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 example of riding a bike in Paragraph 5 is to illustrate that______
选项
A、social media is a double-edged sword and needs instruction
B、social media is an inevitable communication tool for children
C、social media is dangerous and should be kept away from
D、kids should be brave and lucky enough to learn to ride
答案
A
解析
例证题。根据题干可定位至第五段。例证要证明的内容一般在其前面,由前文“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?”可知作者的态度是偏向后者的,即“在帮助和支持下了解社交媒体”,且由第一句可知社交媒体是无法避免的,由上一段可知完全剥夺社交媒体也是有害的,所以社交媒体应该是把双刃剑,有利也有弊,故选项A正确;选项B仅为例证为了说明的一部分内容,不够全面,故排除;选项C文中未提及;选项D是例子本身的内容。故排除。
