Facebook and Twitter two of the most used social media platform in India. Facebook and twitter was developed mainly for connecting people and making friends from all around the world.This platform help connect to the people around the globe with just a click.It was a great fun being on social media at that time,but is it same now? Things have been change so fast now, that social media is not just a place to chill out with friends it has become much more than that.It has become a place for marketing,advertising and selling products by the business enterprises.Businesses know that how diversify and wide this network has been spread and the rate of transfer of information is also very fast on this channels.Thus with the help of social media platform companies are able to bring more customer towards their products.
That’s it , Is social media Platform are limited up to this only?
The answer is ‘No’ it has much more to do in our life, we can’t ignore the fact that how social media is affecting our life in one or another way. What we see or showed on this platform are for certain purpose.A post or content shown regularly on every platform just to make a strong impact on the minds of the people.That’s why it is very important to understand the context of the post or topic, that has been shown on the the social media Platform and to anticipate what are the other side of context. At currently it is seen that we have been spending so much of our time on social media that we aren’t aware of the issues that are been a considered with national interest. Our awareness about the society and other issues is limited up to only what we see on social media.Especially the youth their mind has been brainwashed with certain post that only promote hate against other community. Making them believe that their existence is only for the purpose of fighting and protecting their community. Thus this is just a example from the society . But this all things makes us think “Is social media manipulating youth?”

I guess it is very clear that how social media platform has planted hatred in minds of youngsters. Youth fighting and abusing each other over a social media post just because something that has been posted is not befitted with their thoughts. Suddenly a group of lefts and rights is created and everyone started bullying, harassing and abusing each other despite knowing that it is not going to change anything. Their argument on social media is just a medium to divert their minds and get involved in unnecessary arguments on social media and waste their time.
How Can We Stop This ?
Well it can only be stop by one, when they realizes that it is of no worth. Abusing and arguing others, over social media platform will not help us in any type of development. Despite of this one can use public speaking, participate in debate and become a part of proper group discussion which would really help an individual in his development.
It takes discipline not to let social media steal your time.
