Self- reflective is the sixth feature of cognition, which is defined as one who mediates about the person he or she has become and self reflect on that, similar to what Mr. Nazerman did when he was lonely. This feature of cognition applies to Mr. Nazerman’s personality change. After Mr. Nazerman realized how his loneliness was affecting his personality and outlook on life he changed his ways and became less of a hateful person. He realized that his behavior exemplifies maladaptive use of cognition because his attitude towards life generated a monstrous person. Mr. Nazerman was going through a difficult time with losing his family but that only made it worse by making him become into a hateful negative person, which does not benefit the situation …show more content…
In the film, The Pawnbroker, Mr. Nazerman illustrates a great example for this feature of cognition. At first, he was a negative isolated man who had no one to interact with after his family was taken away from him. He shut himself to anyone who would try to be social with him because he was hurt with how society treated him and his family. Until he realized that he was going nowhere in life without the social world, he stepped out of the box and saw how he truly existed from interacting with people. This idea relates to us today, we have all these social network sites that help us interact with different people outside of our nationality or who impose different traditions than we do, thus we have a different outlook on different cultures and learn from them. Mumford states in his article “Reflections: Prologue to Our Time”, “Technological change and human improvement are now coupled together, and also by definition, the force that made for advance were inevitable, inviolable, and irresistible” (Mumford pg. 44). This idea Mumford makes, represents adaptive use of cognition because people now use social media to express who they are and their everyday thoughts, people now have become more social through these different social network
The foundation and development of a human being stems from the individual’s position within his/her life (for instance, his/her opinion, stance, about oneself in regards to his/her own expectations) and within his/her communities as a member of a household, a race or even as a gender. The key factor of this notion, take in consideration the vast knowledge a person can evaluate against their own understanding. A person emerge into the world as a blank slate that unconsciously and continuously devouring and weaving in stories told in voices that evokes correlation identification with an image created by a mother, father, brothers, sister, aunt, uncle, cousins, grandma, grandpa, and even nicknamed strangers into their root and skin.

On one hand, new technology allows for people to grow because of the immediate responses that they provided to the user. These immediate answers that are given to the user allows for them to succeed because the answers allow them to understand how they are wrong and how they can succeed in the future. Gilbert explains in his essay how when people seem to fail in the world we often accept a “fake explanation [which] can cause us to tuck an event away and move along to the next one” (142). However, with the impact of new technologies, these “fake explanations” are few and far between since computers now give an actual explanation for the failure. With computers and technology advancing at a fast rate, these “false explanations” which could be given are beginning to die out.

Nicholas Carr, What the Internet is doing to Our Brains The Shallows (2010) asserts that, “The price we pay to assume technology’s power is alienation.” He supports this assertion by saying, “They both ultimately achieve their mental and behavioral effects by shaping the synaptic organization of the brain.” Also by, “ We long to keep it activated.” The writer concludes in order for people to improve their thoughts, they will have to cope with the new technology and how they think. Carr believes that technology is taking over how people interact with each other.
Although one’s behavior can be the same as others, especially if they are in the same setting, however those who are in two completely different contexts will experience different reactions, just dependent on exactly where they are. Furthermore, this theory demonstrates that once we have been in a specific setting long enough, then that’s when our behaviors will become consistent over time. On the other hand, individuals might experience particular actions because they arrive at a specific setting, with an already preconceived idea of what to expect causing them to alter their behaviors based on their thoughts about the background. Another reason might be that we adjust our responses because we are unsure of how others might view or accept us being in their environments. Either way, individuals might not be aware of it, but once our surroundings change, then our behaviors is changed as

Social media has a major effect on today’s society. People are being manipulated, influenced, and even brainwashed from apps and websites they use every day. Social media is used to hold social interactions, promote events or products, and keep people up to date on all kinds of news. Because social media can do so much for its users, it basically controls every aspect of their lives. In Aldous Huxley’s, “Brave New World”, social media wasn’t controlling their society, but other technologies like the Bokonovsky’s Process, the Feelies, and Soma were.

Ancient forms of human communication include cave drawings, smoke signals, symbols, and carrier pigeons. During the late 1800’s, communication became more advanced with the invention of the typewriter and the telephone. Roughly one hundred years later, a military project resulted in what we know today as the internet. With a little innovation, the internet made social interactions between people easier than ever, although, the convenience may come at a cost. Some theories suggest that heavy reliance on social media for human interaction will weaken communication skills, hinder meaningful social interactions, and negatively impact personal relationships.
