Youth and Internet Addiction in China

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the contrasting perspectives on internet use among young people and their parents in China. While youth view the internet as a necessary escape from societal pressures, parents often perceive it as a form of addiction, seeking psychiatric intervention. The author suggests that the real issue may stem from parents and authority figures who impose unrealistic expectations, pushing young people to adhere to the superficial values of a consumer-driven society, rather than addressing the underlying challenges faced by the youth.
