Mental health effected by Covid

Image
 Mental health issues are the leading impediment to academic success. Mental illness can affect students’ motivation, concentration, and social interactions— crucial factors for students to succeed in higher education. The 2019 Annual Report of the Center for Collegiate Mental Health reported that anxiety continues to be the most common problem (62.7% of 82,685 respondents) among students who completed the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms, with clinicians also reporting that anxiety continues to be the most common diagnosis of the students that seek services at university counseling centers.

A critical analysis of the social dilemma

Image
 The new Netflix documentary-drama “The Social Dilemma,” is about an disasterous impact on these  companies’ profit lines by technology firms which have influenced human psychology and has  effected our society. A new Netflix documentary-drama called The Social Dilemma has encouraged some social media  users to deactivate their accounts, but it’s unlikely to make a difference in the tech behemoths it  tackles. Since its premiere on Netfilx, Indiewire has praised “The Social Dilemma” as “perhaps the only best  clear, concise, and genuinely disturbing critique of social media ever created in part,” while tech  analyst Benedict Evans has criticised the video as “deceptive and factually incorrect.” The documentary “The Social Dilemma” looks at how the Internet’s most popular programmes work  on a simple business model of analysing users’ behaviour in order to sell tailored adverts and create  a vicious circle of addiction. Interviews with tech pr...
