Everything for sale - net generation relationship trap

Abstract

Objectives Adults are anxious about young people's extremely intense and often non-alternative involvement in the virtual world. Research increasingly shows that adolescents are more likely to interact with their peers in social networks than in face-to-face relationships, and many of the behaviors favored by previous generations have been outclassed and replaced by virtual preferences. Jean Tweenge, who studies the specificity of generations since the second half of the twentieth century, emphasizes that this is a phenomenon that has not happened in any previous generation, from the boomers of the 1960s to. However, when we analyze this phenomenon more closely, it turns out that it was both predictable and inevitable, and yet beyond the adaptation skills of all participants in modern life. Material and methods Social concept - analysis Results Concept Conclusions Zygmunt Bauman (2000) believes that the identity symbol of modern man is a vagabond. I find this comparison particularly apt. We more often come into contact with other people "for a moment", play a role "for a moment", and function in a group "for a moment". In this situation, it is more important that we do well in front of this temporary audience than work on ourselves in the hope that someday the community in which we live will appreciate our efforts. However, the costs we incur of these temporary relationships and friendships are extremely high. These undoubtedly include the lack of permanent normative references, the uncertainty of one's status, unstable self-esteem, the impermanence of friendship, and above all, the lack of a sense of being rooted and loneliness.
