political, contents that poisonous the thoughtful and create problems.

The biggest factor of problems is the misunderstanding.

The recent research about communication ensure that :

Face signs participate 38% of the understanding.55% of body languages.Only 7% of spoken words.

People behavior and Religious life:People especially teenagers, will behave

strangely because of the less physical contact with each others , in addition of that, they become loneliness and have less contact with the family.

As for Religious life, Leaving many of the religious duties and this causes a lot of problems and as people move away from their religion, a major cause of their problems

Finally , Social media is Double-edged sword ,so we have to use this media in moderation , not too much , not too little in order to have a normal life.
