Analytical Exposition

I will explain the positive and negative things about social media. But first, what is social media? Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. There are six different types of social media:

1. collaborative projects
2. blogs and microblogs
3. content communities 
4. social networking sites
5. virtual game-worlds
6. virtual social worlds

Social media has changed the way adolescents communicate. But has the change been for the better or worse? It raises a question of whether social media has a positive or negative impact on their communication. 

The positive things we can take from media social are.....

Can you imagine life without TV?, or without computers, the internet, radio, newspapers, or any other form of media? Just imagine a day in your life, without any form of media, how would it feel? We all will have to agree that beyond doubt, life really would be miserable, and so, even though we may not realize it, but the media has become a very important part of our lives.
The media, whether electronic, or printed, is a great convenience to us. It enriches our lives by either informing, educating or entertaining us. It is huge way of conveying public views and opinion to the world, and it promotes freedom of press and speech. The word 'Media' is described in the Oxford English Dictionary as, "Newspapers, radio and television, which convey information to the public". 

The media on its own, does no harm to anybody. It is the society, the people that choose what they want to watch, hear and read. All the media does is conveys the information to you, it is you that decides to watch it, to understand it and to go by

Social media can help people shyness and come out of their shells before interacting face-to-face. Social media allow those with similar interests to connect and converse. I think all teenagers in the world are using social media. Social Media allow people to keep in touch with old friends or those who live far away. We can get new friends from social media. 

With help of social media people can easly communicate without difficulty and has also makes the world a global village where people form other countries can learn another country's culture.The social media is a wonderful thing. It allows us to talk with distant relatives without use the phone.We can also use social media for businesses and public entities to share information with costumers and clients, and to market themselves inexpensively. 

The negative things from media social are.....

The social networks like Twitter, Facebook, instragram and all those other social networks, all have one thing in common and that is cyberbullying. Anybody can do it, especially on the internet. Its bad enough to be bullied in school but just when you think your safe at home you open your facebook to see your messages full with harmful letters or threats. The social network has given people A way anonymously threaten A person withought getting in trouble for it since most kids today almost never tell their parents what's going on in their lives.

Many of us make use of the Internet's facilities to visit websites such as Facebook and Twitter. These websites have allowed us to communicate and get to know people who we are not know of. But have we ever considered if these websites on the Internet are reliable enough to be trusted. For example, many of us have thought that pictures being posted on facebook can be deleted permanently. However,no one knows that albeit though the pictures have been deleted on facebook but the pictures on another websites which supports facebook are not deleted. Can we still trust the internet with our personal information and chat with strangers online? 

According to a newspaper article,"In a recent survey of young Internet users aged 10 to 17, one in five reported they had received unwanted sexual solicitations online, ranging from sexually suggestive comments to strangers asking them to meet them in the real world for sex." The internet is supposed to be safe for the users. Putting ourselves in the victims' shoes,they have to through medical care by psychologists because the online predators have caused a long-term scars in both their hearts and brains which known as trauma.

Conclusion

The social media is a wonderful thing. It allows us to talk with distant relatives without use the phone. But it is ridiculous idea to thing that it does more harm than good. Online video gaming is social media and it allows you have fun time to play these games. It is also good for the economy you know how much the big media network owners get a lot of money. Yes i agree there are some downsides such as cyberbulling but that is not the media's fault. It is the person who posted that. The social media just shows what they put. And the website can take it down like youtube they can take videos down.
