14. WE HAVE TAKEN MANY INTERVIEWS AND
HAVE LISTED THE PROS AND CONS OF
SOCIALIZING FROM THE ANSWERS THAT WE
HAVE GOT.
THE PROS AND THE CONS

15. THE PROS:-
LEARN HOW TO INTERACT WITH OTHERS
AND MAINTAIN A GOOD PUBLIC IDENTITY
THROUGH THEIR EXPOSURE TO ONLINE
SOCIALIZING.
LONG GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE DANGER
OF STRANGER INTERACTIONS BECAUSE
INTERNET SOCIALIZING ARE FOUND OUT TO
BE MOSTLY WITHIN ACQUAINTANCES AND
FRIENDS.

16. People feel that socializing help them to
communicate with their relatives living far away
from them.
Many users social media users use it to tell
everyone that where they are and what they
are doing
for example:-
If a person is enjoying at las vegas he or
she will post it on the socializing sites to
tell others.
If a person is attending a meeting with an
important personality he or she will post it
on the account of theirs for others to read
it.

17. THE CONS:-
People usually face cyber bullying,
unwanted communications, etc. due to
which even if they have an account they
do not prefer telling their identity or
giving their original name or do not tell
their genders.
People think that it does not give the
feeling of face to face interactions.
When people read other people saying
‘that they visited some places in the

18. holidays’ they feel bad that they could not
visit any place due to some circumstances.
Instead of social media bringing people closer
together, it essentially becomes an
environment the others get left out.

AND GIRLS.

1] Boys and girls both like to use their phones and the internet to have
a conversation with their friends who now live far away or those with
whom they hardly meet . ( The purpose of using the phones or
internet is the same.) Also that boys and girls use the social

use for school purposes.)
