Phones influence all aspects of teenage life.Ninety-five percent of Americans ages 13 to 17 have a smartphone or have access to one, and nearly half report using the internet“almost 26 . ”
But as recent survey data and interviews have suggested,many teens find much of that time to be
unsatisfyingly spent. Continuous 27 shouldn't be mistaken for endless enjoyment. A new 28
reprentative survey about“screen time and device distractions”from the Pew Rearch Center indicates that 记笔顺it's not just parents who think teenagers are worryingly 29 from their phones—many teens
themlves do too. Fifty-four percent of the 13-to- 17-year-olds surveyed said磨砂膏 they spend too much 光合作用图time 30 in倦怠 their phones.

Evil Genius
A)A few years ago I found mylf teaching a university class on evil. It was for third-year criminology students to help them contextualize theory and rearch within controversial current topics. It was a huge success. The debates were heated and interesting. I could e people's views change within the cour of a single lecture. Over the past 13 years,as a student,lecturer and rearcher,I've enjoyed discussing the science of evil with anyone willing to listen. What I like most is destroying the cliche (陈 词滥调)of good and evil,and replacing them with scientific insight. We need a more informed way of discussing behavior that at first we cannot, or should 在读not, begin to understand.
B) Without understanding,we risk dehumanizing others,writing off human beings simply becau we don't comprehend them. We must try to understand what we have la
beled evil. We tend to think evil is something that other people are. We think of ourlves as“good people”,and even when we do morally wrong things,we understand the context of our decisions. With others, however, it is far easier to write them off.If their actions deviate ( 偏 离 ) substantially from what we consider acceptable,we may label them evil. We need to be careful with this. Calling someone evil is often similar to saying they cannot change, and perhaps aren't even a human at all. However,when you actually go monster-hunting,and you look deeply at the people behind shocking behavior,you may be surprid.
