Disrespectful comments can have a negative impact on the targeted individual, whether it is online or in real life. Words, even in a virtual world, can have a far reach on people.

I have seen many people sit together and not interact directly. They instead use their smarphones, which is unfortunately one of the bad effects of social media.

Even with its many disadvantages, social media platforms like Facebook can help individuals in many ways. Online support groups can sometimes give a voice to people who are afraid to talk directly.

Social media helps all types of already existing businesses promote their products and reach more customers. It gives them greater reach.

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

A great example is the creation of businesses that concentrate on social media marketing.

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

The emergence of social media has helped many individuals launch successful businesses. It definitely represents a great opportunity if used properly.

Online communities are a great way for individuals to connect and sometimes create great friendships! Internet definitely helped form relationships that would not have existed without it!

Parents are usually role models for their kids. Therefore, I believe that if parents behave respectfully on online platforms, it will influence their children in doing the same.

@PreddieKevin Exactly!

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

Media articles that treat individuals of a certain group unequally should be reported through social media by members of our society.

@PreddieKevin Other ethnical groups have been and are still not treated the same way by media. Research shows that when an attack is done by Muslims, it can have five times more coverage by media agencies compared to attacks made by people who do not practice this religion (Independent, 2018)

@ChevrierShyam I try to pass as minimum time as possible on my smartphone!😅😂What about you?

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

Parents should not give too much freedom to their kids when it comes to social media. They should have the authority to stop them, especially when they pass too much time in front of screens.

Even if social media can help in fighting hate speech, I believe that the best way to resolve this social issue is through face-to-face communication.

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

Younger people can be very influenceable, which can become a big issue when it comes to social media. This platform can lead them to interact with anybody, which means that parental control is necessary.

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

Before letting their children use social media, parents should do actual research on the benefits and disadvantages of this way of interacting. They would be more informed and would have better knowledge of what their kids experience online.

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

One of the main benefits of social media is that it allows people who have common interests to connect and share their passion with a greater amount of individuals.

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

Since teenagers pass a lot of time on social media, it can be used to spread positive messages to them and help them pass through tough times (sharing motivation videos for example).

[Lockmen Imcaoudene @LockmenI]

Hashtags can go a long way. A lot of positive movements have been created thanks to this feature.

There most be ways to report efficiently cases of bullying on social media. I believe that simply clicking on the "report" icon for a disrespectful post is not enough.
