"This is my friend's child, please vote", "XX is my colleague's baby, vote, thank you", "it's time to test friendship, vote for"... " Have you ever been "tested" in your circle of friends? Liu Meiyan, a wechat user, was subjected to a large number of such "tests" a few days ago, and received more than n voting invitation early in the morning.
Among the more than 10 people interviewed by the reporter, although we did not receive more than n invitation in the morning, we all received such invitation, such as voting for the best employee, the most beautiful nurse, the most beautiful baby, and so on. The circle of friends has become a canvassing ground.

@@Long time in my heart: Recently, when I open wechat every day, there are all kinds of canvassing information. Some people who have not been contacted for several years are speechless. I feel like being kidnapped by morality.
@@Speaking according to the mood: everyone can be a parent. We should understand such canvassing behavior. After all, there is no malice. If you don't want to vote, you can block it.

After collecting praises, drying babies and selling local specialties, this summer vacation, I believe that many people have been attacked by various "voting" activities in wechat circle of friends, including "the most cute baby", "star of popularity", "star of talent" and other voting activities filled the circle of friends, making people unable to cope with the crime of "moral kidnapping".
In the face of friends and relatives canvassing, some netizens choose to vote, but four or five daily canvassing activities, and constantly pay attention to the new official account, is really boring. Some netizens choose not to vote, but they are worried that their relatives or friends have ideas and think they are inhuman. They refuse to help even this trivial matter. It is a dilemma.
Compared with previous SMS voting, wechat voting is cheaper and easier to operate. It's fine for businesses to show their image and value with the help of wechat platform, but if it goes too far, wechat may gradually become a stage of social performance and social competition from a relatively private space.
In real life, the "wechat canvassing circle" has almost become an arena for people to fight for connections. People with wide contacts and rich social resources can get more votes, while those who are lack of social resources, even if their children are excellent, are often in a weak position. In order to help their children get more votes, some parents, in addition to asking people in their circle of friends to vote and forward, even give each voter a different amount of "red packets". Finally, the selected champion may have nothing to do with the children's own strength, but by "fighting for Dad".
For businesses, such online voting can increase the number of fans and hits, which helps to improve their business value. For parents, canvassing successfully satisfies their vanity, which is very glorious on the surface, but in fact it is also turned around by the so-called "hits"; for children, it may have a negative impact on them, and even affect their values.
I believe that the original intention of many parents to let their children participate in the competition is to exercise their ability and literacy, so that they can better understand the society and adapt to the society. In competitive sports, we often advocate friendship first and competition second. However, in the face of competition, many parents attach too much importance to the results and even canvass for votes in the "circle of friends" at all costs, which is somewhat putting the cart before the horse.
There's nothing wrong with letting children participate in the competition. It's normal to choose the winner by voting. However, it's not only harmful to social justice, but also harmful to children's growth if we just choose the champion by fighting people and resources. Therefore, we should firmly resist these "wechat canvassing" with bad taste, so that businesses with ulterior motives will no longer have the soil for survival, but also give more respect to "friends" in the circle of friends.
