"Obtained findings with this work show that the social media affects (Turkish) students generally in a positive manner."
Outstanding move

Because you suddenly reacted with a horrendously generalized claim.
Something by which I cannot abide.
BRUH
so it's double edged?
You should probably read that twice.
Yeah, it says it's mostly good but then implies they should also go outside
In both directions.
Generally positive, but generally negative.
And?
That's just misdirection to "hey, we should talk about this more, but more about the thing we put more words to"
In otherwords, nobody has a consensus
No agreed position
Basically that
So in otherwords, @ETBrooD , you picked a side on the generalization. When the given argument was "sometimes good, and sometimes bad" you picked one side as the argument towards the entire thing.
Not something I can side with.
You draw conclusions even though you haven't even read anything about it?
The very part you've shown me questions whether you read about it, or picked what you wanted to read about it.
I have read an entire book about the study of social media and behavioral addictions
I'm trying to find its name rn
Oh there's a fuckton out there. A lot of it fucking fantastic.
A lot of which I agree with, and I do think social media has been mostly an ill lately.
I think it's called "Irresistible" but I'm not sure
Could be one with a similar name
But I won't make that claim. I cannot know if it is an ill, and I will not generalize.
I get the feeling that search term will yield a lot of porn
Unf
also, food
and food porn
Hey, yeast infections are not sexy
I mean... to... most people. I'm sure there's someone out there.
Yes that's the book, got it in my bookcase
Irresistible goes over the changes in how addiction is perceived and studied, it gives examples of old addictions and modern addictions, and it focuses mostly on behavioral addictions, for example gaming, gambling, but also some of the less obvious ones
It also basically reveals why gaming companies resort to loot boxes and stuff like that these days
