 PART 1
TOPIC: Social Networks
INTRODUCTION:
Why did you choose that topic? Why is it important or relevant for the people
today? (200 words)
This topic is important to know what it is for and the uses that can be given
to social networks other than just viewing images and that sort of thing.
Social networks in general serve for many things, one of them is to connect
with people and not lose contact with people who are far away from us, in
the same way social networks are used to make sales, such as Amazon.
This is also used for jobs such as for marketing directors or in other cases
would be influencer, also used for customer service, promote something,
attract customers and this helps to create a brand image and all this can be
done only in social networks.
Similarly social networks have their disadvantages and these are many
because here you expose yourself to the risk to your personal image as
social networks is a place where most people can use, also endangers your
safety if you do not navigate carefully and these same also endanger the face
to face contact because as it is easier to send messages sometimes people
prefer to keep talking by message than face to face.
That is why we chose this topic because knowing the social networks in
depth is much better for your safety and prevention of any future problems.
