    The Impact of New Media on Youths in the Age of Globalisation: A Study of Youths in Aligarh
    (Sandpiper Publishers, 2025) Faizan Haque
    This paper aims to understand how new media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Snapchat) have impacted the young generation in India. Globalisation has greatly shrunk the world, and the availability of new media globally has exacerbated its impacts. All programs, websites, or blogs that allow people all over the world to interact online, exchange ideas, and make video calls, among many other functions are considered new media. Almost half of the world's population is thought to be active on Facebook and Instagram. Social media has a significant influence on society and stakeholders, and it fosters the creation of virtual communities. New media began as an interaction between people using new forms of technology, and the conversations became increasingly public. Marx said that a change in mode of production (technology) would bring about a change in social relationships, and since a couple of decades, we have been observing how our relationships have changed. It affects our social life both positively and negatively. It also has to be responsible for the rise of mental health problems among young people since it has so thoroughly intoxicated the more youthful members of society that they possess complete dependence on these platforms. This paper is primarily based on the information and content analysis gathered through a critical analysis of available related literature and interviews with youths who are more active and access more frequently on social networking sites.
