What is addiction • Addiction has been defined as physical and psychological dependence on various things • People with an addiction do not have a control about what they are doing.
Addictions do not only include physical things we consume, such as drugs or alcohol. • It may includes anything, for example abstract things like gambling.
My presentation is focused on internet addiction, mainly addiction on Facebok, because I think it´s a big problem of teenagers. I also give a tips how to protect yourself on the internet.
Addiction symptoms • Addicted people are moody, depressed when they don´t have an internet connection • They prefer stay all day on the internet than go out with friends or spend time with family. • They have problems at school or at the work. • They can be aggressive.
We shouldn´t spend so much time on the internet. We rather should sport or go out with friends and make our lives much better. The internet makes our lives easier, but it have also a dark side. Internet can kills people.
Cases of deaths caused by the Internet • May 2011 - One man invited a young Australian girl on a date via Facebook and at the meeting he brutally murdered her. • January 2011 - 14 years old American student committed suicide because he couldn´t stand anymore that his classmates bullied him through facebook • One father from Saudi Arabia beat and then killed his daughter, because he found she´s dating with a guy on facebook.
The Case of Malini Murmu • A 22-year-old Malini Murmu found a status posted by her boyfriend on Facebook: "Feeling super cool today. Dumped my new ex-girlfriend. Happy independence day." • The status depressed her and she committed suicide by hanging herself in her room.
Tips that help you protect yourself on Facebook • Everything you put on the internet will remain there forever, so carefully consider what you put there • Don´t post information where you are, it makes you vulnerable to a physical attack.
Don´t add and never meet with people you do not know. • If someone bothers you, delete him from friends or block him. • Never put there your personal informations (date of birth, adress...) From this informations can be falsified identity card.
