multimedia, and information through virtual networks and communities. There are more
than 4.7 billion social media users around the world. In 2022, the number of social
media users worldwide grew by 137 million, or about 3%. Human beings are social
creatures. We need the companionship of others because it can ease strees, anxiety,
and depression. It also boost seft worth, provide comfort and joy, prevent loneliness,
and even add years to your life. The positive aspect of social media while virtual
interaction on social doesn’t have the same psychological benefits as face to face
contact. There are still many positive ways in which it can help. Through social media,
we can connect to other people that is far from us. We can still communicate to our love
ones in abroad and prevent from missing them a lot. It also helps a lot from sending
messages in no time because you will receive the message in just one click. While
many of us enjoy staying connected on social media, excessive use can fuel feelings of
addiction, anxiety depression, isolation, and Fomo (fear of missing out). The negative
aspect of social media is there’s little research to establish the long-term consequences,
good or bad, of social media use. Misuse of social media can also cause trouble and
the worst case is you’ll end up in jail. However, multiple studies have found a strong
link between heavy social media and increased risk-harm, and even suicidal thoughts.

for the better. Keep reading to discover how traveling makes you more open-minded.
Travel has the power of makes us a better person. When I think about the benefits of
traveling the word asit relates to open-mindedness. How traveling makes you more
open-minded? First, you recognize makes you more other cultures, you recognize that
not only do pleople other parts of the word do things differently. Often time, they do it
better. Second, you become self aware of your own impatience, one of the lesser-heard
answer is that you become aware of your own impatience towards others. The self
awareness also leads to change. Traveling to new places opens people’s mind to new
ideas. Travel takes us out of our comfort zones and inspires us to see, taste and try new
things. It constantly challenges us, not only to adapt to and explore new surroundings,
but also to engage with different people, to embrace adventures as they come and to
share new and meaningful experiences with friends and loved ones.

There are different types of education that a student may receive in today’s
society. The choices are narrowed down into two main categories: public and private
school. Many people in today’s society believe it’s better to send their children to private
schools rather than public schools. To most parents deciding which school system will
be better is based on curriculum, class size, and most of all cost. It’s not an easy choice
for parents to decide, but many parents feel their child is worth receiving the best
education offered. The quality of teaching and the expectations of the students differ
from the two schools. Advocates of private school argue that the education received in
one of these facilities is more valuable. One of the most important distinctions between
public and private schools is the cost. The question regularly asked is, “Can I afford to
send my child to private school?” Public schools are funded by tax, whereas private
schools demand tuition from their students. With private schools able to charge for
tuition, and many charge for textbooks and materials, some offer scholarships for
students to help with what is commonly a great final cost. Public schools are prohibited
from charging for tuition, or other fees that could include such as: transportation,
materials, and textbooks. Most of the time if public schools need more money for
education, taxes are raised. Uniforms are no longer just a private school requirement
as many public schools have started to enforce this as well. Whichever education
system a parent chooses there will always be a cost, it is just the difference in price that
has parents wondering is it worth it. The school chosen is an investment in your child’s
future and not a decision to be made lightly. Education is vital in today’s society.
Parents will always want what is best for their child especially when it comes to
education. The better the education the farther you will go in life. Deciding what and
where to receive the best education is always going to be a question for the masses.
