Capgemini Essay Writing Topics (Sample answers)

Topic: Social media has made us less social.

Sample Essay:

Has social media made us less social? It indeed had a great influence on us. Given the measure of its impact, it naturally attracted some criticism. While social media has its own cons, it has only helped humans build new relationships in this fast-paced world and stay more connected with it.

Here’s a common argument we hear against social media: People are interacting with their devices more than they do with people or the environment around. Thus, social media is making them less social. 

Well, Social media has been nothing more than a facilitator. A facilitator for information flow. The amount of information and knowledge one can accumulate through social media is immense. It has erased boundaries and helped communities grow. It had made learning easy and efficient. While the free flow of information might pose some long-term problems,  the positives outweigh the negatives.

The distance between people has a huge role in the level of communication between them. It is hard to imagine the scenario if there weren’t any social media. Thanks to social media this distance just got reduced to almost nothing. You can keep up with the lives of people you care for, and always be there for them. Social media made communication easy and efficient. It made communication real-time, just like two people having a conversation. 

If a kid is spending a lot of time on his computer, the parents have every right to be concerned. But, chances are the kid is picking up skills relevant to today’s tech world. Having said that, it is also equally important that one develops the necessary people skills. There is definitely a concern around the diminishing art of conversation, that needs to be addressed. Blaming social media is definitely not one of the many possible solutions.

In conclusion, think of it this way. Anything that helps us stay more connected with our friends, family and the outside world isn’t essentially making us less social. Social media is just a tool to stay connected. Nothing more, nothing less.
