 INTRODUCTION
Today I am going to justify the statement: 'Are social
networking sites effective, or are they just another way to
look into others' lives? I think that in this modern world,
world
there is a case for the efficienc
efficiency of social media.
media
It played an interesting role in the last two
elections. Many traditional media centres were made to
rethink their news dissemination systems mainly
because social media was making news travel faster.
With the way everyone around the world has become
interconnected, it is natural to want to know what is
happening in others lives, even though social media.
Ideas are travelling faster and people living countries
apart are affecting each other’s world view. These aare
all good things. While social networking technology is
interactive and beneficial, it can also be misused as a
platform for stalking .If we someone want to get
information about a person first thing they do is talk on
social media.
 WHAT IS SOCI
SOCIAL
AL MEDIA?
MEDIA

Social media started out as a way for people to interact

with friends and family, but soon expanded to serve many
different purposes. In 2004, my space was the first network to
reach 1 million monthly actively users.
Social media pparticipation exploded in the years that
followed with the entry of Facebook and Twitter. Businesses
gravitated toward these platforms in order to reach an
audience instantly on a global scale.
"Social media has evolved significantly since the early
21st
1st century. Social media tools provide better way of
opportunities and interaction to learn different foreign
languages. With the advent of social media, the world
becomes a global village. Through social media platforms,
users can connect with others wit
within
hin seconds, share their
ideas, and comment on different areas of interest and issues.
People from different cultures can engage in discussions on
various issues and also search for information about other
countries.
 POSITIVE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA
ON YOUTH

Education:
"Social networking technologies allow individuals to share a
thought or two. It helps a person from one end of the world to
connect and exchange their ideas with a person on the other
end of the world. It serves not only as a source of
entertainment but also as an influential tool. One can adopt its
benefits to gain positive results in education.

Knowledge on Politics:
Social media provides platform to its users to get
conceptualized by internal efficacy, which refers to the
citizen’s own competence to understand and participate in
politics, and external efficacy, or beliefs about responsiveness
of governmental authorities and institutions to citizens’
demand.
Awareness:
Students can utilize social media to spread social awareness
and kindness.
Social Benefits:
Social networking sites can help youth to connect with
friends. Social networking sites allow youth to live a life
unchecked by small talk.
Job Opportunities:
In fact, many organizations have created their own pages on
Facebook and share information with other users. Moreover,
its impact on recruitments has been bigger and bigger.
Through building profile pages on social media, especially on
LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter along with the company
website, companies find sui
suitable
table candidates for the available
vacancies in their organization.
 NEGATIVE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA
ON YOUTH

Lack of privacy:
Social networking has drastically changed the way
people interact with their friends, associates and family
members. Although social networks, like Twitter, Facebook,
Google, YouTube, play a major role in our day to day lives, it
poses serious privacy risks. When using these social media
sites, it is quite important to know and understand the privacy
risks involved in it.
Waste of time:
There are some reasons why social networking is a waste of
time
 Time logging into the social sites.

exploitation have become rampant these days. These
sites are harmful especially for teenagers and Lack of
anonymity.

Cyber bullying mostly take place on social networking sites
and blow down pages. While 30% of the students in middle

affected students are girls as compared to 12% boys.15% of
these victims attempt suicide out of depression.
