Main Idea: - Often use of social media platforms can inflict damaging effects to
the community.
Reason 1 ● Local communities are no longer forming close or supportive
relationships. (ex. people are not interested to have sincere
communications anymore)
Reason 2 ● Society is becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented. (ex.
people don’t interact with other citizens in their own communities

In my opinion, such sites can inflict damaging effects on local communities.
Firstly, the people within local communities are no longer forming close or supportive
relationships. For instance, people are contented mostly by what they see while
browsing through life updates of people posted on social media. This results to
people not initializing sincere conversations anymore. Secondly, society as a whole
is becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented as people spend more time
online with people they have never met in person and are unlikely to ever meet in
the future. To sum up, social media platforms do have a negative impact on societies
and local communities. People should do more to try and involve themselves in local
activities in order to promote the future of community life.
