Socialization: The Internet’s Appeal
In this video, I talked about the agents of socialization and how they seem to have lost their potency due to the emergence, development, and sophistication of the internet. I talked about the Nigerian cultural setting and how people in one social background found it easy to establish closer bonds or relationships in the past.
I talked about my life as a toddler and as an adult and how people now lean closer to social spaces to meet their needs for socialization. I talked about how this current generation is living the lone syndrome.
Being more influential on the internet and having almost no physical presence. I talked about how my generation has slowly become digitized and how this digitization has led people to live in their separate worlds.
I talked about the appeal to be more relevant in social spaces and how people camouflage their real-life issues with the life they live on the internet. The closure they get from having no one to judge them and how this creates bigger avenues for psychological issues like depression.
