individual in groups "

            The  article  " individuals  in  groups"   adapted  from   "in  groups   we    shirk"  by   Carol Travis    talks  about   the   behaviorial    responses  of  groups   and    individuals /  acoring to the arthour   groups      tent   to  wait  when  it come  to  taking action  then  those who are  alone. I agree    with the   thesis  because   when  you are in  group    you rely  on   another    to lead rathen  than    taking    full responsabily   of  making  decision .

     one  example     coming   to Laguardia     Comuniity  College  wasnt    my first choice .    i  wait  it   to   apply  because  Laguardia  didnt  offeer   the   major  my freind was    intreadted   in  .    it  toked  her and   me    three month  to send college   aplication    to  different   college   .   acouring to the article  Psycholist    call this behavior      difusion of  responsabily     or  loafing .   if      i had  taken the desion to  attetn to college  by my self  i would have acted  right  away     and   not wait   to  attent ed   the folliwing  semster .    When  we  take   desicion  with other  the  difference in opinion  and     point of view can  procrastinate   your    desicions .
          
                      Futher more     our social  skill  can sometimes put  a  hold    on what we   may want to do    .   the article     brings the point of  view  by  seeting examples   done  by  psychologist    in classrooms  . is it   better to be   a lone    or   be in group? this  article   lives  us with the question   to answer  in  our  own opinion.

allegory of the cave

Allegory  of the Cave      is a  fable     written  by  Plato in  (The  republic   book 7th ). Point  out  the  power   human  mind has  to     adjust to    the  environment   is in  .   the   dialogue  of the   the two   characters   Socretes  and Glaucon    pointing  out  the  life   of  the    slave  that work   in the cave .  the only connection to the  world  is the shadow that  they see   and   voices they hear   from the  back  side   of the  cave .  because they  are  a costume  to  the    shadow   they  don't realize  that  their can easily  escape from  the cave . the   emphasis  of the fable  is      our   surrounding   can easy   blind us from the      reality

blog 1 hype

          Are advertisement company  slowly controling  your  thought? acouring  to kelle lans  from  hype  insigns of life  in the usa  prove  this point. As  we  growth  in  technology advertisement are  spreading everywhere  you go .. there is an  estimate of 12  billion  displayed  ads  ,  3  billion  in  radio  comercial and  more  than  200, 00   tv commercial  in the  usa .  I agree  with  Mrs Lans   point because of the effect it has on our  decition   and  the  effect it  has on  childre.

          Our  desition  are affect  it  by   what we  see   mostly . since  we are  living   an  advance  technology  century  places  like  supermarkets  ,bank  machines  and  highways  are fill  wih   many    of this  manipulated  strageries  to sell  their products.   one example  a company  call  carte display  to screeen   on the  supermarkets  carts to promote more shopping. 

          Another effect  is on  childrens  programs  are fill  with  catchies  songs    and  atractive  product  like   race  cars    jumping  in high  lenth  or most  popular the oscar  mayer song    theme   there are    being   raise  by television   , children are  more  easly influencer  creating  a chain  conection  to increase  the  percesnt  of  consuming   in this  country


           in conclusion     adverticement   company  have   take  over what  we  decide to b uy .
