Social Media Impact

Project Description: 

In this project we're  taking what we learned from our lesson and describing the impact that social media has had on ourselves and others.

Interesting social media statistic:

 1 in 5 teens say that they constantly use tiktok and youtube. i chose this statistic because i'm the same way. my go to social media platform is tiktok or youtube!

social medias impact on society:  

social media has both a positive and negative impact on society. on one hand social media allows for people to connect and communicate. it's a great place to spread awareness on a certain topic and you're able to share knowledge that will spread at a fast rate. although on the other hand it does allow room for cyberbullying to occur as well as promoting unrealistic beauty standards. some of the information spread online is a hoax as well and with such young minds on the internet that doesn't allow much room for growth.

lessons learned: 

while completing this project i was able to confirm something i already knew which was that i have a healthy relationship with social media. it also allowed me to check out different statistics regarding social media usage with really boggled my mind. it allowed me to realize that social media has its negatives and its positives and thats okay as long as i practice safe and healthy social media methods.
