Some people believe that the internet has brought

people closer together by making the world smaller.


Others disagree, claiming that the internet has made
people and communities more isolated beause they no
longer need to leave home interact with others
Discuss both view views
Discuss both views and give your own opinion
Which view do you agree with?
Has the internet helped or harmed human relationships?
Is there a third option?
The best option is a combination\balance of these two
Body 1: how the internet helps people
Body 2: how it harms people
The internet has greatly impacted our lives,especially
in the way we interact with others. While some think
this technology has shrunk the world and made it
easier to establish relationships, others counter that it
has in fact led many people to disengage
No opinion
Both viewpoints have merits, as this essay will
demonstrate
With opinion
As both viewpoints have merits, I tend to believe that
everyone has a duty to balance his or her on- and
offline socialization
The internet’s ability to connect people from all corners
of the Earth is certainly a positive development.
Businesses can reach more customers, strangers can
meet online to share ideas, languages, and other useful
information, and, most importanly,people are more
cognizant of others’ struggles and are able to help with
a click of a button. For example, when crisis occur,
such as earthquakes, typhoons, or terrorist attacks,
people can send financial and emotional support via e-
transfers, message boards, and social network
awareness campaigns. Rescue and rebuilding efforts
can thereby be sped up and people can feel a sense of
accomplisment. Clearly, this brings people together in
real and meaningful ways
That being said, many people consider clicking a
button on on some website an empty gesture, one as
simple as purchasing a pair of jeans. Of course, there is
no denying that financial aid has real impacts, but the
feeling associated with this action actually serves to
distance people from others because it is too easy and
requires minimal effort. Meeting someone face-to-
face, on the other hand, demands a person’s time and
energy, and it requires a motivation. The less people
engage in these sorts of meetings, the less inclined
they become to do so, even locally, resulting in a
withdrawal to one’s comfort zone and a growing sense
of others as virtual realities that can be ignored merely
by going offline
No opinion
To summarize, the internet provides people with
many benefits yet it also has the power to disconnect
them from the real world. It is up to everyone to
decide for themselves their levels and modes of
engagement.
With opinion
Therefore, the optimal solution would be to spend
quality time both in cyberspace and the real world.
One who can do this effectively can thereby have the
best of both worlds.
