In the modern society, the amount of people who use social networking on the internet is swiftly increasing. Sooner or later, anyone who is on the earth will use social networking in the future society. However, it is true that humanity has been still struggling with controlling this invention. It might be said that most people in the world still do not know how to use it properly. Therefore, this essay will argue that social networking is harmful as it can lead cyberbullying, negative mind about happiness and can offer false information.
First of all, social networking leads to cyber bullying. The definition of cyber bullying varies such as sending harassing or threatening message (Chang et al. 2019, p. 270). In the modern society, the amount of cyber bullying related to social networking is rapidly increasing. According to Angus (2016), the 2014 UNSW synthesis report estimated that around 463000 youths whose age is between 8 and 17 years have experienced cyber bullying in Australia. Moreover, cyberbullying related to social networking is more likely to cause mental health problems than traditional bullying. According to Chang et al (2019, p. 270), in some studies, the victims of cyber bullying has more tendency to confess that they have thought of suicide because of being bullied than those who are victims of physical or verbal bullying. In addition, in 2015, 21.8 percent of the adolescents who live in Hong Kong claimed that they have an experience to think about suicide because of being the victims of cyber bullying (Chang et al. 2019, p. 271). This means that there is strong negative relevance between social networking and mental health problems of young people today.
Secondly, social networking has a negative influence on people’s sense of feeling happiness. Some researches claim that there is strong negative relevance between the amount of social media time and depression. To illustrate, according to Morris (2019, p. 1), the levels of depressions are highly liked with the total amount of social media time especially for adolescents. In addition to this fact, Widdowson (2016) points out that the number of their visits to social networking sites also has a negative relevance with the depression degree. Moreover, it is also suggested that people are more likely to lose self-esteem through using social networking. As Saiphoo, Halevi and Vahedi (2019, p. 5) state that people who use social networking frequently are more likely to be depressed than people who use it not very often. This might be because that overall, people who often use social networking might tend not to be satisfied in real life and for them, people who appear on their social networking can look like they are having much more greater lives than those of them. As a result, people who use social networking are more likely to get mental health problems.
Finally, social networking can give inaccurate information. Generally, in the social networking, anyone who is on the internet can transmit information. This means that somebody who is deceitful can also offer information which is made to deceive many unspecified people. For example, as Rascoe (2019) points out, Donald Trump who is the president of the United States of America often creates the fake news to insulate a particular individual on Twitter. In addition to this fact, it is often laborious for a person who is not an expert in that area to distinguish it is false information or not. For instance, according to Talwar et al (2019, p. 73). In a study base research, in many cases, it was impossible for many respondents which are composed of 12 US states and 8000 school and college students to distinguish which one is a fake information and which one is not. Moreover, inaccurate information on the social networking are more likely to control public sentiment. As Moravec (2019, p. 1343) states, people are more likely to tend to believe what they would like to believe even if it does not ever make sense. For instance, according to Jang et al (2018, p. 105), in the US president election which was took place in 2016, The people who support Republican party were inclined to swallow pro-trump fake news as genuine and on the other hand, the people who support Democrats party tended to be more likely to believe pro-Clinton news was a real one. Hence, people often spread fake news with no offence because they believe it is authentic and it will be spread very quickly by social media. Consequently, the amount of people who believe specific fake news enlarge and it sometimes reaches at the level of controlling public statements. This means it is true that social networking has enough power to control people’s mind and it could be perilous.
In conclusion, it is clear that social networking could be injurious. It can give rise to cyberbullying which is a more serious matter for the adolescents today than traditional bullying and has a negative impact on people’s mind which senses happiness. Additionally, social networking can give false information which is harmful. If social networking is not used properly, it is possible that social networking will give birth to more tragedy in the society.
