Week 2 Has Social media become a negative platform?

-

 


Over the last few decades, social media has made huge growth throughout society. As many may not know the growth of social media has hurt others' mental health, social skills, and physical and mental appearance. Different apps for example, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, etc. give people the ability to close off the real world and connect, and share through social media. 

In 2022 research from Andrew Hutchinson, found that the most negative apps used on social media today are Reddit, Snapchat, and Instagram. The owners of each app continue to create updates to make that app "better" as it has torn so many people's mental health. For example, Snapchat and Instagram have created filters such as "The Beauty Filter" to show what the reality of a pretty person is.

With that being said, with the social media platforms continuing their growth it will only continue to get worse. People are now living through social media as they can communicate with others, online shop, and watch their favorite shows. Many think this isn't a big deal but due to social media has increasingly caused many cases of suicide, mental health, and even social skills within people.
