Social media has shaped the world in a way that seems to be positive and negative because of the informations that are put out there.
While social media was initially meant for entertainment and connecting with friends and people all over the world , it's has gone beyond that.
One great thing about social media is that it has exposed a lot of atrocities happening around the world, things that we might never have known about like real time crimes, disaster and injustice happening around the world.
Social media is also a place to learn about new things, culture and also it helps to address issues which helps in real world changes.

The only negative thing about social media is the constant cyberbulling, the false information and spreading of fake news . One's moods can easily get ruined just by scrolling through socal media feed. Toxic comments and people,'s opinion about things makes me wonder if this world is ever going be a better place

How do we balance it, does social media news affect you in anyway? Let's discuss
I actually can't deny the fact one of the best things that happened in this age is social media. Don't get me wrong, social media has it disadvantages too, but if we are to be truthful, over the years, it has done more good than harm depending on what we choose to pay attention to.
If we can be truthful to ourselves, social media was built for a good purpose - to enhance global communication. Social media is not corrupt or bad in itself, it is the people using it that determines what it is. It is only a tool though it was built for a good reason.

However, I won't fail to point out that people are now addicted to social media. Families and relationships has parted because of it. It is one of the potent tool of distraction in the lives of the youths. Absolute Focus and consistency can no longer be achieved because of social media.Imdeed, this here is a disease that must be curtailed before it escalates.
