The for Common Goals at the Gombaszög Summer Camp was built around an exciting topic again this year - "Focus on online media use and women's roles"...
On behalf of the managing director of the Association for Common Goals, Andrea Hideghéthy, Erzsébet Pósa-Homoly, head of the Rimaszombat office, greeted the gathering.
, Adriá Hideghéthy gave a lecture on online and offline presence, conscious media consumption and internet addiction in the light of generations
As he said, the use of smartphones and other portable devices is a completely natural phenomenon nowadays, as is the fact that younger generations are always more open to technological innovations. We have experienced that young people do not have problems with online administration or shopping, and as a result, they spend significantly more time on the Internet.
Conscious use of the Internet can free up a significant amount of time. However, the suggestion that a significant number of younger people use the Internet to excess is not completely unfounded either.
"We can say that media consumption habits show big differences between generations. According to the statistical data, it can be clearly observed that the 25-34 age group participates most actively in the age distribution of Facebook and Instagram users. People over the age of 35 are represented in significantly smaller numbers on Instagram compared to Facebook.
For companies, social media is nothing but an excellent opportunity to reach young consumers much more effectively"
he added.
He presented the differences between generations, digital natives, and media consumption morality. "Based on research, we can say that the internet consumption of generations shows a decreasing trend as they age. Nevertheless, internet addiction can not only overshadow the days of the younger generation."
"Although internet addiction is not yet an officially registered psychological illness, more and more young people and older people suffer from withdrawal symptoms when they cannot connect to the network. Common signs of addiction are cravings, restlessness, aggression and confusion. According to the specialist, internet addiction clearly has a negative effect on behavior and psychological state. Addiction results in an inward-looking state, as a result of which events in the outside world lose their importance..."
At the same time, the question arose - What does conscious media consumption mean?
The essence of conscious media consumption is to be able to navigate and be informed consciously between different channels, as well as to be able to analyze the reliability and credibility of different information sources.
"It is important to make our children aware that everyone on the Internet is to a certain extent different than in reality. At the same time, we should also teach them that they must also take responsibility for their online actions, since their identity can be easily traced at any time if necessary."
He pointed out that free filtering software that can be downloaded from the Internet makes it possible to prevent children from accessing dangerous or harmful content. , such child protection filter software can be downloaded free of charge from the website of the National Media and Communications Authority gyermekbarat.nmhh.hu
"Video games occupy a prominent place among children's leisure activities, so we need to be as careful when choosing games as we are with TV shows or when creating rules for Internet use.
It is the parent's responsibility to help the child choose a toy that matches his interests and age."
The forum discussion of time-wasting factors in the family , where Adrianna Gergely Papp, president of the Women's Division of the Hungarian Federation, Beka Beáta, president of Pro LE-Ti, and Melinda Drab, head of the CED Central European Economic Development Network's office in Királyhelmec, gave their opinions on the subject.
To the question, what do they think is the role of women in the family, civil life, and politics? Adrianna Gergely Papp answered that the role of women in society, civil life, and politics is roughly the same as in the family. The effort to keep the family together, the more sensitive handling of conflict situations, tolerance, understanding, and forgiveness should be transferred into politics. "The current state of politics here in the Highlands, but all over the world, I think it's a battle of sharks in the deep water... that's why women are withdrawing from politics, because it's so empowering to not look at the other, to do everything to be there in a position... even though exactly his qualities would be needed to make this state a little friendlier."
Beáta Beáta agreed with Adrianna's thoughts, adding that women themselves consider each other rivals, and men treat women as enemies. "Few men tolerate the fact that as a woman you make decisions, achieve success, maybe there is a child that you have to take care of." it is certain that in public life it is possible to get into such deep waters where it is possible to fight with sharks.
Melinda Drab began with an anecdote that a couple of years ago, one of her colleagues noticed a book on the shelf called "A woman's place" and asked her how it was possible to write such a thick book about the kitchen.
"Why do we think that a woman's place is only in the kitchen and at home?
When we see the successful women sitting here around me, when we think about how many places and roles we have to fulfill, at work, at home in the family, and often we even feel guilty if we accidentally have to say no to something."
During the conversation, it was asked how women can hold their own in politics, whether more female politicians are needed, and what example can they set for the young people around them?
The ladies emphasized that since women can pay attention to several things at the same time, this can be used very well in civil life and culture. In politics, the situation is completely different, politicians are raised to be people who say things, which women do not want to participate in, because this is not their goal, but to make this environment conflict-free.
It was suggested that more women take a role in the civil sphere, while in politics there are far fewer, and everything is related to everything. In politics, the place has to be elbowed out. Public life should be about the community, but politicians see civil society as a service apparatus. Attention to each other, community and teamwork are missing from politics. They mentioned that women are the ones who think long-term, because their children instinctively come to mind, they also want things to work well in the future. The issue of the quota system was raised, and they expressed their opinions on the topic of lack of professionalism and sensitivity.
The event by László Gubík , the president of SZaKC, emphasizing the role of women in the community, society and politics.
"On the way to Gombaszög, one remembers Madách and The Tragedy of Man... For women, Éva is the perfect personification, because Éva, if necessary, holds the soul in Adam, can be a support and help him in trouble, but if Ádám cannot lead the community, then on the other hand, Éva takes over and is the leader of the community... The woman must not only be a companion, but also, if the situation calls for it, a leader. This is how our public life can become organic and just, more lovable and harmonious".
