Essay #1-Is Facebook Good? (Argumentative)

      In this era of modernization, social network sites have become a common thing for people of all ages. Children as young as 8 years of age have Facebook and Twitter accounts. Social network site like Facebook founded by Mark Zuckerberg is being used by almost everyone. What makes Facebook so special? There are certainly many advantages of having a Facebook account. That is why I strongly believe that Facebook is good.

      One of the advantages of Facebook is it is a channel for information and news from all around the world. For example, a Facebook user likes a page say The Star Online. So, every time there is news or information about something, it will appear in the user’s newsfeed. That way, one will be able to have an access to the information and news based on the page a person likes. Users of this useful social network have gained general knowledge and new insights by just using it.

      Besides that, Facebook can be used as a medium to send files and links. For instance, in completing assignments, one can send their documents and files in a group chat. Facebook has made students’ life easier by providing this application. Group discussions and meeting regarding assignments can be done via Facebook by using group chat where all of them can share files and carry out their discussion there. Time and energy can be saved by having the group discussion online.

Furthermore, this social network site has enabled users to get in touch with people from all around the world by just a click away. By just accepting other people’s friend request, you will be able to chat with him or her. You can also express your feelings and emotion by posting your status. For example, if you want to express your gratitude for all those who have wished you happy birthday, you can post it in your status. That is why, you do not need to call and tell them but rather just post it. Therefore, you will not have to spend your money for calling them.

      To sum it up, I strongly believe that Facebook has many advantages and is good for everyone. However some may say that it brings more harm than good but having a Facebook account has really made our lives easier and more interesting.
