SOCIAL MEDIA IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY


  
For sure one day I was about to meet theft by some one who hacked WhatsApp one of my friends ,and he asked me to come on help.This guy told me that he is hospitalized and I didn't' take time to thing about what he was telling because I could not realize what happened to my friend's WhatsApp.At the point of delivering money,I remembered what happened to another friend of mine.So I immediately called the number but listening to what he was saying on the Phone, I advised myself not to give him money.So from that day, I decided not to believe in any person asking me money on the phone however he asked.So what I did in return was to advice my all my friends and relations. @ Danny


I started using social media at a young age and my story would impact many basing on the development I have achieved through social media. One things that I highly recommend is using social media with a purpose of developing yourself and someone else. Cyberpunk and security are at work making sure we are not hacked but still we are simply because we don’t take safety precautions the right way. While using social media we should take into consideration our privacy means a lot and we have to protect it. For example, don’t subscribe to every website, or blogs. That way we will be safe. @ Ronald
i met a financial scam on social medias. Someone told me that he has a project where you invest 20k rwf and receive 50% of your investment. I did it but i didn't receive even 1k. So, this taught me that we have to pay attention on what we see, what we hear and what we are told on social medias. We must first know if they are real. On my behalf, i would like to tell everyone that social medias has a great impact on our lives either good or bad but we are the first ones to teach ourselves and others how to use them. @Evelyne

Eventhough it's not that easy, everyone even the adults have to understand life as race, not with anyone but with yourself trying to be better than who we were yesterday, this will help focus on ourselves more, and will reduce the anxiety and the other consequences of social media as shown @Blandine

Actually, it's not bad to use social medias. The problem is how we use them, and how we relate what we get from them and our lives! Someone said that comparison is the thief of happiness! So, we don't have to compare our lives with that of others that we see on social medias. we must use them in right way! By just learn from them rather than use them to expose our privacies, spreading fake news, posting useless things, or being depressed because of what we see .....etc. @Evelyne



Self discipline is the only way out. The youth should be taught and enforced to have self discipline. This is because social media is so needful once used properly but again destructive. So they must set measures for them and make time for other things for personal development. @Gihango



There is a common belief that “everything has both advantages and disadvantages”. Well, social media also has advantages and disadvantages to the user. Everyone can tell accordingly. Today, we are going to have a look at what people’s experience on social media, both negative and positive impact of social media in their lives, as they use it in their daily life and, how we can mitigate the negative ones for the best of our community members. Therefore as usual, data was collected by H2H COMMUNITY SHAPING purposely for possible applicable solutions of which above you read further more.

By considering people’s ideas, testimonies, and their online experience with social medias, we can conclude that, social media has both positive and negative impact on the community. it offers a platform for people to connect with their friends and stay in touch and have fun. It also allows people share contents to their friends, and all followers on their social medias. Moreover, many people use social media in business as a platform to connect with new customers and, also make the existing ones meet their products and know the new products on the market. Other people, plan events using social media and do conferences. Social medias in general, can be necessary evil simply because, they are important in our daily life but, also come with negative impact  to the community.

Some people share fake news and inaccurate information without any source. Others use social media as a way to psychological and emotional abuse other people, especially their peers through memes, images, videos and texts. Furthermore, now days theft on social media is increasing. All those affect the community negatively. Therefore, let’s have a look at some social media's negative impact on the community and how we can mitigate them for the common good of you and me. 

FAKE NEWS

Not all the news on social medias are true and worthy to be trusted. Some people spread information on different social medias like Facebook, whatsApp, Instagram and tweeter among others. they either use memes, videos, images and texts. Some spread this kind of fake information yet, they don’t know the source of information. Others do that willingly for their interests. But all those don’t matter what matters now is to know how to mitigate the effects of fake news. Therefore, let’s be careful and watchful over what we see on social medias. We have to analyze everything which is: the source of information, its relevance and its purpose.  

CYBER BULLING

Some people use online bulling especially for teens, to hurt other people’s emotions and harass them, which results into psychological violence. you will also find some memes and videos. Therefore, you are required not to think about it much. stay calm and free yourself from being hurt by anyone else,  though its not easy but all starts with the mind so, make it a mindset not to be hurt by anyone. Furthermore, have a look at other people's ideas on the link above and have a look at other people's blog on the link below.

Rape

Image
  Rape as known and heard by many, has been taking greater steps as years goes by and victims keep on increasing whereby, men also are getting raped as we speak now.  Rape being unlawful sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration of the vagina, anus, of another person, with or without force, by a sex organ, other body part, or foreign object, without the consent of the victim has many despicable effects that even made many of the victims commit suicide. Why rape in the first place? What's influencing rapists?  We have to know that rape didn't start in this generation rather it's been happening for some many centuries only that these days it's recognized and in the past years women had no other option but to give in since culture at times had a hand in it whereby men forced their wives to sleep with them or young girls but it wasn't considered as rape. Due to the fact that men had great power over women and they could do anything with them, meaning their righ...

RELATIONSHIP AND CHOICES

Image
  Relationship and choices Relationships as we all know are many. some are blood relationships others are made by choice. Well first of all, what is relationship itself? Relationship is the way two or more people are connected or related. As for choice, one can refer it to as decision or rather an option made independently. To relate the both, some of us choose to be in a relationship with different people or someone except those related by blood. In this life we need people in our lives besides our own family. And those people can be friends or partners, workmates and many more. Well those people don't come just like that it needs one to go out and interact with the world, meet people and therefore make friends or fall in love. As we were saying earlier, all these kinds of relationships are made by choice. sometimes people say destiny is involved though I can't deny but, still you have to have a hand in it. All of us have a right to choose who we get into a relationship with. ...

SELF DEPENDENCY AND COOPERATION AS THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DESTINIES AND FUTURE FOR AFRICAN YOUTHS.

SELF DEPENDENCY AND COOPERATION AS THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DESTINIES AND FUTURE FOR AFRICAN YOUTHS . Have you ever wondered how far you can go if you walk with others? As they say" you can go faster if you walk alone but you can go further if you walk with others. This is what today's youth need so as to be self dependent especially the African youth. To cooperate and be able to satisfy their own needs. Here when we talk of cooperation we mean the art of working together, be it two or more people so as to achieve a common goal, and this of course, can help the African youth be self dependent or rather, be able to satisfy their own needs as the new African generation, without depending on aid. It might take long for everyone to understand it or get used to it but, slowly by slowly it can work. When people put together their ideas and build them, in the long run they achieve bigger things which is beneficial to everyone. Well it's true that people can also come together for no...
