On October 14th, Sulli a Korean actress, singer committed suicide. When i saw the news, i was shocked and felt so sad. I couldn’t help but wonder what made a 25-year-old girl gave up her life. Her friend said she had suffered from depression for a long time. At this time what is the reason of her depression has caused a heated discussion. Most people said the main reason is cyber violence.

Social phenomenon and problem

The aggressiveness of online languages or comments are like a sharp dagger that hurts every victim. With the development of technology, more and more people use their phone or computer to entertain. I think the development of science and technology has brought a lot of conveniences and benefits to our life; however, it’s also a double-edged sword. People unbridled publish their own comments on the internet. Some people use offensive words to describe celebrities and public figures without any moral bottom line and principle. Because of that, the increase number of people had been hurt by cyber violence. Some people have mental healthy problems.

Solution measures and suggestions

In order to reduce the recurrence of harm, we must build and have the right ideology. In my opinion, Government, media companies, and individuals have an unshirkable responsibility to build a harmonious network environment. Here are some suggestions as follow:

Government should establish relevant laws for example, when every websites build real-name system for online information, everyone will be careful what they say. If they use some offensive word to judge some people, they will be easier to seek out and shoulder the responsibility.

Media companies should strengthen inspection and supervision.

Individuals: on the one hand we need to pay attention on our words not to hurt others. on the other hand, if we have mental healthy issues like depression, we should diagnosis in time and receive effective treatment.

A good online communication environment and atmosphere needs to be maintained together. To prevent this kind of thing from happening again, let us act, to make the world more beautiful!
