Memory : It's importance It needs very little argument to convince the average thinking person of the great importance of memory, although even then very few begin to realize just how important is the function of the mind that has to do with the retention of mental impressions. The first thought of the average person when he is asked to consider the importance of memory, is its use in the affairs of every-day life, along developed and cultivated lines, as contrasted with the lesser degrees of its development. In short, one generally thinks of memory in its phase of "a good memory" as contrasted with the opposite phase of "a poor memory." But there is a much broader and fuller meaning of the term than that of even this important phase. It is true that the success of the individual in his every-day business, profession, trade or other occupation depends very materially upon the possession of a good memory. His value in any walk in life depends to a great ...

Why celebrations of festivals are necessary for human lives?  Unity in Diversity: In our country there is pluralistic society. The emotional realization of unity in diversity is our socio-cultural ethos and philosophical worldview. Nothing brings people together like festivals do. They play a pivotal role in nation-building; bringing people from every religious, economic and social background together. Festivals have both social and economic angles. In the chaotic and stressful planet we inhabit, happiness is overshadowed by negativity and insecurity and so the need for something that could bring positivity has been felt time and again. Festivals act like stress relievers and help us balance our emotions. More positivity naturally lowers negativity. It also provides an opportunity to reduce friction and brings estranged friends and relatives together in a bond of love. We are dependent on social heritage, which is a mixture of customs, traditions, moral values, attit...

Understanding Scientific text Scientific text uses different mental models than narrative text, and we are less skilled at using them. Scientific text that is structured in ways most similar to narrative text will be the easiest to process. Gaps in the text that require us to make inferences determine how easily the text can be understood. First of all, a reminder about situation models. A situation, or mental, model is a retrieval structure you construct from a text, integrating the information in the text with your existing knowledge. Your understanding of a text depends on its coherence; it’s generally agreed that for a text to be coherent it must be possible for a single situation model to be constructed from it (which is not to say a text that is coherent is necessarily coherent for you — that will depend on whether or not you can construct a single mental model from it). There are important differences in the situation models constructed for narrative and expository t...

How to charm people Humans often overlook the most obvious things about other humans—and I start with myself in making that judgment.So even though I know a fair amount about people, I can overlook basic things because I am caught up in the interplay that is humanity. When average people run into a highly charismatic,what is it that they recall about the person? Everyone who has an encounter with a decidedly charismatic person recounts the story in very similar fashion, regardless of whether the encounter went well or ended in tragedy. Whether it was, “He made me feel as though I was the only person in the room,”or “He made me feel as though he was divine,”it is always about a feeling and not facts. Followers of Charles Manson, David Koresh, and many other leaders of both cults and genuine religious sects have described their leaders as gods or godlike, just like this man who followed the Maharaji: “I believed he was the living incarnation of God,”said Joe Whalen in his pos...
