How Does Social Media Affect Our Mental and Physical Health?


When it comes to the ideal number of "friends" on Facebook, it's not necessarily about the quantity, but more about the quality of those connections. Research suggests that having meaningful and supportive relationships on social media can have positive effects on mental health. However, having a large number of superficial connections or experiencing negative interactions can be detrimental.


As for the factors that influence whether Facebook has negative or positive effects, it can vary from person to person. Some factors that may contribute to negative influences, like links with depression, include excessive social comparison, cyberbullying, and feelings of isolation. On the other hand, positive results, like boosts in self-esteem, can be influenced by factors such as receiving social support, positive feedback, and engaging in uplifting content.

 Hello everyone! my name is Kinzy Bowen and I am a 20yr old student athlete here at Oregon State University. I currently live in Corvallis, Oregon but I am originally from a small town in Eastern Oregon called La Grande. I am working towards figuring out my degree and which major I would like to pursue.

An interesting fact about myself is that my friends and family call me Trey because that was supposed to be my name until my parents found out I was a girl.  I would like to learn about the behind the scenes type of stuff that goes into soci...

The Social Semiotics methodology is a framework for analyzing and interpreting visual communication, including images, signs, and symbols. It was developed by scholars such as Roland Barthes and Gunther Kress. This methodology is important because it helps us understand how meaning is constructed and conveyed through visual elements. By examining the relationship between signs, context, and social conventions, we can gain insights into the deeper messages and cultural implications embedded in images.

For example, photos at the top of a composition may signify importance or dominance, while photos at the bottom may imply a supporting or subordinate role. Photos placed to the left may suggest past or background information, while photos placed to the right may indicate future or foreground information. These rules help us interpret the inten...

                         knapps relation model shows us different ways on how we build relationships, maintain and how they sometimes can fall apart. Social media, distance, time, ect. all play a part in how our relationships go. I have had many relationships with friends, family and lovers who have came together and ended there or still in that maintenance spot and coming apart. I don't see one as the hardest or easiest for me they all have their challenges that come along with building a relationship and they all have there moments of ease.  Im going to talk about the relationship I have with my sister. She is 22 and I am 20 and we didn't get close till about 2 years ago. Its crazy to think how you can live with someone your whole life and not be friends or on good terms. We had good moments of course but most of the time we had hatred towards each other ver dumb little stuff and I believe that's because of how much...
