This research study has been an area of interest for me for a long time now. We live in an age where technology is growing at a rapid rate. These advancements have brought many changes to world especially the social media world. The age group I want to focus on is 14-25 year olds, as these are the key time periods in which these individuals form a sense of identity. And as my title suggests, I believe the social media has a big impact on ones' personal development and identity. One specific point I would like to tackle in my project is the development of comparison among these teenagers and young adults. One thing I notice in society now a day is the detrimental effect of comparison. This causes these individuals to have poor self-esteem and to not fully develop into who they're meant to be! And social media plays a big role in this! For my project, I intend to find scholarly articles of this topic to support my argument.
I absolutely agree with your point! I think this topic will be fascinating to research on. I am interested in knowing to what extent does social media influence one’s self-esteem.
ReplyDeleteHey David,
ReplyDeleteI am also interested in finding the effects of social media on teens and children today. Millenials are so self-absorbed in the amount of likes they have on a post or how many followers they have on Instagram and Twitter. If one doesn't have the standard amount, their self-esteem goes down because they feel as if they are "unpopular". I think your study will be very interesting to see how teens react to social media.
