Adolescents and the Internet

Subject:

Psychology

Order Description
The internet is thought to be one of the transforming agents in our culture today. Most adolescents have internet connections at home, but along with the many benefits of the internet, there is an enormous cost. For example, among the opportunities offered with social networking, there are opportunities for sexual predators to prey on children and adolescents. Likewise, with the ability to locate information and images at the click of a button, there is also access to thousands of internet pornographic sites. On one hand, the internet is a powerful tool, and on the other hand, it is a potentially devastating agent.
