Hello everybody!! 🙋♀️ I have 2️⃣ new statements for today:
➡️ If you are below 16 you also have the right to be on social media!!!!!
➡️ In a LOTTT of countries more than 50% of people will have too much weight (in some countries that is now already and in other countries in the future). So the government must also do something like for example have less fastfood restaurants in cities or that they make sports cheaper or more health information.
About the first statement we have not yet discussed it in our society class, but we have to react tomorrow about Australia because they make a law that you cant be on social media if you are below 16. 🙁 So i am curious what you think and i looked online and here you can read about the news of Australia: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-28/social-media-age-ban-passes-parliament/104647138
About the second statement i saw it on the news: if not something happens it will be VERY unhealthy for a lot of people and the medical costs will be A LOTTT more in the future for everybody so that is even worse than if the government takes more actions. I dont really know how to solve that second problem. 🙄🙄
What do you think about the statements? True ✅ or false ❌ ?
For the first statement:
I see that social media is part of our daily life, but the appropriate age to use it depends on the individual’s maturity and ability to deal with it responsibly.
If I am under 16 years old, this does not mean that I do not have the right to be on them, but the most important thing is to use these platforms wisely and with parental supervision, because the Internet is an open world and I must be aware of the risks. However, I believe that people under the age of 12 should not use social media alone, as they often lack sufficient maturity and awareness to deal with the challenges and risks found on these platforms.
So, the statement is not completely wrong, but it requires clear conditions and responsibility.
For the second statement: I believe that weight gain is a global problem that requires the cooperation of everyone, not just individuals.
Of course, the government's role here is very essential.
Reducing the number of fast food restaurants in cities may help limit the spread of unhealthy foods, but the solution does not stop there. Sports should be available to everyone at reasonable prices or even free, and there should be greater awareness about the importance of healthy food and an active lifestyle.
So, I think the statement is correct because the government must take practical steps to support community health and motivate everyone to live a healthy life.
