As the Internet becomes more and more popular, games, an electronic product that people love and hate, has become an indispensable entertainment method in our lives. But it is precisely because of this that the game has caused some social problems, which has always been at the forefront. You can search online for negative news about game addiction.
Actually, playing is human nature, and games are a way of learning and entertainment that has existed since ancient times. Every era has its own way of playing, which is an indispensable part of human activities. The emergence of the Internet allows games to open up new worlds for us in the form of electronics, and the reason why it is deeply loved by people is mainly because it allows you to experience a different life.
And the so-called addiction is actually a physiological problem. The nucleus accumbens in the brain continuously transmits the dopamine signal to form excited memory, that is, addictive memory. Without the intervention of the main consciousness, the excitement memory in the limbic system will force us to continue to search and repeat the corresponding excitement stimuli, thus forming an addictive pattern. In other words, dopamine is enriched by your desire to indulge in games. What you actually feel is not how cool it is, but the brain rewards you get through the game.
However, in the eyes of many people, loving to play games is a kind of act of losing one's ambition. They regard playing games as an Internet addiction and include this addictive symptoms in the " International Disease Classification ", and the kind cannot be cured by drugs and simple psychology alone. Especially for teenagers, many parents have no choice but to take their own children, so they blame all the blame on the game, thinking that if they play the game, they will become losers in society and regard the game as a disaster.
These parents are either laziness, thinking or cognitive bias, or thinking that the above is really too difficult, or they are misled by some public opinion... In the end, they choose to simply and roughly blame all the problems on games and the Internet, thinking that depriving children of their ways to access games and the Internet can allow children to grow up healthily, but they do not give children the opportunity to gain normal interests and hobbies at all. Deprive happiness - negative resistance, double oppression, family education begins to sink continuously in the vicious cycle. This also shows the "waste" children in the eyes of parents.
As the saying goes, there is a market for demand. For children who want to make their children live as they "want", there is a so-called "Internet addiction treatment center". The most famous one was the Linyi Internet Rehabilitation Center founded by Yang Yongxin more than ten years ago. The essence of treating Internet addiction is actually very simple - electric shock. They make people surrender through pain, rely on "militarized management" to maintain order, and "excellent" cases that have been "cured" attract more parents in need. This can be regarded as a so-called word-of-mouth transmission?
I have to say that this "physical therapy" method is really simple and effective, with outstanding results. Then batches of children were sent to these correction institutions, saying that they were treating Internet addiction, but in fact they were erasing their human nature. More and more praise made them (Yang Yongxin and other Internet addiction quit) more crazy and unscrupulous, so one tragedy after another was repeated. Although their atrocities were eventually made public, more than 7,000 children were forever completely destroyed by them.
More than ten years have passed, and the Internet is no longer a new and strange thing. Yang Yongxin has been relying on demonizing the Internet for ten years and collecting huge treatment fees from Chinese parents. The children who were electrocuted by Yang Yongxin back then have grown up. Some have completely lost trust in their parents, run away from home and basically cut off contact with their families, and some have tried suicide many times, or even completely disappeared.
We also said above that addiction is a physiological problem. This kind of addiction can be to play games, eat, watch TV, play basketball, etc. Abandoning life is never because of a single thing.Some people are greedy and become gourmets, while others are addicted to eating, and become a pile of meat paste. What can determine success or failure is often how much subjective initiative you exert in something and how much things that are beneficial to yourself and the world. If the direction is right, hard work will bring you high-value things. At this time, why not waste it?
People think that games are always just an entertainment project, there is no distinction between good and bad. What should be "treated" may be education, a way of family communication, and a social care, but it is definitely not just a game.
I heard that a game recently appeared about Yang Yongxin's incident, called "Flying Over Room 13", and the game also tells stories about Internet addiction and redemption. The game has now started a free trial demo and will be officially launched soon. I hope that interested players can take a look.
Finally, I want to say that everything has a degree of degree, and excessive will become an addiction, and addiction also has good or bad. As long as it is moderate or not bad, it does not require treatment. After all, our lives are under a lot of pressure, and it really doesn’t matter if we have a little hobby or addiction. As for education, I believe that after we came out of that era, after being deeply tempered by Chinese-style education, we can truly let our children become themselves and grow up naturally and healthily.
