Social Networking -Keeping in Touch
Today we all use internet to say what we feel. We don;t fear of the response of others or how they are going to think about us. We can say whatever we want whenever we want to. When a conflict comes up online or someone starts arguing about something you can fix it by saying someone else was using your computer or you were "HACKED". This use of internt for expression of emotions is useful in someways but really hurtful in others. By saying useful, i mean that sometimes teens and even adults have something inside them that's really putting them down or getting them angry. When the case comes they videotape all the things they have to shout out to the world and then post it online to see if anyone thinks the same. This helps for people to socialize and solve their problems together with helo of people that has been through those things or is going through those things.It's harmful because sometimes those"things" can be directed to someone in special and they can say some thing that will hurt their feeling sand make them feel depressed. Also by posting thing online people can say all the bad things of a person or things that a person did or didn't;t do. If it;s something they didn;t do and tehy are giving them a lot of trouble to certain people because they didn;t do it then it will cause that person to do it and that could b e something that would turn out in a disaster.People get very influenced by what other think of them and if something about you that is BAD is posted in a public network such as FACEBOOK or Youtube then your social life and social status could be affected.This that happen in Internet are not real most of the time but keep believing them. People might also post things about something because they are scared to tell them in their face. Many people are afraid to see the other person's reaction so they just wait until they get online. Being online and trying to solve a problem is bad and good. It's bad because the people on the other computer doesn't know if you are alone, if you are being serious, if you are talking to 5 more people even is you are who you say you are online.IT's good because some people just can;t take to stand infront of someone and watch them, because the pressure if to high and they say things that weren't ment to be said. In online fights you can say.. BRB(be right back) and think about what's going on and what can you answer and the answers don;t have to be inmediate and you wont hav a person looking at you.Fellings should be expressed whenever you want but you have to think of the consequences of saying certain things and take them or just say what you feel somewhere else.
Debora, i totally agree in what you express in this paragraph. You totally read my mind, i think sometimes internet ain't good for somethings and is good for others. But actually You cant know who is behind the screen, which can be dangerous. Debora you are absolutely, and completely right. I could no agree more in everything you wrote, it even feels like my own words. And its true to know that you can express your feelings whenever and wherever you want, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THE CONSEQUENCES.!
ResponderEliminarThis is a very detailed and thoughtful "essay". Yes, there are those dangers that you exposed but there are many others and so you are thinking of things that you know and have heard a million times but what about the otehr 500 problems or so? I think that what you wrote is enough but you still have to be aware of other problems.
