Social networks

 The social networks can be good but also bad. It is necessary to be careful with that. Facebook is a social network where everybody shows personal information so unknowns can know for example the place of residence or the phone number therefore it's very dangerous. 

Millions of Americans are addicted to social networks like Facebook , Twitter , MySpace , Youtube because all the teenagers gather to chat , post pictures or movies , organize parties and more.... People are more curious and become addicted to these sites. Look this video :

But these social networks are not as bad sides if it is reasonable. We can make new friends , boyfriends and girlfriends , discuss with our friends and family , and SOMETIMES , talking about homework ! 

But the government takes these sites very seriously : Barack Obama during question-and-answer session , talked the dangers of posting personal information. He warned teenagers against these dangers especially when they apply for a job. Because on Facebook , sometimes compromissing information are now visible as almost all employers are on Facebook , then both can a denied a job because of it. So be very careful ! 

To conclude , we should be careful not to go overboard (like lose sleep) and we should try to spend less time on social networks. 




In my opinion , social networks it's a good idea but in small doses !

Social networks, use it well !

On the one hand, social networks could be dangerous, especially for teenagers who can make mistakes or be addicted. Some of them become so addicted to Facebook that they lose contact with their friends in real life. Indeed, most of teenagers prefer to talk thought message instead of talking face to face.                                

   

 

 

 

 

It’s impossible for them to disconnect from social networks but it’s necessary for psychologists to fix this issue. Moreover, they can post personal (like their address or their phone number) and compromising information which, for example, could prevent them to find a job. The president Barack Obama declared that it could harm them especially when they applied for a job. So they should pay attention to what they post on social networks. And they should also spend less time on Facebook or Twitter.

 On the other hand, if the students use Facebook or Twitter with care, they could use it to find a job more easily and social networks could be useful. What’s more, some people say that it helps students who are shy and for them it is difficult to make friends. Due to social networks, they become more sociable. Those persons should have a Facebook account, only if they know how to use it well.

Social Networks : Should We Live Without ?

         

                 

    

 OR NOT

• Sometimes ago, a student in the university of Harvard was invented a social network who today, is the most widely used more than Google. This is Mark Zuckerberg.

Today, more than one billion of people use Facebook. It’s incredible! But, I think it’s dangerous for the people who use Facebook, for example someone who wants to see where lives someone else, he can find all details quickly even if it’s for bad reasons.

Or, any people can see your photo and use it to do anything, good or bad things; you shouldn’t put your personal information in Facebook without having problems.

Moreover, all people can write what they want on Facebook and they can do almost anything they want. For example, if you have a friend, you can exchange with him on his page, but sometimes, there is a stranger who can writes instead of you, and, I think it’s very dangerous if that person is a bad people with bad ideas. You shouldn’t speak with all people if you don’t know who they are.

However, I think it’s dangerous to add anybody without knowing him under his personal Facebook’s page, everybody need to take care if someone pretends to be your friend, in this case if you accept his invitation, everything can happen, you and your friends can be in difficult situations. So before accepting someone under Facebook, please check all information. 

Finally, before your registration on Facebook, you need to take care of everything, and check all details and information.

Facebook, the social network the most used, and can be useful if you use it correctly, for exchanging information, or communicate with your existing or new friends. 

But don't forget, if you stay too much time in front of your screen you will become addicted !

SOCIAL NETWORKS

Nowadays there are different social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace am much more.

 

 These sites have different uses. They can keep people in contact with each other even if they gave far away from each other. We can show them some pictures of videos. Also you can send the messages to talk with them without any delay. It’s very useful.

 But social networks can also be dangerous. This can be the case because some people can be addicted to it and spend too much time on those sites. So they don’t have real friends and if they do they don’t spend time with them. The people who are addicted to social networks, they spend their days on the computer instead of going outside for fresh air.

Social networking sites can also be dangerous because nowadays some employers look at their future employees social network accounts decided they should employ them or not. So before you get employed you should check that there is nothing that an employer does not want to see on your account. And a employers said that if you create a professional social network account.

 Social networks have also caused some people to commit suicide. There is a story about an Irish girl who moved to the states. She was a freshman and people made fun of her on her Facebook account. This caused her to commit suicide. Her mother said she was terrified about what happened and that we should do something about it.

For or Against Social Networks

               Social networks can be usefull to preserve relationship with people we can't see often but it can be dangerous if not carefully used. Indeed, “45% Employers use Facebook-Twitter to screen job candidates”,  write Oregon busines report web site so we should be carefull at what we post on social networks because more and more employers chose employees by looking at their social networks.

            Social networks can also be more dangerous: in some cases you might find yourself talking to someone you don't know. Or you can get some surprise like showed in this video.

          An other problem of social networks, and it is probably one of the most important, is the addiction. Addicted people spend all their time on social networks and awaiting new publication.

        The development of Facebook and Twitter on mobiles increased this addiction because now people can connect themselves at any times. This video can explain more precisely this new “drug”.

        I think social networks can be a great tool (to chat with distant friends) 
    but can also become very dangerous if your not carefull while using them.

Social Networks : A Great Debate

Nowadays social networks are the subject of a great debate. According to me, we can't say that social networks are good or bad for people.

A family who is talking on Skype. 

They may live far away 

from each others.

Indeed on the one hand social networks can be a way to express yourself, to keep contact with others : Lord Allan a representative of Facebook said during riots in England on September 2011, that there are 30 millions people in the United Kingdom who were using tolls to tell their family and friends that their safe. Moreover students use social networks to help each other when they have homeworks ; they can also catch up lessons that they have missed, thanks to a class's group created especially for this, on facebook for example.

But on the other hand, it can quickly turn dangerous. In fact you can become addicted to social networks or meet some strange people on it. What's more Barack Obama, for example, declared during a question-and-answer session on September 2009, that when we are young, we made mistakes and we did some stupid stuff ; and that he had hearing a lot about young people who were posting stuff on facebook, and then suddently they go apply for a job and someone has done a search. He advised young to be careful about what they post on social networks, because he wants them to think about who can look at their account such as potential employers.

So we should keep our account clean without compromising "stuff", like pictures. Moreover, for our safety we should only add people that we know and don't put personal infomations. Finally, we should be sure to have a social life in the real world and not only on social network. These advices, can show you that we can continue to use social neworks but no without some precautions.

Social network : Good or Bad ?

Social network exist in the world but it’s a good thing or a bad thing?

In many countries, there are Social networks and many child, students, parents or employers use this social network but every person do not come for the same thing.

The Children comes for speak or game with his or her friends, he can share many things.

Many parents comes on this social network for watch his or her child. But they go too for watch the actuality in the world.

The students they come for the same reason of the children and he must learn a minimum about his country.

The employers take a look of the person who wants a job in his Company.

But if they are many persons on his social network so there are many Consumers so there are many societies who make advertising on this website.

The principal advantage of this social network is : 

“Anyway about your color or your origins because 

the majority of the persons got an account on this

socials networks”.

 Social network linked different persons. Like a web.

Despite all of this advantage they are many disadvantages:

They are many persons who make fake accounts.

The official website of the BBC says “Facebook has more than 83 million illegitimate accounts” the 2 august 2012 at 17:17 GMT.

There are a lot of people who are found of Facebook for example,  and they stay 24/24 on the social network.

I think Social Networks is a good think because most of the persons who have an account on a social network aren’t bad. And you can know many people with it.

SOCIAL NETWORK : How far can it gone ?

Opinions shared about social networks are really mixed.

On the one hand, people say that social network are really beneficial and explain that some website, such as Facebook, Twitter or MySpace..., had changed their life. Indeed, on these social networks people can keep in touch with their childhood friends, their family or even friends who live in others countries. You can share jokes, events, photos or interests.

Moreover, for shy people it can be easier to speak to someone in front of a screen instead of talking face to face.

On the other hand, social networks have several disadvantages.

First, most of these relationships, who are created on these sites, are virtual.

Then, people have around hundreds or thousands of friends nevertheless they do not really know each person. They add people that they do not even met before !

Moreover, social networks, can drive people to worse consequences.

Are Twitter and Facebook kind of drugs ?

How can we know that we are a Facebook or a Twitter addict? We are connected on social networks at least once a day. We spend more time on it than we intend. A boy said that he spend around four hours per day on Facebook after school. He declare that he comments pictures or discuss with friends (even those he saw at school). He add that when he decided to switch off his computer, he turns on his mobile few minutes after to go on Twitter because he had nothing else to do.

If you are addicted to social networks,  you should have a break. You might have to delete your account if you can not just have a break. Actually, it is a bit like stop smoking: it harsh, but then you are glad to have done it.

                       

                                                          

Cyber bulling

We should not forget that social networks can also be a way to bullied people. Phoebe, a 15-year-old Irish girl, took her own life on January 2011.  Indeed, she was a newcomer and students from her school explained that she had difficulties adjusting. They think that she committed a suicide because she was a foreigner so she was victim of racism. She was called name, and bullies taunted her.

Therefore, students decided to pay a tribute to Phoebe. However, some people posted mean comments even after her death.

I advice you to speak out or get help if you are victim of cyber-bullying. Ignore bullies is not the better solution that we can find. According to me, if you do not talk to someone about what you underwent, you will have regrets. Moreover, on social network, everything is spread  faster even insults.

Social networks and Teenagers

Social networks are the first websites allowing the users of the Internet to register and to create their own profile. Social networks are mainly used to exchange messages or private conversations. There are several social networks, the most famous are:

                            

An example of an other social network that is less frequented:

Intended for book lovers, it can create a virtual library. It features excerpts of books.

                                                                                                                               This network is for international travelers who want to share advice about where to stay, eat and go out.

This social network allows you to build and manage a website or social application. 

It is interesting to notice that the people who are the most present on social networks are teenagers. When we talk about social network, the first thing that people say is:

                                

Teenagers that are on social networks can post everything and are not careful enough about what they post on the Internet such as photos and videos of them. Some people do not think about the consequences that this may have on their life later. Their biggest problem will probably be finding a job which can become more difficult since what they post on social networks can be found at any time (even after ten of years or more). Most people go on social networks to chat with friends, to play online, to help each other. Some teenagers go on forums to ask a question. However, these kinds of forums are less and less used. Nowadays, teenagers prefer to see friends while chatting with them and also sharing photos or other information and watch videos on the Internet.
According to me, social networks are a good way of communication, help people, search information, but they are also very dangerous. Everybody should be careful and shouldn’t be posting anything too personal on the Internet. In this way, social networks can be used without any problem.

       

Not very long ago, a young boy committed suicide because he was being blackmailed on Facebook. A girl recorded him in a compromising situation, and then she threatened to show the video to all his friends, unless he gave her 200 euros. He couldn’t stand this situation and he wrote a note before killing himself explaining that everything was his fault.
I advise you to be careful about what you post on Facebook and who you talk with. Finally, don't accept to go out with an unknown person and don't do stupid things that you will regret later and that can cost you your job or your life !

Be careful about social networks !

  Social networks are a recent concept and a lot of people use it. Nowadays, the main objective is to facilitate the communication with friends or family. It may be for work or just to socialize with others. For the example there are Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or LinkedIn.

  One of the best advantage is that most social networking sites are free, therefore, many people use them which means you can contact people all around the world for free and quickly. Everyone can use social networks. It's accessible for all.

   But there are also negative points. Many people make fake profiles for bad purposes. We can publish anything and everything, that’s why you should be careful about what you post on Facebook. Because when we are young, we are likely to make mistakes and regret them when we are older. Indeed, we can put compromising photos and smear reputation. Furthermore, many persons can see information about us, in your Facebook or Twitter profile. For example, if you apply for a job, it can lower your chances of getting hired, because the employer can see a compromising file about you. In top of that all, the information are saved we can't delete what we have put in our profile.Some people say that they haven't got any problems with Facebook and think that it is great. However, situations happen when a person is being blackmailed by another one.

Some people say that they haven't got any problems with Facebook and think that it is great. However, situations happen when a person is being blackmailed by another one.

Social networks mosly impact teenagers. We can spend a lot of time on Facebook and be addicted and alone. Many people want to quit going on Facebook because they are addicted. That’s why we should be careful about the social networks. Nethertheless, Facebook is an efficient way to communicate. But we should be careful!
