Social Media And Best Interest Of The Child Category:   Alcohol Culture ,  Marketing ,  Policy ,  Youth Email Share on Twitter Share on Facebook What kind of social defence do we have for the social media? It socializes and influences to an increasingly greater extent. And its impact seems to become bigger compared to “real life” social relations. It seems impossible for parents and teachers to monitor their children online. I was watching a  televised debate  on National Television DD News this week about a  news story  published in a Daily news paper:  “Close Facebook accounts now, Bangalore school tells its kids”.  It was interesting to see how the decision of the school triggers a national debate in the best interest of the child.

The call comes as the team from Newcastle and Sunderland Universities publish a paper which looks at the reasons why many older people continue to drink to levels hazardous or harmful to their health. The paper, published today in the journal PLOS ONE, found that many older people may not recognize they are heavy drinkers if they don't see themselves as dependent and therefore having a problem. As part of the study, organised through Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health, the academics carried out interviews and conducted focus groups with 53 men and women aged between 65 and 90. They wanted to find out the reasons why so many of people in that age grou
