In the bustling city, people are busy shuttling between high-rise buildings, their faces are happy or sad, constituting a vivid social picture. However, behind this seemingly calm, there are some strange things that make people laugh and cry.
One day, Li Qiang and Wang Gang, two old friends, met in a café, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, they began to talk about their respective lives and experiences.
"You know, I recently discovered something very strange." Wang Gang said mysteriously.
"Oh? What surprised you so much? Li Qiang asked curiously.
"It's our society, there are a lot of strange things that make people laugh and cry." Wang Gang sighed and began to count them.
"For example, people nowadays love to watch short videos, eating, walking, and going to bed. I have a colleague who doesn't even go to work in order to watch short videos, and spends his mobile phone at home all day long, and he is about to become a 'mobile phone slave'. ”
After Li Qiang heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I also heard that short videos are really popular now, but you can't overindulge in them." ”
"Also, people like to follow the trend nowadays. Wasn't it popular some time ago to be an 'Internet celebrity check-in place'? As soon as those places became popular, people flocked to take pictures and check in, regardless of whether they liked it or not. Wang Gang continued.
"I've noticed this too, as if I don't follow the trend and don't fit in." Li Qiang sighed.
"Also, people are very 'homely' nowadays. My neighbor's children stay at home all day playing games and watching anime, and they don't even go out. His parents were dead, worried that he would become a 'social block' in the future. Wang Gang shook his head and said.
"It's a real problem, today's kids are becoming more and more dependent on electronic devices and less able to communicate with people." Li Qiang is also worried.
"Let's talk about the current workplace. Many companies promote the '996' work system, and employees have to work overtime late every day, and there is no time to spend time with their families and enjoy life. I have a friend who ended up in health because of long-term overtime work and quit his job to recuperate at home. Wang Gang sighed.
"I also know that the '996' work system is really unbearable. But some people can only endure in silence in order to live. Li Qiang said helplessly.
"Also, people nowadays are very concerned about appearance. You see that on those social platforms, there are handsome men and beautiful women posting selfies. In order to pursue beauty, some people even do not hesitate to have plastic surgery and makeup to the point that they cannot recognize themselves. This kind of atmosphere is really bad. Wang Gang shook his head.
"Yes, the appearance is important, but the more important thing is the inside. Excessive pursuit of appearance will only make people lose themselves. Li Qiang agrees.
"Also, people are very 'quick' nowadays. I want to learn everything quickly and succeed quickly. You see those crash courses, training courses, all cater to this kind of mentality. But how can real success be so easy? Wang Gang continued.
"You're right. Success takes time and effort, and it can't be achieved overnight. This kind of 'quick fix' mentality will only make people impetuous. Li Qiang also agreed.
"Finally, I would like to talk about 'cyber violence'. Nowadays, it is easy for people to make radical statements and attack others on the Internet. Some have even lost their lives to online violence. This phenomenon is really scary. Wang Gang said in a heavy tone.
"That's true. The Internet should be a platform for communication, not a place to vent emotions. We should learn to respect others and use the Internet in a civilized manner. Li Qiang was also indignant.
The two chatted for a long time, and the more they talked, the more excited they became. They realize that these strange things have penetrated into all corners of society, affecting people's lives and mindsets. They can't help but wonder: Why are these strange things happening? Is it an inevitable product of social progress, or is it a manifestation of an imbalance in people's mentality?
In order to understand the reasons behind these strange things, Li Qiang and Wang Gang decided to conduct an investigation. They interviewed people of different ages and professions and listened to their views and experiences. Through investigation, they found that the occurrence of these strange phenomena is related to many factors such as social environment, cultural background, and education system.
First of all, the rapid changes in the social environment make people feel uneasy and anxious. In this era of fierce competition, people have to endure tremendous pressure in order to survive and thrive. This kind of pressure makes them impetuous, eager for quick success, which gives rise to strange conditions such as the "quick success" mentality and the "996" work system.
Secondly, the influence of cultural background cannot be ignored. Modern society focuses on material pursuits and external performance, making people pay too much attention to appearance and material comforts. In this cultural context, it is easy for people to lose themselves and pursue the glamour on the surface while ignoring the real needs of the heart.
Finally, the shortcomings of the education system are also one of the reasons for these anomalies. Traditional test-oriented education focuses on scores and grades, ignoring students' interests and personality development. The talents cultivated under this education system often lack the innovative spirit and practical ability, and it is difficult to adapt to the needs of modern society.
Through investigation and reflection, Li Qiang and Wang Gang deeply realized the harm and impact of these strange conditions on society. They decided to call on society to pay attention to these problems in various ways and jointly find solutions. They launched a public welfare campaign to educate the public about the causes and harms of these social disorders through a combination of online and offline methods, and encouraged everyone to actively participate in discussions and propose solutions.
As the event progressed, more and more people began to pay attention to these issues and join the discussion. They have expressed that they should cherish their lives and time, maintain independent thinking and innovation ability, and pay attention to internal cultivation and quality improvement
