Ladies and gentlemen, today we are here to discuss the topic of the media on creativity and

self-esteem of a person. Our bench is assigned about the dis-advantages of this topic.
Social media is a blessing for marketers and business owners. For this reason,
many brands utilize social media to market their products and services to a
global audience. However, a side effect of social media is that it sometimes has a
negative effect on creativity. You’ve probably heard a lot about social media and
mental health, but did you know that there are negative effects of social media on
creativity? Because of social media, we have lost our creativity because we only
rely on social media which is that we just imitate others. Also because of social
media, our work can be judged because it is not our own work. We tend to forget
that social media also has a dark side. Not only do social platforms like Facebook
and Twitter suck your time away, but they could also stifle your creativity. We live
in a world of technology filled with Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest,
Instagram, YouTube, and all these other social media platforms. We can often be
found on our phones, tablets, or computers posting pictures and updates or
checking to see what everyone else has been up to. There are a lot of positives
about using social media. For example, it is easier to keep in touch with people and
know what is going on in their lives. It is also a great way for world news to travel.
Unfortunately, social media can come along with a negative impact on self-esteem.
We know we love to post pictures on social media but because of social media we
get bad feedback. It can cause cyberbullying because today's age is full of
judgmental people. It also makes us less confident to participate in social media.
Having bad feelings about yourself can lead to an increase in anxiety and
depression. This can cause self-isolation and poor quality of life. It may also
increase the risk of self-harming behaviors such as cutting, substance misuse, and
suicide. Social media can often tap into our insecurities.
Creativity Argument

1. Too much social media posting can lower the quality of your work.

There’s that adage that goes, “too much of a good thing is a bad thing.”  Well, it turns
out that’s true for social media as well. It’s all too easy to get sucked into the trap of
posting on social media about your newest masterpieces, or how amazing things are
going, or how many followers you have. While this is all well and good, it may be costing
you your focus, your energy, and even your creativity. 

2. Those who are overly exposed to social may experience heightened levels of
perceived competition.

No matter how much you tell yourself that you’re at the top of your game, you’re going
to feel a little uncomfortable when you find out that you’re competing with hundreds
(even thousands!) of creatives who are like you. You see, that’s the thing with social
media. They are made to bring together people who have similar interests, skillsets,
jobs, etc., making it easier for them to engage with each other. But when you’re too
exposed to people who are “better” than you, you may start to question your skills and
capacity. 

3. You may need to deal with inaccuracies or false information when using
social media.

Due to the sheer volume of content that gets uploaded daily, it can be challenging for
social media platforms to practice “quality control.” As a result, information spreads
quickly, including those that are inaccurate or false. 

We’ve all heard of fake news that makes the rounds on social media, despite
questionable sources and unverified data — and sometimes, you may have to deal with
this yourself. 

4. The social world could put you at risk of information overload sooner than
you think

With the vast amount of content being shared across social networks, we’re bound to
see “information overload” at some point. There are shiny things everywhere — and it’s
pretty difficult to catch up. It takes time and energy to decide whether something is
worth our attention or not.

And if you’re not careful, you might end up wasting precious time and energy deciding
which content to consume. You might even end up consuming too much that could do
too little for you. 
We all know that it’s impossible to see every single thing posted online – even if you
skip meals and sleep. So be smart about the things you read and watch — so you get
the most out of your creative energy and time. 

5.     You run the risk of having your work copied or used without your consent.

It’s so easy to share content on social media; however, it’s also easy for anybody to
copy and “steal” content.

When you put out your work online for everybody to see — you embrace some risks,
and that includes the possibility of having your works copied or used without
permission. 

Even though there are intellectual property rights and other laws in place to protect
creators, like you and me, it’s still always a great idea to protect your work, just in case.

6.     You could be wasting more time than you think.

It’s easy to get distracted when online content clamors for your attention – day in and
day out. When you have socials, the distractions get amplified at least two or three
times. 

If you’re not careful, you might fall into a rabbit hole, constantly searching and
mindlessly scrolling for random content that you’re not even sure you TRULY need. 

Not convinced? 

How many times do you check your Facebook or Instagram feed in a day? And how
long does each “check” take? 

If you spend just a few minutes on socials, then good for you! 

But if you don’t, then you probably need to change things up. 

Being online multiple times a day could impact our creativity because here’s the thing:
social media are notorious time-wasters. If you’re not careful, you might end up wasting
precious time on unnecessary information. 

7.     Social media entices people to make social comparisons.

Sometimes, being on social can lead to unnecessary comparisons. 

You probably have a friend or two (or a whole army of them) who like to post about their
latest achievements, their latest vacations, and even their purchases. Even if they don’t
mean to “brag,” sometimes, these kinds of posts could make others feel insecure, even
envious of what they currently have. 

8.     Our social media use can sometimes disconnect us from reality.

Although social media has given us the “power” to stay connected across long
distances, it has also affected how we communicate with each other in real life. 

We’ve all heard about family and friends coming together in one place, only to be
distracted by their mobile phones. This creates an atmosphere of disconnection, which
undermines authentic communication. 

 9.  We may experience detrimental physical and mental health repercussions due to
our social media use.

Since social media takes up so much of our time, we usually forget to take care of
ourselves. 

Because of mindlessly scrolling on social for hours, many of us lose track of time, stay
up late, don’t bother to exercise, and even settle for “instant” and unhealthy
foods. Some people even get so addicted to being online that they need external help
and “interventions.” Indeed, excessive use of social media can affect our health, both
physically and mentally. 
Self Esteem Argument

I often hear from people, both clients and friends, that they feel sad and
depressed when looking through their social media news feeds. These platforms
have created a way to compare yourself to others in a way that we never had
before.

Most of the time, people are posting pictures and statuses of the fun things they
are doing, about their romantic relationships, developments in their careers, etc. If
you feel that something is lacking in your life, seeing other people’s
accomplishments can be very difficult. If you are particularly struggling with
something, seeing someone’s success in that area can be especially hard. As you
are scrolling through your news feed and it is one post after the next of all these
exciting things, it is easy to start feeling bad about yourself.

Evaluating our own posts can also create another point of stress. How many times
have you posted something and worried, ‘What if no one likes it or comments?’ A
lot of time can be spent thinking about what to post and how. Questions we can
often ask are: ‘Will this look stupid?’, ‘Will people make fun of me?’ and, ‘Is this
picture posting worthy?’  You can get into comparing and ask yourself: ‘Why did
their post get so many more likes than mine?’ People compare how many birthday
greetings they got, how many friends they have, how many people post to their
page or tag them in a post. A friend posts on another friend’s wall and you wonder
‘Why didn’t they tag me?’ or ‘Why didn’t they post that on my wall?’ So much time
and energy is spent on concern regarding these things and can lead
to anxiety and depression.
Closing Statement:

In conclusion: There is always dis-adavantages in the opposite side of Media. The

drawbacks of social networking include the potential for time wastage, addiction,
and negative life comparisons. It can also lead to drama and conflict and make it
simple for others to follow or bother you. Social media can potentially put your
personal information at risk if you're careless with privacy settings. Social media is
a potent instrument that may be utilized for good or bad, in general. Before
jumping in wholeheartedly, it's critical to be informed of any potential hazards and
drawbacks. We will examine the benefits and drawbacks of media and how they
affect our society in this post. The harmful effects that media can have on our
physical and emotional health are yet another drawback. Anxiety, despair, and
addiction can develop as a result of excessive media exposure. It may also make us
less sensitive to cruelty, pain, and violence. Additionally, the media may harm our
relationships by isolating us from face-to-face contact. Just like Miss Universe 2018
Catriona Gray have said `All is good but in moderation` to elaborate that anything
that is misuse and abused have negative impact.
