Hello,

When comparing anti-social behavior and social media, we must ask ourselves, does social networking sites create anti-social behavior?

This article by Blake Deppe is a great in-depth analysis of the answer to this question and concepts surrounding it. The article tries to understand the negative and positive aspects to social media's effect on our behavior.

Why should you spend the 3 minutes and 43 seconds to read this? 

It is extremely important to understand the certain effects social media is having on us because whether we accept it or not, social media has wedged its way into our lives, and it's here to stay. The better we understand this virtual machine, the better we can control it instead of it controlling us. This article is just a warm up of this better understanding and is intended to get you to start thinking of concepts surrounding antisocial behavior and social media.

Quotables from the article:

- "While nobody can deny that [sites like] Facebook have altered the landscape of social interaction, particularly among young people," he said, "We are just now starting to see solid psychological research demonstrating both the positives and the negatives."

- "there are also a number of positive aspects to the social media experience overall. One was his surprising observation that young people can gain "virtual empathy," which can then be carried over into real life. He added Facebook and similar networks could also be beneficial tools for those who are introverted or nervous, allowing them to connect with people and achieve a sense of community. Furthermore, if utilized properly, social networks can be used as teaching tools."
