SOCIAL MEDIA IS ANTI-SOCIAL
To begin with, when I saw this statement I automatically disagreed with it as I think social media, when used to the best of its ability, can open up so many opportunities due to its connectivity it has around the globe. However, after some research into statistics and both the pros and cons of social media I began to lean more toward the anti-social side of the argument. Why I changed my mind was mainly due to the horrific on goings with cyber bullying that I never really deeply thought about up until now. I don't understand how people feel that it's ok to say such nasty and horrible things to a person over the internet that they would never dream of saying to someones face. Why does social media create the sense of disconnection between users and allow them to dehumanise each other?
