        Online communities, such as Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter, have incorporated a range of new information and communication tools, such as availability on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.   Like any invention invented by scientists, Facebook, Myspace and Twitter have pros and cons. Social networking sites let peoples share ideas, philosophies, digital photos and videos, posts, and information about online or real world activities. Members can publicize an event, invite guests and track who plans to attend. Some use online communities in good benefit ways, whil^[a]e others are using these online community’s detrimental ways, often leading to addiction.

            Even though online communities have some negative impact but the pros are huge and contributed on the world economy, living with online communities such as Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter is now a lifestyle. For the new generation, real life is online or having more friends in Facebook, Myspace or Twitter.  Not having an presence can be considered death for the new generation. Globalization wants to make the world of Facebook unavoidable and the number of subscribers is constantly increasing every day. Everyone is using online communities, in different ways politicians, military, student and others.  For example, President Trump in the beginning of his presidency, He was giving some quick response on Twitter before the government meeting.    But now, the news is running faster online than before.  In the past before online communities being created, people hard a hard time knowing what the President was thinking about this or that problem, unless if you bought a newspaper or watched television then you could know what the President said during a government meeting.

         In terms of interest, the use of online communities is like a race to the watch. People are getting the connection on Facebook, Myspace or Twitter and lead them to marriage.  But, some are doing business, celebrating even preaching.  But, peoples should avoid the bad word because it’s can be offensive on the line, like what Jonathan Swift uses in his essay, “Infants’ flesh will be in season throughout the year,” (Swift, pp 174) can’t be used on the line it may be controversy. There is a lot to be done, and people do not have enough time to visit or interact with their friends, the community offers the opportunity for the individuals to interact and share views and opinions even as they carry on other duties. Although these networks are considered as effective links for the distance relationships by connecting the individuals. Some people are spending more time online and became addicted.

          There is not special caution which should peoples use to avoid any negatives associated with these networks, but caution is personnel and some country the government imposes blocking for some of these networks. The online communities have many cons. Here the weak are subjected to the laws of the strongest, it is as in the principles of globalization where the rich becomes richer and the poor have become poorer. For example, in poor countries peoples want to dress like in rich countries when they don’t have money like people in rich countries, When I lived in Africa, I experienced this occurrence. they want to drive nice cars and in shot live as rich countries peoples. This vision of the poor wanting to live like rich but without money, push young people from poor countries to immigrate to rich countries. The terrorist uses the social network for radicalization, young adherents. Young ladies are now dressing like prostitute because the want to look like their friend on social media.  Online community’s spread much false news without being verified and because of the impunity. Prostitution invades the online community that limits are uncontrollable.
