In the first chapter, the author talks about how most people’s attention is on eye-catching images, instead of what is going on in the world. People care more about murders, airplane crashes, etc. instead of the exploding populations or the growth in the amount of nuclear weapons that exist. Because of this, our environment starts to deteriorate. The environment will continue to deteriorate, and such events will be out of control until the human race realizes just how selectively the environment persuades the human mind, and how the biological and cultural history determines our comprehension. The book is about fundamental connections to our past and how the human race can “retrain” for a new world of the future. The book’s intent is to help people from all walks of life, educators, decision makers, physicians, businessmen, etc., change the way they make decisions. People might begin to change and secure the human future if they understood the fundamental roots of the many problems we face. At no point in history, has the human race had the power to destroy its civilization and ruin a lot of the planet’s life-support systems in a matter of hours. Over the past three decades scientific evidence developed many forms of the nature of both the human mind and predicament, and has now pointed to the way to the changes needed. The evidence of this has been from many different forms of studies, including neuroscience, evolutionary biology, climatology, geochemistry, and cognitive science.…

Many areas of student behavior might be influenced by pluralistic ignorance. The practice of hooking up and other uncommitted sexual relations have been influenced by pluralistic ignorance. In a 2000 study it was shown that eighty-six percent of men and eighty-eight percent of women hooked up during their college careers. This process of hooking up has become normative in recent years because students believe that their attitudes and beliefs are different from the norm. Males and females both believe that their sexes are more sexually active than they are in reality. Therefore women try to conform to the norm of hooking up and engage in sexual behavior because they believe that they are unique in feeling discomfort. On the other hand, men…

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity,” explained Martin Luther King, Jr. Even forty-five year after his death, Dr. King still continues to preach a very bold message to the world. Although stupidity and ignorance may seem very similar, they are very different. Ignorance is the unwillingness to evolve whereas stupidity is the inability to evolve.…
The pressure to be perfect. The pressure to be skinny like a twig, the pressure to look like a model. This is one of the main problems in our society that is showing up more and more in this generation. Have you ever felt so bad about yourself, that you went to desperate measures? Have someone ever said something to you that completely made you think otherwise of yourself? One by one, more and more girls have been dealing with this. How so? Let me explain.…
The role of ignorance in the novel, The Things They Carried, pertains around the idea of life and death and the way the soldiers become affected by certain events. Most notably, Azar is ignorant of his surroundings. He views Vietnam as a game, as he is always messing around and being immature. For example, “Azar shrugged. After a second he reached out and clapped [Tim] on the shoulder, not roughly but not gently either. ‘What’s real?’ he said. ‘Eight months in fantasyland, it tends to blur the line. Honest to god, I sometimes can’t remember what real is’”(O’Brien 204). Mentioned in the chapter, “Ghost Soldiers”, Azar explains to Tim why he justifies the two of them scaring Jorgensen. Through this quote, we are able to see the “positive” ignorance that is displayed.…
The topic I chose for my essay was number 3, “Why would those in control of a society want to suppress knowledge? Why are ideas dangerous?” In my personal belief I feel that leaders suppress knowledge for our own good. In today's society this is not a popular belief, which is exactly why I believe it’s the right one. Today’s generation wants all of the information, no matter the cost. I think that their logic for wanting to know is perfectly fine, but they just need to understand that sometimes there is information that we can’t handle.…
