in another hand it has also created the culture that we use as individuals to compare each other either positively or negatively, where we measure our self worth by likes, comments and followers, we hide our imperfections showcasing the highlights, but behind the screen, that perfect personality, that cheerfully persona is struggling with anxiety, depression and loneliness.
SOCIAL MEDIA A MEANS OF EDUCATION

social media has become the village and source of information where we can search for what ever we are searching for and get the best results, it is indeed an archive of information and knowledge. I remember when I was in school social media played an impressed role to my success in school because I used this tool to improve, grow, and develop myself mentally physically and educational wise.but this same tool could be used to spread false informations and you know false information spreads like wildfire.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND RELATIONSHIPS
