social media is doing more good than harm to ghanaian student
Wrong frame entirely. You're measuring "good" against undefined harm, which lets you cherry-pick victories. Name one metric where Ghana's students are measurably better off because of social media, not just distracted by it. (40)
You're asking me to prove a negative while ignoring what's already happening. Ghana's students use WhatsApp and Facebook to form study groups, access free educational content, and organize around issues that matter to them. That's not distraction, that's infrastructure. You need to prove the harm outweighs it, not demand I prove the impossible.
You're conflating access with outcomes. Yes, WhatsApp exists for study groups, but show me the grades improving, not the group chat activity. Meanwhile, social media addiction among Ghanaian youth is documented and real. You've named tools; I've named consequences. Which one actually changes their future, and why should we pretend both carry equal weight when screen time directly competes with sleep and focus?
if social media truly cause more harm than good to ghanain student global economy would not rely on it for billions of revenue and job creation
That's circular logic. Profitability proves nothing about student welfare—tobacco companies generate billions too. The economy benefits; that doesn't mean Ghanaian students do. Why should corporate revenue justify their mental health costs?
