Essay writing on social issues / Additional Information you

may wish to share with us for improvement.
Answer:
SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media are interactive technologies that facilitate the creation, sharing and
aggregation of content, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual
communities and networks. Social media refers to new forms of media that involve
interactive participation. While challenges to the definition of social media arise due
to the variety of stand-alone and built-in social media services currently available,
there are some common features:

Social media apps are online platforms that enable users to create and share content
and participate in social networking.

The term social in regard to media suggests that platforms are user-centric and enable
communal activity. As such, social media can be viewed as online facilitators or
enhancers of human networks—webs of individuals who enhance social
connectivity. Since the dramatic expansion of the Internet, digital media or digital
rhetoric can be used to represent or identify a culture. Studying the rhetoric that
exists in the digital environment has become a crucial new process for many
scholars.

The impact of social media on individuals, communities, and society at large is

profound and multifaceted. On an individual level, social media has transformed how
we perceive ourselves and others, shaping self-image, identity formation, and social
comparison. The curated nature of social media profiles often leads to idealized
portrayals, fueling feelings of inadequacy and FOMO (fear of missing out) among
users. Moreover, the constant exposure to filtered images and lifestyles can
contribute to unrealistic beauty standards and mental health issues such as anxiety
and depression.

Furthermore, social media has revolutionized marketing and commerce, providing

businesses with unprecedented opportunities for brand exposure, customer
engagement, and market research. Influencer marketing has emerged as a lucrative
industry, leveraging social media personalities to promote products and services to
targeted audiences. E-commerce platforms like Facebook Marketplace and Instagram
Shopping have transformed the way we shop, blurring the lines between socializing
and shopping. As we continue to navigate the evolving digital landscape, it is
imperative to approach social media with critical awareness, mindfulness, and a
commitment to harnessing its potential for positive change.
