Irving Olson Reflection

250 Words1 Page

The most interesting thing I learned from the video is Irving Olson's formula to live up to 100 years. Honestly, I had no idea that having a good spouse could influence our health and age. Irving states that having a good spouse makes up 50% of the formula and that it is an essential part of it. I did imagine that moderation would be part of his formula because if you do something too much it can be dangerous. To start aging successfully, we must do everything with moderation, stay active, eat well, sleep enough, and also engage with the world. Being socially connected is beneficial because you can feel fulfilled and happy. We must also find something that we enjoy so that we won't have negative thoughts that prevent our success. I think that

  • Loneliness In David Ludden's Does Using Social Media Make You Lonely

    To further convince the reader, Ludden uses a study referenced in a journal by the credible Duke University psychologist, Jenna Clark. The study addresses college students and how the more Facebook friends that freshman had, the less socially adjusted they felt, whereas with seniors, the more Facebook friends they had, the more socially adjusted they felt (Ludden). This was due to a majority of the freshmans' friends being friends from high school or back home, whereas most of the seniors' friends were friends that they had made in college, therefore they were more connected with them because they interacted with them both online and in person. This study makes it easier to understand how the effect that social media has on you fully depends on your use of it. It makes sense that one would feel isolated and less connected to their environment when they are spending their free time connecting with those who aren’t around them.

  • Paul Harvey Reflection

    262 Words  | 2 Pages

    I had a History professor at Central Texas College during my undergraduate studies that was able to spread her excitement about the subject like a virus. It seemed that she was able to relate every single lesson in the syllabus to our lives, which made me care more, because I could identify myself with what I was learning. She was always able to provide a day-by-day digest of historical events regarding all services of the United States military, which amazed me because this occurred before the Internet was the search engine that it has become today. She was like watching a live Paul Harvey “The Rest of the Story” segment.

The internet has helped to get people help fast. It helps people who want to learn new things, and it helps people who want to share what they have learned.

    However despite being constantly connected, people are still feeling alone so why? With the ability to be able to keep in touch with everyone why are people lonelier than ever? The issue with social media is that people only share the good things in their life and never the bad making people judge themselves based off of other people’s so called “perfect” lives, it also makes others try to keep up with the same standard as their friends making them want to post only the good things in their life which can also make people viewing their profile not truly connect with that person as they don’t see the person’s ‘true life’ but only the good moments.

    Well President Passey, it has been a good week. I have noticed that with a companionship again, rather than a trio, there are a few changes. It is interesting to see how the buffer of a third comp changes the dynamic between the individual members of the trio as well. Elder Parkman and I have gotten to know each others teaching styles and favorite scriptures, concerns about the area, and personal weaknesses and strengths much better in the last few days. I love it, I feel like he has a ton of experience and knowledge I can benefit from.

    I briefly noticed that Mrs. Turner wrote “be for” on the board the sentence would originally say “What are you going to be for Halloween?” She then erased the two words and wrote “do on” because of cultural differences in the classroom of the fact that not everybody celebrates Halloween. That way the question is open to every student in the classroom to answer. I think very important to not just assume that everyone comes from the same background and religion. Each student shares what they are going to do on Halloween.

    Although this short story could be considered as an easy read, the message that Andy Weir conveyed had an impact on how I viewed life. Initially, when I gazed at the length of the short story, I didn’t expect much. It was hard for me to image how a story that short could have such a strong effect on me. Even though I view myself as an agnostic, meaning that I don’t exactly have an opinion on reincarnation or the afterlife, this story inexplicably astonished me. In fact, it blew my mind!

    Connections allow you to interface with the general population you are nearest to. In the event that connections did not happen life would exhaust and boring. If we do not communicate with others, we would not have the capacity to share our thought or pick up a people regard. In the event that my associations with my loved ones finished, I would have nothing to expect when daily was awful, or in the event that you simply needed a decent time. Connections influence individuals to know who a man truly is, and once know himself well, he will know what makes him happy as well.
