Nowadays,the popularization of the new media technology has changed the shape of the communication methods between the audiences,which as a result,individuals can easily be involved into the discussion of social-related events.To some extent,the phrase Digital Survival has become a reality.In this context,the line between virtual and reality could be easily crossed with the internet anonymity and the group polarization.It could be relatively isolated when it comes to the personal expression towards a social event.As such,one could find it rather harder to simulate individuals' attitude.Based on the heated event of Nieshubin incident,the analysis concentrates on the comments posted by the Weibo users,meanwhile the analysis would take the SentiWordNet as a theoretical database to measure the sentiment value of some certain words contained in the comments posted by the Weibo users.Besides,the analysis has divided the available comments into two dimensions which are individuals' personal expressions and the respond-to activities.For further study,the writer has sorted the comments out into eight different variables in order to summarize the general activities of the Weibo users when discussing the social-related incidents.After the independent coding process,the analysis has found,first of all,Weibo users tend to be aggressive,excessive when participating in the social-related incidents.Second,the evaluation standard could somehow be very vague,Weibo users are likely to criticizing the government authorities rather than focusing on the incident itself,Third,the respond-to activities happens more frequently when Weibo users hold the different points of view,but it is not easy for them to reach a consensus.Last,for Weibo users,they sometimes could be very intolerant when discussing with others and meaningless fights and debates are not rare.
