Effects of Social Networking to Students
CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
Social Networking is one of the trendiest topics being talked about by the students in Sta. Teresa College. Examples of social networking sites are Friendster, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Social Networking Sites help us to communicate with our friends, classmates, and relatives but they also allow us to communicate with other people who contribute to common interests with us. For instance a person added another person as a friend on Facebook since both of them is addicted on playing Restaurant City. Through these social networking sites, we develop virtual interpersonal relationships. An interpersonal relationship is a relatively long-term relationship between two or more people.
This connection may be based on emotions like love and liking, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitments. Interpersonal relationships take place in a great variety of contexts, such as family, friends, marriage, acquaintances, work, clubs, neighborhoods, and churches. They may be regulated by law, custom, or mutual agreement, and are the basis of social groups and society as a whole.
Social networking sites manipulate the interpersonal relationship of students in many ways. Through social networking sites, users come to meet other people worldwide. These people can affect the user’s interpersonal relationship with other people close to him/her. This influence can either be good or bad for the user. The researchers chose the topic about the influence of social networking sites to be studied because it is shown evidently that most of the students in Sta. Teresa College use Social Networking Sites as part of their activities done in the internet.
Many students always log in to their account on Facebook, Twitter, etc. as a part of their everyday routine. Could you imagine the number of all the students logging in to these social networking sites, everyday? That would be millions of students logging in
