WE HAVE TAKEN MANY INTERVIEWS AND HAVE LISTED THE PROS AND CONS OF SOCIALIZING FROM THE ANSWERS THAT WE HAVE GOT.

THE PROS AND THE CONS

THE PROS:-

LEARN HOW TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS AND MAINTAIN A GOOD PUBLIC IDENTITY THROUGH THEIR EXPOSURE TO ONLINE SOCIALIZING.

LONG GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE DANGER OF STRANGER INTERACTIONS BECAUSE INTERNET SOCIALIZING ARE FOUND OUT TO BE MOSTLY WITHIN ACQUAINTANCES AND FRIENDS.

People feel that socializing help them to communicate with their relatives living far away from them.

Many users social media users use it to tell everyone that where they are and what they are doing for example:-

If a person is enjoying at las vegas he or she will post it on the socializing sites to tell others.If a person is attending a meeting with an important personality he or she will post it on the account of theirs for others to read it.

THE CONS:-

People usually face cyber bullying, unwanted communications, etc. due to which even if they have an account they

do not prefer telling their identity or giving their original name or do not tell their genders.

People think that it does not give the feeling of face to face interactions.

When people read other people saying ‘that they visited some places in the holidays’ they feel bad that they could not visit any place due to some circumstances.

Instead of social media bringing people closer together, it essentially becomes an environment the others get left out.

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BOYS AND GIRLS.
