THE MANY BENEFIT OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Every individual is aware of the fact that social media can have a positive impact on a persons lifestyle or career and at the same time, have a negative effect on people who are not strong enough to resist Temptations or negative influence. Social media has been around for a while now and we have different varieties. Many more are even coming up for instance, we have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, tiktok, chelee, badoo and so many more. My own opinion is that it takes a great deal of discipline and self awareness to be able to resist the temptation of being influenced by people on social media who are actually living in the fake life.

Personally, social media has offered me more positive influence in my life than the negative aspect. Most of what I have come to learn today is because I do not see the social space as only a form of entertainment but a means to learn from different cultural background and imbibe it to the knowledge I already possess. For example, as a tailor or a fashion designer that I am, I get to learn and at the same time interact with gurus and exceptional talented fashion designers on the social media space.

These days you do not have to break a bank or be confined to the four words of a classroom before you can learn the trade. There are many people on social media like Instagram, tiktok or Facebook Who Post short videos on how to get things done. You would definitely find tutorials on every aspect of lifestyle on social media ranging from tailoring, cooking, baking, pastries, decorating, herbal preparations and so many more. I see this as a means of exploiting the social media space to my benefit rather than been fixed on people using my views to make money. So, what I am trying to say is that it offers various platforms that are not limited for individuals to build their self-expression and creativity through content creation.

Another way that social media has been beneficial to me is in the aspect of exposing me to information that can help my career and profession. On social media, I am mostly glued to news that happens across the continent as it keeps me aware of happenings in my country and beyond. Again, it offers education contents that cuts a cross various aspects such as etiquette, pronunciation, manners and so on.
Social media is so informative, that you get all news on it from crypto bull and bear seasons, trends, fashion, delicacies, style etc.

In conclusion, no doubt social media can be addictive but for the good reasons are okay. Some cons of social media would include, spreading of false rumors, no respect of privacy as you can just see yourself trending on social media, pressure to be rich and flamboyant, lowers self esteem, Temptations and so on.
