Social Media Mental

Hast du dir schon mal überlegt, wie sehr Social Media unseren Alltag prägt? Sicherlich, es ist ein Ort, an dem wir uns vernetzen, unsere Meinungen teilen und die Welt aus unseren Augen betrachten können. Aber was, wenn diese Plattformen mehr als nur unsere Gedanken einfangen?

The philosopher Susan Neiman argues that the absence of appealing models of maturity is not an accident: By describing life as a downhill process, we prepare young people to expect - and demand - very little from it. In Why Grow Up?, she challenges our culture of permanent adolescence, turning to thinkers including Kant, Rousseau, and Arendt to find a model of maturity that is not a matter of resignation. In growing up, we move from the boundless trust of childhood to the peculiar mixture of disappointment and exhilaration that comes with adolescence.

Mindlessly, your fingers move across the screen, and content, from selfies to memes, flickers by at a blistering pace.

Gender equality is a moral and a business imperative. But unconscious bias holds us back, and de-biasing people’s minds has proven to be difficult and expensive. Diversity training programs have had limited success, and individual effort alone often invites backlash. Behavioral design offers a new solution. By de-biasing organizations instead of individuals, we can make smart changes that have big impacts.

Science doesn't speak for itself. Neck-deep in work that can be messy and confounding and naïve in the ways of public communication, scientists are often unable to package their insights into the neat narratives that the public requires. Enter celebrities, advocates, lobbyists, and the funders behind them, who take advantage of scientists' reluctance to provide easy answers, flooding the media with misleading or incorrect claims about health risks. In Bad Advice, Paul A. Offit shares hard-earned wisdom on the dos and don'ts of battling misinformation.

Que se passe-t-il donc dans la tête d’un Homo sapiens lorsqu’une passion amoureuse l’entraîne dans la déraison et les extravagances? Ou bien lorsqu’une animosité en lui se transforme en sentiment de haine ? Les neurosciences nous éclairent maintenant très bien sur ces deux pulsions – amour, haine – qui sont, l’une et l’autre, des rouages essentiels à notre survie. Elles constituent des processus neuronaux ancestraux encore sollicités et restés très actifs.

A long time ago, people connected because they talked to each other and interacted to one another. Families spent time tightening bonds and kids spent more time outdoors, doing kid stuff and making new friends. We had print, and soon the radio, but we had each other. It could only get better. And then things changed, and we had little mobile devices that were supposed to make life easier — yes, supposed to because while they made communication less challenging for us, things got a little bit more complicated.

Let's take stock of young America. Compared to previous generations, American youth have more schooling (college enrollments have never been higher); more money ($100 a week in disposable income); more leisure time (five hours a day); and more news and information (Internet, The Daily Show, RSS feeds). What do they do with all that time and money? They download, upload, IM, post, chat, and network. (Nine of their top ten sites are for social networking.) They watch television and play video games (2 to 4 hours per day).
