All The cool kids are quitting FACEBOOK!!!

Facebook has become an essential thing in the society. Does everyone have an account with facebook?? I did  before but after reading this article from Jenna Wortham, i soon came to realize what she was saying and deactivated mine. Want to know why? Let me summarize what she is trying to convey.

According to her writing, the Facebook main selling point is that they keep and build ties among close friends and colleagues. This is for those who uses Facebook but for those who are not using it Making them feel like alienated. People feels like they are connected just through looking at the photos, status update and stop calling out each other.
According to Jenna, many of them who stopped using Facebook are actually concerns about their privacy. It is a boil down to trust issues said the people who studied social networking. In her writing as well, she brings out the research of Amanda Lenhart who do a research on teens, children and families at Pew Internet and American Life Project . It showed results that people on Facebook are tend to have a general sense of trust towards others and in institutions. People who are not on Facebook are actually afraid of what that is going to happen in the future when they are too trusting in others.
 The executives of Facebook are also expect not everyone's going to sign-up on Facebook but instead they are working quite hard on keeping the current user to stay on the site longer as that is the only way they are able to show ads and gain profits.
That is the reason i quit using Facebook and it makes sense isn't it ?

Don't worry Facebook You won't be missed. 

There will be something better to replace you.

THE DEGREE OF HAPPINESS

   Bertrand Russell wrote a very interesting article that spoke on mainly what are the degree or type of happiness. From his point of view in the article there are 2 sorts of happiness in this world. On one sort of happiness is the one that is open to any human being. According to Bertrand Russell, these sort of happiness does not need for intellectual sources to depend on. For an example that the author gave, his gardener was actually happy hunting down rabbits that damages his garden. Other people will sees the rabbit hunting as a not enjoyable thing yet to him it is something that makes him happy. The happiness that is open to any human being are not based on natural laws belief, any sorts of fad, fashion and creeds that intellectual people needs to obtain happiness in their life.

  The other sort of happiness that Bertrand Russell proposed was the sort that only for those who possess writing skill or reading skill or both. This sort of happiness was mainly for the science person or artiste during his time. But he stresses that during his time, the science people was the happiest upon his observation as these science people are made of simpler emotions compared to the artiste who are much more complex in range of emotions. As he explain in his article, the science people are easily derived by their work. So they are able to eat happily or even get married. For the artiste it is a different story as these sort of people tends to have complex thinking in life such as they are bound to think they need to be unhappy in marriage. Not only that, if a single person said they are not able to understand their paintings, poem or any sort of artwork, they will think that their work is not good enough or it is a bad product instead of the scientist way of thinking it that the person simply does not have the sufficient knowledge to understand their work.  

That is my comment upon reading this interesting article of 'The degree of happiness". Thank you for reading..  

CRITICAL THINKING PROCESS

Critical thinking is actually a process of decision making that involves certain criteria in order to obtain the best solution. In the process of critical thinking problem consideration, claims, questions or situation are taken into account before making decision. Critical thinking is important as it helps them in making decision scenario such as ‘How to solve it best’, ‘Whether to accept or reject’’ and answering how to answer the question best.
