I think that drawing and painting is a better form of self expression.
In the past, photography is less popular since there is very little access to good equipments. These day people prefer photography since it is more convenient and saves time. However,drawing and painting is a better form of self expression since it allows creativity from what we experienced and the way we see things from our human vision is differently from what photography could captures.

I would say that it is debatable. In the past, famous artists like Van Gogh who had gone mainstream only had the option of painting as a way to express their emotions. Using Van Gogh's case of suicide, conspiracies claim that Van Gogh painted his own suicide - which means that painting could have been his only form of therapy. As society advances, naturally the norms would lean towards the advanced - which is photography. It is easy, accessible, and emotions are easily readable through filters and editing.
However, if I had to take a stand from a first-person's point of view, I'd say that people nowadays do prefer photography due to accessibility. But, bare in mind that accessibility does not equal authenticity. When it comes to painting or drawing, your emotions are from scratch - whereas photographs express emotions from sceneries, infrastructure - what are the odds that someone hasn't taken a photo of the same exact scene to capture the same emotion?

-I disagree
- Even though social media may be a huge distraction in their studies and a problem in terms of teen mental health, we should not take social media away from them.
- Teens use social media as a way to keep in contact with their friends and keep updated with the world.
- For example China announced a daily time limit for social media users under 18. This led many teens feeling lonely and detach from the world
- Instead of banning social media, teens should practice active self control

In the past where technology wasn't as good, people used paintings as a form of self-expression but with technology becoming better and the era changing, the people nowadays have easy access to take photos instead of drawing which takes up a lot of time

people nowdays prefer photography over paintings as it is easier to capture moments at an instant as compared to painting. There are many benefits to photography such as convivence

I think that people nowadays prefer photography over painting/drawing as in the past, people did not have as much access to good photography equipment as it it was expensive. This led to them painting or drawing as it was more affordable. However in the current age, many people do have access to phones with good quality cameras, this means that it would be too time consuming for people in the present to draw or paint instead of just taking a pictures.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, as in the past, kids go out to play and do physical activities as social media was not common or not even a thing in households.
Now, as social media gets more common children just lie at home while scrolling on their phones to the point that most children have a sense of twisted humor.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree
In the past, teens only could find out about things that happened around the world by reading physical newspapers. Now, with the use of social media, teens can simply just scroll through their social media feeds to keep up with current affairs. Eg. mothership, straits times. The posts on social media are more appealing to read more about as they are already summarized and includes more pictures. Therefore I do not agree that teenagers should be banned from using social media as this allows them to be more engaged in the news.

no
-discover new things (e.g better understanding of themselves and discovering new hobbies )
- a place to socialize and make friends
Past : making friends are only limited in school
present : we can now make friends both online and offline

i disagree with teenagers being banned from social media.

1. social media is not an inherently toxic or negative space. it is a place for teenagers to make and communicate with friends, it is a place for people to recieve news, and a place to foster kindness and empathy, reducing different stigmas.

2. teenagers under 18 have been banned from using social media in texas unless they have parental permission. it feels that they are restricting the teenage mind from politics and identity. in my opinion, this would make teenagers mental health even worse, being unable to find support and help. in singapore, i feel that this problem is not as subjected onto teenagers. thus, i feel that teenagers shouldn't be banned frm social media

3. although some argue that social media could harm teenager's self image and mental health, it could also uplift and encourage them instead

# data[].attributes.body
my view about why people may prefer photography to painting or drawing as a form of self-expression is because photography is fast and simple as it only requires a single shot to be taken and the photo is done compared to painting and drawing which takes a long time and hardwork to be completed. It is also easier to just buy a simple camera instead of buying the many necessities that is required to draw or paint something that they want to express about themselves. Painting and drawing is also an old-fashioned and some countries may not be able to afford the materials either. Thus, this is why people may prefer photography to painting or drawing due to a simplicty and how easy and quick it is to just snap a picture.

# data[].attributes.body
People nowadays prefer photography as a form of self expression. I think so because many young people of this generation mainly make use of photography to express themselves on social media. They would usually take photos or videos of themselves to express to the rest of people on the platform.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, its a hassle to always draw or paint our a sentimental momento as it takes alot of time and effort. But, in lesser developed countries like Vietnam, they cant afford to have the latest handphones or even a old physical camera. hence, they use resources like their pencils and paper to draw out the good moments. But living in Singapore where everything now its quite high tech, its much easier to just use a camera or our phones itself. Even if i choose to draw or paint out a picture, you cant even understand it because i paint so badly. The quality in both pictures also differ due to the individuals talent on drawing or painting. A picture can easily see everything which is happening but if you lack of skils in drawing, the happy moment you painted or drew would be unclear and not easy to look at. Hence, i prefer photography way more than drawing or painting as its much easier and does not require much effort to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree that teenagers should be banned from using social media. Today, teenagers are posting insulting photos and videos online which may create chaos. Teenagers will also tend to compare themselves with the images posted online and think badly of themselves and become insecure of their body image. Furthermore, they are too young and is easily influenced by people online and is still immature to think for themselves. Thus, I agree that teenagers should be banned from using social media.

# data[].attributes.body
In the past, we would see people drawing/ painting out the sceneries, people etc. It is common in the past that we are able to see people drawing or painting.
Now, when we want to record down the sceneries, people or memories, we would just fish out our phone to take a picture of it.
In conclusion, i think i would disagree to the point as it is more common to express through photography as it is a digitalise society now

# data[].attributes.body
i prefer photograph than drawing and painting
- while drawing allows you to show your emotions, photography can capture it instantly.
compare to drawing, photography is easier, quicker which allows you to take as many as you want

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not think that teenagers should be banned from using social media. If teenagers are banned from social media, they wouldn't be able to socialize with others and they wouldn't know what is happening around the world.
In the past, parents allow teenagers to go out more often. Thus, the usage for social media would not be needed. Now, parents are more strict and would not let their kids out. Without going out to interact with others, the usage of social media would be needed for them to grow in their communication skills.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that people will prefer drawings and paintings as a form of self expression. In the past where photography is not common, paintings and drawings are the only way of self expression, so when an actual picture is shown one in the past may feel more than what is felt through a drawing which is their norm. However, now that photography is everywhere, drawings or painting are not appreciated as much. Hence, if there were an actual painting or drawing put infront of a person, that person may feel more than what they feel through a picture as they are required to think more. Thus people will prefer drawings and paintings as a form of self expression as it would catch others attention more then normal photographs

# data[].attributes.body
Yes as nowadays even kids at the age of 6 have their own mobile phone and as compared to the older generations where kid with hang out and just be kids

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people prefer photography as a form of self expression. The angle when taking a photograph can emit a different feeling or view. Thus, this makes self expression simpler as editing softwares can help to emphasise the feelings as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I can tell that photography has become increasingly popular as a form of self-expression in recent years. It offers a unique way to capture and share moments, emotions, and perspectives. On the other hand, back in the days, drawing and painting have their own charm and allow for a more hands-on and creative approach.

2) No. Social Media is a form of relaxation for us teenagers. Teenagers also use social media to contact their friends and family and thus should not be banned

# data[].attributes.body
To imagine that a whole demographic could be punished by law for accessing the worldwide web, is an insanely far-fetched concept to most, including me (a teen)

- communication and socialising is extremely important for humans. so to take away one's ability to communicate over distance -- although possible -- can be extremely frustrating
- one may use the excuse of teenagers in the past or in lesser-developed nations being able to cope without the same technology, but what about the parents that won't disapprove of their teens having physical interaction with others? what if its to contact a member of one's family from far away?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people prefer taking photographs to drawing as they can save a lot of time and the photographs look better

As someone who does art, it's all about the way you want to express it and not what other people dictate how you express yourself hence I stand by people using photography nowadays for self expression.

# data[].attributes.body

I feel as though that painting is seen as too old fashion or takes too much time while photography is much quicker and convenient. Back then, the only reason why people only painted to capture a portrait or a landscape was because it was the only option. Now, painting is just a hobby instead of a need to put moments into a picture. Photography is essentially an upgraded version of painting as it looks more realistic and can be done much faster.

# data[].attributes.body
In the past, when photography was not as common, people would have used painting as a form of self-expression as people would be able to paint whatever they want to express their feelings. But, with photography being so prevalent nowadays, people would be more likely to use photography as all it takes is one click of a button and you would have expressed your feelings already, unlike painting where it would take time.

# data[].attributes.body
I do prefer photography than drawing. This is because the time taken to take a photo and edit if faster than the time taken to draw.

# data[].attributes.body
yes because they are too young and are being influenced by it. take a good look at children from Africa even though they dont have any mobile devices they still live a happy life

No,youth shouldnt be banned from social media as in many countries alot of youths are using social media to keep in contact with friends or to catch up with them online, even though its not as good as meeting them in real life but if your friend is in another country, social media is a good way to keep in contact with your friend. Not to mention in the past people have to use the television to acquire news and know whats happening in the world but now youths can just whip out their phones to know what is happening in the world

# data[].attributes.body
- Yes I agree
1. As we get older, it is harder for us to remember the past times:
- Health issues (e.g. dementia)
- If we have dementia when we are old, we would most likely forget the experiences. The photos would be able to be a slight trigger for us to try to recap the experiences
- Therefore, I believe that photography is a good way to record memories

2. However, photography is also not a good way to record memories as photos cannot capture the amount of emotions such as the happiness we experienced that time:
- It is just a photo--> cannot show anything in terms of feelings
- E.g. When you look at a picture after a long time, would you feel anything?
- Therefore, photographs might not be a good way to record memories

# data[].attributes.body
