Social networking affects people negatively because it motivates them to do crazy things. Individuals are exposing themselves to danger by getting inspiration from things they seeon social media and these people, who want to look better than their friends or have pictures on social networks that would make everyone amazed, sometimes get seriously hurt or die. Some people are ready to climb a skyscraper or an unreliable structure or walk on the road just to take a selfie and then post it on their social networking sites. For example, I have a friend in Kazakhstan who laid down on the road to have a better picture than his friend and at any minute a car could have run him over. When a car finally approached, he was able to jump up just in time. His motivation for this was that he saw his friend from social media taking pictures standing on the road where cars were driving so he wanted to be cooler than him and thus he laid on the road. The article “Social Networking Makes Twits of Us All” by Maria Quinlan says that social networking helps people only show the positive parts about themselves to their friends so they can end up creating a lifestyle that is not completely true. ***Therefore, motivation is not coming from nowhere but it is appearing by chasing glory and competing with others who also only show their exciting moments. In conclusion,
social networking may make people do high risk activities, so it’s dangerous.
