He says technology is eliminating the need for them because you can make chips much simpler with a computer than a human worker. So yes, it seems that the more technology we are creating the less highly educated workers we will need. Section 2 is where he goes on to talk about the working classes and how since 1990 the U.S job market is “hollowing” out. The high and low paying jobs are increasing while the middle wage jobs are all disappearing. The reason for the job market turning this way is the fact that technology hurts those who do physical work and helps those who work with their mind.
However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater. Kohlberg found that individuals who are able to resist pressure to conform tend to be more morally advanced. Individuals can resist obedience if they have an ally who also opposes the authority figure. In Milgram’s study when the participant was given two allies that refused to continue giving shocks, only 10% of participants continued to the 450 volts shock level. Milgram claims that the presence of allies who resist an authority figure makes individuals more confident in their ability to do the same.
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,
Historically, they have been approached through one of two perspectives. First, the nature perspective suggests that human behavior is driven mostly by biology (evolution, genetics, brain chemistry, and hormones). In contrast, the nurture perspective suggests that behavior is driven mostly by the psychosocial environment (for example, how we were raised, our peers, the situations we are in at present). Interestingly, almost everyone in our culture seems to believe that nurture is more powerful than nature. More than likely, this is because it is easier to observe the effects of nurture in our lives (personal experience), because we have been told that nurture is more powerful in our culture (authority), and because it feels more empowering to believe that nurture has more of an effect, perhaps because it seems more controllable (bias).
Children now spend more than seven and a half hours a day in front of a screen. This surprised me because I thought it would be more hours.my brother spends a lot more than 7 in front of a screen. Reducing the sodium Americans eat by 1,200mg per day on could save up to $20 billion a year in medical costs. This surprised me because I did not know people ate that much salt. Prevalence of obesity for children ages 2 to 5 years – doubled.
Human has done a lot of things to change this earth to a better place: improving technologies, a great transportation system, education system, and others. A marvelous quality of brainpower is excruciatingly needed in order to do these. Putting aside the fact that those improvements consume numerous decades, human has proven that they possessed the brainpower to change the world. Asserting that bonobos, orangutans, gorillas, and monkeys are in the same order, with a lot of similar physical structures, are they smart as well? There are some sides that say no, some say their intelligences are just totally overestimated; however, I believe that apes are smart.
Visual Arts Justin Hunt ARTS 230 February 14, 2015 Lisa Turner Visual Arts It would be easier to define something simple like an apple than it would be to define visual art. The reason is because visual art is a term that encompasses a broad amount of disciplines from numerous artistic sub-categories. While there are other forms of creative expression, the visual arts make up a larger piece of the puzzle. No matter what type of art it is, there are people that are influenced by it and will give it some sort of cultural value. Understanding the many types of arts can broaden one’s mind and allow them to view the world in a deeper and more glorious way.
Their lives are more planned and thus have more direction. They have better problems solving skills and are consequently better equipped to handle everyday decisions. * Another trend noticed, is that children of educated parents are more likely to receive an education and have higher cognitive development, than children of uneducated parents. * Educated people are in a better position to contribute more positively to society and even towards the planet, as they understand the implications of their choices and actions. Why do we need to be Educated?
By the passing of centuries people have become more concerned about society and the way we conduct life. This is why life has improved throughout the decades, by creating electricity, computers and internet and so on. Secondly, studies suggests that people who worry too much have higher levels of activity in regions of the brain that aid in communication between parts of the brain. These regions are thought to have contributed to the evolutionary success of humans, the researchers say. According to scientists even though excessive worry has been generally considered a negative trait and high intelligence a positive one, worry may cause our species to avoid dangerous situations, regardless of how remote a possibility they can be.
It is this flexibility of the mind that allows us humans to exhibit a rather large repertoire of complex actions and higher function. And this flexibility is a result of our elaborate sensory and motor systems. These elaborate systems provide detailed information about the external environment thereby making available the large repertoire of actions. But, the same information also introduces potential for confusion and uncertainty about decisions. To counter this confusion caused by the multitude of data, we have evolved
