(June 4, 2007)
p>In recent years, the *** Youth League organization has conscientiously implemented a series of requirements of the Central Committee on doing a good job in Internet work, closely combined the characteristics of the Internet and the reality of young people, and mobilized and guided young people to actively participate in the construction of Internet culture and strive to contribute to the development of Internet culture. Active efforts have been made to create a civilized and healthy online environment for the growth of young people. Now we will make a comprehensive report on the relevant understanding and work situation.
1. Strengthening the construction of Internet culture is of great significance to promoting the healthy growth of young people
In the process of rapid development of the Internet, the Internet has profoundly shaped young people, and young people have effectively promoted the development of the Internet. Over the years, in carrying out youth network work, we have increasingly realized that strengthening the construction of network culture is of great significance in promoting the healthy growth of teenagers.
First, young people are an important force in the construction of Internet culture, and the Internet has constituted an important environment for the growth of young people. Contemporary teenagers are the generation that grew up in the Internet era, and they are the main group of people using the Internet. According to statistics, the current number of Internet users in mainland my country has reached 144 million, of which 82.5 are adolescent Internet users. Internet users spend an average of nearly 17 hours online per week, and adolescent Internet users spend more time online than other Internet users. Young people are also the main group of people participating in network construction. Among my country's IT practitioners, more than 80% of young people under the age of 35 account for more than 80%. The majority of young people are also widely active in online cultural forms such as forums, blogs, and podcasts. As the creators and first users of new information and communication technologies, young people have injected important power into the development of the Internet with their creative Internet cultural practices. To strengthen the construction of Internet culture, we must pay attention to and give full play to the role of young people.
Second, the impact of the Internet on the growth of teenagers has both positive and negative aspects. The Internet provides a large amount of information, broadens the horizons of young people, updates their knowledge concepts, provides convenient channels for young people to study, live, entertain and make friends, and has become a close partner of young people. On the other hand, the disorderly, virtual, hidden characteristics of the Internet and the spread of bad information on the Internet have also brought some negative effects to some young people. Among them, they have ideological confusion, a weakened sense of morality, a decreased sense of responsibility, Internet addiction, and even Internet addiction. Crime and other issues. Some problems that arise online have even spawned into real-life social problems for teenagers. To strengthen the construction of Internet culture, we must do a good job in helping young people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in the Internet environment.
Third, creating a civilized and healthy online environment for the growth of young people is a very important and urgent task. In the complex online world, teenagers are the group of people who need key guidance and protection. Adolescents are in a critical period of physical and mental development. Their abilities of discrimination and self-control are not yet strong, and they are easily affected by influences from all aspects. Teenagers are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. Whether they can grow up in a healthy and civilized online environment is related to the growth of a generation and the future and destiny of the country. It can be expected that with the continuous development of the economy and society, the Internet and the growth of young people will be more closely integrated. The task of strengthening the construction of young people's online culture is very urgent and arduous. We should make the Internet truly a good teacher and helpful friend for the growth of young people, and we should not allow harmful information on the Internet to harm the growth of young people. Effectively strengthening the construction of Internet culture and creating a healthy and civilized Internet environment for young people should become the common sense of the whole society.
The Party Central Committee has always attached great importance to youth network work. Central leaders have repeatedly emphasized the need to strengthen network construction and strive to make the Internet a new window for young people to obtain knowledge and information; strengthen management, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and actively eliminate the negative impact of the Internet on young people. The Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Civilization Office of the CPC Central Committee, and the Foreign Propaganda Office of the CPC Central Committee have made arrangements on many occasions to use online education to guide young people.
This has laid a solid foundation for us to actively respond to the impact of the Internet on youth and youth work, and to effectively do a good job in youth Internet work under the new situation.
