中国最高学位是什么 An in-depth exploration into the modern experience of adolescence amidst all of the technological innovation that is currently available today requires an exploration also into the related fields of cultural theory, sociology and interpersonal interaction, community building, media studies, and history, to enable some sort of cultural contextualization to result. This project, categories, rearch, and arguments will be evaluated primarily from a popular culture point of view. My overall interest in this rearch and this project is to explore how adolescents within American society are responding to the cultural shifts and changing social environment that is brought about by the new forms of communication and i
nteraction enabled by technological innovation, and how this correspondingly affects the way American teens are growing up and how this ultimately influences the American family and larger social framework as a result. The literature surrounding this larger topic, as well as the smaller ones within it, are best divided into three categories following the initial establishment of the theoretical framework which my work will utilize. The three categories include: a historical and theoretical approach to technological advancement, social disconnection, and shifts in previously established social codes of conduct among individuals within American society; Youth media culture and the dynamics of the American family in today’s world as well as the role of technological innovation and online communication modes within this and the effects they can have; and, thirdly, literature
that involves generational studies focusing on the American teen, adolescent social interaction trends and studies, and the role of technology and youth sociology in political engagement (to be in the form of a small ca-study) to attempt to communicate that technological innovation does not have to foster solely disconnection among people, but can also be a key instigator in the formation of new types of communities, particularly onli
ne ones through forums and blogs.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
An initial theorist who work and arguments will rve as foundational framework material for my project is Donald Fiske. His essay, Specificity of Method and Knowledge in Social Science aims to describe what Fiske believes to be the components of the field and experience of social science itlf, aiming to explain the effects of a social scientific approach on the study of individuals within society and the challenges that may result. “…knowledge in social science is fragmented, is compod of multiple discrete parcels, and that the parateness or specificity of tho bodies of knowledge is a conquence, not only of different objects of inquiry, but also of method specificity.” Fiske’s beliefs as to the future and progression of the social sciences as a method to analyze and examine human society within it are generally that, just as many human mistakes and errors in history were repetitions of tho made in the past,

汉字六书Fiske’s more generalized beliefs on the field of social science and the interaction between the factors that compri it will be a uful way to conceive of the overarching approach to my topic, problems, and questions, as the ultimate tone of my work will be sociological. The view that the social sciences are compod of veral disparate bodies of knowledge and that no complete, uniform analysis is possible with regard to social questions will be a critical part of my establishment of my rearch and scholarship, and will rve to refine my work that much more as a result.
I plan to u veral theoretical works that have relation to the field of cultural studies and technology, from whence to extract arguments about the role of the innovations on
the societies to which they are introduced and how the and the capabilities they may offer, whatever they may be, also have profound effects on the cultural values and codes of conduct of that society. An example of such a work is Lynn Spigel’s Make Room for TV: Television and the Family Ideal in Postwar America. Spigel’s work examines the technological innovation of television from a cultural and historical point of view and there is a large concentration within her rearch on the ability of the technology to provoke shifts from primary ‘exhibition experiences’ from the public space to the privacy of people’s own homes. This, Spiegel argues, affected social mores of the time, particularly the ways in which people in society interacted with each other now that they could largely obtain what was previously an experience rerved for movie theaters could now be enjoyed and controlled in a space of each individual’s choosing, thanks to the technology behind the television.
