Abstract

Social media has become the greatest source of news and is definitely changing the way people do things. It is used to interact, transact, communicate, promote businesses, source for media, conduct lessons in academics, and learn of different cultures. It is no doubt that social media has become a catalyst for so many things in the world. With this being said social media also has its negative side to it of which we can say is typically vice versa to what has been mentioned above. It is no doubt that with the advancement of technology, communication has become very easy. Gone are the days we would wait to a response to a letter that was sent weeks, days or months ago, as at now any dialogue happens within a split of a second with the coming of social media. Also with the advancement of technology (social media) it has brought about malicious activities such cyber-crimes, cyber bullying, money laundering and fake transactions. It is not new news, because people are unable to see who exactly is behind an electronic gadget it gives great chance to do whatever the user pleases thus doing anything that pleases them .This thesis seeks to provide a review of the current stand on the positive and negative impact of social media on the youths of Matero Community in Lusaka Province. Do the positive impacts of social media outweigh the negative impacts? Or maybe it’s a 50/50 situation. The research paper will give us an insight of what the residents of Matero thought.
