In the social media, there may be negative points 'facts' that will discourage Us from socializing with the people around us. Thus, many our us will start to refrain from the social circle.

Social Media has made face to face interactions rarer. Social can also be defined as interactive, though interaction through social media is interaction, it is still different as compared to face to face interaction.

Face to face. How about video chatting? Can't we do face to face interaction with our friends and other people. It does not nessecarily have to meet up with each other.

When we are too involved in the Social Media, we would not communicate with the people around us and solely emerge into the social media, thus we it makes us less sociable

People use social media for playing games not socializing. Or maybe they are flirting.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: For

People spend more time chatting online than actually meeting that person, regardless of distance. Putting yourself in an immobile state is not healthy for the eyes and body. Since it is so easy to talk to someone, the sense of urgency to meet diminishes and possibly the reduction emotional connection to that person. activities like sports becomes less practised.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: For

Social Media puts more emphasis on Quantity rather than Quality. I recall viewing a picture on facebook(Bad source to quote haha), and it said "Good thing I have facebook... otherwise I'd have to call all of my friends to let them know what I just ate for breakfast.". Truth is, People prefer using Social networks to contact their friends. It's a lot easier than calling them on the phone, or visiting their houses.It is dominating human contact(other than the ones we live with, or work with).

Social Media has caused people not to socialise, Most people spending hours on the computer talking nonsense to people they call friends or have never met.It is also responsoble for people being overweight, paranoid, unfit, less productive,Kids now play indoors all day instead of getting some fresh air and making mud pies and playing hopscotch and the list goes on , what about marbles and pick a sticksIn business people think that business comes over the web - whereas mostly it comes through face to face interaction.besides a virtual hug just doesnt cut it Im afraid,

So being able to talk to family from almost everywhere in the world is a bad thing?
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: For

As we become more experienced socialising ONLINE, we dont know how to socialise in real life. In the net, we are used to short forms, and we do not have stress as we just need to have eye-to-eye contact with the computer. When we have oral (I am just a 11 year old kid), we need to maintain eye-to-eye contact with the teacher, too! That creeps people out. I found out that frequent facebook and twitter users have scored lower marks than people who do not have accounts in social sites. I personally have a facebook account, but I think I have not used it in 6 months. It's worthless, in fact. Does not help in anything. My sister also has deteriorated in her exams as her concentration has been put into social media, her friends. But she does not talk with her friends and meet up with them as much as she does in social media. I have been to her parties, they dont really talk and socialise, but just games. The atmosphere was very tense and it was like having a party with strangers.

Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: For

when we socalise on the computer, we end up practically glueing our eyes to the screen. there is NO way this helps us in socialising. apperently, whenever i socialise on the computer, i just share a weird/unusual thing or reply/comment on another. besides, there is lag time in chat and that also is not good.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: For

I believe that social media makes us less social. Of course, social websites like facebook help us to communicate with everyone that we want. However, nowadays many people are not able to communicate verbally. Everybody can communicate through such social websites, but not all can do it in real life. People are loosing ability to communicate personally. It is very sad that we prefer non verbal to verbal communication.

Social media allows us to share pictures and statuses so that people can know what is happening around us.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: Against

With the help of social media, it has helped us keep in touch with other people from afar. Without social network, we would NEVER have the chance to communicate with somebody elsewhere. With facebook, plans could be made much easier for gatherings and parties. Thus, social media has made us much more social than less social.

But this is the problem of social media is what you said. By hacking to accounts, you might think you are talking to a person but actually you are talking to another. With facebook, hackers can post unnecessary and hurtful post which would be the opposite of socialising

In Saudi Arabia, the country is well-known for it's social and religious customs that forbid men and women to free interaction. However, social media has been able to stop this. In such a society, Facebook has become a very popular way for people there to connect without restrictions. This has made people in Saudi Arabia a lot more socially active.

However, this is going against their social and religious customs. They would make themselves less social amongst those who believe strongly in those customs.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: Against

But if those customs are unhelpful and oppressive, then perhaps it is best that they change.If internet allows all of mankind to speak and talk without war and fighting, then how is that wrong?Finally we can have peace talking to people and making friends with anyone.Knowledge is power, but you can't learn with your eyes and ears shut.Listen to the world.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: For

The reason that men and women are forbidden to have free interaction is because that is what their religion calls for. They were raised to follow their culture thus they should follow diligently instead of trying to bypass their culture. In addition, the reason they want to be involved in social media is because they have not experienced it and do not see how their face to face interactions are so much better.

When we communicate with people overseas, it makes us easier to see them face to face. We should do that rather than going to their country and talk to them face to face. Doing so, we can do that everyday. Can't we? It makes it more convenient for us and by doing so, we can get to understand them better as we will be able to talk more with our friends.

Social media allows us to communicate online. This helps when we do not have enough time to meet up. It would only cause negative effect when one abuses it.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: Against

No, I do not agree. We are doing most of our communication through social media and we also get to know each other better because many people tend to post things that people do not really care for on their social media. However, this lets us know more about them as they usually post things about themselves or their lives. Moreover, many events are now organised via social media as some forms of social media have features to plan events.

-YoshikiI do not agree with this as social media has actually been helping us communicate with one another by introducing more and new apps that help us tell each other about what we are doing. Twitter has helped us by making it very easy to type short and sweet sentences about our daily activities such that all our friends will know. Also, Instagram has made us be filled with swag so that people will always know what we are eating! Facebook also lets us like other photos so that we can cure cancer by just liking a photo! Also, it helps us show other people what we are doing, so that people can comment and tell us about their views.

At this moment, Twitter has 190 million users and generates 65 million tweets a day. Facebook also has 500 million users. This is no small sum. This makes it very easy for people around the world to communicate and socialize with people all over this platform. Whether if it is posting photos or sharing status. This therefore makes people more social.

Side: Against

Media has made us more social. Why? We are able to communicate even further rather than just give a call. Furthermore, we are now able to communicate through video call on the internet. Now,we can see face to face. Do we really need to meet up together just to talk to each other when we can just talk through the internet? Do we have to waste the money to call to an overseas friend when we can contact them through facebook? Therefore, social media made us more more social as we able to communicate even easier.

People are spending way too much time on just keeping up with tweeting which prevents people from meeting in real life, people can meet from further distances online but people that are close still use social media even when it is so easy to meet up in real life interaction.
Debate: S2-09 Social Media has Made Us Less Social. Do you agree? (Classroom Lesson)
Side: Against

Agree. With the presence of Social Media such as Facebook and Twitter, people are being less and less social. My definition of 'Social' is people talking to one another, physically interacting. These days, everywhere, at a table full of people, none of them would be talking to each other and everyone would just be typing away on their phones and iPads, texting and tweeting. People might argue that these platforms help us communicate with those far away from us, but what about those right next to us? Sometimes, even in school, people would Facebook message each other even though they are less than 10 meters away. Is it not easier just to walk over and say 'Hi'? People are also finding it harder and harder in life to be less 'awkward' around people because they are so used to typing and expressing their feelings through emoticons, rather than actually smiling.

But some agree that familiarity that Facebook can breed sometimes extends to the unfamiliar, and takes away from the personal nature of the site, part of its early appeal."We all know techno interaction is 'less human' the moment ... a total stranger asks after 5 minutes of one-to-one conversation, 'Hey, check me out on Facebook, it will be cool to have you as a friend.' NOT!" posted one Telegraph reader in response to the story."Facebook demeans the word friend, and as for Twitter ... why do I NEED 'strangers/ followers' to respond to my EVERY knee jerk sentiment?"But, noted HedleyC, in a posting: "We were mad before Twitter came along."

Social Media is helping us become more social as you can't socialise with someone a kilometer away when you're at home, but you can communicate and share ideas with others even in other countries though social media. When we meet our friends and acquaintances in real life, we socialise, not use social media, and therefore, social media does not make us less social, but instead help us to communicate and share ideas despite the location and time.

I think Social Media makes us more social in the aspect that we are able to meet more people not only locally but abroad. The fact that there are numerous ways to to interact with each other over the net broadens or ability in my opinion to progress socially in public. For example you might say or explain something over the Internet that you wouldn't normally say face to face, but when you meet up it makes it that much easier to talk about. Now notice I said "meet up" social media is increasingly becoming the number one way to hook up or find your soul mate, because people simply do not have the patience or enough time to court somebody, so its also become very convenient which we love. So I believe it makes us more social, and I had the same question in college and I was against it, but then I did a Mitt Romney when I started really using different social sites and realizing the impact they have on our social interactions.

Debate: Same sex marriage sould be legalised

Of course it should be legalized, everyone has feelings and everyon should have equal rights. I believe our generation will be the first ever to legalize it. So for all you rednecks, suck it up.
Debate: Same sex marriage sould be legalised
Side: people do not understand

So for all you rednecks, suck it up.You know, your argument could be a lot stronger without this horrid social prejudice. everyone has feelings and everyon should have equal rights.Felons have feelings, does that mean they should have equal gun rights?
Debate: Same sex marriage sould be legalised
Side: it should b elegalized

There's a big difference between felons and gays. Gays have done nothing wrong, felons obviously have done something wrong... hence the reason they were convicted. You comparing them to felons is the only "horrid" thing.
Debate: Same sex marriage sould be legalised
Side: people do not understand

Well, it doesn't matter that they have done something wrong. They still have feelings, and according to your previous argument, this means that they should have equal rights.

Side: people do not understand

Gays have done nothing wrong? what?Just acting and being a gay is already a sin. "AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID TO THEM, 'HAVE YOU NOT READ THAT HE WHO MADE THEM AT THE BEGINNING 'MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,'"—MATTHEW 19:4
Debate: Same sex marriage sould be legalised
Side: people do not understand

well you have to think about how the straight people feel about gays they have feelings too besides its adam and eve not adam and steve
Debate: Same sex marriage sould be legalised
Side: it should b elegalized

You are generalizing what straight people believe about gays. It's as if you assume that the person you are arguing with is gay. What if they're straight? I'm straight, even married, and I posted a point for gay marriage in this debate. My point is that most straight people believe in sexual freedom just as much as gays, the people who are being treated as second-class citizens by you religious people in the first place. Also, the creation story of Christianity is not a good argument for this. It's like trying to argue that dragons existed because there are tales of medieval heroes slaying them. We know that dragons do not and have never existed; they would be in the fossil record if they had. We also know that the Judeo-Christian creation story has no evidence to support it ever happened; the carbon-dated age of the Earth is far greater then 6 thousand years.
