REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This is a sample. Replace with your own.
In this assignment, all the literature available on the different approaches to the concept of your
research is explicitly reviewed. Here you can write the outline or plan of your review like in how
many sections and what you are discussing in each section.
Sample Main Heading 1 (as per your topic)
This is a sample. Replace with your own.
Social entrepreneurship in common parlance refers to entrepreneurial activity with an embedded
social purpose. Although, entrepreneurial activities with a social concern can be traced back in the
history but the social entrepreneurship as an innovative model for social problem solving has
recently emerged (Robinson et al., 2009; Mair & Marti, 2006; Peredo & McLean, 2006; Dees et
al., 2002; Chell, 2007). Thus, social entrepreneurship mainly stands for endeavors which primarily
focus over social value creation and thus social mission remains central to every social
entrepreneurship activity.
The social entrepreneurship has become a global phenomenon, impacting societies by catalyzing
social transformations for societal wellbeing. The phenomenon mainly addresses the basic needs
of human society which were neglected in the race for mainstream development. As such, the
phenomenon can occur in any society and often such local social entrepreneurship initiatives have
the potential for scale up and replication at the global level. E-g: Microfinance of Bangladesh.
Sample Main Heading 2(as per your topic)
This is a sample. Replace with your own.
As described above, the idea of social enterprise is certainly not new as businesses with social
missions can be traced back in the nineteenth century. Thus, the practice of social enterprise may
well be ahead of the theory as in other areas of social action (Sarah et al., 2002).

Effects of Social Media on Adolescents
Social media has swiftly become vital to many people’s everyday lives due to the growth
of smartphones and other mobile internet access methods. Numerous studies and scholarly
articles have examined the effects of social media on adolescents. Anyone using social media
can encounter positive and negative events (Roberts & David, 2019). This topic needs to be
studied to demonstrate how best to assist teens in coping with the ever-expanding reach of social
media. How adolescents use social media impacts their sense of self, relationships, and mental
health varies widely between users. This is because excessive social media use has been
associated with negative results for users’ mental health and productivity, such as addiction and
significant time loss. This study examines numerous impacts of social media use on adolescents.
In this study of social media effects on adolescents, I aim to address the following questions
1. What are the negative effects of social media on the mental health of adolescents?
2. What are the positive impacts of social media on the mental health of adolescents?
3. How to mitigate social media content risk to protect adolescents’ mental health?
Negative Effects
Social media use can contribute to anxiety and depression. This is because adolescents
are constantly exposed to images and messages that can trigger negative emotions. When
adolescents are constantly exposed to images and messages on social media that trigger negative
emotions, leading to anxiety and depression (Azhari et al., 2022). This is because seeing these
images and messages can remind them of their insecurities and make them feel worse.
Additionally, social media can also be a trigger for anxiety and depression because it can create a
sense of comparison. Adolescents may compare themselves to the people they see on social
media and feel like they don’t measure up, which can lead to negative feelings.
3
Isolation from others is a potential drawback of social media use. It is not uncommon for
adolescents to prefer virtual contacts to actual ones. Consequently, negative emotions such as
loneliness and isolation may develop. Increasing rates of loneliness have been connected to
adolescents’ increasing reliance on virtual interactions over face-to-face interactions (Azhari et
al., 2022). This is because they may not have as many opportunities to interact with people in
person, which can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Social media can also make it
difficult for adolescents to form and maintain relationships. This is because they may rely on
social media instead of learning how to communicate in person.
Social media can also increase the risk of cyberbullying. This is because adolescents may
be targeted by bullies who use social media to harass and humiliate their victims. This is because
adolescents may compare their bodies to the bodies of other users on social media, leading to
feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. It can include sending mean or threatening
messages, spreading rumors or hurtful comments, posting embarrassing photos or videos, or
pretending to be someone else to hurt someone else (Azhari et al., 2022). Cyberbullying can be
very harmful and can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, depression, and even suicide.
Many adolescents spend most of their time on social media than they do sleeping, which
can lead to fatigue and sleep deprivation. They spend most of their time on social media than
they do sleeping, which can lead to sleep problems (Azhari et al., 2022). It is because they may
not get enough sleep, leading to fatigue and sleep deprivation. Additionally, the blue light from
screens can disrupt the body’s natural sleep cycle, making it difficult for adolescents to fall
asleep and stay awake. This turns them into “online slavery,” which slows their focus and
thinking due to fatigue
4
Positive Effects
According to Roberts & David (2019), teens’ access to social media sites, where they can
participate in various interactive learning activities, considerably aids the development of their
digital competence. As adolescents connect online with multiple people and circumstances, their
digital skills and understanding of proper digital conversation develop. Teenagers would benefit
from acquiring the trainable digital skills that can aid them in future academic endeavors and the
digital workplace of the future. This is beneficial for keeping their minds engaged and making
quick decisions under duress.
Educational Resources and Support: Adolescents rely significantly on the internet for
school group projects, particularly on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. They can
debate and exchange ideas, divide and schedule tasks, and evaluate the outcomes of their efforts.
Social platforms like Wikipedia and YouTube, for instance, are recognized as rich sources of
information from around the globe, illustrating the educational value of social media (van den
Eijnden et al., 2018). Regular uploads of thousands of instructional and skill-building videos to
YouTube have assisted innumerable adolescents and adults in acquiring and refining various
valuable skills.
Enhancement of Creative Abilities: Enhanced Creativity Social media provides users
multiple routes for connecting with and interacting with others to create and share content on
various subjects and topics (van den Eijnden et al., 2018). When it comes to completing
assignments and engaging with others, one of the most excellent things social media can do for
teenagers is pushed them to come up with creative ideas that are not just variations on the same
old thing. As the primary users of most social media sites, teens can contribute to developing and
maintaining these platforms.
5
Mitigating social media’s effect on adolescents
A few things can be done to mitigate the social media effect on adolescents. First,
encouraging adolescents to only connect with people they know in real life on social media
platforms: Can help protect adolescents from being exposed to inappropriate or harmful content
from strangers (Guinta, 2018). It can help prevent them from being cyberbullied or targeted by
predators. Secondly, monitoring adolescents’ social media activity and being aware of the
content they are consuming and sharing: Allows adults to be aware of what adolescents are
seeing and sharing on social media and to intervene if necessary.
Additionally, teaching adolescents to be critical thinkers regarding the content they see
on social media and to question anything that does not seem accurate or trustworthy (Roberts &
David, 2019). This helps adolescents fact-check information they see on social media and avoid
sharing false or misleading information. Moreover, adolescents should be encouraged to report
offensive or inappropriate content on social media platforms.
Conclusion
Adolescents’ social media usage has many more harmful than positive effects on their
mental health. Teenagers tend to act impulsively without considering potential risks; hence,
regulations that recognize this and attempt to mitigate the consequences of this conduct online
may be more effective. Users can erase their content from social platforms like Facebook and
Twitter. In addition to parental oversight and counseling, schools may support and promote
responsible online behavior among children. Finally, it is important to monitor adolescents’
social media use and be there to support them if they are experiencing any adverse effects.
