I believe social media has two sides to it. In one way, it allows us to get easier and quicker access to information but at the same time, it allows the spread of misinformation in an easier way. The same way it can help us connect to people that better understand us, it can also make us compare ourselves and seek for a model perfection that is unreasonable to seek but we do so because of how are standards are shaped by social media.

I believe that social media certainly shapes how we see the world, the people around us and ourselves

I think that Social Media is a big part of our life now. Personally speaking, I use social media to connect with my friends who are not in Japan and my family. I believe it is a form of entertainment and we could use it to spare some time. However, nowadays, I feel that there are many people who are addicted to the social media and some even think that what they have on social media is the reality. They ignore to interact and have a true relationship in the real life. Social media was supposed to be an entertainment although it is changing to a tool to measure friendship, love, popularity just by the number of followers or likes. It is becoming the "real world" for the people.

Social media is a huge part of our lives. Through Social Media, we can communicate with a lot of people whenever and wherever we are and makes it possible to get a lot of information and keep in contact with friends. It helps our lives a lot and makes it convenient. However, because of its convenience, we tend to be addicted, and sometimes we are wrongly informed. Also, some of us become hesitant to meet people face-to-face because they feel comfortable communicating through text. In this way, while social media makes our lives better, it also reduces our ability to communicate or judge.

Social Media has become a significant role in daily life, it is true that people can use social media to make their lives more convenient. For example, people can communicate with friends online and receive news from all over the world. Many people share their lives and establish friendships through tweets, Instagram and other social media.
On the another hand, social media also impacts people's thoughts and standpoints. Some people who haven't built up their own thinking are easily affected by social media, including extreme information. Actually, governments use social media to lead or control citizens' thoughts while people can't realize that. As a result, social media has become a tool for rulers to impact their people.

Due to the improvement of social media and mobile phones, we have more time to watch media. As a result, they are often exposed to information from the media, and sometime they may be forced to accept even the wrong information. Therefore, I feel that people's judgments about informations have become a little dull. In addition, because people can communicate with various people using social media, people can become more open, and even people who are not good at communicating directly can actively communicate, so I think that a different humanity appears in the media than usual.

Social media can affect ones perception because people compare themselves to others people posts or pictures. It can be useful to communicate with friend overseas but since its easier to talk through text there a less people talking face-to-face. Which helps people develop themselves.

I think social media enables us to communicate with people living in far away from where we are. It is ideal even you stayed home, unless you have access to the internet and social media such as Instagram or Facebook so on,  you can expand your relationship by connecting the world. That is the good way for social media.
Meanwhile, it is easy to misunderstand who the person is through the posts. We post daily life on the social media, but it is only the moment that we want to share myself in good way. Thus, what we see or understand from the posts is only the person's positive way. Computer enables us to communicate with a lot of people easily. On the other side, we can make only shallow relation with others. that is the negative way to use Social media.

It is not the social media itself but rather how we are engaging with them is why issues surrounding social media is getting bigger everyday. We often create a different or better versions of ourselves on apps such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram because we are able to portrait how we want to be seen. This can be an issue because by doing so one could be putting themselves under a lot of pressure to meet with the "expectations" and "ideas" others may have.  However also at the same time the use of social media ca be used to positive things such as keeping in touch with those who are far away, or leaning new information everyday. In addition, these ability to connect and share has also helped bring people all around the world for issues such as global warming, police brutality, corrupt justice system, gender equality issues and LGBTQ+ rights issues to name some. Therefore it is not the tool that is an issue but how we decide to live with this technology.

I am not sure about how social medias play some important roles to our perception compare to other people because I do not do any social medias. However, I thought that social medias have important roles to our perception and lives because social medias, such as Instagram, Twitter, and so on are the good opportunities to understand what other people think or feel when we share about ourselves. In terms of the perception, other people's reaction is so important because other people have different perspectives, which we do not have.

The role of social media that plays in our perceptions as well as overall humanity is an interesting concept, because of how it rooted in our daily lives. From when we wake up in the morning until we fall back to sleep. Our thumb is constantly liking those pictures and typing away on those comment sections. Social Media has its shares of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The Good
- Communicating with friends and family
-Quick access to research and information.

The Bad
-Addiction and the fear of missing out the newest trends.
-Online vs Reality (distinguishing between the two)

The Ugly
- Beauty standards by influencers and or celebs
-Cyberbullying

Like everything in life, social media has its up and downs. It has become part of our life and we live with it everyday. It has helped overall in humanity to be able to communicate more effectively and bring more people closer than ever.

Social media has many benefits. We get to interact with friends and people with common interests. But it undoubtedly negatively affects a person's self-perception and mental health. This is caused by comparing ourselves to unrealistic images on social media of what we believe we should look like. We then lead to dissatisfaction with our appearance and self-perception.
Comparing ourselves to others on social media may have become an unintentional habit we might have picked up. However, it negatively affects our mental health.
What we see on social media isn't reality. Images can be edited and staged. We never know what's going on in the other person's life. The person who you think is happy with their body image and appearance may not be in reality. This is not only unhealthy, but it stalls with our progress in life.

I believe that social media has a great impact on our perception because it determines our sense of value both positively and negatively.
For example, Instagram posts by celebrities have created a beauty standard for many young people. They also feel like they are valued by the number of likes they get. As a result, there are many young people who suffer from mental health problems caused by social media.
On the other hand, social media allows us to interact with people we would not have interacted with if we had not used social media, such as people living abroad or people with specific interests. This helps us to recognize the diversity of values.

Social Media has become a huge part of our lives, especially for people in this generation. That being said, I believe social media has become a huge part of our perceptions and how we view everything around us, so it’s an important role in our lives. However, this has both positive and negative effects. The positive effect is how much closer and open minded people have become because of the content they see in the media from all over the world. We recognize diversity and more often than not, people would usually embrace the difference. The negative effect, on the other hand, is how there are people who do not accept diversity and have used the media as an opportunity to spread hate instead.

Social media is vey important to our lives. We can talk to friends and family anytime, anywhere. This gives us a sense of security and belonging. However, it is more misleading than a face-to-face conversation. Moreover, with the development of social media, our communication skills are declining. So, we should consider the strengths
and weaknesses of social media and use it with caution,

Social media plays both positive and negative roles in our humanity and perception. It allows us to keep in touch with old friends and family, and see what others around the world are up to. On the flip side, social media could cause us to be anxious, desperate for attention, and make us lack social skills. For example, posting a picture on instagram makes us anticipate the amount of likes, or comments and compliments we get, and this can lead to anxiousness. Also, people can settle, and feel too comfortable by only communicating with others online through social media, which can lead to lacking social skills while in person face to face.

I believe that social media is a part of the world we live in and not just the outlet where people can post things and have no consequences from it. For instance, a lot of news we consume are from media outlets such as formal broadcasting TV news on social media, Instagram, Facebook, and so on, and people support certain real issues in our society  or at least receive information on social media and support immensely depending on the severity of the issue, such as donation for charity group, or social movements, such as "Me too" movement.  Although I agree that the "real" world exists outside of the internet, I also feel that social media has become such a vital part of our lives to the point where pretty much everyone I know has a smartphone and spend most of their time consuming things on the screen. I am guilty of this behavior since I spend a lot of time using my smartphone and although I know that it is not reality and should get off from them, I am also addicted to the comfort and information that social media that can bring to my brain.

I think social media plays a significant role of communicating with many people especially this situation because we cannot see them easily currently. Moreover, what we have to be careful is different whether communicating face-to-face or through social media. For instance, a message can be interpreted both positively and negatively. In other words, even if the writer is just joking, the person who read the message can misunderstand that he dislikes the person.

I think social media plays a large role
in our perception of society and others around us. Social media has made itself a social norm for even the youngest generations. Communication is all done through social
media or other online sites. Communication used to be seeing people face to face and being able to express your thoughts or ideas to them directly. Now, people rather post something online or just send a friend a text instead of physical communication. The role social media plays can be both negative and positive. It is now easy to communicate or see someone far away, but now we do not have the same social skills. Physical confrontations has become more uncomfortable because of social media.

I think social media plays a perception on how you can communicate with people all over the world. Though Face-to-face interactions which are necessary for development of personalities, learning social skills and communication skills, have been removed from the lives of people, especially younger generations.
