UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (20-Dec-2018) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Society of networking

To address the question, "Social media platforms have created a:", we'll need to analyze the options provided and select the most appropriate one based on the role of social media.

Let's examine each option:

  • Society of negativity: While social media can sometimes encourage negative interactions or spread negative content, it is not its core function or the primary outcome of its existence.
  • Society of consumables: Social media is indeed a place where consumable content is abundant, but the term "society of consumables" doesn’t fully capture the comprehensive role of social media.
  • Society of networking: This option accurately describes the main feature of social media, which is to provide a platform for individuals to connect, communicate, and expand their networks globally. Social media's primary purpose is networking and creating connections among people.
  • Society of reactionary opinions: While opinions and reactions are a significant part of social media interactions, this does not encompass the primary essence of social media, which is facilitating connections and communication.

Given the analysis above, the correct answer is Society of networking because social media platforms are essentially designed to enable and enhance networking among individuals across the globe.

Thus, the correct answer is: Society of networking.
