Here are some solutions that help to reduce it.-Vietnam used to forbade Facebook to frustrate the increase the users and prevent the information leaked. Now, alth ough the government allowed to use Facebook, however, they still conspire the awareness to reduce the number of Facebook users.-Some family in Vietnam allow their children to access Facebook in a certain time, also call it the curfew time.

However, that solution still have some advantages and disadvantages effect to Vietnamese peopleAdvantagesThe previous part had mentioned some good effect of having communication class, it will help the users have more confident and communication skill to have a good conversation in the real life.The second benefit of communication is that the users will have a true feelings about everything. For example, a man always uses Facebook will never have a real perceptions, because Facebook cant transmit the true feelings of human, although Facebook have the emotion icon on messenger, however, that is not enough to let people know the fe elling of each other. With the true feelings, human can build up a good relationship with each other.The last benefit of the communication skills is creating a strong attraction for people. If someone have good communication skills, that one will have more attraction to the other people.DisadvantagesAlthough teaching communication skill is the best solution, it still have some disadvantages. Because the communication class is very new with Vietnamese people, some people dont want to learn it. To have good communication skills, the learner have to spend a lot of time learning it, so it cost to much time to learn.ConclusionTo sum up, although Facebook have a lot of benefits, it also cause some bad effect to Vietnamese people.

Furthermore, Vietnamese people should learn to communicate with other people to reduce the bad effect of Facebook.ReferencesCompany Info Facebook Newsroom.
