Hello friends.

Is social media actually connecting people?

As everything in this world has two face. Likewise, social media connection towards people also has two faces. Yes, It connects the people worldwide. It connects the people who are in such a distance were we can't travel to meet them. So that we can mingle with different people belongs to different area, which makes us to know their lifestyle and culture. We can also get connected with professors, doctors, scientists or any professionals and make use of them to clarify our doubts. We can also get updated with things that happen worldwide. But on the other face it keeps us away from the people around us. Yes, myself suffered from this my sister who I like a lot and love to spend time will never respect my feeling when she uses social media. It really isolates from people around us. Even the healthy food if we consumed more than the level it acts as poison. Likewise, social media too. So, we have to use it in a healthy way.

As everything in this world has two faces, so it's our choice whether we will connect or isolates from each other.

No doubt, social media help us to connect people who are far from us and whoever we can't meet physically but this connection has less value because, once we are connected with strangers in media we leave our relative, our real friend and our families behind.

In today's life, we spend most of our time in social media with strangers and we don't have time to communicate with our friends and our families to whom we can share our feelings. And whenever we feel sad, feel bored and feel hopeless we share our personal problem through social media with strangers. I don't mean that we should keep ourself separate from strangers but we also should remember our relatives whenever we deal with strangers.

As we all know, to make everyone happy is not possible but if we do remember both our families and our friend, that will be a great achievement in our life.

Thank you all.

Hello Everyone,

Yes, I think social media helps to connect with people. But as we know every coin has its advantages and disadvantages.

So, if we see social media is helping us in many ways from social media platforms we get free notes and resources, and sometimes we get more knowledgeable and valuable points from different sources which helps to clear our points. By using social media we connect with mentors, teachers and speaker which help us.

But if we see other side of the social media then we see that there is a lot of cyberBulling, fraud, fake identify, blackmailing, stealing the information. Some social media like instagram, facebook can cause a lot of bulling and negative influence in the teengers and children because they addictaed to this so much that they can't focus on their life.

So, at last, I want to say that if we use it wisely then it makes us good and intelligent but if we don't use it wisely then if it sufficient to ruin our life.

Yes, Social media is connecting people with different geographical areas. By using some messaging apps we can easily contact our friends, family members. We also make video calls.

By using social media, we have both advantages and disadvantages. By using it in the correct way it is helpful to the needs of our life.

This social media helps us for educational purposes, it also makes our learning way easy. And also business promotions to help their improvement in business. By using social media, nowadays we can easily know the product details by watching Advertisements.

By social media, we can watch daily news very quickly. Popular news was fastly spread through this. So that we can easily know that news.

Through this, we can invite our long-distance friends to our family functions.

We also book our tickets online by using social media to make an easy and comfortable journey.

So, I conclude that social media is actually connected the people.

You know all these points were correct, but there is a different side of social media it's not only about the knowledge we are getting or spreading, it's also about the emotions that we can perceive like from social we can respect our country and get to know more about our country and freedom fighters who had struggled for our country.

Besides that we can also spread our emotions about our parents, teachers and elders, if we are wrong in some of these we can also try to learn and correct our felling's emotional behaviour by observing other's social media profiles, like how they respect their parents, culture, society and nation. So as an account, social media is trying to not only connect people of the same interests but also try to build knowledge, values and feelings in people that can lead their lives, and the future of the nation in a better way.

So, I conclude that by social media we are getting better and growing better day by day.

I firmly believe that social media is connecting people. Social Media has allowed us to connect to our loved ones, whether they are far or near. Parents can always know well well-being and safety of their children through video calls and other social media apps. We can make others feel our presence through just a message.

Social media is helping job seekers connect to recruiters. Because of the connections, recruiters can hire people from different parts of the country. Some apps allow us to help needy people which is an act of humanity. We have seen a live example during the COVID pandemic.

Social media is not only connecting members of the family but also has given us the path to reach our idols, artists, and politicians. We can see how a hashtag on Twitter can bring everybody's attention.

However, we see some negative influences of social media also but it is the user's responsibility to explore the good side of social media.

Social Media is one of the fastest and convenient ways of communication. As we all know that everything has a good and evil side. Using this platform people can raise their voice against a lot of things. We all know that the #metoo campaign was also started at these sites which was a great step towards women empowerment.

Where the women can freely speak about the harassment. It has many advantages like we get news about what is happening around the world. We often don't get a chance to meet friends and family who are staying far away or abroad but, we can stay connected with them through social sites like Facebook or Instagram. Our government is also planning to make digital India.

But, I believe without social media it will not be possible to make digital India. But, some people are addicated to social sites by posting their photos and unlikely stuff. Some people use social sites for their carrier and for the job purpose.

Social media actually connects people. Yes, it's true because wherever we are we can able to access them or find them through social media. There are lot of applications where people can connect with each other like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.

There are many advantages and disadvantages. People can connect with strangers, so people get attracted towards them through applications. There might be a risk as the information provided by them might be fake. Some connections can take you to a place that is like a milestone in your life. People can explore their talent through social media and they can achieve their goals and find their best opportunities through social media. Through social media connections and interactions, they can understand other people's cultures and other new things. By social media, we can find childhood friends by their name so that they can cherish olden days memories and build connections more.

In the case on social media, we generally use a term named virtual, so it's our responsibility to in which ratio we give importance to our real and virtual relationships. Social media helps us a lot in setting connections, networking, gathering information, but in the end, these all are virtual and deserve full importance only, when they become real. Otherwise, these connections or relationships can lead us to fraud, cheating, and lots of other cybercrimes.

We can set a connection or relation with people through social but can't ignore the benefits of person-to-person socializing, and engagement in different outdoor activities. Yes, social media is connecting people but all these connections bear meaning when they get converted from virtual to real. So, in the end, it's our responsibility to convert our virtual connections and relationships into real ones, only then we can get the proper benefit of social media.

Hello everyone, i would like to say pros of this topic -That yes ,social media is connecting people all over the world..
REASON

a) That all children who work in another place not on birthplace are connected to their family, and relations through social media.
b) for example- students who are preparing for exams don't talk to their family members and close ones but they are in touch through WhatsApp (a social media platform), they knew everything about others through social media platforms because they put stories and all...
c)All who are working don't have time to contact daily to everyone but they have touched through social media.
d)All seniors who are placed remain in touch with social media platforms and help juniors and if any student gets placed in the same company then they contact through social media.
e) We can communicate with unknown HR executives by finding out on various social media platforms.
