Has Social Media improved people’s relationships

 Q. Write a debate in 120-150 words either for or against the motion on the topic ‘Has Social Media improved people’s relationships?'

1. For the motion

Good Morning Everybody!

I'm Harshit Kapoor and I am going to support the motion, "Has Social Media improved people’s relationships?"

My first argument in support of my view that with Social media has revolutionized the way we connect with others. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have enabled people to stay in touch with friends and family who are geographically distant. This has bridged the gap between people who may have otherwise lost contact.

What's more, social media has provided a platform for people to share their experiences, thoughts, and feelings, fostering deeper connections and empathy. For instance, online support groups have been created for people dealing with mental health issues, providing a sense of unity, community and understanding. After all, social media leads to improvement in communication and boosts connectivity among people. To say, with the invention of various social media platforms we can easily connect/communicate with anybody anywhere anytime.

If this is not enough, I have many more reasons to offer. First, social media makes remember the relationships among people. Just ask a person who doesn't get the news of his relatives or loved ones, you will get know how important social media in holding our relations which otherwise remain in our minds only. Social media update regularly about our looks, success, present status which a person sometimes fail to tell to the relatives.

Therefore, I don't see any reason why social media hasn't improve people’s relationships. Yes, I do agree that social media playa an active role in improving people’s relationships all the times.

Thank you! 

2. Against the motion
Good Morning Everybody!
My name is Harshita Kapoor and I am here to wholeheartedly oppose the motion Has Social Media improved people’s relationships?

My worthy opponent has led us to believe that the invention of social sites allow people to interact each other from distant world. May, it is not. Instead it has widened the gap between the people even from same blood relations residing under one roof and create a boundary between them. If we are continuously busy in social site, we have not any time left for our any relation whether for parents, siblings, spouse or even children. Due to which, children may begin moving on wrong direction besides becoming victims of emotional, behavioural and other health problems. We get trapped in the unrealistic world of social media where most of our posts and friend list are just to show off and pretend themselves superior.

Social media has not improved people’s relationships because it has caused miscommunication and misunderstandings among people. It distracts people from face-to-face communication. Non verbal cues, for example facial expressions, body language are omitted from social (these) sites and symbols or emojis convey sometimes wrong messages causing relationships breakdown. All this cause distractions in their real life.

What's more, social media facilitate jealousy and insecurity. It can be a breeding ground for mistrust and suspicion. This can be particularly damaging romantic relationships, where trust is essential for building a strong foundation. People have less time to spend with real life partners. They focus more on the number of likes and followers they have, rather than on building meaningful relationships. Excessive use of social media is linked to decreased social skills and increased feelings of loneliness.

Rather than living a unrealistic life with social media. Let's come in reality and make strong relationships. Thus, no matter, how social media is used by people whole day, it has not has not improve people’s relationships.

Thank you.

3. Speech (discussing both views)
Good morning everyone,

Social media has revolutionized the way we connect with others. Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have enabled people to stay in touch with friends and family who are geographically distant. This has bridged the gap between people who may have otherwise lost contact. Moreover, social media has provided a platform for people to share their experiences, thoughts, and feelings, fostering deeper connections and empathy. For instance, online support groups have been created for people dealing with mental health issues, providing a sense of community and understanding.

However, social media has also been shown to have a negative impact on relationships. The constant stream of curated updates can create unrealistic expectations and promote comparison, leading to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Moreover, social media has replaced face-to-face interactions, causing people to feel isolated and disconnected. A study by the University of Maryland found that excessive social media use is linked to decreased social skills and increased feelings of loneliness.

Therefore, it is essential to strike a balance between social media use and real-life interactions to maintain healthy relationships.

Thank you.

4. Good morning everyone!

Today, I want to talk to you about a topic that is very relevant to all of us in this digital age - "Has Social Media improved people's relationships?"

Let's start by looking at the arguments for and against this topic.

Firstly, social media has undoubtedly made it easier for us to connect with people from all over the world. Through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, we can keep in touch with friends and family members, no matter where they are. This has allowed us to maintain relationships that may have otherwise fizzled out due to distance.

Secondly, social media has also provided us with a platform to share our lives with others, allowing us to feel more connected to those around us. By posting updates about our day-to-day activities, we can keep our friends and family members informed about what's going on in our lives, fostering a sense of closeness and intimacy.

However, on the flip side, social media has also been criticized for having a negative impact on our relationships. Some argue that it promotes superficial connections, with people focusing more on the number of likes and followers they have, rather than on building meaningful relationships. Additionally, social media can also lead to feelings of jealousy and inadequacy, as we compare our lives to the curated versions presented by others online.

In conclusion, while social media has its pros and cons, I believe that it has, overall, improved people's relationships. It has provided us with an unprecedented level of connectivity, allowing us to stay in touch with loved ones and share our lives with others in a way that was not possible before.

So, let's embrace social media for all the good it can bring to our relationships, while also being mindful of its potential pitfalls. Let's use it as a tool to enhance our connections with others, rather than allowing it to replace real, meaningful interactions.

Thank you for listening!

5. Good morning/afternoon everyone!

Today, I want to talk to you about a topic that is a huge part of our lives - social media. Specifically, I want to discuss whether social media has improved people's relationships.

Let's dive into this topic by looking at a couple of arguments.

Firstly, social media has made it easier to stay connected with friends and family, especially those who are far away. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat allow us to instantly share updates, photos, and videos with our loved ones. This constant connection helps us feel closer to each other and maintain stronger relationships, even across long distances.

Secondly, social media has also opened up new opportunities to meet like-minded individuals and build communities based on shared interests. Whether it's joining a Facebook group for your favorite hobby or connecting with people on Twitter who share your passion for a cause, social media has made it easier to find and connect with people who understand and support us.

In conclusion, while social media has its drawbacks and can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or conflicts, overall, it has improved people's relationships by facilitating communication, fostering connections, and creating new opportunities for meaningful interactions.

So, the next time someone says that social media is ruining relationships, remember the positive impact it can have on our connections with others.

Thank you for listening!

To begin with, let's take a look at the impact of social media on our relationships. Some might argue that social media has made relationships more superficial, as interactions are often limited to likes, comments, and emojis. However, I firmly believe that social media has actually improved people's relationships in many ways.

Firstly, social media has made it easier for us to stay connected with our friends and family, especially those who are far away. Through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, we can instantly share updates, photos, and videos with our loved ones, keeping us connected and informed about each other's lives. This constant communication helps strengthen our bonds and fosters a sense of closeness, even when miles apart.
Secondly, social media has also provided a platform for people to meet and connect with like-minded individuals, forming new friendships and relationships. Whether it's joining a Facebook group for a shared interest, connecting with someone on Twitter over a common hobby, or even finding love on a dating app, social media has opened up new avenues for people to expand their social circles and build meaningful relationships.

In conclusion, while social media may have its drawbacks, such as the potential for miscommunication or comparison-induced stress, I believe that overall, it has had a positive impact on people's relationships. By facilitating communication, enabling connections, and fostering new relationships, social media has enhanced the way we interact with each other and has ultimately improved the quality of our relationships.

So, let's embrace social media as a tool to enhance our relationships, while also being mindful of its limitations. Let's use it to stay connected, build new connections, and strengthen the bonds that matter most to us.
