Pros and Cons of a Social Media

Social media is a digital technology that facilitates the sharing of content,

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.

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.

Difference Between Public and Private School

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.
