Many people think differently about YouTube, some people think that it has an immoral effect towards society, but it actually has a positive effect towards society. YouTube is given a negative impact towards society by all of the immature people on it. It has many education and funny YouTubers on it so it can be entertaining.
YouTube can be entertaining by people doing funny skits/videos. Additionally, “People like ‘Smosh’ may have some crude humor and violence, but they are still somewhat entertaining to watch.” (Levine 1) This is true because, all of those YouTubers who have crude humor in those videos are still funny. Moreover, “Also many YouTubers have videos that are very funny and they put them up every day or every week.” (Levine 1) Many YouTubers gain their fame by being funny and posting often. As a

Additionally, “Teachers across North America are using YouTube videos as a teaching aide.” (Levine 1) It doesn’t matter how much the teacher knows, they can still use YouTube for research. Furthermore, “Many people – from students learning the material for the first time to adults who just want to learn something new.” (Levine 1) Students go on YouTube to have a better visual of something and adults who don’t know something but, want to learn something new. Clearly, YouTube can be a powerful education website and is good for everyone.
YouTube can be good for their censorship of videos for 18+. Additionally, “YouTube may censor for dumb reasons but at least they try to censor nudity and sexual themes.” (Mashnick 1) It is good that YouTube doesn’t keep nudity or sexual themes so immature people or kids will see them. Moreover, “No people actually post that nasty stuff as they will get banned.” (Mashnick 1) People don’t want to get banned from YouTube just because they posted something stupid. As a result, censorship on YouTube is enforced by many people since it protects children from
Those videos can even be shared on other forms of social media like Facebook and Twitter. According to The Telegraph’s article How YouTube changed the world, they state that “The online video behemoth has become the world’s third most-visited website, after Google and Facebook” (How YouTube changed the world). This website has thousands of videos that anyone with access to the it and internet can view. In the same article, they explain that Youtube has been the birthplace of some celebrities in the music, fashion, and video game scenes. (How YouTube changed the world). Because of how easy it is for a person to watch these videos and share them from all across the world, American culture, and other cultures can be spread to each other.

It has become a tool to provide a positive voice, influence, and opportunity to reach people you may have never been able to reach before. I don't argue that all media usage is negative , I theorize the way our community has chosen to use it hasn’t been solely positive. In closing, our media has negatively reshaped our culture inadvertently. It has changed our focus away from the real responsibilities of life, provided another world for people to hide behind and also made many people overly paranoid to the negative things. In stand for development, I would suggest people to use Media has an additional voice, not another identity. Also, for its producers to really understand its influence and realize the positive influence they can create on our society by simply using it in the right way. In direction to its consumers, I would suggest to not only consume media ; To open the eyes and focus back to the things that are unrelated to keyboards, tv and everything

As stated by Stein Sanburn article The New Greatest Generation, “ The Internet has democratized opportunity for many young people, giving them access and information that once belonged mostly to the wealthy.” I agree with Stein Sanburn statement. The Internet has provided many millennials find a new way of creating their own future. Instead of just going and looking for normal job. Many millennials are using social media websites like YouTube to become stable in their lives.

Though with this great innovation and changes that Youtube has made, there are still some negative feedbacks from the netizens. Others would prefer the old system; even so, if we will just embrace the new system and give it a try, Youtube will definitely be a better place for sharing, Better place for commenting, And hopefully, will have better and responsible users.
Social media and digital media can have positive and negative outcomes. Today, many young people have used digital media as an outlet of coping with pressure and anxiety. Many people have started to publish blogs and talk about their days. In China and around the world, social media helps the young to mingle with the world. This gives the young people an opportunity to network with the other side of the world and become more open with other personality. It allows these people to express themselves, and relieve stress. In Korea, due to strictness, school and work, teens have taken the opportunity to express themselves anonymously through social media. Social media is a diverse and open space to connect with others who are going through the same problems or have similar issues. Which can help you cope with problems if you need advice. Older generations argue that digital media has caused today 's generation to be be lazy. Some of that is true, people use it to play games and lose track of time, others get distract themselves by becoming interested in Hollywood
Social media has impacted everyone that has used it some point in his or her life. Since the world is increasing in technology advances, so is social media which can be good and bad. Technology has made a huge difference in the world and definitely how people are doing things now. Yes, the Internet can be good for the majority of things we use it for such as finding research, keeping in touch with family or friends who are far away, and saving time and money. Others like to take advantage of social media and use it in a way that can hurt people; it may not hurt them physically, but it can hurt them emotionally. Examples of how some people use the Internet in a bad way include cyberbullying, identity theft, or cyberstalking. Social media has impacted the Millennial generation for sure.
