Do these social networking sites cause more harm than good? We use these sites and never think twice about the harm that these sites may cause, but do these sites cause us more harm than good? These sites can actually cause depression for many people. (Associated Press) These sites have caused some people to commit suicide and caused others to become depressed. These social networking sites have also become a target for college recruiting offices and evaluation tools for employers. (Fox Business) Therefore many people have not been admitted to the college of their choice or fired, partially because of their social networking pages. Anybody can view what you post on your profile pages. This means that the use of these sites as an evaluation tool is legal. Even though people use social networking sites to evaluate you, there are ways to avoid these effects and still enjoy these sites. Social networking sites are privileges for responsible people, so when using these sites we have to think consciously about what we share with others.(Fox News) These sites may cause more efficiency and other good benefits, but the use of these sites also should come with the use of personal responsibility to avoid bad effects.
