Youth and Internet Addiction in China

Meer over het boek

The book explores the phenomenon of internet use among Chinese youth, often labeled as 'internet addiction' by concerned parents. It highlights the contrasting perspectives of young people, who view online engagement as a necessary escape from societal pressures, and their parents, who advocate for strict academic focus. The author suggests that the real issue may stem from parents and authority figures imposing unrealistic expectations, ultimately reflecting the shortcomings of a consumer-driven society that devalues individual well-being.
