Introduction
The researcher is focused on The impacts of social media on the lives of youths living in
Windsor Forest and to objectively examine this problem statement. The decision was made

importance, as it aims to provide ways to help students understand what these impacts have
on their lives. In addition, this would raise awareness and possible solutions for
recommendations.
This research was done as a part of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE)
requirement and would contribute to the researchers final grades. In the process of doing
this research, the researcher aimed at improving her writing skills and to be able to gather
data efficiently.

Literature Review
Social media are computer-mediated technologies that facilitate the creation and sharing
of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual
communities and networks. Users typically access social media services via web-
based technologies on desktop computers, and laptops, or download services that offer social
media functionality to their mobile devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers). Some of the
most popular social media websites are Facebook, Gab, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest,
Reddit, Snapchat, Tumblr, Viber, WeChat, WhatsApp and YouTube.
As said by Marshall McLuhan, a philosopher of communication, The new electronic independence
re-creates the world in the image of a global village. This electronic independence is inherently
dependent upon the internet. It spreads knowledge internationally, thereby making us global
citizens. Online social networks created by websites such as Facebook, allows free sharing of
thoughts, thus, barriers cannot stop the flow of information and knowledge.
The lives of people, especially teenagers, are largely influenced by what is posted by other people
on their profiles. The habits that teenagers learn are decided more by what their friends do and
less by the teachings of their parents and teachers. It is no doubt that the internet and social
media are powerful instruments for mobilization of people.
With the constant use of these social technologies, less people are communicating in person.
People are becoming isolated due to the lack of face-to-face interactions. It is becoming easier to
go through life with little personal confrontations and conversations. This trend has made people
an expert at using technology and failing at human interaction. Without personal interactions, we
will lose our speaking and language skills.
Social media used to just be a playground for the young, wild, and free. Now, platforms across the
space are being colonized by older demographics. Thats largely thanks to Facebook, where 53
percent of U.S. users are now 35 or older. (On Twitter, the age split is relatively even as well:
About 45 percent of users are at least 35.)

Instagram and Snapchat, meanwhile, remain a haven for the young: 69 percent of Instagram users
are under 35, as are an incredible 82 percent of Snapchat users. Every platform is expected to get
older by 2020, Snapchat and Instagram especially.

8|P a g e
 Yugdarshani OBrien

A famous American psychologist, Abraham Maslow, stated in his Theory of Motivation that the
social need of human beings is very important. As of 2016, Facebook (the worlds largest social
networking company) has 1.50 billion active users, and the numbers are increasing every year. As
per the survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, 78% college students and 72% high school
students spend their time using social medias. These numbers indicate how much the teenager
community is involved in this virtual world of social networking.
Social networks provide teenagers with the freedom to do whatever they want, create other online
identities that the real world does not allow. Never before has it been so easy for young minds to
create a digital image of their actions through such a spontaneous medium.
According to a TrackMaven study published on the Marketing Profs site, posting on Instagram isnt
really affected by the day of the week, or the time of the day, although there was a small spike on a
Monday and a drop on Sundays which might suggest that users are more creative at the start of
the week, and happier to leave their phones and camera apps specifically alone on a lazy Sunday
before they go back to work. Social media and social content are the future, and should be
seen as such. Together, they can take you forward and help to achieve your goals so use them
wisely by monitoring what works now, not what used to work.
In conclusion, the use of social media has both positive and negative impacts. The positive impact
are helping families and friends to stay in contact with each other, encourages freedom of self-
expression and aids in developing an understanding of technology. However, there are also the
negative impacts of using social media which are there are possibilities of cyber-bullying, it can
sometimes be a waste of precious time and the information that are shared on some of the
websites have no scope of control and can affect the teenager mentally. However, the main
question is whether the advantages of using social media outweigh the disadvantages of using
social media or vice versa.

DATA COLLECTION SOURCE

This internal assessment was successfully completed based on the information that the
researcher collected by using both primary and secondary sources of data collection. The
primary data collection source that was used was a questionnaire which was distributed to
the residents of the study area to complete and the secondary source of data collection
used by the researcher included the use of textbooks and the internet.
A questionnaire is a research document consisting of questions and possible
options/answers and is used mainly for the purpose of gathering information from
respondents. The questionnaire consisted of fifteen (15) questions and was used because it
gave the respondents enough time to answer the questions. Twenty (20) questionnaires
were distributed and each respondent was allotted a weeks time to complete and return the
questionnaire to the researcher. The information collected made the researcher understand
the topic better than before.
Secondary sources of data collection such as the use of books and the internet were
also used by the researcher. These sources gave an enormous amount of information to
comprehend. The researcher gained access to these sources by visiting the school library
and the World Wide Web.
Included in the appendix of this internal assessment are a detailed map of the
research site and a copy of the questionnaire.

ANALYSIS OF DATA
Windsor Forest is a village whose population consists of approximately 65% teenagers who
are users of social media. A total of twenty (20) questionnaires were distributed randomly
to persons and were collected at the end of two (2) weeks. The data was then analyzed by
the researcher and organized in a tabular format. From the tables, the researcher made
graphical representations depicting the information given.
Figure 1.1 depicts a graphical representation of the question Which social media do you think
is most commonly used by the youths of today? The majority (8 out of 20 respondents
(40%)) stated that Instagram is mostly used, 5 indicated Facebook (25%), 4 respondents
indicated Snapchat (20%) and the remaining 3 respondents indicated Twitter (15%).
Figure 1.2 depicts a graphical representation of the question Why do you think that the
youths engage themselves with social media? The majority of the respondents (40%) stated
that social media is mostly used for entertainment purposes, 6 of them stated that it is used
for communication (30%), 2 indicated that it is used to increase popularity (10%) and the
minority ( 4 persons) believed that it is used to keep up with the current trends (20%).
Figure 1.3 depicts a graphical representation of the question How has the use of social
media interfered with the culture of the youths that are living in Windsor Forest? 5 out of 20
respondents (25%) stated that religion is affected, 3 stated that music is affected (15%), 8
out of 20 respondents (40%) stated that dressing style is influenced and the remaining 4
believed that mannerisms were affected (20%).
Figure 1.4 depicts a graphical representation of the question Do you think that the use of
social media affects society as a whole? 4 out of 20 respondents (20%) stated that there is
an increase in cyber crimes, 8 respondents stated that there is a lack of privacy (40%), 5
stated that there is a decrease in productivity (25%) and the remaining 3 respondents
believed that there is an increase in the number of delinquents in the village (15%).
Figure 1.5 depicts a graphical representation of the question Approximately, how much time

19 | P a g e
 Yugdarshani OBrien

(45%)) stated that they spend atleast an hour on social media on a daily basis, 5 indicated
that they spend atleast 2 hours (25%), 4 stated that they spend atleast 3 hours (20%) and
the remaining 2 said that they spend 4 or more hours using social media (10%) on a daily
basis.
While analyzing the data, the researcher noticed the trend that the majority of Instagram
users are the ones who spend atleast an hour on a daily basis using social media. Also, it
was noticed that the users of Facebook are the ones who spend most of their time on social
media.
Persons who spend 4 or more hours being active online are the ones who belong to the age
range 14 17.

DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS
The information gathered in this project was almost the same as those that were stated in
the Literature Review. It was the intention of the researcher to find out the impacts of social
media on the lives of youths living in Windsor Forest.
Instagram was stated as the most used social media

21 | P a g e
 Yugdarshani OBrien

RECOMMENDATIONS
Even though there are many dangers that are associated with the use of social media,
teenagers will continue to use it. So, the researcher has come up with these
recommendations to limit the use of social media after considering the findings of the
research:
The government can implement strict laws to punish persons who commit cyber-
crimes or the posting of inappropriate pictures so as to aid in dropping the suicide
rate in the country
Parents should be able to gain access to child / childrens social media accounts so
that they can limit their childrens use of social media
Parents should limit their childrens volume of access to digital media. In this way,
children will not have unnecessary access to the internet.

22 | P a g e
 Yugdarshani OBrien

LIMITATIONS to the research

During the process of conducting this research, the researcher was faced with a few
difficulties which slowed down the process of gathering the necessary information. Some of
the problems that the researcher faced were:
Instead of one (1) week, the respondents took almost two (2) weeks to complete the
questionnaires which slowed down the process of gathering the data
The researcher had difficulties in analyzing the answers that were given in the open
ended questions because some of the handwriting were illegible
The respondents had difficulties in understanding some of the questions, so the
researcher had to explain the questions. This took up a lot of time and proved to be
additional work to the researcher.

23 | P a g e
 Yugdarshani OBrien

CONCLUSION
After conducting the research based on the stated aims and objectives, the researched
concluded that Instagram is the most commonly used social media among the youths of
Windsor Forest. The rapid increase in the use of social media affects youths in many ways. It
makes them have a low self esteem of themselves, affects their manners, dressing style
etc. Social media also promotes communication and makes them knowledgeable about things
happening all over the world.
However, the researcher also found out that the culture of young persons can be
maintained despite the use of social media by motivating the youths to attend their religious
places of worship and to engage themselves in family activities etc.
