Answer to Question #290894 in Sociology for safi

Question

Correlate Mass media with deviance as a cause in youth. Make arguments on it with the help of

examples with reference to Pakistani society.

Answer 1

Social Media facilitate deviant behavior in youth either negatively or positively. Social media has become the main source of cheap and quick information for black youngsters through social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp among others. However, most young people exchange their thoughts and feelings and even do marketing through sharing on social media, including exploiting information such as pornography, blackmailing, and online harassment. Therefore young people may be tempted to adopt those behaviors so that they can fit in their group and be accepted in society. For example, Pakistan has increasing social media networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter where thieves pretend to have online shops where buyers are expected to order and make online payments for their goods to be delivered but end up being conned. thus more youths have turned into such unlawful businesses to steal from others.
