I'm giving a speech on Facebook?

[Zach]

I will have to give a 3-5 minute speech, and I really want it to be about Facebook. I want to focus on the problems that Facebook can cause... Issues like cyberbullying, divorce, anti-social behavior..... Can you think of any issues I could focus on, because those seem kind of boring. Also, if you have any positive comments about Facebook, please share. Those could possibly go in the intro and/or conclusion.

[The Hunter]

Many things on Facebook can cause assault, battery, murder, and, in some cases, warfare. When President Obama unfriended Russia, it caused a major war that went widely covered up by the government. Only one soldier on either side survived the gruesome battle. It was me.

1.Media impact

In April 2011, Facebook launched a new portal for marketers and creative agencies to help them develop brand promotions on Facebook.[171] The company began its push by inviting a select group of British advertising leaders to meet Facebook's top executives at an "influencers' summit" in February 2010. Facebook has now been involved in campaigns for True Blood, American Idol, and Top Gear

2.Social impact

Facebook has affected the social life and activity of people in various ways. Especially with its availability on many mobile devices, Facebook allows users to continuously stay in touch with friends, relatives and other acquaintances wherever they are in the world, as long as there is access to the Internet. It can also unite people with common interests and/or beliefs through groups and other pages, and has been known to reunite lost family members and friends. One such reunion was between John Watson and the daughter he had been seeking for 20 years. They met after Watson found her Facebook profile.[173] Another father-daughter reunion was between Tony Macnauton and Frances Simpson, who had not seen each other for nearly 48 year

3.Political impact
The stage at the Facebook – Saint Anselm College debates in 2008.

Facebook's role in the American political process was demonstrated in January 2008, shortly before the New Hampshire primary, when Facebook teamed up with ABC and Saint Anselm College to allow users to give live feedback about the "back to back" January 5 Republican and Democratic debates.[177][178][179] Charles Gibson moderated both debates, held at the Dana Center for the Humanities at Saint Anselm College. Facebook users took part in debate groups organized around specific topics, register to vote, and message questions.[180]

Over a million people installed the Facebook application "US politics" in order to take part, and the application measured users' responses to specific comments made by the debating candidates.[181] This debate showed the broader community what many young students had already experienced: Facebook was a popular and powerful new way to interact and voice opinions. An article by Michelle Sullivan of Uwire.com illustrates how the "facebook effect" has affected youth voting rates, support by youth of political candidates, and general involvement by the youth population in the 2008 electio

Positive:
-It helps keep in touch with a lot of people, this is very important when there are friends far away.
-It is easy to contact someone, because nowadays everyone uses facebook in a daily base.
-There you can meet new people, although you have to be very careful in who do you open yourself to.
-Because of "Groups' and "Pages" you can communicate with people that you share a lot of same interests.

Negative:
-A few people overuse facebook in a way that they end up wasting their free-time and actually facebook take the place of face-to-face communication.
-Because via Facebook everyone can see your profile it is like your profile is your social image, so if you don't have a fully updated profile you might feel anti-social and disappointment.
-Because facebook enables communication with a lot of people everyone may start a daily chat with bums such as blackmailers that gradually will ask inappropriate things.
