On March 17,
students at Karaganda Industrial University attended a screening of the short
films “Not Bookmarks” and “Hooligan Girl.” After the screening, a discussion
was held within the framework of the “Law and Order” ideology.
The speakers
included the head of the university’s psychological service, A. Yaruta, as well
as officers of the UIP GUP VOP — Senior Lieutenants of Police V. Imanaliev and
A. Sydykov. The meeting was held in an open dialogue format: students not only
watched the films but also discussed the issues raised in them.
Today, young
people increasingly encounter offers of “easy money” распространяющиеся through social networks and messaging apps. At the
same time, a lack of legal awareness, the influence of peers, and the illusion
of anonymity create a risk of involvement in illegal activities.
That is why such
events focus not only on emotional impact but also on meaningful reflection.
Watching films combined with discussion helps students move from simple
impressions to understanding consequences and developing safe behavior.
The film “Not
Bookmarks” addresses the problem of involving teenagers in the illegal drug
trade. It shows how the pursuit of easy money can lead to serious consequences.
The film clearly demonstrates that even seemingly “harmless” offers on the
internet can result in criminal liability.
In turn, the film
“Hooligan Girl” touches on the issue of cyberbullying. The story centers on a
girl who faces harassment on social media. The authors show how online
aggression affects a person’s psychological state and why it is important not
to remain indifferent in such situations.
After the
screening, students actively engaged in the discussion. The questions focused
on online behavior and its consequences: why people behave differently online
than in real life, what mistakes users make when posting thoughtless comments,
and why it is important to care about one’s digital reputation.
Practical steps
were also discussed: how to stop bullying if you witness it, where to seek
help, and why it is important to support someone who finds themselves in such a
situation.
The speakers also
paid special attention to basic knowledge of administrative and criminal
liability, as well as practical issues such as recognizing risks, refusing
suspicious offers, and knowing where to turn for help.
At the end of the
meeting, participants formulated simple but important conclusions: to think
critically about information on the internet, not to fall for suspicious
offers, to consider the consequences of one’s actions, and not to remain
indifferent to the problems of others.
As the organizers
noted, such preventive events help develop a more conscious attitude among
young people toward their actions — both in real life and in the digital
environment.
