Is Social Media Killing?

Social media seems to bring out what communication is in essence: interaction and sharing. Social media is an umbrella term, and it refers to new arenas where users create content: writing and broadcasting carried out by “the people are formally known as the audience”. In 2021, 4.3 billion people—more than half of the world population—had a social media account, and the average user spent around two and a half hours per day on social media platforms. Social media has become a part of our life. It’s nonsense if nowadays we don’t have a social media. Social media is bringing many positive ways such as we can meet our family that lives so far from us, or we can make a friend from social media. Although the use of social media might depend from person to person but nonetheless the social media in stills the negative impact on overall Because as we can see, theres a lot of murders, kidnapping, and rape case nowadays and it started because they know each other from social media. Maybe it wont happen if their parents put a control on them. But, our parents cant watch us for 24/7. So it back and depends on yourself. Can you control yourself from social media? Or social media can control you all the time? I have watched many movies that bring a theme about the dangerous side from social media. And from that, I can conclude that all of the world have been beware of social media.

Is social media killing? In my opinion, Yes. Social media can killing our mental health, time, and life. Everyone might be known social media is for keep in touch to each others. People spent hours chatting with their friends and browsing profiles on social networking sites. It becomes a compulsive habit to visit own profile several times in a day for checking friends‟ updates, changing status, and commenting on others photos and videos. Finally it diverts employees‟ attention from the office work. A study conducted by Nucleus Research with 237 corporate employees shows 77 percent of them use Facebook during work hours. And it results in 1.5% drop in employee productivity for those companies allowing full access to Facebook (Gaudin, 2009). But nowadays, social media is getting scary. People used it for a crime. One of the cases is when people making a friend through on Instagram or dating apps and it ends in murder. Not only that, social media is killing time to because we can spend 24/7 by scrolling our social media and didn’t do anything instead of doing our homework or etc and it happened not only to teenagers but a children too. For those students, we also found many despression diagnoses like anxiety. People like to spread a hate comments through a social media and it causes people should against their anxiety. Also social media can destroy your relationship with your environment. I have experiences this, when you were celebrate eid fitr, Indonesia people often to come to their Grand mother’s house for celebrating it together. But instead of celebrating it together, all of the family members often busy with their phone. Actually, social media brings those who are far away closer and keeps those close away. Social media is can be more useful if we can use it in a right way. You can easily connect with people around the world, keep connected with your old friends without face to face. However, if you are not good at using social media, danger will come to you.

In Conclusion, social media has become an important part of the lives of many individuals living with mental disorders. Many of these individuals use social media to share their lived experiences with mental illness, to seek support from others, and to search for information about treatment recommendations, accessing mental health services and coping with symptoms (Bucci et al. 2019; Highton Williamson et al. 2015; Naslund et al. 2016b). Everything in this world can be used for a bad purpose as well as for good. It‟s us who can make the difference and utilize social networking sites wisely for the benefit of developing social bonds across. Social media is just a mask that everybody is willing to put on so that they are socially accepted and admired. The dark side of social media is that, within seconds, anything can be blown out of proportion and taken out of context. It is important to; us for beware of everything, we should educate ourselves to understand the difference between social media and real life.

Many experts share their writing experiences and they have different writing strategies for each person. Therefore, before writing, we must know what strategies are suitable for us so that we can write well.

 How Studying Abroad can Change Your Life   What I really learn after I heard about Mr. Alex Experiences is we should have a higher education. People still go to university because they want to have a better life with the university degree that they had in the future. Barack Obama said, “there are those people who say we cannot afford to invest in science and higher education that people support for research is somehow luxury.” Higher education is more essential for our prosperity, our security, our environment in our quality of life. Higher education helps us to understand because the world is becoming anytime more complex every day. So, higher education can really fit in society and we can contribute to making it better. Because, HRD will see our educational background, potentials, and experiences that we had. That’s why we should have a higher education. Most companies will be considering you with your skills in your CV. Is that your potential can fit with the companies or not?
