Reflection#2

-

A few weeks ago, I was waiting for the train when suddenly an elderly lady fell on the escalator. At the train station in the city center of the rush hour there were a lot of people who saw this accident and only three people ran up to this lady: me, my friend and man. This lady was in shock, she had a lot of bags with her, we could not get her out of the stairs, and all people just looked at it but nobody moved to help us.Unfortunately, more and more often I meet with the fact that the other person is invisible to some people. When someone needs help, everyone just looks instead of doing something useful. I read the article recently and I have the same opinion that we are in a sense programmed to help others that helping others is rooted in us, so why do not we pay attention to others, and when we see something, why we do not help? Most people feel anonymous and think that someone else will help. Others think that they can do something wrong in helping others, that they will be discredited in front of everyone. Some people also think only about themselves, not being aware of other people's lives.I hope that this problem will be smaller and we will notice more than just the tip of our nose.

    There has been famous psychological experiments investigating this problem called "the Bystander Effect". E.g. whether we help others or not in a public place depends on how many people there are - ther more people are present, the less likely we are to help.You may want to read more about it.

Would you like to turn vegetarian? Why?

-
I would like to become a vegetarian for moral and ethical reasons. People kill innocent and defenseless animals to satisfy their own needs, they are really selfish, they feel a stronger species, so they started to rule over the weaker species, just because animals have no voice and can not defend themselves. People decide about the life of other animals, decide which animals are to eat and which to love and live in the house. People totally and without any scruples subjugated the lives of animals without thinking that animals are also living creatures and have the right to life.

What does it mean to be a real man?

-
There are a lot of stereotypes in our world about the characteristics and behaviors of men. From an early age they are perceived as strong, confident and almost without feelings, but being a real man is a lot of different character traits. A real man, of course, should be strong but at the same time he should be responsible, honest, helpful, resourceful, intelligent, caring and supportive.  He should defend his relatives. He is aware of what he is doing and doesn't run away from problems, he helps to find in a difficult situation. He is always truthful and honest.

Does school prepare us for life?

-
In my opinion school doesn't prepare us for adult life. The school teaches only a piece of knowledge from various fields of science, most of which won't be needed in adult life anyway and we will never use it. There is a long list of skills that we should acquire at school and which will be much needed in life, for example "motivating oneself to act". Apparently, school grades should motivate us at school, but it's just the opposite, they more often demotivate us. At school, we should learn to organize our work, our school duties should teach us organization but it is not. Most students don't know and can't  plan their time well. It is very important in life to deal with stress in difficult situations, school doesn't teach it, and as it already tries, these are activities that don't help. Assessments and competition between students cause an increase in stress that not everyone can manage.  School should teach us how to work in a group and communic...
