Social Media affect on society

Social Media has a great impact on our culture, our businesses and just about everything pertaining to everyday life. Social media, I believe has impacted our society positively more times than it has negatively. Social media has revolutionized the way people communicate through the internet.Through media we are given a news source, current events of areas and how others live. Social media sites have also served to bring people together for a cause, inspiring many mass movements. Social media also plays a critical role in politics today all around the world.  One of the most negative ways social media affects our society is by cyberbullying and online harassment, according to the clinical report done by The American Academy of Pediatrics. Researchers have also proposed a new phenomenon called “Facebook Depression”, usually when teens use social media sites in excess and then begin to show classic signs of depression.
