Has Social Media Made Society More Informed or More Divided?

The advantage of social media will always surpass those disadvantages it has because apart from information bases we have more other good things that comes out from it, because from few years ago it has made few persons I no to become financially stable due to the opportunity it gives them to use there skills and turn into source of income and it has also help people to build new career and still make use of it on the same social media so actually in most of the country social media alone has helped 10% of there population to earn money but unfortunately the disadvantage is how most people are using it for there evil purpose.

Everything is not about money. Because social media has created a lot of money-making opportunities for people doesn't mean we should forget about the dangers and harm it has caused in the lives of many.

Social media is the reason for many broken marriages in the world. Peer pressure increased due to social media. Life was better when people supported values.

These days, people support memes and motivational quotes to justify their ego. Although social media has been important to us, we are affected by the effect of it in our normal lives.

It's the people that are using social media wrongly that are making it look as if social media is bad but it is not because it still has her own good side. I will take the good side of social media and forget about the bad side. Anyone that allows people to use social media to put enemity between them and their loved ones don't understand love. If people cannot get you face to face, they will use social media and if you fall for it, they have achieved their goal.

In my opinion I think social media has more positives than negative effects. Social media has turned the world into a global village, which makes communications easier for people, no matter the distance between them. It has also provide a lot of job opportunities for people, like the content creators etc. It has also become a mean access to information to the people,  so I think these are some of the few positives of social media.
Talking about social media being a means of spreading fake news and all whatnot,  I believe that all news should be verified before being spread, aside from that, it still does not take a way the positives of social media,  so like I mentioned earlier,  I believe social media has done more good than harm.

Here I will not give the entire blame to social media. It has both benefits and harms, but who will benefit and who will be harmed will depend on how responsibly the person uses social media. Now many things have become easier due to social media. Through it, people are getting entertainment, spending their free time, having conversations with friends despite the distance, and some people consider social media as a platform for online business. But in between, some isolated incidents also happen. Now, if a person sees any news and understands it wrongly without justifying it, then in this case, that person has believed the wrong news due to irresponsibility and carelessness. And if he reacts immediately because of that, it will not be right for him. Therefore, social media should be used consciously so that he does not suffer any kind of harm. And one should not believe it immediately after seeing any info news or video. One should find out more authentic sources and then believe it. Over all, social media has been beneficial so far. The harm that is happening is due to personal wrong decisions and unconscious use. I don't think it's logical to directly blame social media here. It's the problem of the person using it.
