Topic > Facebook makes society more connected - 1173

Today's generation does not understand how Facebook makes our society more connected. With the growing number of people joining social networks like Facebook, communicating with others is easier than ever. Juliane Elliot argues in her paper “How the Internet Changed the World” that Facebook has fundamentally changed our daily lives in several ways. For example, it allows people to build stronger relationships with friends and family by providing a quick and easy method of communication. Additionally, companies have increased advertising through websites like Facebook because of the large number of people exposed to advertisements and also because posting an advertisement is simple. Finally, political life has improved significantly as politicians can now reach their voters with just a click. These arguments, however, are opposed by other authors who write about how Facebook has led to a loss of personal communication and productivity and can spread falsified evidence. Although the validity of Facebook as having a positive impact on society is questioned among groups who oppose social networks, Juliane Elliot is very persuasive in her argument due to her use of logical reasoning, emotions and practical application in everyday life. Facebook has influenced our society culture and changed the way people communicate with each other. Before Facebook, people wrote handwritten letters and waited days or weeks for a response. With Facebook, Juliane states that “we send instant emails thousands of miles away,” allowing us to stay in touch with only a fraction of a second delay (Elliot 3). By relating Facebook to personal relationships, readers can see the practical use Facebook has in our daily lives by bringing… middle of paper… to offer. Highlighting the social impact of Facebook convinces readers of its positive effects by demonstrating the logical and practical benefits for the daily life of a typical community member. Juliane's persuasive writing convinces people who dispute the benefits of Facebook by pointing out the positive economic impacts of Facebook. Including Facebook's role in politics also persuades the reader by showing the practical application of using such advanced online social networks to learn about and discuss political issues. Be it social, economic or political aspects of society, Juliane is very persuasive in convincing those who are against the use of social networking sites like Facebook for their support through the use of logical, emotional and practical reasoning that the company can benefit from incorporating. such services in our daily lives.
