 Internet Addiction
• The internet has provided much positive impact
on young people throughout the world for the
last ten years. It can be, informative, convenient,
resourceful, and fun. However, the internet can
also offer harmful influence on not only young
people but adult people also such as
pornography, security, and privacy. These days,
they are many young and adult people spending
too much time on internet while they may not
realize themselves whether or not it is too much.
Therefore, this can be another type of addiction
that has invaded human.
• Young people is the most vulnerable
candidates that everyone is concerned.
The most popular place that young people
always go or surf it are online game
websites and social networking. Some
don’t go to school but go to an internet
café or maybe their friend’s houses so as
to play the online games and open the
social network id.
 Violence in Online Games
• Some young people, like children, is like to
imitate what they see. So, the internet as
medium can bring about violence as same as
movies and televisions programs. It can be seen
that internet games can be a cause of violence
because these games could invite players to
engage with the action, disengage the critical
faculties and take pleasure in the substitute
experience of gratuitous violence. According to
Oliver ( 2000 ), internet games send the
following false messages to the players.
Additionally, media violence has a strong effect on
children because they lack the real life
experiences to judge whether something they see
on screen is realistic ( Reed, 1999 )

• An example of this is that the columbine

tragedy in USA in 1999. Both two
shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold
enjoyed playing the game Doom. Doom is
licensed by the United States Military that
aims to train soldiers to effectively kill. In
this game, there are two shooters with
extra weapons and unlimited ammunition.
• There are no other characters can fight
back against these shooters. Eric and
Dylan were imitating the characters they
played on their home computers. It can be
said that is this susceptibility of young
people to portrayals in the electronic
media ( Klobas, 2001 ). The games like
Doom could make children more likely to
commit violent acts in real life. They may
think violence is useful and appropriate
way to solving any problem.
 The Solutions
• To deal with internet addiction is certainly
difficult thing to do. It is the same as facing
with any other type of addiction. It can be
said although all addictions can be cured,
as long as people agree to do whatever
might be necessary. Definitely, this is not
an easy procedure and practice.
• The objective of this section is to provide
the major possible solutions to solve the
problem. There are many potential
solutions; However, the most important
thing is that people who are or may be
addicted have to concentrate on resolving
seriously.
