It is quite tricky to put an answer to the question of whether or not social media enhances or detracts from society. I feel that there is a very split view on this question, and that view does have to do a lot with age.

On the contrary, you see young adults and adolescents from Generations Y and Z who are completely consumed by social media, some making their living off of being a social media star, on platforms such as Vine or Youtube. As a member of Generation Z, I have a pretty split opinion myself on this issue of the pros or cons of social media in our society.

Social media unfortunately has a negative impact on society, because instead of people having to build up their own strength to be mean and say horrible things to someone in person, face-to-face, they can hide behind their phone, tablet, computer, or any sort of virtual shield that will keep them from having to confront anyone, all the while spreading hate and pettiness. When you leave a hurtful remark on someone's Instagram picture, you don't have to visually react to that person being hurt and you can say those mean things, and then just leave them to be crushed by your words and not know why or if there is any real reason you may have said those things. Social media apps such as Twitter fuel the fire between teenagers trying to get the most retweets and likes, even if that means bashing on someone else's tweets, pictures, etc.
