Social media entails some negativity, but its positive contributions to communication continue to strengthen the world. Therefore, this essay analyses the effects of social media on people’s lives by job orientations, fame, and interpersonal communication. 

Jobs

 Social media is a significant player in the attempts of reducing unemployment levels in the world.  Social media or rather the cyberspace has turned to be a substantial base through which people are employed in different environments (Briz 25) including media houses and so, reducing poverty between individuals and communities.  Social media is currently used as a tool of spreading crucial issues with efficacy, which ensures that all people despite one's social, gender, economic or political affiliation get reliable and consistent updates on such information. It allows job advertisements hence potential employees have enough chances and equal priorities to employment since social media provides the right to freedom by allowing the engagement of all kinds of people (Story 99). Nevertheless, social media has enhanced job management through its flexibility and accessibility. For instance, the various platforms enable secure and efficient interviews to job positions through its ability to allow visual interactions.

Fame

Positively, cyberspace has dramatically mobilized the search for superiority in different fields including business and political environments. Most business focused entities including public and private organizations claim the viability of social media to promote different products and services and artistic capabilities in various markets across the world. Social Media continues to enhance the process of introducing an offering in different target markets through its marketing capabilities facilitated by the flexibility and diversity to communicating information of all kinds. Companies and business entities employ social media platforms to brand their products and services owing to its abilities to deliver both visual and sound data (Richardson 91). People of different backgrounds have easy access to social media hence its importance to creating the value of products and services across the world for market growth (Noor 229). Moreover, technological advancements within the communications industry suggest new and more efficient products such as computers and other digital products and services in the market, which has positively influenced market growth in different regions worldwide.

On the other hand, cyberspace has the potential to distracting superiority since perpetrators consider social media as an active channel for spreading stimulating, inciting or offensive information concerning an existing figure of a commodity (Gupta 12). It allows the transfer of misguiding information on product sales while communicating criticism which impacts the official acceptance in the community of market. For that reason, the complexities of the management of social media due to its changeability continue to posit significant uncertainties on fame (Gupta 12). It is deducible that a large population worldwide utilize most of their time for social interaction through the internet, a trend that deters innovation, educational performance, and other business practices. Social interaction via cyberspace is hindering majority to fully participating in respective environments thus the fading pattern of one's publicity. Social media is ranked as a significant factor with negative impacts on performance and also, as a factor that disrupts participation.

Political promotion

Most political groups or politicians incline to use social media for political promotions.  Social media provides a valuable promotional base from which aspirants for political positions and political parties can easily promote administration goals at lower costs (Pătruţ & Pătruţ 286). It is also time efficient facilitated by the diversity of social platforms thus providing political aspirants equal and enough chances to reach a larger group of supporters over political tours. Politicians and political parties employ social media as a surface to manage cost and time efficacy when promoting legislative determinations (Lees-Marshment 51). Nevertheless, social media avails politicians' viable chances to clarify hecklings of the mainstream media.

On the contrary, the evaluation of truthfulness accrues severe complexities regardless the beneficial influence of social media to enhancing the transfer of political information. The platforms, particularly, Facebook is negatively reputed for its failure to discern truthful and falsely modified manifestos thus allowing the spread of fake news concerning political aspirants to the public (Lees-Marshment 51). The weakness posits the making of wrong legislative determinations among the voters. For instance, false report on critical issues like corruption and discrimination may enact development of negative attitudes concerning governance of the current government while promoting the opposition government by false articulations.

Communication

Cyber technology is persistently becoming a dominant alternative to human transmission, information distribution, learning, and politicking and a prospect for the comprehensive transformation of social systems (Salmon 190). Mobile phones are extensively becoming not just a luxury but a human need that even the uneducated groups within the local communities tend to find useful. Cyber cafes or simply internet connectivity is increasingly becoming a norm in pursuit of interpersonal and also societal relationships to the larger society. It is arguably true that social media is a domineering technology that provides enough chances to ensuring conformity within the contexts of communication.

The broad elements of social media have considerably improved communication between people. Social media in the modern day postulate interactive effects, that is, positive influences on the way people communicate. Social media has unrelenting contributions to improved social interactions through its abundant, accessible and affordable base for communication (Baird 100). As such, social media is primarily used as an effective means for the connection between friends and family and also meeting new friends across the world owing to its affordability.  The communication tool is accessible to different to people of diverse backgrounds either social, cultural, educational (both literate and illiterate) despite one's economic status due to globalization; with exciting and accessible models of holding a social interaction between all people. Social media as well employs a variety of communication platforms including Facebook, Twitter or Whatsup hence its importance in expanding interaction boundaries. People have the freedom to hire a platform of their choice by communication efficacy and content (Salmon 190). Interestingly, while its efficiency commonly accepts social media in communication, the flexibility of the tool allows the spread of various material including visual, written and audio messages. For that reason, communication is now livelier considering that people tend to communicate and exchange ideas through graphics – videos, pictures or even sound recordings that represent discussion as a practical experience.
