# 2- Is Social Media Good or Bad?!

I choose to for my first article to read about ways that Social Media is good and bad. My personal opinion is that I believe Social Media is the best thing but at the very same time it could be the worst thing ever! I personally go on Twitter and Facebook. Twitter is how I personally connect with bands all around the world that not many people know about! Twitter is also how  I find out the latest gossip or breaking news in the world! Facebook is amazing because I moved 3 times. So when I joined Facebook i was able to reconnect with all of my friends from my old towns! Social Media in general can also help small businesses, law enforcement to catch criminals and crime, can also help shy people come out of there shell, and colleges use social media to recruit students. Twitter and Facebook can also be used very negatively. If you tweet something on twitter and you don't have you account on private the whole world can see it! Also if you post a tweet it could be spread in an instant. Facebook can negatively be used in many ways. Bully's could comment on your pictures and make fun of you. Also social media can negatively be used to spread false information, cheating on school assignments, can harm your chances for college admissions if you post the wrong stuff,and for the people who spend to much time on the internet also have lower grades.

Hey! My name is Madison Frank. I choose to take sociology because I want to eventually be a Physical Therapist! So I thought it would be good idea to take sociology. As my semester project I choose to research Social Media! I choose social media because I am personally always on Twitter and YouTube looking up all different types of music! I also hope to learn more about social media and how it impacts society!
