Addiction is when somebody doesn't have control to yourself about something. When you are become depending on something. The problem with internet addiction is that nowadays affect most of the people without care if is young or adult, it´s something very worrying, affect your brain, personal life…. We Daily, I can see people that can´t have a control with the cell phone, computer, social networks...  It´s important to know, how you can identify an addict to the internet: For example, when the person expends most of the normal time to the cell phone or another gadget, you are in front of an internet addict.

Internet addiction results in personal, family, academic, financial, and occupational problems that are characteristic of other addictions.  Impairments of real-life relationships are disrupted as a result of excessive use of the Internet.  Individuals suffering from Internet addiction spend more time in solitary seclusion, spend less time with real people in their lives, and are often viewed as socially awkward. Arguments may result due to the volume of time spent online.  Those suffering from Internet addiction may attempt to conceal the amount of time spent online, which results in distrust and the disturbance of quality in once stable relationships.

What are the Treatment Options?
The first step in treatment is the recognition that a problem exists. If you do not believe you have a problem, you are not likely to seek treatment. One of the overarching problems with the Internet is that there is often no accountability and no limits. You are hidden behind a screen – and some things that you may say or do online are things you would never do in person.
Some of the more common psychological treatments of Internet Addiction Disorder include:
  • Individual, group, or family therapy
  • Behavior modification
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Equine Therapy
  • Art Therapy
  • Recreation Therapy
  • Reality Therapy

UNIT 7, WORKPLACE PRIVACY

Unit 7: WorkPlace Privacy    As you may know in some  jobs you do not have privacy. Employers can usually search an employee's workspace, including their desk office or lockers. It does not sound far at all, but they can do that because they are the owners of everything you are using there. Some employees feel uncomfortable in their job areas because they are being monitoring, but the employer has the right to do it as long as the monitoring is not particulary invasive. Cmeras in bathrooms or in dressing areas are usually not allowed. In conslusion, even if welike it or not employers have the right to monitoring our activities, register the computer we are using, the emal and even the desk because those are their belonges.
