Social network like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Youtube are getting popular nowadays. As Malaysian, we are most familiar with Facebook. As we all know, social networking sites provide us a plate form to get to know more friends, reconnect with friend with cheaper way, exchange opinion, sharing and etc. Some said that social network equal to social problem but some denied.
Social network = Social problem?? (O.o)??
People claimed that as social networking site provide a plate form for each other to interact, we are hardly to recognize whether the person is in good intention or not, so it lead to social problem. Moreover, everything can be spread online very fast and people has no time to judge whether it is true or false and make conclusion, if it is sensitive news, it will lead to social problem as well. Besides, gossiping, rumor can be conduct in internet basis as well. People get hurt even they didn't meet up. Some might said since it provides interaction easier, people are becoming not familiar with face ti face interaction.
It seems like make sense that social network equal to social problem. But is it TRUE? Let's discuss it in dept. Will people with evil mind suddenly become angel mind merely because of the vanish of networking site? Will we be able to differentiate one is good or bad even if we interact with them face to face? Will the sensitive news become never happen merely because no one is spreading? Lastly, will people stop gossiping or sharing rumors among each other if they quit social networking site?
Definitely, NO!
People behavior will change, but their nature never change. A bad guy still a bad guy who conduct crime in real life. A news still a fact even if people are not spreading it. Gossiping still happen even though we remove social networking site. From these question, we can clearly seen that Social Networking is not equal to Social Problem. We cannot conclude that Malaysia is becoming worse in safety merely because we saw post on Facebook everyday. The crime rate might just same as previous, but because of the help of social network, people are easier to get information or updated news. Thing are share very fast, so everyone think the matter become more serious. But it might be wrong. Human nature is, bad thing will spread and good thing will keep. Therefore, most of the time, we can see lots of bad news posted on Facebook. You know what? Not because of nothing good that happen, merely because human's nature.
When we look it from the other angle, we can said that social networking actually raise the awareness of users towards all problems and issues. Of course there is some people spreading news in bad intention, back to the point, the problem in on people behavior, perception and intention, but not Social network.
Hence, Social Network is NOT = to Social Problem.!!!!
Stop social Problem my changing our intention, perception and behavior is a better way than claiming social network's fault.
