The argument " Social Networks don't bring us closer together as we now talk through computer screens rather than to each other." has a strong argument on both of it's sides. Some people may believe that Social Networks bring us closer, but some may believe the opposite.
People may disagree this statement as Social Media could be used for people who may not be able to talk face to face because they live to far away from each other, or for people who may have problems with speech, this could be a way of talking to one another. It has brought many people together and has formed tonnes of online friendships and relationships, which could've led to meeting in person and being able to have a real bond with the person. Another way Social Media brings us together is by using it to organize a party, or event. Whether that's a charity fundraiser, a birthday party, or even just a get together with some friends and family. These are all ways that Social Media brings us together.
However, on the other hand, some people may agree/believe this statement. Some of these reasons being that we talk on Social Media's to people, but when it comes to conversing face to face many people are shy, don't know what to say, and let's be plain honest, it's awkward. Social Media's are used to boost our Social Skills, but that doesn't just mean the internet. Our Social Skill's include reality. But in some ways Social Media decreases Social Skills. Another way that Social Media don't bring us closer together is because of how some people may take chatting behind a phone or computer disrespectful. This may be because if your sat a table across to that person, they may think you don't actually want to talk to them in person. So your texting them instead.
I agree with Leah about that talking behind a screen could be seen disrespectful yes, but I also agree with when Leah said we can use Social Media to chat about the latest gossip also.
In my opinion I don't agree with the statement. This is because from personal experience I know Social Media brings us closer together from meeting new people at events, or seeing someone I didn't know I could be such good friends with, bringing us closer together. I believe that the Social Media has brought me closer to many people and has also done the same for many people around the world.
