Social Media Effect
Have you ever considered that Instagram affects your self-esteem or how you view yourself? Do you ever sit and think, why do I like using Instagram? Instagram is a social media that allows the human to make post about their life and share it with the world. You may wonder what the big deal is, well let me tell you. With every post you make, Instagram has a feature that will display how many people like what you post. I personally use Instagram and Facebook in my free time and I find it to be a good pass time. But, I will also admit I feel effected by its absence. It is my plan to share my personal experience of using Instagram and back it up with facts from other sources. Social media is such a great source, but I found it to be a hindrance as well. Let’s explore what others have to say about how Instagram affects self-esteem.

Oliver White Hill, SR (1907–2007)
Oliver White Hill, Sr. (May 1, 1907 — August 5, 2007) was an American civil rights attorney from Richmond, Virginia. His work against racial discrimination helped end the doctrine of “separate but equal.” He also helped win landmark legal decisions involving equality in pay for black teachers, access to school buses, voting rights, jury selection, and employment protection. He retired in 1998 after practicing law for almost 60 years. Among his numerous awards was the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which U.S. President Bill Clinton awarded him in 1999. (Source: Wikepedia) Though he spent most of his life working and living in Richmond, he did live in my hometown of Roanoke. The house in which he lived in as a child is just up the road from where I work, in a predominantly African American community. His winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom should have been awarded earlier, but thankfully it wasn’t awarded posthumously.
