Abstract

Social media is interactive technology. It provides an easy and convenient way to connect, share information, and communicate with others. Some well-known social media platforms include Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat and YouTube. People use social media for various purposes, such as staying connected with friends and family, networking professionally, sharing personal experiences, expressing opinions, accessing news and information, and promoting businesses or causes. Nowadays, social media has become an inseparable part of everyone's life, especially younger generations. It has a paramount impact on students and youth, encouraging them to consider human nature and potentially becoming greedy and fanatical. It is utilized for both the construction and degradation of people from all backgrounds of life. Thus, this study aims to examine the effects of social media on the younger generation, including its potential benefits and drawbacks.
