Many people believe that social networking

sites (such as Facebook) have had a huge

negative impact on both individuals and

society

To what extent do you agree?

Social networking sites, for instance Facebook, are

thought by some to have had a detrimental effect on

individual people as well as society and local

communities. However, while I believe that such sites

are mainly beneficial to the individual, I agree that they

have had a damaging effect on local communities.

With regards to individuals, the impact that online

social media has had on each individual person has

clear advantages. Firstly, people from different

countries are brought together through such sites as

Facebook whereas before the development of

technology and social networking sites, people rarely

had the chance to meet or communicate with anyone

outside of their immediate circle or community

Secondly Facebook also has social groups which offer

Individuals a chance to meet and participate in

discussion with people who share common interests.

On the other hand, the effect that Facebook and other

social networking sites have had on societies and local

communities can only be seen as negative. Rather than

individual people taking part in their local community

they are instead choosing to take more interest in

people online, Consequently, the people within local

communities are no longer forming close or supportive

relationships. Furthermore, society as a whole is

becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented as

people spend more time online with people they have

never met face to face and who they are unlikely to ever

meet in the future

To conclude, although social networking sites have

brought individuals closer together, they have not had

the same effect on society or local communities. Local

communities should do more to try and involve local

people in local activities in order to promote the future

of community life.
