Yet some may challenge the view that Social Media apps are a reliable and effective method of communicating, Sherry Turkle stresses people are substituting online communication for face-to-face interaction. Although Turkle may only seem of concern to only a small group of people, it should in fact concern anyone who cares about the negative effects social media can have on people. In her eyes, nothing can replace person-to-person communication. Turkle herself writes that people who spend

Social media plays a big role in how society portrays body image. “Alternatively, an increased number of Facebook friends may provide girls with greater opportunity to rapidly make multiple social comparisons, itself shown to be associated with body image concern”(Tiggemann and Slater 82). According to the survey that was taken by Marika Tiggemann and Amy Slater, the more Facebook friends the girls had, the more likely it was that they had body image concerns. They were able to compare themselves to the other girls that they were friends with, which led to them to have an increase in their drive for thinness. “Further, these comparisons are likely to be with somewhat idealised images, in that girls mostly post photographs in which they look good or are doing something ‘cool’ (and can be digitally altered)”(Tiggemann and Slater 82).

Social media is a very dangerous place that makes teens feel insecure. Teens spend more than one-third of their day on social media looking at stereotypical images of “perfect” bodies and people. As a result, they become insecure about themselves because they are not like the people in the pictures. The media states that a perfect person is skinny, tan, has shiny hair, straight teeth, and completely clear skin. However, because teens are going through a lot of physical changes they do not usually look like social media 's definition of perfect and they become insecure. Social media makes teenagehood harder by creating a stereotype of what a perfect body should look like, celebrating extremely thin, unhealthy

Social media is a powerful source in today’s society, 81% of the population in the United States alone has set up a social media profile. Many use the media for useful things, like educational opportunities and business inquiries. Although there are people who may look at it more in a concerning aspect. Many people today view the social media as a stage where they are judged and told what the real way to look and act is, more specifically, body image. Social Media has a negative impact on body image, through creating a perfect view physically which affects someone mentally, targeting both male and female, and turning away from the real goal of social media.

According to research done around the world, there are over seven billion people on the planet and over three billion are active Internet users.

Individuals around the world revolve their lives around the internet each day and they end up losing themselves and the truth of fabricated information. With losing ourselves, we start to believe

The presented image tends to display the updated fashion that society should buy and dress like. It is misconceived that oneself will be more acceptable and likeable if they are fashionable and appealing. Many girls wear excessive amounts of makeup via this same belief, the belief that they will be rejected or disregarded if they fail to fulfill this precedent. With this precedent, social media has sculpted the “ideal body” that people should strive for. On top of being fashionable and attractive, the ideal body is commonly fit and in shape.

Freedom. You hear about it everywhere. On the news, blaring off of the tv, and in ordinary people’s conversations. With all this constant discussion and argument, you may think how free even are we and what even is freedom? Looking deeper into it, you can definitely see that while everyone has at least a smidgen of freedom, which can vary in amount, absolutely no one can ever be one hundred percent free. Freedom is a exquisitely diverse topic. For instance, one person could suppose that the world is truly free now, as it’s much better than it was 1,000 years ago. However, there some like me who suppose that though it is better, there are still plenty of issues in how freedom works.

Over the decades the usage of mass media for promoting political campaigns has evolved, from the type of platforms being used to the necessity of social media in an advanced world filled with technology. Franklin D. Roosevelt may have been the first person to use the then foreign concept of media for his political campaign, however, now there is not a single person in the political realm who does not use social media.

Despite being an underdog in the gubernatorial election, Delaine uses social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to relay her campaign, which mainly focuses on education, the economy, and healthcare for all, to the mass.

Online writing is not an easy task. It requires a lot of time and efforts to earn for recognition but not just pennies instead. It’s a reward for those who have worked whole-heartedly. It’s a proven fact that people who have really worked for online writing have a more comfortable life, but of course not become the riches like Bill Gate. The wealth gathered here is a matter of time, not overnight of course, but over a period of time. It tends to be slowly in nature. Some really acquire good pay via online writing several years later. As in my case, from February 2008 up to now, I’m paid over 100 every month by Triond. I remembered that my first month income in June, 2007 was only $0.60.

Proponents of Western culture’s influence on society will often praise the new clothing styles and trends or innovative fashion designers. However, there is one social group that continues to be heavily impacted by the social constructs formulated among those in the Western society: women.

With the implemented preconceived notion that beauty is derived from being tall, thin, and hourglassed shaped, women have resorted to unhealthy eating trends to compensate for their low self esteem. With the considerable amount of research conducted on how Western culture influences eating disorders upon young women, it was reported that
