二、網際網路為當代人們瞭解及交換資訊的一個重要管道。有學者強調網際網路可以促進不同意見的交流，為公民運動的重要推動媒介並成為建立公民社會的基礎。然而，有學者指出在網際網路上進行議題的討論與推動容易形成同溫層，讓議題不容易跨越不同的族群，反而造成不同群體彼此之間互相攻訐，不利公民社會的形成。請從你所知的社會學觀點，討論這兩個觀點孰是孰非。請先說明你所採取的觀點後，再進行論述。(25%)

三、青年在職場上的表現是當代社會中值得重視的議題。近期我們觀察到青年在職場上有兩個特殊的現象：斜槓青年(slashie)與青年的隱性辭職(quiet quitting)。兩者分別呈現當代青年就業的不同樣態。請從你所知的社會學觀點，選擇其中一個現象進行討論。請先說明你選擇的現象其內涵為何，再說明你選擇的社會學觀點如何探討這個現象。(25%)

四、教養下一代是當代父母的課題。從人本為思考的教養觀認為父母親需要以尊重子女意見及福祉的態度出發，進行對子女的管教，其具體的作為表現在適性而教、自然成長及非體罰式的教養。然而，華人文化的教養觀認為父母肩負著引導與規訓子女的責任，需要主動且嚴格的引導並規劃子女的人生道路，其代表的案例有著有「虎媽戰歌」的蔡美兒式的教養觀。請從你所知的社會學觀點，從這兩個觀點中擇一進行評論。請先說明你所選擇的教養觀點其內涵為何，再說明你選擇的社會學觀點如何評論這個現象。(25%)
