TOPIC: Effects of Social
Media
Title: The Negative Effects
of Social Media
I. Social media’s pervasive influence is
characterized by its widespread
presence and significant impact on
various aspects of individuals’ lives
and society as a whole, shaping
behaviors, perceptions, and
interactions on a global scale.
A. The pervasive influence of
social media manifests in its
profound negative effects on
both mental and physiological
health.
II. Social media adversely
affects our psychological
health.
A. Decreased self-esteem and body
image issues are observed due to the
comparison culture fostered by
curated online personas and the
influence of unrealistic beauty standards
perpetuated on social platforms.
1. Many individuals experience a
decline in self-esteem when
comparing their lives to the
idealized versions portrayed on
social media, leading to feelings of
inadequacy and dissatisfaction with
their own appearance.
B. Increased feelings of loneliness and
depression occur as superficial
connections replace meaningful face- to-
face interactions , exacerbated by the
fear of missing out (FOMO) induced by
constant exposure to others’ highlight.
1. Studies have shown that
excessive social media usage
correlates with higher levels of
loneliness and depressive
symptoms, as individuals may feel
disconnected despite being
constantly connected online.
III. Social media adversely
affects our physiological health.
A. Disrupted sleep patterns result from
overstimulation caused by screen time
before bed and anxiety induced by
continuous social updates, impacting
sleep quality.
1. Research indicates that
individuals who engage with social
media before bedtime are more
likely to experience difficulty falling
asleep and poorer sleep quality
compared to those who refrain
from using social media before
sleep.
B. Sedentary lifestyle and physical
health issues arise from excessive time
spent on social media, reducing physical
activity levels contributing to
cardiovascular health problems and
obesity rates due to prolonged sitting.
1. Sedentary behavior associated
with prolonged social media use
has been linked to an increased risk
of obesity, heart disease, and other
adverse health outcomes, as
individuals spend less time
engaging in physical activities and
more time in front of screens.
IV. The extensive impact of social
media is evident in its significant
adverse consequences on both
mental and physical well-being.
A. By promoting a balanced
approach to digital engagement,
individuals can mitigate the negative
effects on their mental and
physical health, fostering a
healthier relationship with
technology in modern society.
