, QUESTION 1
Title: The Influence of Social Media on Personal Connections: Disagreeing with the
Social Statement


Introduction:
The cartoon depicted in Image A presents a social statement about the impact of social
media on personal connections. The accompanying tweet reinforces this idea, suggesting
that social media has replaced genuine human interactions. However, I respectfully
disagree with the social statement made by the cartoonist and the tweet. While social
media has undoubtedly reshaped the way we communicate, it has not completely replaced
authentic personal connections. In this essay, I will present three examples to support my
position, drawing upon the cartoon, personal experiences, and references from the
provided sources.


I. Maintaining Existing Relationships:
Contrary to the social statement, social media platforms offer valuable tools for maintaining
and strengthening existing relationships. With the click of a button, we can connect with
friends and family, regardless of geographical distance. Through platforms like Facebook,
Instagram, or WhatsApp, we can share updates, photos, and messages, bridging the
physical gap between loved ones. Social media enables us to stay connected and
engaged in each other's lives, fostering meaningful relationships that would otherwise be
difficult to maintain.


The article from Psychology Today (reference link 1) highlights the importance of social
media in sustaining relationships, stating that it allows individuals to "maintain social
connections that would otherwise be lost or difficult to maintain due to geographical or
logistical barriers."


II. Expanding Social Networks:
Social media platforms offer opportunities to expand our social networks and connect with
like-minded individuals who share our interests and passions. Online communities
centered around hobbies, professions, or causes enable individuals to find support,
knowledge, and camaraderie. For instance, platforms like LinkedIn provide a space for
professional networking, connecting individuals with potential mentors, collaborators, or
job opportunities.


Additionally, social media allows individuals to engage in discussions and debates on
various topics, exposing them to diverse perspectives and expanding their understanding
