Individual Groups


SUMMARY

       Most of the people have different reactions when there is a disaster or danger,when they are individuals or in a group. According to the author Carol Tavris people that is in a group become lazier, they don't react fast because they think the someone else can do it, but if the person is alone become more responsible and try to find a way to fix the problem. In my opinion people react faster when they are in a group,because they see more people that can start helping to prevent that something bad happen.

      When people in my country in Colombia are in groups it seems that they help more or they react faster, when there is a disaster or a danger. My mother and i  had a experience when we were living there, we went to a dangerous neighborhood which we did not know that it was so dangerous. I was with my Ippod in my hand and there was a guy following us and he was getting close to us to rob us, but at the same time a group of five people from across the street came to us like if they knew us, so the guy that was trying to rob us went away and thank God nothing bad happen. One person from the group explain us that it was very dangerous to walk around there, with out a person that they know.This maybe happen because the people that they were in group they knew each other so they decided to help us. If is a group of people that they don't know each other they can act different because there is no one to give instructions on how are they going to help.
 
       With my experience i think that when there is more people around we should react faster because there is a lot of people that is able to help and we will prevent bad things to happen. In this case my mother and i did not get hurt thanks to this five people because they came to u to defend us.

      In conclusion people have there own way to act when they are alone or they are with other people around.This is because they have they nature of individual or they nature of groups. When they are in groups people become lazier because they think that others can help, but when the people is alone they try to do anything they can as faster as they can to help.

I KNOW THE TRUE SO DON'T BOTHER ME WITH FACTS

  
           Everybody have their own believes and their own facts without thinking or knowing if is true or  false. According to Jeffrey Kluger the adapter of ' I Know the Truth, so Don't bother me with facts," Kelly Garrett and Erik Nisbet  did a new study and their conclusion was   that its easy to manipulate peoples belief systems with insinuating pictures or inflammatory quotes. I  agree because most of the people believe in things by rumors or facts, which I understand because they could be a lot of things that they learn or know by facts and rumors but they are not interested enough to find the true.

           In my experience one belief that I have is in my religion I am catholic and since I was little my mother used to tell me that every time that I want to to thank god or ask for something I was supposed to do it in front of a frame with a picture of god .Now that I understand more of religion and I speak with people from other religions, it is a strong belief that if we pray in front of the image god is going to help us. People from other religions say that when catholic people do that is because they are believing or putting their hope on the image not on god. Which I agree but my family said that their fine and they have everything they want because they pray that way. Which I don't know what to think, but because all catholic people say it, they make people believe is true. Which I don't agree with them because I pray in any place and I believe that God listens to me.


             In conclusion people are easily distracted by rumors and facts with out knowing if they are true or false. if people have their own believes is very hard to make them change their way of thinking .

                                                                  HYPE

              Advertisements on this days are use in a very intensive way or different ways, such as TV,radio,or interactive screens. Most of the things that people use on a daily bases has a logo or a product message that it had been show on TV or interactive screens.

             In the USA the economy is very important this is why different companies are doing as much as they can to sell a lot and make more money,this is why they are trying to get a lot of advertisements to make a lot of publicity of their own products. For the people the lives in the USA is normal to see the same commercial in different things, such as a paper or on TV hear the advertisement in the radio or on a  interactive screen. Even when people is at home everything that they use have a logo or a product message that it's been heard on the radio or seen on TV. In my case my day off all i do is clean the house and listen to the radio, when i'm cleaning the house the products that i used i'm always listening to the advertisement of the same product or the competition, that is the same thing with a different brand,name and logo.
           
                 Advertisements are helpful for people because when people wants to buy something most of the times the have the same product but with a different log or brand that people get to choose what they think is better.This way people get what they like. Advertisements are also good for the companies because they get to get better on the advertisement and the product so people can prefer them, and that will make them a good choice thanks to the commercial and this will make them grow each day.
     
                   In conclusion advertisements can help the economy in the country  the companies and also can help all people that lives in the country. For the country bring more money for the country if the advertisements is very good can spread around the world and it will become a popular company.For the people is very helpful because they get to know new things and try them, and choose what they think is better for them.
