Should students get limited access to the Internet ?

Image
Helloooo !! So firstly sorry for vanishing. We both had a lot going on and we could not manage time well but we promise not to repeat it.  Today we will be talking about the Internet. Our lives revolve around the internet. These days the day begins with logging in the zoom, teams, google classroom, or any other respective site (all of them are  ) and ends by submitting late-night assignments. The random webinars that keep popping during the day and the long duration of online classes drain our energy.    With so much going on can we limit the internet? Firstly, let me be clear about the meaning of the  limitation . Limiting does not only mean minimizing access to the internet, it could also mean simply reducing the screen time. The real question is " DO WE NEED TO ?".  Parents believe we must, the statement "Can you please keep your device aside?! " says it all.  I believe we must limit access. At times, the internet may direct young adults to sites ...

ABOUT MEMORY

What is Memory and how to increase it? Ever, wondered how some peoples can remember long back while others tend to forget. What causes this difference? It is the way one works with their memory and uses it wisely. Our memory is a storehouse of information. It is similar to that of a computer just we aren’t that blessed that we can learn everything at one go. It consists of parts that work together to enhance memory. Today, we will learn how to boost our memory in a healthy manner Firstly, to learn skills to hone our memory we must discover how the memory works. So, for that let me give you a look in “THE STAGE MODEL OF MEMORY” Don’t panic this is how our memory works seem slightly complex but well we humans are also complex. Now let us break this into parts.  It all begins with a change in the environment i.e. the stimulus. Example: When our mom yells in the morning “WAKE UP”😂. That is then followed by our sensory memory which has a large capacity but a very small duration. Exampl...

Nature or Nurture?

 Nature or Nurture - which plays the biggest  role in who you are? Nature v/s nurture has been a point of debate for several ages and has created uncountable controversies. The topic of discussion today is the same. It is believed that intelligence can be viewed best as the product of complex interaction within nature and the environment. Heredity is something that- sets a range within which an individual develops. I know we have all heard " iske toh khoon mai hai "? at least once in our life. It is still believed that the daughter or son of a doctor is bound to be a doctor. Well, why not actually go into the insight of this claim. The evidence for hereditary influences on intelligence came mainly from studies on twins and adopted children. Twin studies: The intelligence of identical twins reared together correlates almost 0.90.  Twins separated early in childhood also show considerable similarity in their intellectual, personality, and behavioral characteristics.  The int...

Maintaining well-being

 A HEALTHY YOU A healthy body is not only being free from diseases. It also means the  complete well-being of mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-  being. In these tough times, we have all been working on our  immunity from having several multivitamins to adding several new additions in our diet. So, today let us talk about ways to boost our well-being holistically. "We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves." - Dalai Lama If we learn to be in harmony with ourselves, the inner positivity will spread radically. Spiritual health is as important as any other health. No matter what you do, it is not going to satisfy until and unless feelings and mind are acknowledged. These are a few things to balance spiritual health. 1) Catharsis Do not suppress your feelings. Hiding them will only lead to bottling it up, and eventually, you will be lost in your own thoughts and feelings. Venting out will help you from not having a confus...
