This document discusses carrying out primary and secondary research to understand the positive and negative effects of social media. It defines primary research as collecting new data through surveys or interviews, and secondary research as gathering existing data from sources like the internet, newspapers or reports. The document encourages conducting a primary survey with yes/no questions to analyze the effects of social media, and doing secondary research online to find information and examples of both positive and negative social media impacts while maintaining a sources table.
