Running head: SOCIAL MEDIA 1 Social Media Keandrea Prater English Comp March 12, 2019 SOCIAL MEDIA 2 How to Minimize the Negative Influence of Social Media on People's Lives? Introduction The rate of negative influence from social media platforms is at an increasing pace, especially among young people. Social media refers to applications and websites that allow people to share information and create networking primarily controlled by the internet. Technological advancements have both positive and negative impacts on the current social life mostly through the internet. Some of the applications primarily used in the current generation are Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other many programs. Research shows that social media has affected morals in the society causing a gap that requires comprehensive solutions to fix. The internet as the main component of social media allows access to all forms of information that degrade the reasoning and morals among young people. The Youngsters Organization has come up with several ways that can significantly minimize the negative impact of social media on people. Thesis: Social media is a networking tool in the current generation, but the negative impacts have surpassed the positive effects thus calling for a solution. The paper focuses on the causes, influence, and ways of reducing the rate of negative have implications among people. Negative Effects The first negative impact of social media is the mismanagement of time because most people have social media accounts. Most people check their minds multiple times in a day even when at work and in school. The time that an individual spends on social media is more than the time one is expected to concentrate on a different activity. The level of interaction among people in a working or schooling environment is limited because most people spend time on their phones. Secondly, social media affects mental health because of the distractions associated with SOCIAL MEDIA 3 the information and habits in the forums (Fardouly et al, 2015). According to mental health professionals, the constant distraction of social media leads to a shortened span to attention on a specific task. Many people using Facebook and Twitter have increased chances of suffering high levels of stress according to research. Spreading of untrue information is the third adverse effect due to the posting of fake news. Social media allows quick access to any information through different platforms that affect the reputation of a brand in the market. Some of the conventional sources of rumors that change the state of business include online reviews, unfortunate incidents, unclear health information and the political lines in the sand (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017). The rampancy of online bullying and tensions in places of work associated with young people is a negative impact. Some of the incidences are unpleasant texts, comments, messages and photos shared through the social sites that cause workers extreme stress that leads to poor performance. The social media platforms create tension through the sharing of memes and opinions among members of a specific group. The overall impact of the adverse effects is the erosion of morals among the young people in the current generation. Causes The negative impacts of social media result from several factors that society tends to ignore in most cases. The first reason is an addiction which refers to uncontrollable use of a particular application for personal fulfillment. Some individuals cannot control their visits on the accounts because of habits created from practice. Some young people face the addiction of watching morally inappropriate videos causing moral degradation. Addiction saps most of an individual's time which decreases the level of productivity (Carrier et al, 2015). Secondly, lack of regulations in the social world especially at work where employees do not have rules governing SOCIAL MEDIA 4 them assess to the internet. The Youngster organization focuses on using the causes as the reversal tools to the appropriate solution. Solution The negative impacts of social media can be solved through a variety of methods that focus on making social media an asset to the community. Firstly, employers and parents can concentrate on instilling discipline on the amount of time to spend on social media. In the places of work, social media can be monitored to ensure that workers do not waste working hours on their accounts (Wisniewski et al, 2015). Time management is an essential factor in improving the level of productivity. Parents must also provide that their children, especially among the youths, spend more time doing useful tasks and less on social media. Installation of time-based discipline plays a significant role in improving the economic level of an organization. The second solution is based on the personal decision that each person in the society must work towards implementing. Most of the applications are assessed using their gadgets such as a mobile phone, tablet, or a laptop. One may move the forms of the home screen to increase the number of steps required to open the app. The increased number of measures reduces the number of times one will open the application thus reducing the associated effects. People may schedule specific times when to check social media to ensure that the planned activities are performed without time constraints (Gholami et al, 2016). The use of silent or the "do not disturb" button because some applications have notifications that disrupt an individual to check the social media accounts. Taking breaks from social media by limiting the number of apps on use aids to reduces cases of extreme stress. People may also stick to specific groups which they use the most in communication. The solutions focus on reducing the effects of social media by reducing the time spent on the sites. SOCIAL MEDIA 5 Conclusion Social media as a networking platform has both positive and negative impacts on society. The adverse effects of social media are categorized under economic, health and social. The health-related impacts are caused by extreme stress that may result from online cyberbullying. Other impacts are time waste, erosion of morals and lack of self-esteem because of the original messages posted on social media. The leading causes of the excessive use of social media are the addiction and lack of discipline strategies in families and places of work. The solutions that best solve the problem are proper time management and policy setting in families and places of employment. The society must consider embracing a personal mile by instilling discipline, especially when using gadgets such as phones and laptops to access social media. In conclusion, to reduce the negative impacts of social media personal and public commitment is essential for all members of society. SOCIAL MEDIA 6 References Allcott, H., & Gentzkow, M. (2017).
