SOCIAL MEDIASocial media are  computer-

mediated  tools  that  allow  people, companies and other organizations to  create,  share,  or  exchange information,  career  interests, ideas,  and  pictures/videos  in virtual communities and networks.

Social media refers  to  the  means of interactions among people in which they  create,  share,  and/or  exchange information  and  ideas  in  virtual communities and networks. The Office of  Communications  and  Marketing manages  the main Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,  YouTube  and  Vimeo accounts.

SOCIAL NETWORKING SERVICEA social networking service  is 

a platform to  build social networks or social relations  among  people  who share  interests,  activities,  backgrounds  or real-life connections. 

A social network  service  consists  of  a representation  of  each  user  (often  a profile),  his  or  her social links,  and  a variety of additional services.

REASONS WHY STUDENTS LOVE SOCIALIZING…

• Social  networks  provide  them  the freedom to do whatever they want — to upload what they want and talk to whom they want.• To make new friends and comment on the lives of different people…

• To create other online identities that  the  real world does not allow.• To create a digital image of

their actions through  such a spontaneous medium.

DARKER SIDE OF SOCIALIZING

• Identity crisis constant social networking producesAs  said  by  Professor S. Shyam

Sunder,  a  renowned  researcher  at Penn State, “The types of actions users take and the kinds of information they are  adding  to  their  profiles  are  a reflection of their identities.”

• Students  have  become  prone  to frequent fluctuations in mood and self-control. If one of a student’s friends posted 

about  his  or  her  present  relationship with  someone,  then  other  friends  are pressed  to  do  the  same  thing.  Actions that  attract  more  public  attention  hold more value, even despite some of them being immoral or illegal.

• Students  became  entrapped by the ploys of social networking.Students  neglect  their  studies 

by  spending  time  on  social networking  websites  rather  than studying or interacting with people in person.

• Getting  too  involved  in  social media can  lead  to  an  addiction that inculcates bad habits.• The system generates a competition to  make  as  many  new  friends  as possible  and  the  so-called  “social quotient”  of  a  person  is  decided by how many friends they have and not on how good-natured and congenial the person really is.

Often, students who are not old  enough  to  accurately analyze  the  world  “like”  or comment  on  social  or  political issues, and this leads sometimes to serious controversies.
