Running Head: NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION Negative Impacts of Social Media Utilization Prajesh Karki Department of Business, Evergreen Valley College BUS 71-202: Legal Environment of Business Professor Emon Graves July 5, 2020 1 NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION Negative Impacts of Social Media Utilization Social platform describes an innovative computer-based technology that provides a platform on which ideas, thoughts on several issues, and communication are shared through virtual networks and communities. Engagement with social media entails the use of computers, smartphones, and tablets. Following its development, social media has been changing and evolving with time, making it user friendly and available for access and utilization by various individuals (Siddiqui & Singh, 2016). Summary of the Article on Negative Impacts of Social Media Usehttps://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-02-10/more-evidence-links-socialmedia-use-to-poorer-mental-health-in-teens A report was produced recently by HealthDay news suggesting that teens and adult utilization of social platform tools such as facebook, tweeter, instagram, and whatsApp were more likely to have detrimental impacts on the individuals' mental health growth and development (Allcott, Braghieri, Eichmeyer & Gentzkow, 2020). Doctor Elia Abi-Jaoude, a psychiatrist at Toronto western hospital, spoke emphasizing that parents, teachers, and families should take the responsibility and work together to minimize the harmful effects which he attributes to access and utilization of social platforms (Ebadifar & Keith, 2017). The latter includes the deterioration of relationships, loss of oneself, poor academic performance, and loss of emotional well-being. The report compiled several cases of teens being admitted to hospitals over suicidal thoughts and claims. The study further hinted that individuals who continuously engage in social networks were vulnerable to contrary acts, including envy and insecurity concerns about their general status. Abi-Jaoude and his colleagues 2 NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION further deduced that kids and teens should be restricted from accessing smartphones emphasizing that such gadgets should primarily be used for educative purposes. Issue Was Doctor Abi-Jaode's claim on the restriction of smartphones and other gadgets that can be used to access social media platforms by children and teenagers, right? Rules Social networks platforms have been proven to have detrimental impacts on individuals, mostly affecting children and teenagers. The use of social platforms is emphasized as long as its use has positive outcomes beneficial to users. The utilization of social networks may be considered in terms of the positive impacts it has on individuals and the adverse outcomes associated with its use to individuals. If the claims regarding the use of social platforms as having adverse outcomes to individuals lack enough support, then the claim can be termed as invalid. However, if individuals claim to be fully benefiting from social networking, then the claims regarding its negativity can be termed negligible. Analysis Generally, the claims of social platforms having adverse outcomes on individuals can be ignored as compared to the benefits associated with social networks. However, following the research carried out by Doctor Abi-Jaoude and his colleagues, it is beyond doubt that the utilization of these social platforms has more adverse impacts than the positive outcomes brought about by the use of these platforms. Considering the situation, the various negative impacts resulting from the utilization of these platforms as deduced by the medical team were listed and explained further in details to support the claims the negativities include; Depression, Anxiety, and Stress 3 NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION Social media has brought about numerous positive impacts that are worth appreciating. Additionally, addiction and excess use of the communication platform has brought lots of the adverse effects (Allcott, Braghieri, Eichmeyer & Gentzkow, 2020). Social platform overuse contributes to depression, anxiety, and mental stress. Increased use of social media handles has been proven to have detrimental effects on one's health concerns and status as it influences weak mental health growth and development. Social platforms entirely engage the entire globe, with every individual showcasing the different lifestyles and the luxurious lives they are living. Comparing other individuals' achievements with one's lifestyle, which may not meet optimum standards, is likely to lower self-esteem and, consequently, contribute to depression. Effects on Sleeping Patterns Social network overuse and addiction pose detrimental impacts on our bodies and health in general as it interferes with the standard sleeping patterns. Artificial lighting produced by electronic gadgets such as mobile phones and laptops is quite harmful to humans' public health. It results in the human body's inability to produce melatonin hormone, which is essential for causing sleep (Siddiqui & Singh, 2016). Poor Time Management Social platforms use also has detrimental consequences on time management. Increased use of the social network has been proved to consume more time, which could be channeled towards other productive activities and thus promote individual development (Park & Sung, 2017). Employees in the workplace, organizations, and institutions have also developed the addictive habit of regularly checking their social network accounts during the crucial working hours. The user’s concentration on their devices may shift their focus to attaining the 4 NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION organizational set goals. Repeated misuse of gadgets with time may result in low productivity and losses as well. Effects on Critical Thinking and Decision Making Social platforms also affect individuals’ way of thinking independently and decision making. Spending more time on social platforms consumes more time, making the involved persons more concentrated and informed on other issues other than engaging in practices aimed at self-development and improvement (Siddiqui & Singh, 2016). The internet, which provides answers to almost all solutions, hinders the involvement of the mind in thinking and offering solutions to the issues at hand. The latter has adverse impacts on individuals, especially learners, and may, in a way, interfere with the thinking process. Loss of Human Connection Social platform use has also increased seclusions and hindered real-life conversations, thus breaking the human connection. Nowadays, individuals communicate their ideas over mobile phones to express their negative and positive emotions making it hard to engage in conversations with real persons. The latter has resulted in the loss of meaning bonds and relationships (Siddiqui & Singh, 2016). Cyber Bullying Cases The other detrimental impact of social platform entails cyberbullying. Cases of cyberbullying are being reported daily. The latter involves the use of social media to abuse other individuals. The practice as well forms the basis on which other individuals are humiliated, harassed, and underestimated. The various methods which fuel the act include sharing nasty 5 NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION rumors, discouraging, abusive comments, and sharing private messages (Siddiqui & Singh, 2016). Effects on Drugs and Substance abuse Social network use, as well as promotes drugs, alcohol, and substance abuse. Drugs are nowadays portrayed in almost all social platforms in positive and enticing ways. Pictures and videos posted on social platforms showing people abusing drugs makes drug and substance abuse appear healthy developing curiosity among individuals and consequently, causing them to engage in drug use (Kim, Marsch, Hancock & Das, 2017) Ways which can control the detrimental Outcomes of Social Network use The adverse outcomes brought about by the use of social media can, however, be managed and effectively minimized. The several measures which can significantly improve the situation entail; individuals should develop consciousness and be mindful of their social media habits and patterns. The latter involves monitoring the information one shares on social network accounts (Wakefield & Wakefield, 2018). Monitoring the Impacts Resulting from the use of Social Platform Tools Individuals should as well identify the negative consequences associated with the utilization of social platform interactions such as lowering their self-esteem, causing depression as well as anxiety and thus react accordingly. Allocating Time for Social Platform Use People should also consider the amount of time spent on social networks and plan effectively on the appropriate times to access such platforms. The rest of the time can be allocated for self-development and improvement (Park & Sung, 2017). Use of Social Network for Beneficial Purposes 6 NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION Individuals should use social platforms effectively to connect and interact with people who inspire them and share common goals and interests (Wakefield & Wakefield, 2018). The latter is likely to have positive impacts on the brain development, strengthen relationships, and facilitate social integration. Conclusion The claims regarding the use of social platforms to have detrimental effects as opposed to the benefits may be hard to establish, considering that individuals claim to be fully benefitting from the social networks. However, the claims could be considered valid, considering the factors listed as having been studied, researched, and applied to individuals yielding forth the various outcomes explained above as per Doctor Abi-Jaoude and his team. Individuals should, therefore, devise the necessary means which would prove the use of social networks beneficial. 7 NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA UTILIZATION References Allcott, H., Braghieri, L., Eichmeyer, S., & Gentzkow, M.
