Social Media And Privacy

Social media is such a powerful part of our everyday lives in todays society. It is crazy to think about how many people we know, including ourselves, are wrapped up in all these different social media programs. There are two sides to this topic. There is the good side which shows how helpful social media can be. It is a way of networking with many people who otherwise you might not meet. There are many programs such as LinkedIn which help you connect with people who can be very beneficial to your future success. The other side to the social media epidemic is the negative side to it. The side where there is cyber bullying in all different forms. People can be terrorized on these social media sites such as twitter for being different than the "majority". This is a terrible thing because it attacks people who are doing nothing wrong but some random people think they deserve to be treated poorly. In some extreme cases we see people committing suicide or hurting themselves in some other way because they think these random people bullying them are making sense. It is a terrible thing and how social media can be a bad thing.
