If I Gave Up Social Media

Fokardi 11-A

Hunting has always been a part of human life. Humans, like all beings, needed the energy and resources they received from the outside world through gathering, growing and hunting. As for hunting, everything was basic and clear, people hunted for: food, warm skin. But gradually the situation changed in addition to hunting for food: status and body parts also added status. People realized that to show their power, you can not only own large tracts of land, but also have a personal right to hunt. Thus, hunting is attached to the nobility as a way to show their bravery by killing wild beasts or to show their wealth, because hunting was not a cheap thing. However, this is no longer the norm, because for the first time in thousands of years, humanity can soberly say that hunting wild animals is unjustified cruelty, because it is done not for food or personal safety, but for pleasure. Experts have also been sounding the alarm for a long time, because hunting causes irreparable damage to nature. Animals are killed when they hunt: the sick and the elderly thereby making a natural selection. However, people usually kill the healthiest because whole species are disappearing and some have already disappeared. In conclusion, hunting is not a sport, it is a common way to satisfy your ego. And the sooner humanity understands this, the better.

In modern world, part of our day is taken away by the phone. There we watch movies, TV series, play games, follow people and news, communicate with friends. It's hard for me to imagine that I give up social networks.

  Firstly, social networks are primarily for me a way to communicate with people who are far away. Secondly, I constantly need to know what is happening in the world, and social networks simplify the task, because you can simultaneously follow different media. It's also quite easy to find the same life hacks or interesting ideas there.

  But there are disadvantages as for example: social networks take a lot of time. You often hang out in correspondence or just scroll through the page in an attempt to find something interesting and useful, it is very insulting to waste your time so stupidly.

  If I stopped using social networks, I would hardly miss them, because they can easily be replaced by something else. You can find the same information on Google or YouTube and communicate with your friends in messengers. It seems to me that I can live without social networks for a long time if I find a good and interesting alternative to such a common pastime. Lately, I spent a maximum of 2 hours a day on Instagram, there is neither the desire nor the interest that there was before the war.

  Now I try to devote more time to my family and the real things than to the virtual world. I hope that everything will be fine and I will find for myself that favorite thing that will be useful and interesting to me.

                                                               If I gave up the social network, I would have a lot of time to study and do my hobbies and will strain my eyes less, but I also want to sit in social networks because it is very interesting and informative. If I finish sitting on social networks, I will miss a message from my close friends and relatives and interesting videos I think that not very long for a maximum of two or three days because you can't do without a social network in our world, you need to communicate somehow if your friend is somewhere far away. You can also develop in social networks, these are also advantages

The life of modern youth is closely connected with social networks. I am no exception. I spend a lot of time on social networks every day. Sometimes I turn the page aimlessly, but not always.

If I gave up social networks like Telegram or Instagram, I wouldn’t be able to communicate with a large number of people, read news from reliable sources, cheer myself up with funny pictures and videos, etc.

Also, I use social media (for example, Telegram) for work. Social media don’t interfere with my normal life and they're not an obstacle to live communication, so I do not see the need to completely abandon them.

Life without social networks

Today, I spend at least 3 hours a day on social networks, on weekends there are more. I would like to spend less time on Instagram and Tik Tok and see friends and family more often.

It is also known that a person who sits all the time on social networks degrades. It seems to me that if there was no Instagram, people would spend more time reading books and self-development. But if there were no social networks, we would not be able to find new acquaintances, especially to find a friend from another country.

If I give up Instagram, I will miss the most funny videos and pictures that have always improved my mood. Also the lessons of teachers who help children prepare for external evaluation for free. Social networks are already a part of my life, so I would not be able to give them up forever, but I would like to take a break from them for a few days every week and spend that time usefully.

Of course, if I stop using social networks, then there will be many advantages to this: I will have more free time to concentrate on work, fewer people will bother me with their "humble opinion".

But there are also disadvantages. I will not be able to communicate online with friends, learn the news and follow stars.

Most of all, I will miss my friends, their stories on social networks, maybe the stories of some famous people. Least of all I will miss annoying people, that hype on the net and some political issues.

To be honest, I will be able to escape from the current situation if I use less social media or quit them at all.

If I gave up social media, it would be harder for me to follow the news. Especially now when many people are following the news.

If I gave up social media, I wouldn't be able to chat with friends who live in other cities or countries. Most friends now live in another city or country, but through social media we keep in touch.

The ophthalmologist told me that I should reduce the amount of phone use. If I gave up social media, my eyesight would stop falling.

I don't like spam, so if I gave up social media, the amount of spam would decrease.

   If i gave up social media i would spend my free time on more useful things. Probably my marks in school will increase, which is good.

   On the other hand, i won't be able to chat with my friends and read news from companies i follow.

   I think advantages of leaving social media outweight. I'm sure i can live without it for a long time.
