I need an analytical research paper. The paper should cover the role platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook play in shaping people’s perceptions and beliefs, especially around major events (e.g., elections, social movements). Please provide examples and some recent studies or data if possible. I need a clear introduction, body paragraphs with well-supported arguments, and a concise conclusion.
