“what could individuale do  “

Is being in group can help others to do better in society? Well, this article “Individuals in Groups” adapted from “In Group we shrink “by carol Tavris talks about the reaction when people in group, and how it different if they are alone?  According to the author showed an experiment about woman got crashed and people who were in group heard the crash and everybody waiting another to do something for help the lady. Instead the person who were alone. When he heard the crash he went immediately ask for help.  I believe when someone is alone can be more serious and have responsibility, because when you are in group you behave differently than when they by themselves.
Most people in this world had different experience with different mentality of people. The article mention “Most people if they observe some disaster or danger on their own…..will at least call for help “which means. When someone observe something bad it’s going to happen, that person could do something or call someone to help him. Similarly, when I was in my country I used to hang out a lot with my friends in the street. One day we went out of the city for vacation. My friend ask us to go with him in downtown in first day we arrived, as we walking in the street we saw a man try to rub a young lady. We were staring at them like nothing happened. Suddenly we sow a person running to help the lady, and then we moved on to see if the girl she is alright or she needs ambulance. From my experience I learned that people are in group are less responsible than you are in group .
Furthermore, people who have had a strong personality could do something useful to society. If they see something bad it may change it to good things. Carol Tavris, talked in the article that “the more people in group , the lazy each individual in it become “. That is to say each person in group had his own idea and different perspective to see things. Especially when you have a group of people just waiting to say something and they repeat it  after you. For example, I saw a documentary about teenager and their experience of smoking and doing drugs . had interview with a person who addicted to drugs, and asked them who was the responsible for doing this kind of thing. the kids were honest with television, and mentioned that particular friends when they being together could do anything to make them having fun. even it is dangerous for their health. just like the article when don't have a strong personality  it could affect you in front of society.
In conclusion, there are some situation in our life needs to think what we have to do, at the right moment, , by thinking independently so we can make a better decision without help from anybody.

Are the ads helpful or just helpless?


In days and age, advertisements become one of the main things in our life. We can see it all over the place. Well, this article “Hype” by Kalle Larson,l talks about how adds widespread in our life, and how it affect our mind. In addition some company mentioned about a new technology  serve the society, so they put adds at the shopping place at reason to show the costumer and try to make it famous. Having advertisement in our life make it easy to discover a new thing. However, doing things over and over its kind of exaggerating to person who see the ads every time and all over the place.
                Firstly, most people aren’t mindful about advertisement and how good is it in our life. Without it everything will be a complicated and vague. As the article point out “advertisements are the most prevalent and toxic of the mantel pollutants “which means ads are the most popular in our life and how it contribute in the society. Back then when I used to live in my country. I remembered a commercial they use to bring it in TV all the time was about how to use a laptop and what the difference between others is. This commercial showed this mark “hp” it’s the best and there is no other mark like her. After a while I get convinced, and I bought it that was the idea of the author when he said adds are “toxic of the mental pollutants “. So this commercial effect on my mind as a result of this commercial.   
                Secondly, doing thing over and over make a person sick of it, even that thing are useful. According to the article “ a company called video cart installs interactive screens on supermarket carts so the you can see ads while you shop “ that is to say, you can see adds everywhere you go which is exaggerating and make a person get away from it. For example, I red in article about a product called “wella. It’s a chemical product. The y make the hair shiny and supple, so that product used to bring it every day in TV and people start hitting watching TV because of it. As a result of this example showed that doing thing over and over it could be a negative things to any company.so on the person who watch the TV it make him feel bored and entertaining with TV any more that’s all we sees ads everywhere.   
                In conclusion,  Its not all the time ads make us feel happy and learned new things. it could get you disappeared and sick of everything  you see in this world by doing repetition. What makes people stressed out in their  is the routing, and some commercial they do that.
