1.) I think that social media is very present in the esteem tier of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Using social networking sites can sometimes build self-esteem by seeing positive comments, getting a lot of likes, or by having a lot of followers. However, I think it is more likely that social media lowers esteem. Today, cyber bullying is increasingly common and effects a lot of young individuals that have accounts on social networking websites. Cyber bullies can easily hide behind the screen and get away with hurting other online. Being harassed on the internet can clearly lead to lower self-esteem and confidence. I believe that social media can have both positive and negative consequences but the negative ones are much more obvious.
