We’ve had waves of panic around technology for decades, whether it be comic books or video games. Now it happens to be social media. And the fact of the matter is that parents and teachers, who are trying to raise their kids in the face of these panics, are being poorly served by the government when it comes to getting meaningful advice.
It’s not that social media is good or bad for people. It’s that the science of social media and mental health is broken. We need to do research, but we shouldn’t be approaching it from the perspective that the world is ending. We need to be curious and open to the possibility of its effects, positive and negative.
What makes things trickier when it comes to social media is that the social media companies control the data, so it’s much harder to study. Put it this way, if I wanted to study bullying in 1980, I could go to a school, a playground, the local bowling alley, and I could basically capture a snapshot in the life of an adolescent. If I want to study bullying in 2021, I couldn’t get a full picture of exactly what’s happening because the social media companies hold all the data. Bullying online might not be any worse than it happening face-to-face, but if it’s happening behind closed doors I can’t study or understand it.
The danger for policymakers or parents is that if you pretend that social media is a problem, without having evidence, and you take steps to regulate it, the intervention could end up being really bad for young people. You might be taking away a lifeline for vulnerable kids or deprive them of their human right to play. So that’s why I’m not going to tell you that I know social media is bad.
It’s perfectly reasonable for parents and teachers to be concerned about social media, but it’s out there, it’s unavoidable and young people are going to encounter it sooner or later. So what would you rather do; keep them in the dark and leave them ill-equipped to deal with it or let them learn about social media with your help and support? It’s a little like learning to ride a bike. Bikes can be huge fun to ride, but you can also hurt yourself on them, which is why you don’t just give your kid a bike and a helmet and wish them good luck. You help them learn to ride.
Whether you’re a grown up or a kid, ask yourself why you’re using social media. Is it because you want to, or because you feel you have to? If you’re doing it because you feel you have to and it’s making you unhappy, you may want to try and stop.
The comparison drawn in Paragraph 3 is to_________.
选项
A、show the pros and cons of social media
B、show the seriousness of bullying today
C、emphasize the difficulty of study in social media
D、illustrate the harmfulness of school bullying
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干可定位至第三段。由“What makes things trickier when it comes to social media is that the social media companies control the data,so it’s much harder to study”“对于社交媒体来说,更棘手的是社交媒体公司控制着数据,所以研究起来要困难得多”可知,在社交媒体中做研究很困难,因为公司控制着数据,我们很难全面了解到底发生了什么,紧接着的对比则进一步强调这个结论,故选项C正确;选项A为无中生有,故排除;选项B和选项D中出现的bullying则都是对比的具体内容,故排除。
