13. Some other aspects:
•Some pages or groups on sites like facebook
spreading discrimination…
•Discrimination like cultural, religious and
many other …
•Videos or pictures posted on these pages
cause fights which destroy the peace.

14. •These sites have now become a need of every person
•But the use should be limited
•By keeping the advantages and disadvantages of these sites in
mind
•One should keep it self away from those things that cause
problem for own life and other lives connected.
