Why I think Facebook is good!

Almost everyone I know has a Facebook account. And the one's who don't are probably to be thought of as out-dated. Everybody would say, why don't you have one? Are you serious?

Although Facebook has a lot of disadvantages, and I think I don't have to mention them, there are many advantages, in mu opinion. Facebook was first created to connect friends and people you know, and to in touch we them. And this is one of the advantages of Facebook. As we live hectic lives nowadays, we can't keep up with our friends on a daily basis. But with the help of Facebook, we are able to see their daily activities, through photos, status updates, and check ins... In addition, it is a new tool to spread awareness. Media has always been considered to be a powerful tool for spreading awareness. And nowadays Facebook is one of the most powerful medias over the internet. You can raise awareness about anything you want. You can see the updates about what is going around in your country, especially if you are someone like me who does not watch the 8 o'clock news, or any kind of news as a matter of fact. I know about the Article 522(post posted previously here), through Facebook, and not the news. In short, Article 522 exonerates the rapist of his crime if he marries the victim. And this has caught my eyes, and I am one of the people who want to become active in spreading such type of awareness. It is also a way of advertising. You can create a page and advertise your business, store, organization, brand, band, almost anything...

Facebook is a good way to keep up to date with the society, but people have to use it in moderation. Let extremes meet. Don't over use Facebook so that you make a priority, and don't be anti-Facebook because it might cause a distraction from your priorities. Do everything in moderation!
