Last week, I talked about social media with my grandmother. She told me that social media is a way of breaking social links because of the cyberharcelement online and the fact that people have to prove that they are enjoying their life by posting photos and videos. My point of view is different because social media allows people to enforce or create new social relations and also to keep memories. For instance, I had the opportunity to study in Paris for six months last year and I met a lot of people who come from all part of the world. It's been 3 months since I came back to my hometown and I'm still in touch with them. I'm pretty sure that social media help me a lot to keep their friendships as strong as they were when I was in Paris. Furthermore, nowadays, you really need to get social media so that you could be accepted in the society.
We can raise a lot of benefits and drawbacks in social media but I believe that if we use it the right way it could be a very great tool to grow with yourself and with themselves.
