There is nothing in this world that is completely correct, accurate, and right for acceptance by everyone in this society. Therefore, the debate comes into action. Debate is an argument where students create their logic to prove their statements are correct. Debate improves the speaking ability of students. Every topic of discussion has two sides, one for the motion, and another against the motion. Students are required to stick to one side and fight for the same to prove themselves correct by thinking and putting unavoidable logic before the opponents.
Students can improve their English speaking ability by practicing more and more, so debate is the way to go. Students are forced to speak more to establish themselves right and the other side wrong by throwing statements with their logic. This is a type of argument which everyone wants to win by its human instincts. So, in this process, students speak more English sentences and there is a great opportunity for improvement.
Social media is such a platform where we all can stay connected to each other even though we are staying in different corners of the world.

Some have got a job outside of the state or country, and some have settled down in other places, so we can keep in contact with them emotionally like we used to do physically by just sharing some posts.
It not only helps students in the process of their education but also helps the teacher to stay updated with the current trends and syllabus.
We all witnessed the COVID-19 pandemic and we cannot deny the contribution of social media at that time. We all were restricted from moving out of our shelter to stop the contagious virus from spreading around the world and it was the social media that had let us continue our work and education, otherwise the world would have stopped. Now if we imagine life during COVID without online classes and online conferences then it would have been a real disaster. During that time the one and half years without social media could have taken us a hundred years back both economically and technically to that of our progress.

Nowadays artificial intelligence is also integrated into social media and it is taking the development to its apex. No one can say, in the coming days, where we are going to reach, therefore it is inevitable to say that social media is a blessing for mankind.
We know that there are some prejudices to disfavor these sides along with so many glorious contributions that cannot be paid off. So we have to accept those few limitations to enjoy the vast praise of glorious achievements. We need to learn to use this platform correctly and then we can always stay safe, as we know fire is the greatest invention of all time, without fire, nothing can be done, on the other hand, if fire is utilized in the wrong way then it can burn everything which comes its way.
Users are connected to it most of the time of the day like lice in the human body which feeds on us so gradually that it even stays unnoticed by us.

Different types of pictures and videos are available on social media, which distracts the user's attention. Users end up watching such things, that they are not intended to watch but they are made to watch during most of their precious time. The addictions to interaction on social media and the games on social media have been ruining the careers of kids, teenagers, and youth. The users are influenced by different unsocial, uncivilized, and unhealthy practices. We know that teenagers are always fascinated by glitters that shine but are not genuine, so they are attracted by the fake and show-off way of living.
Rumors spread faster than facts and people believe more in rumors than the original news because rumors are always spicy. Some users always doubt to believe any news including the reality because they have been cheated by fake news many times before, so now they fear to trust any news across social media.

We see quite often that deepfake cases have been increasing in numbers for the last few years, where photos of the user's gallery are captured from the social media account and those are melded into nude videos to blackmail the users.
Public solicitation and pimping are very common these days although it is illegal but still flurries in lips and bounces and social media is the best platform to reach the demand for it but the disaster is that it has taken the youth down to the barrel. The compulsion of marriage has been diminishing gradually day by day as biological needs can be fulfilled easily by the contact informed openly across this platform.
Social media eliminates job opportunities as it along with artificial intelligence does the tasks of thousands of workforces by itself. We were living our lives in a much better way before the introduction of social media therefore it is inevitable to say that social media is the curse of mankind.
