Speech on Social Media and its Impact on Social Values

Without social media, social, ethical, environmental and political ills would have minimal visibility. According to a UK based study, social values are impacted greatly because of our everyday deeds. This varies from time to time and from thing to thing. Increased visibility of issues has shifted the balance of power from the hands of a few to the masses. I ask my audience today, how do you think the world around you affects your social values? Impact of Social Media on Society Technology has come to a long ways from its existence until today. Everyone here will have a different answer to my question but, what if I tell you, Gadgets you use every day are also a part of your contribution socially. The way social media is being used these days brings lots of side effects with it, the most important being on human ethics.

From media all the way to social media, the word has changed its form. Some argue that social sharing has encouraged people to use computers and mobile phones to express their concerns on social issues without actually having to engage actively with campaigns in real life. Social media, however, is the elephant in the room no one mostly bothers to talk about. Social media has indeed taken over the world faster than a war would. Do you think an infection or a plague spread is fast? You haven’t met social media then. Global media helped spread the message of human rights and democracy.

My point is that a lot of things today are being made up, focused especially to make your social life better. Mobile companies and a lot of organizations that make up gadgets make sure that they are well optimized just to answer your need to use social media in time. It is quite clear from the aforementioned fact, that social media is a powerful yet a dangerous thing to be on. Why I used the word dangerous? It is because it is dangerous. You see you are being monitored all the time, whatever you do, wherever you are it is being monitored. Your privacy is not your privacy anymore and to me, that is quite dangerous. School children, young girls, and women can fall prey to online attacks which can create tension and distress.

If you are not careful, unscrupulous people can target you for cyberbullying and harassment on social sites. Socializing every day, people have lost interest in their own lives and gained more in how others are spending theirs. 10 years ago people used to exercise every day in the morning, however now you wake up in the morning, grab your smartphone, turn your Wi-Fi on, receive a lot of notifications, and spend at least 30 minutes more lying on the bed staring into a phone swiping up and down.

The impact of social media on our life has been very mixed, with ranging from good and bad effect working side by side. Not just this, hearing my speech you yourself will go home and think what you lost in the past week, how much time that could have been spent on something useful was spend on something you probably forgot the next hour. Compared to television advertisements and other expensive forms of marketing, social media presence is a cheap and effective means to enhance brand image and popularity.

There is still time to come around and fix what you lost. Some people now a day prefer to use fake information about themselves on social media sites to hide their true identity. There is still time to think, and manage your life, see the people around you more often, Spend time with your families more than you already do. There is time, but what I am saying is useful only and only if you’re willing to make a change yourself. Social media can be used for better purposes also, use it for that and you’re on the list to making a change for the better. It is up to each user to use social sites wisely to enhance their professional and social life, and exercise caution to ensure they do not fall victim to online dangers.
