Is Social Media Ruining Students???

With the countless discussed benefits and arguments in favor of social media, many 'experts' still argue that social media is a problem that needs to be addressed!

Some argue that social media creates a false sense of connections, which prevents teens and some adults from understanding true, meaningful relationships.

Other argue that social media will only lead to cyber-bulling.  Leading to a higher rate of depression, suicide, and deep psychological damage.

An obvious issue that has been addressed is decreased productivity.  Students and adults alike find themselves looking at Susie's dog photos instead of completing the work that needs to be done.  A company named Morse completed research that suggested that British companies lost 2.2 billion euros/year due to social media!!

One of the final of the major arguments is the lack of privacy created from social media.  Many students have not gotten into specific colleges, potential employees have been denied, and current employees have been fired due to the content that has been posted on social media.  This causes a big detriment to our students!

The real question becomes, do the benefits of social media outweigh the negatives???

No matter your opinion, it seems social media is here to stay!!
