Blog 6: I Know the Truth, so Don't bother Me with Facts ( Essay)

  In the passage "I Know The Truth, So Don't Bother Me With Facts" by Jefferey Kluger stated that people want to believe whatever they hear or see. They would sheepishly accept the truth and change our views accordingly. Without much doubt, people believe what they want to believe however, we all don't believe the same set of ideals and values for the same set of reasons.
   Many people believe what they want to believe, much of the time they believe,  without good reason. . Lots of people have reasons for what they believe, but when those reasons are refuted when they're taken away or weakened by other evidence.
  Some people see being proved wrong as a weakness in themselves. They are afraid they will come off as foolish in front of others. Other times it is because they are closed minded and refuse to believe in someone else's evidence.
  People  in our world, more want to believe falls than truth. They believe whatever they want to believe to make their lives more easier

Blog 5: The Allegory of the Cave (Rev.)

    In the passage "The Allegory of the Cave" Plato, discusses the interesting concept of the truth.  People who live in the cave, refuse to accept the reality.  In the cave, men live shackled to the wall, only capable of staring straight ahead. All they can see are the shadows of images carried between a curtain and a fire by some other people, who talk and make noises. The prisoners assume that what they see and hear is reality. They believe is everything is shadow. If a man were released and forced outside, the brilliance would be painful and make everything difficult for him to understand.

Blog 2: "HYPE"

   In the article "Hype" by Kalle Lasn, the author argues that advertisements have been part of the Americas "mental pollutants." Everyday thousands of TV and radio commercials pollutant floods people's brain. Today, advertising has grown significantly. Moreover advertising play on informative role for the consumers and enable them to purchase products and services. I agree with Lasn that advertising exhibits negative effect in society.
   Everywhere people go, they see form of advertisement which to influence consumers to buy something. In  America, people lives absolutely flooded with advertising. For example; by the time when we open our mailbox unless we see something particularly  eye catching, where determined to rid ourselves of it as quickly as possible. Also TV commercials trying to influence people to buy something.  For example;  When I watch TV I see the products description and I decide to purchase that product  without having any type of pressure or influence to it. Sometimes I think we have too much form of advertisement anywhere.
  Many people don't  know that "advertisement" are the most prevalent and toxic of the mental pollutants." People trying to buy whatever they see on TV or shop buy online without having any pressure.

Biog 1: "How to do one thing at a time"

   Multitaskig has rapidly taken over and over our lives. Chating with the friends while doing homework or talking on the phone while driving is "really dumb idea." In the Journal Neuro-Image revealed that when doing many thing at atime effects our brain because  " our brain have  cognetive limits." According to recent experiment in a Stanhford University shows that single taskers are better than multitasking. Some experts belive that tehy can break their multitasking habit and sharpin their focus. I belive that doing one thing at a time is significantly better.
   When people doing one thing at a time step by step they end up doing as well as they shoold because they doing only one thing they can concentrate better. For example; When I doing myb homework I am talking on the phone or listinning music. At the end when i finish homework I understand that i did not understand anything  and also myb brain tired. That's why I think we should do thing one thing at atime.
   Talking on the phone while driving is really bad idea and also it could be dangerous. People while driving they have to pay attention to the road because its really dangerous to their and others life. For example; Long time ago my father died in a car accident. He liked to talk with friend next to him or on the phone while driving. Once my father and his friend were talking and did not pay attention  to the road happend accident and he died. People while driving they have to be very careful and pay attention to the road.
   So people should not multitask trying to perform several tasks at a time. Even they have too many tasks to do within  a short time at a time they should  do all their work consistently step by step.
