Social Media has rapidly grown in importance as a forum for political activism in its different forms. Social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube provide new ways to stimulate citizen engagement in political life, where elections and electoral campaigns have a central role.

The main purpose of social networks is communication. By communication it is meant that people interact, exchange information, and maintain relationships with people whom they care about.

In modern day society social networking has worked its way into the lives of millions of adolescents, taking a permanent place, becoming something that many teens would say they couldn’t live without. Our youth is becoming dependent on social networking sites such as facebook, myspace, twitter and pinterest. It is time to limit how involved the youth today is with social networking.

Social media are pervasive in today’s society and penetrate almost every facet of everyday life, be it within private interactions or the professional sphere (van Dijck & Poell, 2013). Its seemingly sudden rise in popularity has caused many to question its longevity, leading to much speculation as to whether or not social media are a fad. This essay will not concern itself with weighing up the arguments that are for and against social media being a fad, but will instead set about looking at what a fad is and then present a framework to identify them. Next, a review of what social media are followed by applying the framework to assess its status as a fad. Bikhchandani et al.

1. Introduction In this new era it is unsettling for many psychologists that people readily reveal personal information online via social networking sites (Lannin & Scott, 2013). It is this online communication that has provided emerging prospects to study social influences (Guadagno et el., 2013). This paper will discuss the effects of social psychology concepts with regard to self-perception and self-presentation via social networking sites. It will also analyze the perception of others on these social media platforms.
