from. On the very radical side social media has been used to recruit gang and isis members, but even though this happens, it is not very common at all. Another controversy about social media is cyber bullying. I do not believe in cyber bullying, because if you are getting made fun or harassed on social media, you can always just turn off your phone, computer, or go somewhere…

    For instance, It can cause cyberbullying. Kathy also said “They can't escape the constant barrage of negative posts.” This is cyberbullying because when kids get a bunch of negative posts directed towards them they feel less than others. Which ends ends up making them low-spirited. Also, social media connects us to our friends but also our enemies. This shows that kids can connect to their friends while talking to them.
