 The role of technology in social life and the impact of mobile phones, social networks and video games are explored. The popularity of mobile phones has changed the way society communicates and socializes, but it has also increased people's dependence on mobile phones. The emergence of social networks provides people with a way to connect, but it may also record some bad behaviors and have a negative impact on the future. There are gender inequalities in social networks and video games, and video games have different effects on players' health and behavior, including enhancing visual attention and possibly leading to problems such as tobacco and drug use and depression. Although controversial, the effects of video games are generally considered to have a small impact on behavior.

Interesting Points

Video games are more than just entertainment; they can have positive or negative effects on players’ brains, including effects on visual attention, reaction speed, and behavioral patterns.

Social networks and video games reflect real-world gender biases, presented through game content and gender roles in online interactions.

Video games can serve as training tools, improving players’ visual attention and reaction speed, which may have positive effects on real-life cognitive abilities.


Discussion Points

What measures should the government and society take to deal with the negative impact of video games?

    The government should strengthen supervision of electronic game content, formulate strict content review standards, and promote the concept of healthy games. All sectors of society should also actively participate, such as schools strengthening education and guidance, parents strengthening supervision, and game companies exercising self-discipline. All parties should work together to jointly deal with the negative impact of electronic games and ensure the healthy growth of young people.

 1. Summary Arnett described the goal of socialization as follows. 1. Impulse control and development of conscience. 2. Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3. The source of meaning, the cultivation of what is important, valuable, and to live. Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in social life. Socialization is relative to culture and does not force evaluation judgments. Since socialization is the adoption of culture, it differs from culture to culture and from subculture to culture. It should be noted that socialization is a key sociological process in the development of individuals who can function in human society, but not all aspects of human behavior are learned. Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs early in life in childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs througho...

W12.1 Blog for reading materials

1.Summary Goffman's dramaturgical theory has been applied to various social phenomena, including social movements, online identity construction, and theatrical performances. 2.Discussion The pursuit of essence is human beings' superficial understanding of things, and the pursuit of differences is human beings' deep understanding of things. Essence can be applied and labeled. It is a superficial understanding of things and is the process of people's understanding of the world. Lazy means. It is believed that as long as you master the essence of things, you have mastered everything about them, that is, you can transform cognition into action. Therefore, I believe that constructing essence is the first step to understand things, and constructing differences is the most important thing to understand things. People should construct their understanding of differences by constructing essence. Whether it is playing games, reading novels, getting drunk, or skydiving, all kinds o...
