BECOME ANTI-SOCIAL ( MEDIA)

For all the good that connecting with old friends on social media can create, it can also do bad things for your brain. You've probably had that experience where you go to check Facebook for just a few minutes and three hours later wonder what happened the time. ( Look at the kitties!) Or you anxiously await your friends "Likes"and ponder when you turned into a lab rat pressing the lever for pellets. A German study showed that one in three people say they feel worse after spending time on Facebook than they did before, with " worse" meaning lonely, frustrated, and /or sad. Another study showed that the more people used Facebook , the worse they felt. Researchers call this " Facebook depression. " So much for the joy of connecting with friends. And that thing about the lab rat?

its true: being on social media can feed your brains tendency toward addiction. It wants reward , and whats more rewarding than seeing a thumbs-up on your post? One study at Stanford University showed that people who spent a lot time on social media have trouble filtering out unimportant information and have more trouble remembering things. But that doesn't mean you have to quit social media cold turkey and go live in a cabin in the woods. In moderation, connection with others via social media can help you stay informed, help you express yourself, and help you become part of a greater community. The key word is moderation.

What Do You Mean By Rational Animal ?

I think before we start talking who deserved to be rational ? First we need to find out the proper definition of rationality, as I was searching about meaning of the Rationality I found that it has different specialized meanings in Philosophy, Economics, Sociology, Psychology and so on. Since I interest in philosophy I thought it would be better to share some philosopher theory and my opinion. According to Aristotle, humans are the rational animal. The borderline between rational and irrationality is fundamental to many aspects of human life including the law, mental health, and language interpretation. And my opinion is that we are a thinking center and thinking itself is a parts of reasoning. When do we think? whenever we try to find solutions for problems or before doing something we are tend to grasp the reasoning, since we are rational creature, sharing, arguing, discussing, working together are enough witness, to believe that we are the best creature ever!

The title sounds very ridiculous, top of that I am not biologist, don't flip the page. read the article to the end and you would be agreeing with me! As human beings,we are social creatures by nature, we like to have pets but not all the time, because this is not what we designed for, we are not birds to fly to the sky, we are not wild animals to don't care, because they do not have human level feeling or perception! We don't like feeling alone, and our bodies and brains actually function better when we are surrounded by others. If you google about "Why humans are necessary for other human?" I am sure you will find thousand of articles. Lets see what Psychologist said about it. Whether a person lives in isolation or not, feeling a lack of social connectedness can be painful plus being alone can result in negative reactions related to loneliness (sadness, hopelessness so on.. ) and also psychologist recommend to share your feeling. Now we need to find out to who ...
