Most of the people whether it is family, friends or acquaintance get news about us

is one of the medium to keep in touch with somebody and its free.

(Transition : I will start with a definition of what social networking and its pro towards the
users.)

E. What is social networking?

1. Social networking can be defined as the use of dedicated websites and
applications to interact with other users, or to find people with similar interests
to oneself.
2. "Social media is any form of online publication or presence that allows end
users to engage in multi-directional conversations in or around the content on
the website" (OnlineMatters.com)
3. "Social media and social networking focus on two-way interactions, between
the site (or the person running the site) and the people reading or using it"
(Salpeter,2011, p.6)
 4. "Two-way interactions" means that comments are allowed in that blog and
there could be interactions between the writer and anyone who give
comments.

2. Body (Pro of Social Networking)

F. One of the pro of social networking is worldwide connectivity no matter how far
you are away from your hometown.
1. Worldwide Connectivity
No matter if you are searching for a former college roommate, your first grade
teacher, or an international friend, no easier or faster way to make a
connection exists than social media. Although Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn
and Pinterest are probably the most well-known social networking
communities, new websites are popping up regularly that let people connect
and interact over the Web.
With each of these sites, individuals can make new friends or simply extend
their personal base by connecting and interacting with friends of friends -
which can have a multiplying effect.
These connections can help with a variety of things such as:
 Finding romance
 Seeking a new job
 Locating assistance
 Getting and giving product and service referrals
 Receiving support from like-minded individuals
 Making or receiving career or personal advice
 Sharing political beliefs
 Accessing news in real time
In many ways, these social communities are the virtual equivalent of church
socials where family and friends gather to exchange news and get updates.
Even the age-old custom of connecting with pen pals has been upgraded as
private messages can be sent over social media. When it comes to getting
information, few methods are faster than social media.
(Transition : Highlighting the pro of social networks, it doesn’t necessarily mean that
there are no drawbacks in them. So, whenever there is pro for something there also will be a
con about something.)

3. Body (Con of Social Networking)

A. As technology developing nowadays, cybercrime is the most leading crime in the
world right now through social networking sites.
1. Cybercrime
Cybercrime is defined as a crime in which a computer is the object of the
crime (hacking, phishing, spamming) or is used as a tool to commit an offense
(child pornography, hate crimes). Cybercriminals may use computer
technology to access personal information, business trade secrets, or use the
Internet for exploitive or malicious purposes. Criminals can also use
 computers for communication and document or data storage. Criminals who
perform these illegal activities are often referred to as hackers. Cybercrime
may also be referred to as computer crime.
2. Recently, online crime which is also known as Cybercrime, proposes an
increasing threat to all the internet users. This includes online purchase fraud,
parcel scam, sexual exploitation and cyber bullying. One of the main problems
to eradicate cybercrime is that it is hard to identify the offender and it is
almost impossible to keep full-time surveillance in such a wide network.
3. Whether you like it or not, the information you post on the Internet is available
to almost anyone who is clever enough to access it. Most thieves need just a
few vital pieces of personal information to make your life a nightmare. If they
successfully steal your identity, it could cost you dearly. A report on
Bankrate reveals Millennials (Gen Y) are one of the fastest growing groups to
be victims. This is linked to the group's comfort with sharing everything
online - including personal information.

(Transition : Hence there are pro and con of social networking, let’s take a look how we
can make benefit from the social networking.)

4. Body (Recommendation of Social Networking)

A. Malaysia right now are having a hard time with the economic situation and
brilliant people will take an advantage of this by making social network as a
source of income.
1. Source of Income
Social networking takes place online where people meet and share ideas,
recommendations and experiences. So, it is similar to a non-stopping
communication with a broad audience through a variety of platform or sites.
This is one of the factor that the organizations are interested in social media
since they can get different kinds of suggestions and feedbacks from people.
2. One of the most important thing to point out the benefit of social networks on
business field is, social media marketing. By acting social networks as
stepping stones, social media marketing can gain a lot of benefits including
relationship building, brand building, publicity, promotions and so on. So, it
can be concluded that social media marketing proposes several opportunities
for entrepreneurs, small businesses, midsize companies and large corporations
to build their brands and business.
5. Conclusion
A. Final review
As of all, there are the most popular pro and con of social networking and a
recommendation to use the social network for better purpose.
B. Tie back to the audience
There are actually many other pros and cons of social networking. However, the
pro and con that I share with you just now are the most important to take a look
because people tend to ignore the real purpose of social networking.
C. Concluding remarks
Therefore, if you are tired of using the social networks in a wrong way, you can
make a difference by using it the right way and make it benefits for us and for
other people also.
