The Effects of Social Media on Today’s Society

Social media has transformed interpersonal relationships, family dynamics, and social etiquette. While it enhances connectivity and facilitates communication, it also fosters online intimacy, emotional influence, and social isolation. In families, digital technology can replace personal interactions, impacting parent-child relationships. Additionally, social norms within social networks dictate online behavior, altering real-life manners. This paper explores the positive and negative effects of social media on society and emphasizes the importance of balancing digital engagement with real-world interactions.
