Thompson reports that with the increase of technology there has been an increase of ways to share ideas and opinions (352). One way this has benefited human society is, “Our social awareness is shifting, too, as we develop ESP-like ‘ambient awareness,’ a persistent sense of what others are doing and thinking” (Thompson 352). Simply put, the technology humanity has presently is making the population more aware of those around them. Because of the increased awareness that people have, they also have an expanded knowledge on foreign affairs, thus making conventional political problems, such as “pluralistic ignorance”, invalid (352). In other words, technology has a positive influence on humanity by making individuals more connected, thus allowing for political and social change to happen more quickly.…

I pay much more attention to the current events now as I see people dealing with the effects all around me. I realize how arrogant and ignorant both I, and the people from back home were to not pay attention to the issues others are facing. Just because most of us had it good, doesn’t mean that everyone else does. Although I still have a long way to go and I wouldn’t deem myself educated on every problem, I feel as though I have a much greater understanding of my surroundings.…
We now rely on it so much in our everyday lives that we don’t realize the effects it has on us whether they’re good or bad. Technology is great because it helps us stay in contact and in communication but that’s all virtual, what about real life? We have to think how this is going to great affect the children of this generation and the generations to come! Will we be smarter or just have something that is going to be smart for us? Limiting this access is going to take lots of time, work and commitment that many are going to have to try and put a lot of effort in to before it gets out of hand.…
Some initiatives I can take to develop my cultural competency is read more from the UN website. Scrolling through the website, I realize more and more that the UN is a larger and expanded version of the Equity and Inclusion Team! Another great way I would further continue my cultural competency would be to take advantage of the greatest resources I have, my friends. My friends hold so much information about their culture and their backgrounds. I believe talking to them on a more personal level about all aspects of their life, and exchanging information will help me become more equipped with my expanded knowledge of other…

The theory suggests that positive emotions will enhance our awareness, create better outlooks and thought. The “broadening” aspect of this theory is that positive emotions allow us to expand our views and how we process information. This in turn leads to us thinking in a new and creative way. Our expanded thinking and actions in turn “build” into new important psychological and intellectual thoughts and processes that allow us to grow as a person. These positive emotions will then widen our senses and thus increase our understanding by seeing the “bigger picture” as Fredickson stated.…
