IELTS Writing 2 - Agree and Disagree

-

Questions:

Some people believe that technology has made man more social. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?


Answer:

There is a notion believe that technology has created people to be more social. Even though it has been proven that the technology such as social media has connected millions of people online, I personally believe that social media contributes loneliness and mental health to its users.

To begin with, the advance of information and technology has eased the communication. It connects people 24 hours regardless of distance and geographical borders. Not only finding new friends but also it reconnect old friends, and through its group feature, it facilitate discussion among the community.

However, there are some reasons why I believe the negative impact of social media surpass the benefit it offers. Firstly, there are various studies uncover the contribution of social media to loneliness. As people spend more time on screen, the time for meeting or talking directly has significantly reduced. Even at desk where usually people talking each other has been replaced by the business of replying messages or simply playing games or scrolling social media feed.

In addition, constant and easy access of communication is a fertile ground of bullying, scam, or fraud that also affect mental health of its users. This is especially vulnerable for children who prone to bullying and elderly who has a weaker digital literacy that can be manipulated easily by the cheater.

Furthermore, there is a concerned of data privacy that might be leaked or hijacked. Prime example is when one institution has stolen the information of facebook to favor politician to win in the United States election.

In conclusion, social media has eased the communication of people. However, if used excessively, there are plenty of negative impacts that can harm the users.
