In connection to that, this paper researches how social media affect people’s emotion.

Many people confine themselves with the obsession of posting, taking photos, commenting and sharing, liking as well as disturbing. Many people argue that social media does not affect their social life. In real-life situations, social media life is full of fantasy, and it does not actuarially exist. Many have been revealing what they go through in life through social media. Like some people get stranger after they meet with someone they have been chatting with on Facebook. It is extraordinary to meet someone you have never met before, but on through social media. The relationship sometime might be not as expected by the characters. The post people post in the social medial is good indicators of what someone has been doing on the whole. There are many cases of people meeting on social media. It leads to adverse effects like kidnapping or results to be a fatal date. This can actually affect the victims a lot hence leading to negative mentally concerning a particular type of group of people.

The issue of cyberbullying has increased through the use of social media. The medial is well known in making friends at the same time it can make enemies. Through it becomes easy for predators to find a victim. The online attack from friends and strangers can make someone feel pissed and hate himself or herself. The outcome of cyberbullying is hatred, committing suicide or even doing away with social media entirely. It leads to parting ways with the friend that one has been used to. Social media is also associated with depression and anxiety. Many of the people who are addicted to social media are like to suffer from anxiety and even depression. The peer pressure from friends makes one can make one think their friends are living a better life than others. It can lead to one hating himself or herself because of how other people have achieved.

Social has been part of our daily through it is used by people worldwide. There are different ways through which social media has impacted people’s life. Despite that, it has brought both positive and negative effects on human beings. People use social media to transact their businesses by posting what they are offering so they can shop online. Many international enterprises use social media for marketing their products. The tourism business has been boosted through online transactions (Hudson & Simon et al., 27-41). Tourists can google all the air ticket changes throughout the season. One can identify the kind and type of the airplane he wants to travel with, the time it will be taking off, and all the routes it will pass. The efficiency of shopping in such companies can be seen in the feedback people comment on either the Facebook wall of such companies. The same social media that facilitate business can also lead to conmen hiding point. There have been many issues of people being coned through online transactions.

The use of social media has facilitated the issues of insecurity all over the world. It has been proven that social is the most insecure site where can meet and transact negative business that can lead to claiming innocent lives. Through the use of the internet, there is nobody who can claim is that much secure. There is nothing much that can be done to make sure those who try to violate social media are captured and charged. Terrorists can use google maps to search they plan to attack. On the other hand, most of the people who joint those terror groups are due to the effect of social media.

Despite the use of the media making life to be more relaxed and more comfortable, there many negative issues related to it. Currently, the use of social media has led to the problems of insecurity a lot. Many of the fraudsters are using social media platforms in conning and even threatening the life of innocent people (Anderson et al., 38). Many of the cheats use the details from the social to trace people they want to steal from him or her. The same information can also be used to unlock all bank accounts and take money.

The use of social media sometimes becomes addictive if not controlled by users. When one is using social medial, he or she interacts with many people. Some of the behaviour expressed by the children are copied from social media. If children are using a particular page, they are supposed to be authentic and proved by the parents to avoid exposing children to pornographic films. Social media again can lead to depression to young people, but on this, it will depend on how one uses it. Some people express their stress online by posting what they have been through in life. Through that, one can tell who is facing it hard in life, and who is comfortable. Even though social is never the measure of what people go through, but to some extent, one can be judged by what they post online (Parkinson et al., 371-380). Those people with low self-esteem are more concerned about what other people might be posting about them. It makes them keep on monitoring their feeds and delete unwanted posts. Despite all those issues brought by social media, those people who are focused on life never take their grudge online. Social media has been a place where everyone can post what he or she is doing in life (Bazarova & Natalya et al., 128-131). People with high self-esteem use the social media platform to post about their success in education, work, and even their family achievement.

In conclusion, social media is much linked to what happens in the streets. Controlling the use of social media is an arduous task, though, it is always useful in monitoring and curbing what the users might try to practice in real life. It is believed that the interaction of social media causes most of the negative behaviours happening in society. The use of social media is associated with negative body images. The research shows that many of the social media, like Facebook, fake life by posting pictures that do not resemble real body images. Through that, many people indulge themselves in applying a chemical that may boost their body shape to look like their idols. Those who are addicted to social media likely to suffer from unhealthy sleep pattern syndrome because of lack of enough sleeping time
