Social Networking sites affect moral values

Social Networking sites may help people stay connected in today’s fast paced world but they can harm the moral values of the users. An International team from University of Southern California has found that social networking sites could make people indifferent as they don’t allow time for compassion or admiration. The study shows that emotions linked to moral sense are slow to respond to news and events and have failed to keep up with the modern world. Activities like reading books and meeting friends, where people can define their moral values are taken over by news snippets and fast moving social networking the problem could become widespread.
