The Pros and Cons of Social Media
 
Introduction
 
           In the world over, social media engagement has become more prevalent among teenagers and youth. This outstanding popularity has enabled continued research and studies to develop new social media platforms with increasing years. According to Miller et al.,(pg24), teenagers access the internet through various platforms which include Snapchat, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and WeChat which constitute the major platforms in the world today. One can note that social media emanated from nowhere and impacted the world both positively and negatively. The effects of social media only depend on how an individual view it. In recent times, different groups of people have come out to praise social media platforms on how they have improved their lifestyle, but have they? This empirical research will explore the pros of social media among the world population like education awareness and worldwide connectivity, the cons of continued use of social media especially among teenagers including mental health problems and low self-esteem, and outline a general overview of what has been discussed.
 
The Pros of Social Media
 
           Social media has a positive influence on teenagers and the worldwide population. It is a platform for socializing, networking, and building meaningful relationships through positive interactions (Miller et al., pg24). Moreover, it gives the youth the ability to become proactive and engaged in the daily discourse and participate in broadening of knowledge and meet people who make a difference in their lives. 
 
Worldwide Connectivity
 
In the world over, social media has created an effective line of a network between the people using its platforms which include Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook, especially among teenagers. Several websites have also been developed where people can interact with others based on a strong internet connection. When people interact socially, they can come up with innovative ideas in business, technology or other fields of expertise. Moreover, different political views can be shared by a specific group of people. Social media has established a strong worldwide connection among the people irrespective of origin, religion, race or age (Fuchs, pg142). For instance, a teenager has the opportunity to share innovative ideas with an older person through these platforms. 
 
Regular Updates and Information
 
Different platforms for social media provide detailed information and breaking news on all activities happening around the globe. A large number of the world population now prefer obtaining news at the comfort of their cell phones to watching them on televisions or listening to radios(Miller et al., pg24). In rare occasions, the print media can be biased on the details of the information that they convey to the general public which is why these people prefer getting news only through their social media platforms. However, one is required to exhibit caution when utilizing these platforms to avoid spreading any fake news which is more prevalent among teenagers. 
 
Increased Awareness of a Brand
 
           Tiago, Maria & José (pg704) point out that social media constitutes an efficient digital marketing procedure that is used to enhance the visibility of a business through creating a brand via its platforms such as Twitter and Instagram. When a social media strategy is implemented effectively, the awareness of the brand will increase by reaching out to a larger population market that is specifically targeted by the business. This strategy involves the creating of relative social media profiles and broadly interacting with consumers. When people from all walks of life interact with your platforms through liking and sharing your content, an increase in brand awareness will be established leading to a generation of a wider audience of the goods (Matthew Hudson). Therefore, in recent times, a large number of businesspersons prefer to first establish a strong brand through social media before delivering the actual services. 
 
Education Awareness
 
           Additionally, social media has broadly provided an education platform that can be used in the advancements of knowledge in different fields of study like religion and politics (Stavros et al., pg468). A person is capable of learning relatively anything from online platforms at his comfort. For example, teenagers have been educated on how to improve self-management skills and independence. Besides, social media provides educational know-how irrespective of a person’s educational background or location. The public can be educated on the dangers of a particular phenomenon and how to overcome it. The general awareness can be based on a pandemic, disease, security or any public emergency.
 
Law Enforcement
 
           Social media has been used by different countries all over the world to enforce the law in many ways. For instance, a country normally enhances the security system by posting the threats to security on different social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and even Instagram. The main purpose of undertaking this exercise is to ensure that the public is well informed and remains on a high alert note. The government can post the pictures of a wanted or dangerous criminal and put a bounty on his head. Moreover, with the help of social media, videos of different crime scenes can be posted by the public or the government to ensure everyone stays on high alert by avoiding the area (Lisa Marie Mercer). Most of the youths are involved in criminal activities hence this can influence their lives when they surrender to the local authorities for conviction of a crime. therefore, through social media, the security of the public can be assured only if they work in collaboration with various security agencies in finding any criminals posted on different social media platforms.
 
Common Interests 
 
           Finally, social media platforms offer a great commonality of interest among teenagers, youths and adults. This implies that they bring together the same ideas from different people in various fields (Ioanăs, Elisabeta&Ivona pg301). For instance, people with the same hobbies have the capability of sharing the same sites that only talk about their specific hobbies like cooking. When such people with the same interests come together, they can establish even a better idea through social interactions. Most people have the nature of only following those with similar interests as theirs. Therefore, social media is regarded as a strong tool for sharing ideas and interests among all kinds of people.
