Analyzing Reasoning on Both Sides
Introduction
My topic is about the effects of social media on platforms. Given the current technological advancements, people cannot ignore the fact that social media can have both negative and positive impacts on relationships. These impacts mostly depend on an individual’s perspectives about the use of the various social media platforms. Such is an indication that the reasonings presented by various scholars regarding the subject might be true or not.
