网络对大学生的影响调查报告

随着信息技术的发展和完善,网络时代已经来临。“网络文化”已经成为大学校园中的一种新的文化现象。一些专家学者不无夸张地说,“网络文化”是继语言文字的产生和形成,以及活字印刷的发明之后,人类文化发展的第四个里程碑。目前,这一新兴文化正在以前所未有的速度在我国迅速普及。“网络文化”无论就其内容还是形式而言,都迥异于以往所有的文化,并对传统文化造成很大的冲击,其来势如黄河之水滔滔不绝,不能不引起我们的重视。那么,网络给大学生的生活和学习带来哪些冲击和变化呢?日前,我对我院中文系的四个教学班做了“网络对大学生的影响”问卷调查。下发问卷170份,收回150份,有效率约88%。

此次问卷的目的,是了解网络给大学生带来哪些正面影响和负面影响,以引起学校、家长和大学生本人的重视。因而,引导大学生正确地认识网络和利用网络。并最大限度地消除网络对大学生的负面影响。

一.正面影响

1.网络对大学生道德素质的影响

网络对大学生思想品德素质的积极影响主要体现为:网络已经成为思想政治教育的重要阵地,大学生访问这些网站,参加网站开展的各项活动,有助于增强爱国、爱党意识,有助于强化道德主体意识与地位。如在调查问卷中,学生对“网络的使用对社会道德水平的影响”的回答:网络的使用会提高社会道德水平占35%,网络的使用会降低社会道德水平占10%。这个结果表明网络对大学生的道德素质有一定的提升作用,并且是主要作用,但也存在着一定的负面影响。

2.网络对大学生智力素质的影响

网络对大学生智力素质的积极影响主要体现为:网络的开放性和方便性、内容的多样性和广泛性,为大学生提供了一个广阔的学习空间,大大拓宽了大学生的求知途径,有助于大学生开阔视野、促进学业;网络可以为大学生提供一种自由、轻松、没有压力的学习环境,有助于大学生培养和发挥创新能力;网络是一个广阔空间,存在着许多新鲜和未知的事物,有助于开发大学生的潜力。在“网络对你的影响主要有哪些方面?(多选)”问卷中A、开阔了视野,拓展了知识面占47%。B、认识很多朋友,通过与网友的交流,减轻学习或其他方面所造成的心理压力占39%。C、获取网络上丰富的教育资源,学习成绩得到提高占14%。D、花费太多时间上网而使成绩下降占12%。E、沉溺于网上娱乐,无心向学占7%。在这项调查中,前三项占的比例大足以说明网络对大学生的智力素质是有着积极的影响的。

3.网络对大学生社会适应能力的积极影响主要体现为:网络技术的飞速发展和信息传递的快捷,以及人机对话的平等的新型人际关系,有助于启发和引导大学生培养和形成学习、效率、平等、开放等现代观念;网络缩短了人与人之间的空间距离,有助于大学生扩大交往的范围;网上新型人际交往方式和社会关系的建立为大学生在现实社会中进行社会交往提供了一种缓冲的空间;网络还为大学生的社会化提供了角色的练兵场,有助于促进大学生的社会化。

The impact of Internet on College Students Report

With the development of information technology and improvement of the Internet age has arrived. "Network culture" has become a university campus in a new cultural phenomenon. Some experts and scholars, not without exaggeration to say that "network culture", following the emergence and formation of language, as well as the invention of moveable type, the human cultural development of the fourth milestone. At present, this emerging culture is at an unprecedented rate in China's rapidly growing popularity. "Network culture" regardless of its content or form, are quite different from all previous cultures, and caused great impact on traditional culture, their oncoming force, such as the Yellow River in full flight, can not but arouse our attention. Then, the network for college students living and studying What are the impacts and changes? Recently, I have four of my classes with the Department of Chinese hospital has done a "network effect on college students," questionnaire. 170 questionnaires were issued to recover the 150, there is efficiency of about 88%.

The purpose of this questionnaire is to understand the network for college students What are the positive impacts and negative impacts to attract schools, parents and students I attention. Thus, the guide college students a correct understanding of networks and use the Internet. And to maximize the network to eliminate the negative impact on college students.

1. A positive impact on

1. Moral quality of the network of college students

Ideological and moral quality of the Internet on college students mainly reflected the positive impact are: the network has become an important ideological and political education positions, college students visit these sites to participate in the activities of web site, help to strengthen patriotism, love for the party consciousness, help to strengthen the Moral consciousness and the status of the principal. If the questionnaire, the students of "the use of the network effects of social and moral standards," the answer: the use of the network will increase the level of social morality, 35%, the network will reduce the use of the level of social morality and 10%. This result suggests that the moral quality of the network of college students have a certain enhancement of the role and is a major role, but there are also some negative impact.

2. Intellectual qualities of the Internet on the impact of college students

Intellectual qualities of the Internet on college students mainly reflected the positive impact are: the network openness and convenience, the diversity and breadth of content, in order to provide students a broad learning space, greatly broadens the means to seek knowledge of university students to help students broadening their horizons, to promote studies; networks for college students to provide a free, relaxed, no pressure learning environment to help students develop and play an innovative capacity; network is a vast space, there are many new and unknown things, help on developing the potential of students. In the "network effects to your What are the main areas? (Multiple-choice)" questionnaire A, broadened horizons, expand their knowledge accounted for 47%. B, know a lot of friends, through the exchange of User, learning or other areas to reduce the psychological pressure caused by 39%. C, to obtain a wealth of educational resources on the network, improved academic

performance accounted for 14%. D, spending too much time online Ershi results fell 12%. E, indulge in online entertainment, the desire to learn account for 7%. In this survey, the first three proportion large enough to explain the intellectual qualities of the Internet on college students have a positive impact.

3. Internet on college students the positive impact of social adaptability is mainly reflected as follows: the rapid development of network technology and information transmission speed, as well as the equality of man-machine dialogue, new relationships, help to inspire and guide the students to cultivate and the formation of learning, efficiency, equity open and other modern concepts; networks shorten the distance between people the space to help students to expand the scope of interaction; online new interpersonal approach and the establishment of social relations for the university students carried out in the real world social interaction provides a buffer space; network for college students provides a role socialization training grounds, help to promote the socialization of university students.

不好的影响

However, there are also disadvantage of using Internet. For example, I might spend too much time on the Internet to concentrate on my study. Also, there is a chance that I am cheated because of the Internet purchasing. Last, Internet has lots of information, both helpful and harmful. There might be too much tempatation that I will access some of the harmful information I can on the Internet. Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.

例子2

随着科技的发展,电脑在二十一世纪成了人们必要的用品。随之而来,网络与我们的生活息息相关,给现代人的生活、工作带来了无与伦比的方便。

通过网络,我们能查寻有用的资料,了解时事动态等等.当你工作了很长时间后去玩电脑游戏,可以减缓你的精神压力,放松你的心情.并且,上网玩游戏也不完全是坏事,因为学生玩游戏可以锻炼手、脑的反应能力,满足学生娱乐需要。

但是网络也有弊。长时间的看电脑,电脑发出的辐射对人体有很大的害处。眼睛长期处于紧张状态容易造成近视。现在的电脑游戏众多,某些电脑游戏粗制滥造,甚至含有暴力等不健康内容。有的孩子由于对社会认识不足和自我保护意识缺乏,沉迷网络游戏,网络交友。

其实网络并不可怕,只要我们面对网络时多一些认识,网络就会成为我们学习上的有利助手。让我们一起创个干净的网络世界吧!

With the development of the science and technology, the computer has been becmoing the necessity for people in the 21st Century. Following, network is of close link with our life,bringing us incomparable convenience on our life and work.

Through the network,we can search for useful datas and get to know the current events.When you play computer games after a long-time work,it can relieve your pressure and make you feel relaxed.Besides,playing online games is not all bad,for it can fulfil students' entertaining requests as well as practise their response ability. However, there still exists some disadvantages in the network.The radiation from the computer will do harm to people's health if you keep on watching the computer for a long time.And short sight may caused by it for your eyes stay tense.At present,there are too many games on the Internet,but some of them are not of good quality even contain some unhealthy content like violence and so on.Duo to the lack of recognizing society and self-protection awareness,some students get addicted in the games and online dating.

In fact,network is not that horrible,as long as we know more about it,it will become our right hand on our studies.Let's build a clean network world together.

Topic1 Health Health, by definition, is a state of physical, mental and social well-being. It implies the absence of infirmity or disease, but their mere absence does not mean health. Earning and maintaining health is an active process. Good health is a result of proper nutrition, regular exercise, health care and hygiene. One of the most important factors determining the mental health of an individual is his/her happiness quotient. Hence, effective stress management forms a vital factor in remaining healthy. What should we do to keep healthy in our daily life? Firstly, try to be less materialistic and keep your life simple. It is really unnecessary to keep up with the joneses. Why do you buy a car if you can avail of public transport? Secondly, to be healthy also includes being mentally healthy. It’s another important guaranty for people to live or work well. Control your mind. What you think and how you think affect your general well-being. Refuse to entertain negative or self-derogatory thoughts and emotions. Thirdly, exercise regularly. Go for a short run every morning and exercise your eyes regularly, especially if you spend a lot of time in front of the computer. If you have to run errands around the neighborhood, walk or cycle around. Walk up stairways instead of taking the lift. Here, I want to share a sentence with you,

To review the impact of women becoming high earners. B. To contemplate the philosophy underlying individualism. C. To examine the trend of young people living alone. D. To stress the rebuilding of personal relationships. Passage Two American dramas and sitcoms would have been candidates for prime time several years ago. But those programs -though some remain popular -increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world -including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV -is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows -the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s -studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is,how ants,bees or any social animal,including humans,behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome,Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani,a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology,described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance,by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store,forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes,also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information,and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.
