Unit LD 302 Support person-centred thinking and planning 1.1 - Explain what person-centred thinking is, and how it relates to person-centred reviews and person-centred planning. Person centred thinking is a set of values, skills and tools that can be used in person centred planning. It is the foundation in doing the plan to make it works. A person must have a set values or a thought that the centre of the plan is the owner of the plan and everything in it is for its benefits. 1.2 - Explain the benefits of using person-centred thinking with individuals.
“Does the Internet Make You Dumber?” An interesting concept I like about Nicholas Carr’s article “Does the Internet Make You Dumber” is how people have unbelievably become reluctant to deeper thoughts and the use of the human brain. The 21st century man is gradually losing the ability to deeply focus on a given problem but instead, we tend to sort for help from the internet rather than the usage of the natural resource from the brain. To begin, technology and all other found equipment that makes human life easier was meaningfully created by man. This clearly displays that the human brain is way too smarter than technology itself and the mind can only be improved through deeper thinking and problem solving. I couldn’t agree more with Nicholas Carr that the internet distracts and interrupts our brain rendering it shallow.
Nicholas Carr is the author of the article “Is Goggle making us stupid? Google proponents say that it’s not, they say that we don’t have to use our memory as much as before. Thanks to Google we have more time now to daydream or brainstorm. Or that we can see Google as an huge external hard disk for our brain. Carr thinks that this is bullshit.
The complete income distribution is 29 percent make 30-50,000 dollars, 22 percent make 50-75,000 dollars, 12 percent make 75-100,000 dollars, and 8 percent make over 100,000 dollars every year. NASCAR’s fan distribution is quite significant because it varies greatly in some place. In the Northeast 20 percent of the fans reside, the Midwest 24 percent, South 38 percent, and the West just 8 percent. Also a few notables are 74 percent of NASCAR fans own their own homes 64 percent are married while 22 percent are single and 14 percent are divorced or
This shows that the extent of digitalization has contributed to the growth and increasing diversity of the new media on society. Digital convergence has resulted in interactivity. Both convergence and interactivity have impacted on the growth and increasing diversity of the new media on society creating a participatory culture where media producers and media consumers interact with each other. Being able to vote for their favourite contestant and being able to call the judges on x factor has resulted in users having more control over media consumption than in the past as they are able to put forward their own opinions. In other words,
Google has “[served] to spread information, spur fresh ideas, and expand human knowledge” today in the same way that the development of writing expanded the mind of an individual in the first century (Carr 8). If our technological advancements have changed the way we think, they haven’t done it without controls. Some of the attributes associated with the way we process knowledge may change in our society, but we develop it the way we
Carr thinks that the net makes people dumper because he proved the net makes people scattered and superficial thinkers. I agree with Carr. Until I read this article, I was thinking the internet makes people smarter but the scientific evidence turned my thought. In additional on his thought, I think the net wastes a lot of time of our lives. Carr said that “ People who are continually distracted by emails, alerts and other messages understand less than who are able to concentrate.” (qtd line 9).
Syed Hamza Amir 1 Professor Meredith Allison English 1303 23 September 2010 The Future of the Internet As our web experience continues to evolve at an exponential rate, it has provided us with more technology to publish our own content that had once been available only to the few. This rapid expansion in the ability of humans to publish new content has created a new flurry of debate over whether this is enhancing or destroying our culture. Two authors, Andrew Keen and Clay Shirky, tackle this issue with two very different conclusions. Keen provides valid points but falls short and seems like a hypocrite in his condemnation of web 2.0. On the other hand, Shirky gives a complete and thorough view in favor of our ability to publish
Are We the Dumbest Generation? Adults often argue that the intellectual ability of today’s generations has taken a turn for the worst due to the amount of technology they are exposed to as they develop mature ideals. English professor Mark Bauerlein examines in his 2008 book the effects of digital media and how it has caused young people to be more connected and technologically savvy as a result of the wide range of modern inventions, but he also asserts that this has caused them to become less intelligent; therefore, he presents the modern ages as the Dumbest Generation. Young people have a tremendous amount of information available to them due to technology through social networks, the internet, and video games. Many respectable individuals discuss on whether to call the modern generation the “dumbest generation” (Bauerlein) or realizing that they might be participating in an intellectual revolution.
Reading Journal-Hal And Me The passage 'Hal and Me' talks about the impacts that network has on human beings. Nicholas Carr mentions his troubles to focus reading long paragraphs due to his habits of absorbing short and quick information from websites. He thinks it's the internet which cause people's incapableness to concentrated on reading passages. He cited a lot of examples and his own self-experiences to illustrated his points. First, he mentions some advantages of net, such as convenience, interest, and conciseness.
