Hello Everyone.

Yes, Social Media connects the People.

I can justify my statement with the Following Mentioned Reasons.

1) Through Social Media, you can get any update from any part of the country within a Fraction of the time. If something happens in any part of the world, you get Quick Updates within half an hour.

2) You can talk to your Friends, even with your family members, and also with strangers across the world instantly.

But yeah, it has some negative impact also:

Today, we live in the world of AI, and someone is keeping an eye on you through the dark web, and you may not be aware of that.

Also, at the same time, rumours get spread through social media very instantly.

And last but not least, due to Social media, the government of a country also gets changes.

Like Nepal is the Example that we have.

Yes, no doubt about it is that social media connect people but it matters that how it connecting by virtually or by heart relation. Nowadays, social media is a weapon for a person where they can express their views independently. We can get contact with our long last friends. As contrast people are so busy in social media as they are ignoring their real relation as a result when he/she needs a friend in tough situation there is no one with him/her to vent feelings. Apps used to connect with people depend on person to person if one is choosing someone as close//friend then one should be careful before this as it is online you have not surety about that person that he/she wants your good/bad.

As conclusion want to say that definitely social media connect people but paralleling people are losing real ones as well.

Hello Everyone.

My name is Hrucha. I'm glad to have this opportunity.

Today's GD is based on the current scenario.

Yes, Social media is such a a great platform for connecting people. Using this, we can share our thoughts and ideas with others. We can also take their opinion. It is really good for personal development and career growth. Only we should know how to use it efficiently. It is a great platform for growing our business. We all know Mr. Ritesh Agarwal, founder of Zoho. He started his business at an early age. He uses social platforms to gain knowledge and connect with people.

Means that we can make something innovative.

During the COVID-19 situation, It plays a good role in connecting with people. That we are.

Unable to meet people. Overall, it's a good platform to connect with people.

Thank You.

Hello Everyone.

With reference to the given topic i.e. "Social media actually connecting people".

My point of view is yes, it connects people. Helps people to interact with each other to see what's going on others life it helps to chat with each other also their are many influencers, freelancers who uses this platform to earn money.

However it has disadvantages too. On social media it is next to impossible to show our emotions, understanding others emotions, feelings through chat/ text which can lead to fights, conflicts etc.

Also, there are many teenagers, youngsters are using social media to watch pornographic content which affects a lot to their mental health.

So to conclude this topic, social media can be useful to a certain extent also it can cause many problems which we discussed now.

Thank you.

Hi everyone Bikash Sahu from this side:.

Yes definitely, the impact of social media is growing day by day and it has become our necessary routine. In my point of view, there are many advantages and fewer disadvantages you can see, it depends on how much time you are spending on that. The advantages are, that you can connect with people easily and shortly and you can share anything. Also, you can show your ability and talents using different platforms publicly where if you notice on disadvantages then you can see that by using social media platforms people are becoming so lazy which has a bigger impact in itself if you consider physical purpose. So in the end, I suggest everyone use social media for limited purposes only, don't waste your valuable time by scrolling reels or on other unnecessary things.

Hello everyone.

@All.

I would like to put my opinion here the topic says social media connects people well. Yes!but we are only connected with the people who are not in touch with like friends out loved ones who have been living in foreign countries and we have not in contact with for so many years so social media like Instagram and Facebook help us to connect with them and keeps us connected no matter where the country is no matter how much the distance is but it is also disconnecting people who are closed to us like if we are sitting in a gathering family gathering or social gathering instead of talking and networking we are busy without phone scrolling on social media watching reels we are not communicating with people physically which is again distancing ourself with the people present around us.

Social Media is definitely connecting people all over the world and Social media has become very important in today's world. We get to connect with our friends, relatives, and close ones. Social media has also become a way of earning for many content creators and has even helped many in making their future. As we all know every pro has its cons so it is applied to Social media too where people can get too much addicted to this which can lead to many issues in terms of health and many other problems.

For example, people don't even realize what is going on around them when they are so much into phones.
For some Social media becomes their complete life because of which there might be times when their family relations might get affected and distanced because of a lack of interactions between them.

Social is a good platform for people with a purpose to deliver meaningful information, current happenings around the world without fabrication, for expanding small businesses, for content creators, international collaborations, learning new ideas, travelling to unpopular places, connecting people worldwide, connecting based on shared passions, and to share experiences.

Social media has its own advantages and disadvantages, especially for kids. Advantages like learning a concept explained in YouTube videos, gathering information for poster making. Disadvantages like it is easily accessible to young minds, and they are an easy target to be manipulated and distracted. This can result in behavioural changes, violence, impact social skills, body image, disturbed sleep due to overuse at night.

From my perspective, social media connects people primarily in a digital sense rather than on an emotional level. Platforms such as video-calling applications mainly help us share our thoughts and stay in touch with our families and loved ones, but they cannot truly replicate the emotions we experience when we meet someone in person. However, this does not mean that social media is ineffective.

In fact, it is highly beneficial in today’s fast-paced world, where most people are busy earning a living and often lack the time to meet friends and family regularly. In such circumstances, social media plays an important role in helping people stay connected. Nevertheless, it is worth thinking about how beautiful life could be with less digital interaction and more face-to-face relationships.

Social media, yes it is right that this word makes us amuse, but the harsh reality is that in present scenario social media is not working in its pure form, as all we know that it has become a platform for playing politics for some people, indiscipline in between regions is being created by the help of social media, fake news and stories are being made by fake people and this is costing lives, moreover it has not vanished from our minds that recently Facebook is caught in stealing the data of its users so social media has become so social that it is reading our minds also.

In my opinion, the social media is not behaving correctly in present for the society and for the national peace so strict actions are needed for the upbringing of the usefulness of social media.

Thanks.
