Essay 2 Topic

With a rise in Internet use, millions of people around the globe have flocked to a variety of social networking sites to connect with others.  Sites such as Facebook and Myspace have allowed people to reconnect or to meet for the first time.  With the ability to create personal profiles, to include pictures, and to supply personal and professional information on these sites, people are divulging a lot of information over the Internet.  Some people argue that social networking sites offer people the opportunity to build a stronger and ever-expanding community of friends from around the globe (a global community).  Others argue that social networking sites cause problems because of the amount of information (whether negative or positive) that people provide to friends and strangers.
