Issue paper: Is Facebook a tool of social communication or a platform for personal feeling?
The online social
networking service, Facebook, is so popular with people all over the world.
According to statistics, the user of Facebook has now over one billion, which
is relevant to the third largest country in the world. Every moment, we can
easily track our friends by their updates or photos they are tagged in. And we
can also send private messages within few seconds. But these instant
information reveal the problem of privacy. Even if you don’t want to share
about yourself, your friends can tagged you in his/hers updates to preserve as
diary.
I believe that many people have such
experience when you have to contact with the strangers. You will search the
name on Facebook and sometimes even check the photos to see what the stranger
looks like. Such act like that may cause the inner pressure toward certain
people and invading their privacy. Although you can hind some of the personal
information, Facebook may possibly disclose them if you don’t pay attention to
check the setup of your profile page.
As you using Facebook to share yourself,
you can’t guarantee other person’s thought, and whether they really care or
just trying to exploit from you. Considering the fact that Facebook is now a
listed company, it is inevitable for people to think if their personal likes
and dislikes were sold to others for advertising data. Some applications are even
found accessing the user’s data when users are off-line. Sharing yourself is
not as simple as before. This act might make you like an open book, which is
easy to predict and control.
Yes,
Facebook do offer a lot of convenience for people to contact each other. But we
shouldn't regard it as a platform to share personal feelings. Once we have the
possibility getting harm by our unconscious disclosure, it would be better if
we don’t use Facebook too often and share too many information.
The examples you choose as well as your description are quite vivid and interesting. I have encountered both cases in my Facebook experience. For your article, I think if you put such as moreover or furthermore in your beginning sentence, your two example will have much closer tide. Then your thesis may go stronger.
