Despite whether or not you like social media, one thing that we can all agree on is that it is a powerful and active part of our society.
Social Media can be a great thing. It connects people from all over the world and gives you the opportunity to stay in touch with friends and family. It helps the voices of many to be heard and gives inspiration through the sharing of ideas and experiences. For those with good ideas, inspiring experiences, and kind voices, social media can be used to help change the world in a positive way.
Social Media can be a great thing, if it is used in a healthy way. However people today tend to view their self worth based how many likes they get on their newest Instagram picture or Facebook post. This creates an unhealthy attachment and dependency between many people and their social media apps. Everyday it seems as if more and more people are living their life through a screen and our society is becoming more accustomed to this extreme usage of technology.
Its important to understand how powerful Social Media really is. The key to using social media is to not let it control you. This may sound obvious or unnecessary to some, but there are many people in our society who define their worth solely within social media. This is not healthy. Its critical that we recognize this problem and try to improve as a society. We must stop trying to impress each other and instead try to inspire one another. Despite Its current downfalls I believe Social Media has the power and potential to change the world in a positive way.
"Aim to inspire, not impress."
