Social media is impacting both positively and negatively on Indian society. Social media is the fruit of advanced science and technology with the outcoming result of globalization and liberalization. In this methodology, we can adopt a systematic methodology, which can give an accurate assessment of the use of social media by the young generation. Young people are knowingly and unknowingly addicted to social media, positively and negatively impacting their lives. The research results indicate that social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have become integral parts of modern life, each offering a range of advantages and unique opportunities for users. The implications of this research are the importance of understanding the roles played by social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in modern life.

This study, framed by the GRPI (Goal, Role, Process, and Interaction) teamwork model, explores team dynamics among nursing students in performing group assignments, utilizing a qualitative research design. Twenty-three nursing students from Year 1 to Year 4 at a nursing school in Macau were invited. Semi-structured personal interviews were carried out. In addition, three teachers who were involved in instructing and assessing group assignments of nursing students were also interviewed. Data were analyzed using inductive and deductive approaches. The study found that although the barriers to accomplishing effective teamwork were embedded into the four dimensions of the DRPI model, they were interplayed. Communication was fundamental for teamwork, thus leading to a modified DRPI model. Teammates did not equally share the workload. Despite interpersonal conflicts among teammates, nursing students managed to stay in superficial harmony with their peers. They became more familiar with teamwork while advancing into their senior years but with decreased group communications. This study highlights various factors preventing students from transferring individualism to team players. Teaming is not an equal learning opportunity for teammates. Culturally upheld value of harmony prevails in the interpersonal relationships of the team members, which may compromise the teamwork spirit cultivation expectations from the teachers.
