Question

Despite its potential benefits, there are a number of challenges associated with social media for training and development. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Social media has provided numerous benefits in communication, access to information and research needed for training and development. The merits however, do not come without a number of demerits which could have lasting effects on self image as well as thought patterns.

Social media has an increasing culture of cyber bullying which includes body shaming, talking down opinions which could affect a social media user's self esteem and could make such individual more shy and think less of his/her self image.

Not all content on social media is healthy. Some contents for example, contents containing a lot of nudity could affect the thought patterns formed during development, posing futuristic negative influences on the mindset and behavior.

Social media as well provides a virtual audience which when relied upon for a long time could promote isolation, displacing the importance of physical relationships needed in growth and development
