Essay theme: Decreased interest in reading among adolescents.
We are living in the age of social networks; where we spend hours and hours observing feeds, photos and videos of the most varied people, which, many of us do not know. Not only has this become an addiction in our society, it has replaced hobbies and customs that are very important for our development. In addition, the prominence of social networks has caused a major problem: the decrease in reading among young people.
The practice of reading is extremely important in our life. That's because it teaches us to argue, to write, to communicate and to reason. These are essential elements in adult life, which facilitate the activities of many people, opening up great, relevant and promising opportunities. In addition, reading stimulates imagination and problem solving, which is very important, as an active and quick mind manages to circumvent countless situations of stress and is dominant in the world in which we live.
Social networks, on the other hand, do not have these capabilities. We cannot deny that they are entertainment, but it is not constructive entertainment, but addictive.
Young people today have been spending their time watching social media feeds for hours and hours, leaving reading and other more progressive habits out of space on their schedules.
Therefore, we can say that young people today have a less impacting pattern of reasoning and intellectuality, due to modern customs and the abandonment of old, more progressive habits.
