Challenges and Responses of Network-Based Stratification to Youth Values Education
Network-based stratification mainly refers to the phenomenon that young people form circles on online platforms based on similar interests,values and lifestyles,and choose the circles they identify with for information exchange and social interaction.As an important way for contemporary youth to obtain information and social interaction,the phenomena of information cocoon effect,echo chamber effect,entertainment oriented content,and diversified identity within the circle pose risks like cognitive narrowing,emotional polarization,and weakened willpower among young people and ecological complexity.Therefore,it is necessary to break through the network-based stratification,exert the role of mainstream ideology,and guide young people to develop correct values.
