The ole of social media programs and their impact on social structure and decision-making

Abstract

Social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, X platform and other global and local platforms control the direction of public opinion towards various issues, no matter how important and dangerous they are to society, Sometimes they magnify simple matters and other times they make very sensitive topics a simple issue of little importance, They can also cause societal divisions and disputes that may be serious at times, and at the same time they have the ability to limit these phenomena and increase societal cohesion, as these sites are considered a double-edged sword that has a very sensitive impact on the societal structure, especially on the family, which is the basic building block of all societies, as many family activities that would increase family cohesion and strengthen relationships between its members have begun to disappear due to the preoccupation of family members and the isolation of each of them in his own world from the rest of the family and society.
