communication and social-culture in modern media

We are now in the age of information explosion. Based on different social and cultural backgrounds, educators should focus on strengthening the critical thinking of learners to reduce misunderstandings in communication.

In the social-cultural view, messages are products of negotiation: All participants must arrive at shared meaning for successful communication. The degree of social interaction within the group is also an important factor affecting communication.

Meanwhile ，the effect of social media communication can be examined from two dimensions: on the micro level, the effect of directed communication is significant, the information is transmitted based on the real friend status, and the feedback from the audience is timely. The rise of community groups has made the internal viscosity of this group stronger. Within the group, the speed of information dissemination will be extremely rapid. At the same time, social media interpersonal relationships tend to form “weak links” interpersonal relationships.

The adolescent period is an important period of socialization. The socialization of this stage belongs to the basic socialization stage and has a profound impact on their future development. Social media is like a double-edged sword, which has a huge impact on adolescents’ personality, psychology, social life, way of thinking, and interpersonal relationships. While enriching the lives of young people, social networks have also had some negative impacts on them, making them face difficulties in mastering the socialization of skills regulation, cultural heritage, value establishment, social interaction, personality shaping, and role-playing. Therefore, using sociology and psychology related theories to analyze and make recommendations on the socialization of young people under the influence of social media is not only of theoretical significance but also of practical significance.
