Nowadays, people have very different opinions about social medias. Some of them think that it can destroy people but many are conviced that it's a good way to create social links and meet new people. What about you ?
Nowadays, social medias have taken a huge place in our lives. There are positive and negative opinions about them. On the one hand, it becomes very dangerous to let social medias have an impact in people’s real lives. Indeed, everyone is making himself trouble because of the image of his profile and what his account is made of. Unfortunately some teenagers kill themselves because of cyberbullying. Actually, the problem is that parents give their children a smartphone at a younger age. Then, they grow up in the Internet sphere which is not healthy for them. Indeed, children have to learn and to intellectually educate themselves by reading, learning about the world around them and being curious. Social medias don’t permit people to be creative and imaginative anymore. They also read news and articles that can be fake, but now people, and especially teenagers, don’t check their sources and they don’t realize the importance of doing it. On the hand, social medias can be a way to create social links, to keep in touch with family or friends all over the world, or to share pictures. Some people use social medias as a mean of expression: they dance, draw, sing, write poetry or take pictures. Moreover, an interesting thing of social medias is “influencers” who give some advice on various fields such as fashion, beauty, high tech, sport or DIY. Politicians, actors or powerful personalities use, for example, Instagram, YouTube or Twitter to raise awareness people concerning important subjects. For instance, Greta Thunberg, Malala or Michelle Obama use their influence to give a message on their medias. In closing, I guess that social medias can be a way to express ourselves but we have to be aware of the dangers and the consequences on our lives.
Hello, According to me social medias are a good thing. Today social medias present a real business, for example many influencers use it to offer a content to their audience and then earn money. Or some brands can use it to advertise and thus target a wider audience. We can also meet people and share pictures or communicate with our friends. Lastly, social medias can be used to share a message or make do prevention. However, they can be used to harass people, indeed, is easier to assault people behind a screen. Moreover, everyone can see what we post on social medias so we must be careful. That’s why socials media can be dangerous but if they are used properly, they can be beneficial
Hello, concerning social medias, my opinion is mixed. As many people I use social media everyday. As for everything is negative and positive points. people on social media are very critical and judgy Public people as celebrity’s, politicians... and even people like you and me are bullied everyday on social media’s, and thus it can destroy lives. Also most people who criticize will never do it in person and that’s a very big problem is nowadays because people feel stronger when they are behind a screen. But even if there’s a lot of negative points, social media distracts me, I’m able to follow people I appreciate, I can speak with people all around the world and discuss about many things. Through social networks we can follow the news. Also, on dating websites, people met and stay together for a long time. So I'm quite divided... what are your opinion ?
Social medias have appeard recently, it is an important phenomenon which forces us to think about the impact on people.
Social medias encourage us to socialize, talk with new people and share our passions with the other. Also discover new things and learn informations.
In the other hand because of social medias a lot of people become dependant and spend many hours on their phone, tablet or computer sometimes without learning anythings. it happends that people use it for cyberbullying or sharing pictures without the consent of the person and this can destroy people's lives. Also it can have a very bad influence esepecially on children. It can shows bad things to them and influence them by learning wrong things. An other important problem of the social medias is the fascination of the perfect body who touches adults and children.They look at picture of perfect body share by models and develop complexes and less self confidence.
Social medias are a technological advancement which help a lot of people but because of a bad use it has become for a majority a dangerous tool.
Social media has become a big part of people's lives but I don't think that it is a bad thing.I think that it is a way of discovering new cultures and styles,for example with Instagram one is able to see pictures from all over the world of different people, we can see how they dress and inspire ourselves from their style. However it does mean that there is a globalisation of cultures and of styles which has appeared in the recent years. The typical American style will always be very appealing to a lot of people so therefor it has spread all over the world, people in Nice can wear the exact same clothes as a person in New York or in London. Social media is also obviously a great way of meeting new people but I still think that meeting people in real life is much nicer then just seeing someone's picture and writing to them, I suppose that I am old fashioned in that way, I believe in relationships which have occurred in the typical way such as meeting someone at work, in school or even in a shop.
Hello, I have two opinions: On the one hand, I think social medias can be very dangerous for people who do not know how to use them or for children. Because we do not realize what we can do on social medias, just by publishing something (selfie ...), we expose ourselves. And for children, it's very dangerous because they do not really know the danger and in our world, there are many bad people, and that could cause a lot of things. I am talking about children but this is the case for everyone, children or adults. Then people can be shocked by pictures, videos, etc., or pir, they can be harassed. Web harassment is becoming more prevalent and it is worrying because nobody is protected. And so, because of that, there are a lot of suicides and it's so sad because most of the time they're kids and that's a shame. But on the other hand, people who use social medias well can live a good experience and meet new people, future friends .. And it can really help for shy people because it is sometimes easier to talk behind a phone. And finally thanks to social medias , we can share many things like our travels, recipes, tutorials, etc. ... and it's cool. So, for this subject, I am mixed.
Hello First of all , social medias became important in everyday life of a large part of people . On the one hand, I use social media all day and I think it is a very good way for communication and meet people .That’s why people use it and find it’s a good thing. Secondly, we can speak with friend who are far, for keep connection . Thirdly , social medias can be a opportunately for 2 reasons , we can find work or we can do promotion about one product . That is a big change for the world because for example : you want to communication with you grandmother and the time that need for send a message is very long. On the other hand, social medias can be dangerous because some people died about harassment. More we can be anonymous and make this easier. It is difficult for the harassed to speak at people . I think it’s the only one big problem of social medias.
Hello, sorry I made a mistake: have become important in many people's darly lives,good way of communicating to keep in touch, we can promote a product,communicate,with your grandmother without wasting,time,died because of,speak to people
Hello, concerning social medias, my opinion is mixed. Like people I use social media everyday. Like everything there is negative and positive points. people on social media are very critical and judgy Public people as celebrity’s, politicians... and even people like you and me are bullied everyday on social media’s, and thus it can destroy lives. Also most people who criticize will never do it in person and that’s a very big problem in nowadays because people feel stronger when they are behind a screen. But even if there’s a lot of negative points, social media distracts me, I’m able to follow people I appreciate, I can speak with people all around the world and discuss many things. Through social networks we can follow the news. Also, on dating websites, people met and stay together for a long time. So I'm quite divided... what are your opinion ?
I believe that the question of social media is tricky. On one hand, I guess that you can create real friendship through social media which is really great, you can also talk with people from all over the world. Social media also help artist to gain visibility, which can help them launch their career and nowadays being on social media can even be a job ! But on the other hand, there is also a lot of downside to the use of social media. People are generally more violent online and can send a lot of hate to people they don't even know. Moreover it is also time consuming and using a lot of social media can be unhealthy for people ! To conclude, social media have some advantages but also disadvantages that you have to be aware of .
Hello! Social medias, can be a source of distraction, but there are different problems about this. There are many bad peoples who are behind the screen and write nasty comments. It simple, they a lot of jealousy, so they criticize. Celebreties are very touched by this kind of attack. So, that’s why sometimes there are stars who doesn’t have Instagram or Tweeter… Moreover, peoples are even touch, whereas they are still minor, so it’s very dangerous. This persons who write it called « haters » and they destroy life of many peoples. So, I think it’s a good thing only if we aware, because social media enables to creat links to communicate or again to learn informations.
Hello ! First of all, I think that’s a very difficult topic because everybody has a different view on it. First, social medias dramatically increase intensity of bullying, because they expose us enormously, can provoke mockery and nowadays, cyber bullying affects many children. But I think that the parents need to be careful, and must be sure that nobody is mad at their child. I think that nowadays social medias are really useful because we can find explications, news and some videos if we don’t really understand a lesson, or we can just talk to our friends and have fun. Like everything, it’s bad to abuse it, so I think that social medias are addictive for many young people, who don’t know how to stop and who sometimes give more importance to their virtual lives, rather than their families or school. So when parents give their children permission to sign up, they should ensure that the child is mature enough to manage their application usage time and not put social networks first. Then, of course, social media allows us to make friends, but I think it works if we at least know the person in sight, whether they’re in our high school or living in our city, because if they live away from us, we will have no knowledge in common, no proof that the person is real and well-intentioned, and in these cases I find it dangerous. Many are naive and see no danger when a stranger comes to talk to them on social medias, we must learn to be wary of social medias because they are full of danger To conclude, I think that obviously social medias are extremely dangerous and can hurt the most fragile people, and add a new way to bully a person, even when that person is at home, and thinks she is far from any remark or insult. But I think that these social networks create real evidence of all those who bully people, because sometimes we don’t believe a student because everybody says he’s lying. I also think it allows parents to see if things are going well for their children. For me, social networks are primarily a place for virtual learning, or you just keep strengthening your culture. It’s also a way out of real life, or we can just have fun, and talk to our friends when we can’t see them in the real life.
Social medias nowadays are really often used by young people. In general, users in France use YouTube (69%), Facebook (65%), Instagram (26%), Twitter (24%), Snapchat (23%), WhatsApp (23%), Pinterest (17%), LinkedIn (14%), etc. We can therefore see that the media are important for a majority of people today.
First of all, I think that if so many people in the world use social medias, it is because people are interested in new things. People love to discover new technology systems. This is why people are so interested in new trends.
Then, I will answer the question and give my opinion.
I think that networks/medias can as well make a person progress during their life but also that they can destroy us, especially when we are young. Why ? On the one hand, when you register on a social media, you can learn more about certain events and certain people. In addition we can make friends and share good times with them. Then social networks can sometimes allow people to find jobs. t’s a very convenient way to find people you haven’t seen for a long time. People sometimes have more confidence in themselves on the networks which can be a good as a bad idea. Social media can do a lot of things.
On the other hand, social medias can do bad things. There are several types of bad things. For example, you can become addictive and forget your surroundings, get poor grades and poor health.
Then on social networks, malicious people such as pedophiles, hackers, etc., can influence and allow themselves to harm innocent people. This is the cruel part of social medias, but it must not be forgotten. It can destroy people too. Some people commit suicide because of the hatred and the harm they receive through social networks. It is horrible.
So finally, social medias are interesting for people but everyone who want to use social networks can, but they have to be careful not to be too addicted and be careful of too malicious people.
-can also help people to improve during their lives -some events and some people -Thus -can be good or bad -medias are interesting -who wants -be careful of malicious people too
Hello, Social medias are such a wide topic to debate on. Indeed since it has transformed our way of living by creating new habits and outlets, that's why people oftenly share their scepticism or on the contrary their optimism about it. In my opinion it is neither white nor black. To be clear, innovations always come with drifts and misuse, here the main criticism of social networks is the amount of time spent on them and not in the present, for example spending time photographing a dish rather than tasting it or watching other people's lives rather than reading or seeing friends, so basically the loss of privacy and addiction. But we have to admit that they brought new opportunities like news jobs, it has democratized the on-line press so that we are more aware of what is currently happening, and it's simply entertaining. I'd like to add that social medias had already been used in the past as a weapon by the citizens to oblige the governement and organizations to take actions, we saw it during the crisis in Sudan in 2019 and still currently against the persecution of uighur in China, also with the movement #metoo and so goes on... To conclude with, social medias are therefore enshrined in our societies so it is up to us to accommodate them, to use them wisely and to distinguish between what should remain private and what we are willing to share.
Hello, In my opinion, social media is a great way to stay in touch with family and friends when you want to. There is no doubt it is entertaining. As a student, it's a good way to stay in touch with former teachers, friends and stay up to date with news. It's a very quick way to stay in touch with people. On the other hand, it is very important to know that social media can also be dangerous. We hear a lot of stories about online predators, fake news and other stories like that. It is important to know and beware of the dangers of social media. If used correctly, social media can be a good thing. Juliette Brinon
I have to say that I'm not a big fan of social media. In fact, I have no account in any social media of any kind, because I think that spending time on social networks is wasting one's time. Indeed, social media aren't relevant at all to real life : they only exist on the Internet. Sometimes people can believe that someone they have met in a social network is their friend, but this is false. According to me, no relationship that the Internet provides can be as good as what real life has to offer. Moreover, as the Internet enables people to be anonymous, it is very easy for malicious people to harass others, which can have tragic effects on the victim's life, and to spead fake news and rumors. That is why I don't really like social media.
Hello, I think that this is a very good way to meet new people but nowadays social networks have become very dangerous Harassment has become very frequent on social networks and many suicides follow thereafter
Hi, Social media was created to communicate with other people.
Social media is good because it is a simple way to communicate with people around the world. You can follow the life of your favorite actress or your favorite singer and have information about the world. You can share your opinion, you can create beautiful things, and even sometimes social media is a job for people like influencers.
But social media can be dangerous. People are not always nice and use social media to speak ill of someone or a community. Also, when you post something, it can be seen by a lot of people, so we have to be careful about what we post. Many people are addicted to social media and their phones.
I think we can use social media, but we have to be careful about what we share and not become addicted to it.
hi, I think that social networks are good things but as every good things it includes drawbacks. Social network is something good because you can exchange with someone when you're in American while your friend is in France. If you travel, you can sahre some photos of your stay. You can interact with other people about a picture and you can debate with them by sharing your opinion. But as always, malicious people want to hurt people because they can be jealous,etc... And young people can destroy other persons by sharing fake informations about them without knowing how internet can destroy a life. That's why I think that social network is something good but you have to be vigilant.
Hello! In my opinion, social media is like a double edged-sword, here is why: First of all, social media can be something positive. Indeed, it can help people to socialize more, because you don't have to see the people you're talking to in person. Social media makes it easy to write to anybody that lives on Earth and that is simply amazing. In some way, it makes you discover new cultures, new traditions (things that you wouldn't have known about without social media) through photos and videos. It also gives you a sense of liberty because you are able to post mostly anything that you would like to share with the world. It also gives a sense of integration and relatability because you can find characteristics of yourself through the posts of others. But it has also a negative side to it. Indeed, by repeteadly looking at how other people's lifes are fun and interesting, you may start to think that you're living an uninteresting and boring life. This may cause jealousy as well as self-esteem issues. The best way to fight these thoughts is to tell yourself that people only show snippets of their lifes that they want you to see. Social media can also make you addicted to your phone. Indeed, some people can't seperate themselves from their devices only because of social media. This can become an unhealthy habit and may cause mental health issues. This is my overall opinion on social media. Have a good week JOLIVET Guillaume TS2
Hello, Social media are perceived in as many lights as there are ways to use them so it would be quite long to elaborate on each positive and negative aspect. I think the other students’ comments are very valuable to further illustrate the different uses of social media. In France, in the 19th century, the majority of the population was illiterate therefore only the works of brilliant and clever people were left behind, to study, to reflect upon. Unlike now, when everyone has access to any medium, and can express themselves, unfiltered, and popularity may overpower reason. And that is dangerous as extreme, illogical or harmful ideas can spread faster than ever. Morever, everyone is connected to one another, internationally, so it also increases the risk of coming across malicious people, of being subject to cyberbullying, scams, manipulation, etc. Despite that, as humans, we need to communicate and share our ideas, and thanks to technological progress, we do that in a few clicks and with the rest of the world. From my experience, it is relatively easy to navigate through the sea of opinions, as long as you’re selective. But knowing that words can be used out of context or be interpreted in a complete different way, I prefer to share my thoughts with trusted friends and family, or in an oral debate. Arguing with strangers online wouldn’t be very productive as most people aren’t trying to discuss but to prove the other person wrong. And over time, some seem to forget about real life and how it is completely different than on the Internet. They can even develop an addiction or become narcissistic, which leads to a sense of entitlement, arrogance, disconnection and in 30-40 years, we will see the results of a generation who grew up online. I would conclude by saying that I’m a very reserved person. Though I had my first account in 6th grade, my parents strongly advised me not to share any personal information or any pictures and so far, it has saved me lots of trouble and self-esteem issues. I only use a few social media to follow friends, to post drawings, to stay in touch with my class, and to occasionally post ‘’stories’’ (which I like as they only last 24 hours). My only advice concerning social media is to be very cautious as once something is posted on the Internet, it’s there forever.
Hello ! As we all know it, nowadays social network has become a central place of communication and share and I personally use them a lot for different reasons. On the one hand, social medias are the best platform to communicate with basically everyone in the world ( that has a social media of course) in different ways. For instance i can be trought a champioship online or even by sending messages or speaking about one common hobby. That is a great way to meet knew people that shares a common passion or a common goal. In my case, I met an American on Instagram that is passionate about Formula 1 and now we discuss about every Grand Prix or every news concerning this sport so I personally thinks that it is good for at creating a meeting place for several people with different tastes. Moreover, social medias is a nice way to share our lives and what we are doing, just like a big book about us (I personally don't do this but anyway) On the other hand, social network is a place where bad thing also happens and it can be become dangerous. I obviously think about cyber-bullying which has a lot of consequences on the mental health of certain people. In addition, the other main problem about social medias is that it can be addictive because you always want to see everything, everytime and this can have bad results on your physical health this time. I personally know somebody addicted to his social network Twitter. He is posting things everytime and now it's like he can't live without it so I belive that it is dangerous.
Nowadays, social medias have taken a huge place in our lives. There are positive and negative opinions about them. On the one hand, it becomes very dangerous to let social medias have an impact in people’s real lives. Indeed, everyone is making himself trouble because of the image of his profile and what his account is made of. Unfortunately some teenagers kill themselves because of cyberbullying. Actually, the problem is that parents give their children a smartphone at a younger age. Then, they grow up in the Internet sphere which is not healthy for them.

Hello, I have two opinions:
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, I think social medias can be very
dangerous for people who do not know how to use them
or for children.
Because we do not realize what we can do on social
medias, just by publishing something (selfie ...), we
expose ourselves.
And for children, it's very dangerous because they do not
really know the danger and in our world, there are many
bad people, and that could cause a lot of things.
I am talking about children but this is the case for
everyone, children or adults.
Then people can be shocked by pictures, videos, etc., or
pir, they can be harassed.
Web harassment is becoming more prevalent and it is
worrying because nobody is protected.
And so, because of that, there are a lot of suicides and it's
so sad because most of the time they're kids and that's a
shame.
But on the other hand, people who use social medias well
can live a good experience and meet new people, future
friends ..
And it can really help for shy people because it is
sometimes easier to talk behind a phone.
And finally thanks to social medias , we can share many
things like our travels, recipes, tutorials, etc. ... and it's
cool.
So, for this subject, I am mixed.

For me, social networks are primarily a place for virtual learning, or you just keep strengthening your culture. It’s also a way out of real life, or we can just have fun, and talk to our friends when we can’t see them in the real life.
Hello !
ReplyDeleteSocial medias nowadays are really often used by young people. In general, users in France use YouTube (69%), Facebook (65%), Instagram (26%), Twitter (24%), Snapchat (23%), WhatsApp (23%), Pinterest (17%), LinkedIn (14%), etc. We can therefore see that the media are important for a majority of people today.
First of all, I think that if so many people in the world use social medias, it is because people are interested in new things. People love to discover new technology systems. This is why people are so interested in new trends.
Then, I will answer the question and give my opinion.
I think that networks/medias can as well make a person progress
during their life but also that they can destroy us, especially when we are young.
Why ?
On the one hand, when you register on a social media, you can learn more about certain events and certain people. In addition we can make friends and share good times with them. Then social networks can sometimes allow people to find jobs. t’s a very convenient way to find people you haven’t seen for a long time. People sometimes have more confidence in themselves on the networks which can be a good as a bad idea.
Social media can do a lot of things.
On the other hand, social medias can do bad things.
There are several types of bad things.
For example, you can become addictive and forget your surroundings, get poor grades and poor health.
Then on social networks, malicious people such as pedophiles, hackers, etc., can influence and allow themselves to harm innocent people. This is the cruel part of social medias, but it must not be forgotten. It can destroy people too. Some people commit suicide because of the hatred and the harm they receive through social networks. It is horrible.
So finally, social medias are interesting for people but everyone who want to use social networks can, but they have to be careful not to be too addicted and be careful of too malicious people.
I made some mistakes :
Delete-can also help people to improve during their lives
-some events and some people
-Thus
-can be good or bad
-medias are interesting
-who wants
-be careful of malicious people too
Hello,
ReplyDeleteSocial medias are such a wide topic to debate on. Indeed since it has transformed our way of living by creating new habits and outlets, that's why people oftenly share their scepticism or
on the contrary their optimism about it.
In my opinion it is neither white nor black. To be clear, innovations always come with drifts and misuse, here the main criticism of social networks is the amount of time spent on them and not in the present, for example spending time photographing a dish rather than tasting it or watching other people's lives rather than reading or seeing friends, so basically the loss of privacy and addiction.
But we have to admit that they brought new opportunities like news jobs, it has democratized the on-line press so that we are more aware of what is currently happening, and it's simply
entertaining. I'd like to add that social medias had already been used in the past as a weapon by the citizens to oblige the governement and organizations to take actions, we saw it during the crisis in Sudan in 2019 and still currently against the persecution of uighur in China, also with the movement #metoo and so goes on...
To conclude with, social medias are therefore enshrined in our societies so it is up to us to accommodate them, to use them wisely and to distinguish between what should remain private and what we are willing to share.
I made a mistake:
Delete- since it has transformed our lives ;
Hello,
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, social media is a great way to stay in touch with family and friends when you want to. There is no doubt it is entertaining. As a student, it's a good way to stay in touch with former teachers, friends and stay up to date with news. It's a very quick way to stay in touch with people. On the other hand, it is very important to know that social media can also be dangerous. We hear a lot of stories about online predators, fake news and other stories like that. It is important to know and beware of the dangers of social media. If used correctly, social media can be a good thing.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I'm not a big fan of social media. In fact, I have no account in any social media of any kind, because I think that spending time on social networks is wasting one's time. Indeed, social media aren't relevant at all to real life : they only exist on the Internet. Sometimes people can believe that someone they have met in a social network is their friend, but this is false. According to me, no relationship that the Internet provides can be as good as what real life has to offer.
Moreover, as the Internet enables people to be anonymous, it is very easy for malicious people to harass others, which can have tragic effects on the victim's life, and to spead fake news and rumors.
That is why I don't really like social media.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a very good way to meet new people but nowadays social networks have become very dangerous
Harassment has become very frequent on social networks and many suicides follow thereafter
Hi,
ReplyDeleteSocial media was created to communicate with other people.
Social media is good because it is a simple way to communicate with people around the world. You can follow the life of your favorite actress or your favorite singer and have information about the world. You can share your opinion, you can create beautiful things, and even sometimes social media is a job for people like influencers.
But social media can be dangerous. People are not always nice and use social media to speak ill of someone or a community. Also, when you post something, it can be seen by a lot of people, so we have to be careful about what we post. Many people are addicted to social media and their phones.
I think we can use social media, but we have to be careful about what we share and not become addicted to it.
hi,
ReplyDeleteI think that social networks are good things but as every good things it includes drawbacks.
Social network is something good because you can exchange with someone when you're in American while your friend is in France. If you travel, you can sahre some photos of your stay. You can interact with other people about a picture and you can debate with them by sharing your opinion.
But as always, malicious people want to hurt people because they can be jealous,etc... And young people can destroy other persons by sharing fake informations about them without knowing how internet can destroy a life.
That's why I think that social network is something good but you have to be vigilant.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, social media is like a double edged-sword, here is why:
First of all, social media can be something positive. Indeed, it can help people to socialize more, because you don't have to see the people you're talking to in person. Social media makes it easy to write to anybody that lives on Earth and that is simply amazing. In some way, it makes you discover new cultures, new traditions (things that you wouldn't have known about without social media) through photos and videos. It also gives you a sense of liberty because you are able to post mostly anything that you would like to share with the world. It also gives a sense of integration and relatability because you can find characteristics of yourself through the posts of others.
But it has also a negative side to it. Indeed, by repeteadly looking at how other people's lifes are fun and interesting, you may start to think that you're living an uninteresting and boring life. This may cause jealousy as well as self-esteem issues. The best way to fight these thoughts is to tell yourself that people only show snippets of their lifes that they want you to see. Social media can also make you addicted to your phone. Indeed, some people can't seperate themselves from their devices only because of social media. This can become an unhealthy habit and may cause mental health issues.
This is my overall opinion on social media.
Have a good week

Hello,
ReplyDeleteSocial media are perceived in as many lights as there are ways to use them so it would be quite long to elaborate on each positive and negative aspect. I think the other students’ comments are very valuable to further illustrate the different uses of social media.
In France, in the 19th century, the majority of the population was illiterate therefore only the works of brilliant and clever people were left behind, to study, to reflect upon. Unlike now, when everyone has access to any medium, and can express themselves, unfiltered, and popularity may overpower reason. And that is dangerous as extreme, illogical or harmful ideas can spread faster than ever. Morever, everyone is connected to one another, internationally, so it also increases the risk of coming across malicious people, of being subject to cyberbullying, scams, manipulation, etc.
Despite that, as humans, we need to communicate and share our ideas, and thanks to technological progress, we do that in a few clicks and with the rest of the world. From my experience, it is relatively easy to navigate through the sea of opinions, as long as you’re selective.
But knowing that words can be used out of context or be interpreted in a complete different way, I prefer to share my thoughts with trusted friends and family, or in an oral debate. Arguing with strangers online wouldn’t be very productive as most people aren’t trying to discuss but to prove the other person wrong.
And over time, some seem to forget about real life and how it is completely different than on the Internet. They can even develop an addiction or become narcissistic, which leads to a sense of entitlement, arrogance, disconnection and in 30-40 years, we will see the results of a generation who grew up online.
I would conclude by saying that I’m a very reserved person. Though I had my first account in 6th grade, my parents strongly advised me not to share any personal information or any pictures and so far, it has saved me lots of trouble and self-esteem issues. I only use a few social media to follow friends, to post drawings, to stay in touch with my class, and to occasionally post ‘’stories’’ (which I like as they only last 24 hours).
My only advice concerning social media is to be very cautious as once something is posted on the Internet, it’s there forever.

Hello !
ReplyDeleteAs we all know it, nowadays social network has become a central place of communication and share and I personally use them a lot for different reasons. On the one hand, social medias are the best platform to communicate with basically everyone in the world ( that has a social media of course) in different ways. For instance i can be trought a champioship online or even by sending messages or speaking about one common hobby. That is a great way to meet knew people that shares a common passion or a common goal. In my case, I met an American on Instagram that is passionate about Formula 1 and now we discuss about every Grand Prix or every news concerning this sport so I personally thinks that it is good for at creating a meeting place for several people with different tastes.
Moreover, social medias is a nice way to share our lives and what we are doing, just like a big book about us (I personally don't do this but anyway)
On the other hand, social network is a place where bad thing also happens and it can be become dangerous. I obviously think about cyber-bullying which has a lot of consequences on the mental health of certain people.
In addition, the other main problem about social medias is that it can be addictive because you always want to see everything, everytime and this can have bad results on your physical health this time. I personally know somebody addicted to his social network Twitter. He is posting things everytime and now it's like he can't live without it so I belive that it is dangerous.
