The Robot Generation?

Currently, many people are stating that there are two different generations in exsistence, one is the X generation, the other is the Y generation. In most cases the X generation have a tendency to find it difficult to use and understand newer technology, so they tend to be unable to use their gadgets, pcs, etc. up to their fullest extend. While the Y generation have a tendency to be able to naturally use and master their gadgets, pcs, etc. without having a need to be taught by others', as if it were something they were born with. It matters not which generation you were born into, they all still experienced a certain level of the same education system. Although the system of education differs in each countries, but a lot of it are similar, especially in eastern countries



Many of eastern countries' education systems are slave-based and memorization-oriented. No one can be blame for such a system to be born, it was only natural that a country that has so many slaves to come up with a system to preserve it. This is proven by how many eastern schools that demanded their students to have good grades. Let's think about it, by demanding and brainwashing the students that gaining a good grades is mandatory, the students' mindset will be set to that very goal, which is to only obtain a good grades. By which destroyed the meaning of building a school in the first place, which is to learn, and not to get a good grade. Yes, you could say that this is weird in a sense if you are living in those countries, but have you not realize that each person is unique? That a formal grading system will only demolish those uniqueness?

Let's take an animal for example, let's say an eagle was forced to swim by an animal school in the middle of the forest. Eventhough he's good at flying, and he was made for flying, because the school demanded that he needs to be able to swim (eventhough the teacher is a rat who doesn't know how to swim either), his all so mighty wings got wet, and the eagle wasn't able to fly ever again, because wet wings will make it harder to fly. The same could be said to children, when you took away their own capabilities or talent, their own "uniqueness". They eventually became unable to enjoy their lives in pursuit of grades, unable to cherish what they have because they were taught that "good grades are everything, nothing else matters", unable to be creative with their own talent because it was destroyed by demanding them to be a grade pursuing robot

This matter is actually very concerning because in a way, it affects all of us. Imagine the future where everyone have a robot-like mind, everything becomes absolute and demanding, where everyone blames one another for whatever it is that they did wrong, just to get rid of competition. Wouldn't a world where everyone appreciates one another for their God-given talent be much better? A world where each individuals are appreciated for what they are, and not what people wants them to be? Hopefully, this will become a good material for you to reflect upon

As always, thanks for reading.

Existence

In our current era, where social media are widely used, the hunger for existence are being experienced by many. From the use of facebook to share one's own thought, to instagram to share our photo and experience, even to foursquare to tell people where we are, and other methods are used to prove our existence. Some might argue that those are for fun, but none could truly justify the truth that many people are becoming dependent upon it to prove their existence. Even privacy are being excluded simply to prove that they are there, they are alive, they "exist". This raises a good question, what is existence, truly? Michael from Vsauce did an excellent job at explaining "How people dissappear" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPBJgpK0Ulc ). His video explains, that even in this era of cctv's and continous watch people can still dissappear. Those disappearances could be because of accidents that can't be explained, missing dead body, or a simple mista...

Original

What does it mean to be original? What makes one certified to be called "original"? Or for that matter why is something called original while another isn't? It's a word we often use to describe something that we've never seen, heard, tasted, or experienced before. Something " new". Sometimes it's used as an adjective to describe someone who goes against the "mainstream" or that did something out of the ordinary, something "amazing" that impresses us. But what is it really? What is original? What does it mean to be original? Is it to simply do something someone has never seen, heard, tasted, or experienced before? Is it a lifestyle of always trying to take risk and do something "unknown"? What about people in the circus then? They can do incredible things with their body that almost no one else can do, yet they're not treated as "original" so much as a "freak". Let's take look then, maybe you...

Personal Privacy

Us humans, have this need of having a private space just for ourselves. In it we feel safe, secure, like in a world of our own, because of that we shared our deeprest thoughts, emotions, opinions, etc. inside of that space. That personal space where we can share everything that personal world of ours that we don't want anyone to know, except if we allow them to, is commonly called 'Privacy'. Most of us uses diaries or private journals to reflect on things, such as our daily lifes, or our actions, regrets, opinions, emotions, etc. and we wrote it down on that diary so that we can look back and take a liitle piece of lesson from it. But, what happens when that privacy is exposed? Well, let's think about it together, imagine your own world, you private thoughts, your deepest secret, your fears, and everything that you want to keep to yourselves is suddenly a reading material for public to read. Many of us would feel embarassed, sad, angry, and most of all, inva...
