Is social media a barrier to meaningful communication? Is it a shallow means of communicating?
To speak the truth, I do not think social media is a barrier to meaningful communication. Social media sometime helps individuals express themselves in their unique way. This allows us to get a taste of everyones personality. Some individuals tend to be more expressive through social media, hence establishing profound means of communication. Through pictures that individuals post or tweets that they tweet, one can identify the message that is being presented or even simple characteristics of that person. Social media also allows individuals to share common interests and thoughts. People who are active on social media can connect to each other much more faster because they are able to identify their similar interests. In addition, individuals are given the opportunity to step away from their timid side and present what's truly on their mind. It is not a shallow means of communicating because individuals get pretty deep and passionate about what they share on social media. This passion usually spills on to others and potentially causing a movement. I do believe that behind a screen, one would feel more comfortable to express their thoughts because there is less room to be judged. However, social media is not a barrier to meaningful communication because it allows for an individual to bring out what is deeply hidden within themselves.
