 Unit 1: Social Networks

How have social networks influenced our daily lives since their creation?

Axe 7: Citizenship and Virtual Worlds

 

A definition:

A social network is an online platform on which you can have virtual interactions with others and connect with the whole wide world. Moreover, you can also share videos, photos, send instant messages or even check the news. On top of that, social media make people more open-minded thanks to the diverse online social interactions. On those applications, it is also possible to chill and to relax through online games and music. It is also possible to learn new languages thanks to the international connections.

However, if you do not know how to deal with them properly, they could be very harmful for you. In fact, you can be a victim of cyberbullying, or usurpation of identity. Furthermore, you can become addicted and isolated as they can be time-consuming. Someone can violate your privacy by stealing your personal information to sell them (cyberattack). Eventually, there can be an impact on your writing skills because of the short messages you are accustomed to send.
