Social media has a wide effect on our society; including both adults and children. It has a positive and a negative side to it. This article focuses more on our youth and children's effect towards the media they are exposed to. Its very interesting to see the negative and positive social media can be towards them, and how it can affect them later on in the future.
Not everything out in the cyber world is often bad. Its just how we choose to view it, being responsible and making smart choices on what to view. Studies have proven that educational t.v. shows have had an impact on children and youth. Shows like Sesame Street have shown reluctantly positive improvements towards the learning of the children. Also online learning programs, help youth and children learn about new things that are going on around them.
Now, we get on to the negative side of social media. Youth and children do experience different characters after watching certain shows. Violence, swearing, drugs, etc are frequently appearing on t.v. every so often. This can incline an individual into thinking, its healthy for them to start these procedures later on. Studies have shown that after a certain time of watching television with all this negative stuff on it, youth and children start experiencing a different character after a while. They either become more violent or start swearing.
There is no definite way of either saying if social media is good or bad. They outweigh each other in certain criteria, they have a positive side and a negative one. We just have to learn to use this responsibly and smart.
