Pros and Cons of Social Media

The internet and Social Media have made a huge impact in society, but as everything, for the good and for the bad.
Social Media was created to help society and since it was created, it has let society advance. this sounds so awesome! Nowdays you are able to see and talk to someone that's thousands kilometers away from you. Also, you can get the newa so easly, just by pressing one button and not onlt your cities' or your country's news but worldwide news!
Also, if you are interested in something you can search information about it, learn and improve your knowledge. You can also raise awareness of it, if it's an important theme known worlwide. You can make an impact on it by writting stuff about it and other people that are interested in it too, can answer you and share their opinion with you and you can learn stuff about what they think and see other points of view.
By doing this, you are putting yourself in a good way on the internet. For example if you apply to a job, the person that dicides if they wat you in the job or not might look you up and search you to see what kind of person you are, what you like, what you are interested in , and most important what you post about yourself. what I mean by this is that you have to be careful with what you post because it will stay there forever, and with this, we get to the not so good part of Social Media.
If you are not private EVERYONE can see what you post and they can see your whole profile, without you knowing it; And if you are private, you have to be careful with "friends requests" since not everybody on the Internet in who they claim to be.
Finally, if you have a profile yourself make sure you post stull about yourself and if you say something or post pictures about some other person, make sure that they can see what you said about them because you could get in big trouble for posting stuff about someone else's life, because when you say stuff about someone, it s usually not good stuff, and you shouldn't make someone feel bad about themselves... That kind of stuff doesn't usually end up well.
