Individualized Survival: A Study Of Social Displacement Of Junior Middle School Students In Network Society

With the development of information technology, the network has penetrated every aspect of lives with no exception of education. As a generation growing up in the network society, the "net generation", namely contemporary junior high school students have not merely lived in a triple dimensional society of traditional school, family, and peer groups. The arrival of the network society makes the life of the junior high school students also changed dramatically. With the junior high school students’social displacement as the breakthrough point, this paper discusses the new changes of social displacement within the three aspects of junior high school students in the school, family and peer group under the impact of the network society and presents its new characteristics, in order to trigger some thinking to schools and education workers.This study chose two ordinary middle schools in the city as the research objects, using qualitative research method. Through interviews, it’s been found that the arrival of the network society has exerted its impact on the junior high school students’social displacement mainly in three aspects:the displacement boundary of fuzzy, mainly from the angle of "body" group, and the perspective of cultural identity, discussing the extension of time and space caused by the displacement of the facilitation and the actual condition of displacement, as a result of the combination of persona, confirming that the arrival of the network society has psychologically influenced the junior high school students; the second one is in the displacement space on the permeability of the main communication from both school and family, or home school joint joint two levels, and parents that junior middle school students under the network social life under the strict control of network; the third aspect is the displacement in the role of subversion, the researchers mainly from the junior middle school students, school, family and peer group level, the relationships between the three to confirm network to give parents superficial is present, teachers become pastime object, peer groups diversity exists.With a full display of the network society’s impacts on the students’ displacement, given the present research of the types of the displacement, conclusion has been made that the changes in displacement including the personalization of its choice, the characterization of its space and the superficiality of its nature. A further revelation is that the current junior high school students are in the transition from the mass displacement to individual survival. But this individual survival is deviant from the school, family and peer groups. On the other hand it’s not truly independent and in a shortage of reflection.At last, the paper traces back to the triple education of the school, family, peer groups. And it’s been advocated that under the network society, schools should become the spiritual home of students; that family should be the harbor to settle the child’s mind; and society should become the place where they can experience and learn how to be human. With the three forging ahead, they will contribute to a smooth displacement of junior high school students.
