Mathias believes that social networking tools have worked against the societal norms that define the young generation's behavior because most believe if they are not using social media, they are outdated. The ‘Fakebook generation’ no longer respects their culture or their elders, they want to fit in a society that they believe is the best for them without factoring in the ideas and guidance from their elders.
To some extent, I agree with Mathias, and in most cases, I disagree with her. Yes, the “Fakebook Generation’ could have decayed morals, but exactly what has contributed to that, Facebook alone? Or is it a combination of many factors that has created a fake generation? I believe society has a lot to do to ensure the youth are not lost and that Facebook and other social networks do not make them forget their societal values. Despite most of them believing that they need to use social media to have a sense of belonging among their peers, parents, and society at large have a role to play to ensure the social norms are not thrown to the dogs. Mathias believes in a worldview that tends to make a general assumption about the youth, which is not always correct as different countries and different cultures have people behaving differently (Kirszner & Mandell, 2013).
