The negative effects
that Facebook has on society are that it can make people depress and it can
negatively impact learning. The way it
makes people feel depress is when they constantly go there and hope that people are putting comments on their
post or liking it. For instants the more
people get the Lonelier more they would go online hoping for something to
happen, as quoted by Ethan Kross “Research into the alienating nature of the
Internet—and Facebook in particular—supports Kross’s conclusion. In 1998,
Robert Kraut, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, found that the more
people used the Web, the lonelier and more depressed they felt. After people
went online for the first time, their sense of happiness and social
connectedness dropped, over one to two years, as a function of how often they
used the Internet”. This helps me to
believe that Facebook has a psychological effect depending on the person’s
lifestyle, by this I mean if that person has no friends or nothing to do with themselves
they will also end up being depressed due to Facebook.

The other effect Facebook can have on people is that it can
have a big negative impact on kids. Most
kids today have problems making friends and Facebook helps them be more
antisocial because you are posting comments and requesting friends you do not
know majority of the people you meet. “Teens
who use Facebook more often show more narcissistic tendencies while young
adults who have a strong Facebook presence show more signs of other
psychological disorders, including antisocial behaviors, mania and aggressive
tendencies”. This makes kids be more “shy”
when it comes to talking to people in the real world and this is a big problem
that we have to focus on. If this were
to continue it would be very hard for anybody to start a conversation or even
ask a simple question without somebody looking at them strange.

August 6, 2011 WASHINGTON—Social media Social
Networking’s Good and Bad Impacts on Kids
Positive affects Facebook has is that it allows you with
business networking and helps you plan events. When doing business networking
on Facebook it allows you to post business plans, ideas and general thoughts if
you need some advice or help. You can
make a fan page! Quoted “Facebook®, a
social networking website located at http://www.facebook.com/, has recently
gained popularity as an online tool to help market businesses. Accessible via
the Web or the latest generation of smart cell phones and PDAs, Facebook's
mission is to give people the power to share ideas and make the world more open
and connected” “Because of the large number of users visiting this social
platform, many businesses have turned to Facebook as a way to connect to
potential customers. This can be done with a Facebook Fan page”. This helps anybody who is trying to get their
business started or just thinking of new ideas and want to see what the people
think and this will lets you know what “the people or fans like or think can be
improved or changed”.
The other biggest thing that people are using Facebook for
is party promoting/ event planning which is big. By promoting on Facebook you save time, money
and you can post as many invitations you want.
This helps you save money by not having to buy a lot of flyers and also
getting the people that you want to come. You save more money this way because
all you got to do is send invites and this will let you know from the start who
is planning on going before you decide to spend more unnecessary money. “Social media have been a revolution in how
people plan events and communicate with one another. Rather than talking to
their friends in person, they can post a comment about their life. The
revolution of social media has allowed people to rekindle friendships, make new
friends and gain new interests”. That’s why
Facebook has a positive effect on event planning/ party promoting due to the
easy access and instant communication
with one another whether it be business or just a regular conversation its very
helpful.

by Shannon Webster, Demand Media, Social media paragraph.
This helps me to believe that the positives outweigh the
negatives due to the advantages you can use from Facebook, which is advice,
ideas, business and general conversation . Overall to me it is suppose to be used for social thing that's why they call it social network but people tend to find a "comfort zone" and most people use it for other things that they find interested to them and that's why it can a big effect on society.
