Group 1

With or Against Social Media

I agree that social media does more harm than good, because it depends on how the person uses it.
The first reason is that it often promotes unrealistic expectations, cyberbullying and privacy issues. However
when used responsibly it can also be a tool for connection and learning. It can also be a source of income for
someone who does not have the ability to pay rent.

Group 2
Eman - Mai - Nayira - Mahmoud

Social Media
I agree that Social media is harmful. It is sometimes used to promote fake news and sometimes it is believed. For
example, Coronavirus news. Sometimes, Social media is a waste of time .Social media distracts children and
takes (away) their attention . Social media causes many problems in the lives of others. For example, there are
people who may get bullied because of the shared posts and photos. Finally, social media must be used correctly
so as not to waste time

Group 3

Social Media
Agreeing , social media does more harm than good. It fosters addiction, leading to
decreased productivity. There are hacking operations on social media, which leads to many
threats (,) as well as Isolation and family breakdown . One day someone hacked my social
media account and threatened me . Use of social media for a long time, has a negative
effects on our health. For exmaple, it may cause the poor eye vision. Finally, I am against
overuse of social media.
