Thesis:
The mental health crisis is rising; therefore, we believe Facebook should implement system a
that periodically provides solutions to this issue. (1 Page)
Introduction/Change: (1/2 Page)
Social media platforms can harm society’s mental health through many hindering factors
including poor self-image, cyber bullying, comparison, etc. The mental health crisis is increasing
by the day, and we believe Facebook is contributing to this cause. We want Facebook users to be
aware of this situation by integrating a reminder system that notifies users of the threat that the
platform provides. We believe that this will reduce the rise in poor mental health as it will
remind users to be more cautious of their actions within the Facebook community.
