Analyze social and communication phenomena for you, and make suggestions for dry goods
Today classmate A came to me, he couldn't hold on anymore and finally broke up with his girlfriend.
He cried to me and said
Why is the gap between people so large?
The gap between people, and sometimes with people and pigs, is large
(Trivia: Compared with the DNA of humans and pigs, 84% of the DNA is similar)
The gap between you can certainly be explained by this theory, which is the knowledge gap.
What is the knowledge gap?
Directly on dry goods: Ideologically, the rich are richer and the poor are poorer
Rich people often get their hands on news faster than the poor, especially in the internet age, where the more information there is, the more the knowledge gap between the two tends to widen.
The theory was proposed by a research group at Minnesota State University, Philip Tichner, Donohue, and Orion, and published in 1970 the article "Mass Communication Flows and the Growth of Knowledge Differences." After 26 years of social surveys and statistics, a phenomenon was found: as the mass media disseminated more and more information, more and more developed, information access channels became more and more abundant, but the gap between people of different social classes widened.

The "knowledge gap" affects people where people are
The basis of the knowledge gap is that the channels of dissemination of information have been enriched, and the degree of popularization of information has been well improved.
However, because of the economic gap between the two, the speed of information acquisition between the two is different, resulting in a growing information gap between the poor and the rich.
The first thing that affects is people's vision
The rich have more news, and because as the number of messages increases, the rich already have a certain ability to identify and judge the value of the news.
The poor have long been in a relatively small range of information, even in a place with more information, the poor have no way to judge the value of information.
This is what we are saying, fundamentally, economic status determines a person's vision.
Influence people's choices and judgments
The importance of resources is known to everyone. In society, without exception, those with higher socio-economic status have more abundant resources in their hands. If this resource is likened to a chip, then for the publication of information of the same conditions, those with higher socio-economic status will have faster and more efficient access to valuable information. More importantly, they have enough leverage to use this information and realize their own value.
This phenomenon is common in life, such as ancestral trades, passed down from generation to generation. Or for further education, those with higher socio-economic status, due to the abundance of resources, have more opportunities or chips to make choices and continue their studies. Those with lower socioeconomic status may be forced by the pressure of life to choose to quickly integrate into the workplace and seek a life.
In the case of the transmission of information under the same conditions, those with higher socioeconomic status, with their superior vision and rich resources, can make better use of information, improve themselves, and better realize their life value. People with lower socio-economic conditions are more likely to favor social labor.
How to Bridge the "Knowledge Gap"
Directly on dry goods:
1, contact with new things, do not limit to the status quo.
2. Grasp the information and judge the value of the information.
3. Learning is a channel across classes.
Point 1 and point 2 are spoken by adults who have basically settled down economically, while point 3 is said to children and parents.
Elaborate
First, based on what we call the model above, the gap in knowledge arises between the rich and the poor because they acquire the same information faster than the poor. Then the solution is also based on this model, that is, to get more information, to listen to the six ways, to see the eight directions, since I can get information at a speed that is not as good as yours, then I get more information, from the number of more than you to fill this ditch.
The second point is that now is an information-rich era, which can be seen on various platforms, even if it is any bit of information, someone will propose analysis, and many times since you do not have the ability to analyze information, then listen to the analysis of others (watch the news as much as possible!). and prepare yourself for future actions.
Third, learning is a top priority, and learning is a very fair track across classes today. Children from poor families also want to get information across classes and become a person with certain financial ability, and it is really important to learn in today's society. Through the fair national examination to study in big cities, then the resource information you see will be different from those in those small places, which is a very important fundamental way to fill the knowledge gap.
