( long story, I understand if you don't read it ) ✈️➰✌️ - REFLEJOS / REFLECTIONS. - It is Exactly what I think most of us are, as I explained a good friend of mine the other day. - Since the day we were born, our minds were empty as an blank piece of paper, our relatives,teachers,religious mentors,books, Hollywood,personal experiences, friends, etc. etc. And even our parents in the purest of their intentions left written a story , yes they all left a note with all their beliefs and judgements about life clearly described for your " Protection" " listen to my advise" "I have lived more than you" ( hey off course if someone tell you no to put your hand on a bonfire, pay close attention ' cause is gonna hurt like hell ) ..... Now in the era of Computers, that story or note became a software in our System a program ... Yes the software that runs our lives, the name of that software is " Social Conditioning " .. Believe it or not, once this software is operating consciously or subconsciously , acts like a Filter from where we see and experience the world around us including people ...
In chapter ten of the book “Problems from Philosophy”, by James Rachels, the author, the author discusses the possibilities of human beings living in an actually reality, or if we are just living in an illusion. Rachels guides us through concepts that try to determine wiether we are living in a world were our perception of reality is being challenged, or questioned. Rachels guides us through the topic of “Our Knowledge of the World around Us”, through the Vats and Demons, idealism, Descartes Theological Response, and direct vs. indirect realism.
People are rarely able to predict with any accuracy between how they will feel in the future, and so are often quite wrong about what will make them happy. Thus, when people meet problems, they always ask someone else to give them opinions. In the essay “Reporting Live from Tomorrow”, Daniel Gilbert suggests that beliefs, just like genes, can be “super-replicators”, given to spreading regardless of their usefulness. Thus even beliefs that are based on inaccurate information can provide the means for their own propagation. Finally, he finds people just want to get happiness from beliefs. Moreover, as the advent of science era, technology works as a surrogate to help people solve problems and get happiness. In the essay
The perciption of reality is different for everyone. For example, I think that reality is something that is well natured and enjoyable, and another may say that reality, for them, is something they have to work hard and suffer for. The film Matrix shows perception of reality through Neo and...
As we look back upon “The Allegory of the Cave” and the Matrix, the scripts share a wide variety of comparisons which the people believe our everyday lives are not controlled. On the opposite spectrum, one piece illustrates humans being trapped in a cave to believe all the shadows they saw were real; the other is a futuristic computer game controlling their lives. Either way, imagine living in a world where you are generated through computer not knowing that there is more out there than control. What if you were stuck in a place since birth and not able to make any decisions for yourself until death?
"BR: In every sense we create our own reality, and this goes much further than most people aware of or are willing to admit. The reason most people can't see this is because everyone is creating their own reality, but 99.9% of them are creating the same one-using
We live in a conformed society. Our society revolves around the conditioning of others. Webster's Dictionary defines conditioning as a learning process in which an organism's behavior becomes dependent on the occurrence of a stimulus in its environment. With this said, there is a lot of conditioning that occurs in everyday life. For example, why do grade school teachers reward their students with candy? When a young child receives candy for answering a question his mind relates answering questions with receiving candy. Thus, if the child wanted to enjoy candy he must answer the teacher's questions. School systems as well as parents in our society tend to have the biggest impact in conditioning the youth to act a certain way. Although teachers may help a child to adjust to the ways of the world, they may also be taking away from creative thought and one's desire to be a pioneer.
The importance of cognitive reflection on both a personal and managerial level has grown in relevance in recent times linked to new concerns surrounding its direct effect on the way in which decisions are made. This essay aims to offer a clear overview of cognitive reflection, the test itself, how it provides one way of measuring cognitive ability and indicate why a well known and developed understanding of it is vital when considering the decision making process in practice. Further I will look to critically analyze the associated benefits and shortcomings of cognitive reflection, coming to a justified conclusion drawing on relevant theories and research.
Learning is quite an influential aspect of every organism’s lifetime. We learn through experience, which over time allows for a certain amount of change in our behaviour. The process of learning influences and alters the way we act, interpret, and perceive, and may effectively adjust our views on numerous subjects. If we are trained or become accustomed into acting a certain way, our behaviour may alter to allow for this new change in perception. The field of psychology is full of previous and recent studies which revolve around conditioning a subject. This method of conditioning is a learning process through which an organism relates a stimulus to another simultaneously occurring event. This process has been used for a very large number of studies with different topics and objectives, one of these topics being alcohol and drinking behaviour. The two following studies incorporate and test different conditioning techniques related to altering attitudes toward drinking behaviour. The objective of both studies is to determine whether alcoholism and drinking behaviour can be influenced either positively or negatively through conditional learning.
...en. The society is facing a challenge of whether or not the world should stop mental control or keep it going with the worry that it may take over the world one day. More realistically though, it could turn man into a community of people who is controlled by the government and does not have any emotions and can not figure out anything for themselves.. If the world misuses psychological conditioning enough, it will be a threat to humanity and that is not something that people of this world should think of as something good, because it could potentially ruin all of mankind together.
Social Influences On Behavior It is not surprising that philosophers and scientists study what effects the social environment has on the thoughts, emotions, and behavior of the people because the world is very converse. Social psychology is the study of what effects groups have on individuals and how experiencing part of a group affects a person’s thinking, feelings, and behavior. People like to reflect themselves as independent, however, a person’s actions are influenced by the perspectives and engagements of the people around him or her. Conformity, obedience, and group process are the different types of influence. “Conformity” means changing attitudes or behavior to accommodate the standards of peers or groups.
If you take a look at peoples behavior today and many years ago when such technology didn’t exist you can clearly see the difference between individuals. For example just take a look at peoples attention spans, which are by far shorter, personal communication skills, are reduced and there are mass reduction in the ability to think abstractly (Greenfield, 2008). There is also a huge amount of personal information now stored on the internet - births, marriages, credit ratings, telephone numbers, and it 's sometimes difficult to know where the boundaries of our individuality actually lie (Greenfield, 2008). Only one thing is certain: those boundaries are weakening (Greenfield, 2008). Technology and pharmaceutical companies are finding ever more ways to have a direct influence on the human brain; pleasure is becoming the sole be-all and end-all of many lives, especially among the young (Greenfield, 2008). This is due can be due to all the violent games on the market as well as
Over the course of this class I have pieced together many things about my own life that before went unnoticed. I am now able to see things in a bit of a different light. Now that I have been introduced to the realm of psychology I understand some of the reasons for behavior around me. I have learned that there is a reason for most everything and a lot of our behaviors and mental processes can be explained through psychology. Studies have been conducted for many years to try and pinpoint the source of our behavior and it is not something that most people think about every day. Having a better understanding of why we operate the way we do will help me to better understand myself and the others around me.
Stanley Milgram, a social psychologist, conducted an experiment in 1963 about human obedience that was deemed as one of the most controversial social psychology experiments ever (Blass). Ian Parker, a writer for the New Yorker and Human Sciences, and Diana Baumrind, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, responded to Stanley Milgram’s experiment. These articles represent how the scientific community reviews and scrutinizes each other’s work to authenticate experiment results. Baumrind focuses on the moral and ethical dilemma while, Parker focuses more on the experiment’s actual application.
We participate in societal norms that divide the world into ways that serve some people’s interest over others (Katz 87), and I find that it is crucial to examine our own lives to realize how we do so. We either support, reject, rebel against, challenge, question, or uphold societal norms through the decisions we make from how we interpret situations to how we interact with others. A large part of how we participate in this system comes from how we have been socialized. According to Howard and Alamilla (2016), socialization tells us that “we learn what behavior is appropriate to our gender, race, class, age, and sexuality from our environment through various learning processes” (p. 166). We uphold how we have been socialized when we refuse
This reflection has been written to explore my own attitude regarding learning and how it affects my personal development in the health and social care setting. I will introduce my preferred learning style. I will analyse difficulties which can occur with learning and present personal strategies to overcome them. I will be implementing different theories to underpin my strategies and to analyse their reliability.
