      This is the author's definition of what play is, but I feel that play does not necessarily have to be social. Sometimes people play games by themselves to pass the time - is that still considered social?

      This makes me wonder if play plays a role in forming culture itself. Similar to the chicken or the egg question, does play form culture or does culture form play?

      I find it interesting how the author asserts play as a universal truth, yet states other similar abstractions can be denied. As of right now, I don't see why play is an abstraction that cannot be denied while the abstraction of truth or seriousness can be denied.

      Play as a concept definitely doesn't sound rational. If play was meant to just develop qualities needed for survival, other habits would be more efficient. However, I also believe that beings just need to have some fun to make life worth living.

    7. ှ Òှ $ 'ှ 

      I find this statement interesting. Is it possible to measure play using the empirical evidence we usually think of when we think of research? How do historians approach researching abstract concepts such as play? Are there standard procedures to study concepts such as play?

      I find this interesting because I also assumed that play is meant to serve some evolutionary function, such as building skills needed to survive in the world. I'm curious to know what everyone's hypotheses are about the function of play. Furthermore, is there a general consensus people have reached about the function of play or is the community divided across theories about the function of play?

      This makes me wonder if play is a form of training that socializes a being to survive in the world, similar to how play can be used to educate kids.

      This make me wonder whether play is essential to survival. Is entertainment or other interactions similar to play necessary for civilizations to form or species to survive?

      I remember in class the question of whether play is strictly limited to people was asked. I wonder what the argument for that would be, because it seems very obvious to me that play is a phenomenon found across species. Adding to that, I wonder what species could arguably not play. For example, do insects play?

      With today's scientific knowledge, I would equate this to the release of dopamine and other neurotransmitters in our brains during play. It is part of the reason we “enjoy” play and also incentivizes the next instance of play.

      This theory was really interesting to me because it could have very different meanings for humans and other animals. For animals, roughhousing as a youth could prepare them and help build experience for fights over resources as an adult. For humans, our early childhood toys consist of things like matching shapes, completing simple puzzles, music makers, etc. This seems more suited to learning logic and fine motor skills--important skills for human adults.

    1. The UN defineshuman development on the basis of three key indicators: GDP per capita,life expectancy, and educational attainment.

      UN’s Human Development Index (HDI) = GDP + health + education.

    2. An “efficient” economy is one which maximizes, throughexchange, the usefulness of that initial endowment

      Allocate efficiency = maximizing usefulness of existing resources through exchange, ignoring fairness or distribution.

    3. Real wages stagnated in most countries, in the face ofhigher unemployment, attacks on unions, and reductions in income securityand other measures that supported workers’ bargaining power. Yet productivitycontinued to grow, thanks both to employers’ renewed power in the workplace andto continued technological progress. Figure 8.1 illustrates the sharp divergence ofreal wages from labour productivity in the US economy that coincides perfectlywith the arrival of neoliberalism.

      As we move to the right of the graph in figure 8.1 and it widens, this makes me wonder about other countries. Specifically the divergence in countries with higher labor protections (the Netherlands) or those with little to no labor protections (the Phillipines).

    4. There is still much debate and controversy within economics today – althoughnot nearly as much as there should be. Economics instruction in most English-speaking countries conforms especially narrowly to neoclassical doctrine; thereis more diversity in economics in continental Europe, Latin America, and a fewother countries.

      As Stanford critiques neoclassicism and the idea of "automatic balance," I wonder what the laws would be like for the minimum wage or the unemployed. That would just not balance supply and demand. Stanford shows us in chapter 7 that unemployment is not neutral since it just increases bargaining power.

    5. Creative companies can devise all sorts of different ways of earning profits.Some are useful: developing higher-quality new products, and developing better,more efficient ways of producing them. But competitive markets can also rewardcompanies for doing things that are utterly useless, from the perspective of humanwelfare (see Table 7.3). And if lax laws and regulations allow them to, profit-seekingcompanies will do things that are downright destructive to workers, communities,customers, and innocent bystanders.

      Previously, Stanford mentioned the different strategies that businesses use to earn the most profit using absolute and relative surplus value. Stanford includes the use of extending hours of workers (absolute surplus) and raising productivity per hour (relative surplus). Which strategy is more productive and used dominantly today, and why? In chapter 8, he analyzes technological productivity, which would be relative surplus, in my opinion.

    6. Scarcity is a normal condition. Humans are “endowed” witharbitrary amounts of useful resources.

      Neoclassical economics assumes scarcity as permanent and resources as given.

    7. Now you can return home. Congratulations! You’ve done a lot more than just takea stroll. You’ve conducted a composite economic profile of your own community

      stanford emphasizes that everyday observation gives real insight into economic life, without relying on statistics.

    8. Economics and politics have always gone hand-in-hand. Indeed, the firsteconomists called their discipline “political economy.” The connections betweeneconomics and politics reflect, in part, the importance of economic conditions topolitical conditions. The well-being of the economy can influence the rise and fallof politicians and governments, even entire social systems.But here, too, the influence goes both ways. Politics also affects the economy– and economics itself. The economy is a realm of competing, often conflictinginterests. Determining whose interests prevail, and how conflicts are managed,is a deeply political process. (Neoclassical economists claim that anonymous“market forces” determine all these outcomes, but don’t be fooled: what theycall the “market” is itself a social institution in which some people’s interests areenhanced at the expense of others’.) Different economic actors use their politicalinfluence and power to advance their respective economic interests. The extent towhich groups of people tolerate economic outcomes (even unfavourable ones) alsodepends on political factors: such as whether or not they believe those outcomesare “natural” or “inevitable,” and whether or not they feel they have any power tobring about change.Finally, the social science which aims to interpret and explain all this scrabbling,teeming behaviour – economics – has its own political assumptions and biases.In Chapter 4 we’ll review how most economic theories over the years have beenmotivated by political considerations. Modern economics (including this book!) isno different: economics is always a deeply political subject.

      This passage explains the strong relationship between economics and politics. Economic theories themselves carry political assumptions. Knowing that political influences economy.

    9. he economy must be a very complicated, volatile thing. At least that’s how it seemsin the business pages of the newspaper. Mind-boggling stock market tables. Chartsand graphs. GDP statistics. Foreign exchange rates. It’s little wonder the media turnto economists, the high priests of this mysterious world, to tell us what it means,and why it’s important.

      This passage highlights how the economy is complex due to being an average person in the US. Because of this, society relies on economists through data.

    10. Economics encompasses several sub-disciplines. Economic history; moneyand finance; household economics; labour studies and labour relations; businesseconomics and management; international economics; environmental economics;and others. A broad (and rather artificial) division is often made betweenmicroeconomics (the study of the economic behaviour of individual consumers,workers, and companies) and macroeconomics (the study of how the economyfunctions at the aggregate level)

      This section sows that the economy is a broad field that ranges from many different global trade. and shows the different between micro and macro. My question is: why do micro and macro have a stronger influence on overall range in our economy?

    11. Economics is the study of human economic behaviour: the production anddistribution of the goods and services we need and want. Hence, economicsis a social science, not a physical science.

      I think this definds the economics as the study of human choices and how much it would emphasize the idea of economy in a social science because it primary focuses on people's behavior. My question is: why do we think its important to classify economics as a social science ?

    1. At home, most users once had a single computer with a slow modem connection to the office, the Internet, or both. Today, network-connection speeds once available only at great cost are relatively inexpensive in many places, giving home users more access to more data. These fast data connections are allowing home computers to serve up web pages and to run networks that include printers, client PCs, and servers. Many homes use firewalls to protect their networks from security breaches. Firewalls limit the communications between devices on a network.

      This passage describes how the home computing has evolved with faster and more affordable network connections. Modern home networks can include multiple devices like PCs, printers, and servers, and can even serve web pages. Firewalls are commonly used to protect these networks by controlling and limiting communications between devices.

    2. Today, web technologies and increasing WAN bandwidth are stretching the boundaries of traditional computing. Companies establish portals, which provide web accessibility to their internal servers. Network computers (or thin clients)—which are essentially terminals that understand web-based computing—are used in place of traditional workstations where more security or easier maintenance is desired. Mobile computers can synchronize with PCs to allow very portable use of company information. Mobile devices can also connect to wireless networks and cellular data networks to use the company's web portal (as well as the myriad other web resources).

      This passage explains how modern web technologies and faster WAN connections have expanded traditional computing. Companies now use web portals for internal access, thin clients for secure and easy-to-maintain workstations, and mobile devices that sync with PCs or connect via wireless/cellular networks, enabling flexible and portable access to company resources.

    3. As computing has matured, the lines separating many of the traditional computing environments have blurred. Consider the “typical office environment.” Just a few years ago, this environment consisted of PCs connected to a network, with servers providing file and print services. Remote access was awkward, and portability was achieved by use of laptop computers.

      This passage describes how the traditional computing environments, like the typical office setup, have evolved. Previously, offices had PCs connected to servers for file and print services, with limited remote access and portability mostly relying on laptops. It highlights how computing has become more flexible and interconnected over time.

    4. The power of bitmaps becomes apparent when we consider their space efficiency. If we were to use an eight-bit Boolean value instead of a single bit, the resulting data structure would be eight times larger. Thus, bitmaps are commonly used when there is a need to represent the availability of a large number of resources. Disk drives provide a nice illustration. A medium-sized disk drive might be divided into several thousand individual units, called disk blocks. A bitmap can be used to indicate the availability of each disk block.

      This passage highlights the space efficiency of bitmaps. Using the single bit per item instead of larger data types drastically reduces memory usage, making bitmaps ideal for tracking large numbers of resources. For example, disk drives use bitmaps to indicate which disk blocks are available or in use.

    5. A bitmap is a string of n binary digits that can be used to represent the status of n items. For example, suppose we have several resources, and the availability of each resource is indicated by the value of a binary digit: 0 means that the resource is available, while 1 indicates that it is unavailable (or vice versa). The value of the ith position in the bitmap is associated with the ith resource.

      This passage explains that a bitmap is the sequence of binary digits used to represent the status of multiple items. Each position in the bitmap corresponds to a specific resource, with values like 0 or 1 indicating whether the resource is available or is unavailable.

    6. One use of a hash function is to implement a hash map, which associates (or maps) [key:value] pairs using a hash function. Once the mapping is established, we can apply the hash function to the key to obtain the value from the hash map (Figure 1.21). For example, suppose that a user name is mapped to a password. Password authentication then proceeds as follows: a user enters her user name and password. The hash function is applied to the user name, which is then used to retrieve the password. The retrieved password is then compared with the password entered by the user for authentication.

      This text describes how hash functions can be utilized to create hash maps that hold data in key–value pairs. Using a hash function on a key allows the system to swiftly access its corresponding value. In password authentication, the username is hashed to retrieve the stored password, which is then matched against the user’s input to confirm identity

    7. One potential difficulty with hash functions is that two unique inputs can result in the same output value—that is, they can link to the same table location. We can accommodate this hash collision by having a linked list at the table location that contains all of the items with the same hash value. Of course, the more collisions there are, the less efficient the hash function is.

      This passage highlights the limitation for the hash functions: different inputs can produce the same output, causing a hash collision. To handle this, a linked list can store all the items that share the same hash index. However, the frequent collisions reduce the efficiency of the hash function, making the retrieval slower.

    8. A hash function takes data as its input, performs a numeric operation on the data, and returns a numeric value. This numeric value can then be used as an index into a table (typically an array) to quickly retrieve the data. Whereas searching for a data item through a list of size n can require up to O(n) comparisons, using a hash function for retrieving data from a table can be as good as O(1), depending on implementation details. Because of this performance, hash functions are used extensively in operating systems.

      This passage explains how that a hash function converts the data into the numeric value, which can be used as an index to quickly access the data in the table. Unlike searching a list, which can take O(n) time, a hash table can often retrieve data in O(1) time. This efficiency is why operating systems frequently use hash functions for tasks like indexing and also the quick lookups.

    9. A tree is a data structure that can be used to represent data hierarchically. Data values in a tree structure are linked through parent–child relationships. In a general tree, a parent may have an unlimited number of children. In a binary tree, a parent may have at most two children, which we term the left child and the right child. A binary search tree additionally requires an ordering between the parent's two children in which left_child <= right_child. Figure 1.20 provides an example of a binary search tree. When we search for an item in a binary search tree, the worst-case performance is O(n) (consider how this can occur). To remedy this situation, we can use an algorithm to create a balanced binary search tree. Here, a tree containing n items has at most lg n levels, thus ensuring worst-case performance of O(lg n). We shall see in Section 5.7.1 that Linux uses a balanced binary search tree (known as a red-black tree) as part its CPU-scheduling algorithm.

      This passage explains how a tree is a hierarchical data structure with the parent–child relationships. Binary trees limit the parents to two children, and the binary search trees (BSTs) impose that an order for efficient searching. In the worst case, a BST can have O(n) search time, but while balancing the tree reduces this to O(log n). Linux uses the balanced trees, such as the red-black trees, in the CPU scheduling to improve the performance.

    10. A queue, in contrast, is a sequentially ordered data structure that uses the first in, first out (FIFO) principle: items are removed from a queue in the order in which they were inserted. There are many everyday examples of queues, including shoppers waiting in a checkout line at a store and cars waiting in line at a traffic signal. Queues are also quite common in operating systems—jobs that are sent to a printer are typically printed in the order in which they were submitted, for example. As we shall see in Chapter 5, tasks that are waiting to be run on an available CPU are often organized in queues.

      What is a queue, and how does the first-in, first-out (FIFO) principle works? Give some examples of how queues are used both in everyday life and in operating systems.

    11. A stack is a sequentially ordered data structure that uses the last in, first out (LIFO) principle for adding and removing items, meaning that the last item placed onto a stack is the first item removed. The operations for inserting and removing items from a stack are known as push and pop, respectively. An operating system often uses a stack when invoking function calls. Parameters, local variables, and the return address are pushed onto the stack when a function is called; returning from the function call pops those items off the stack.

      What is a stack, and how does the last-in, first-out (LIFO) principle determine the push and pop operations? Additionally, how does an operating system use a stack during function calls?

    12. Linked lists accommodate items of varying sizes and allow easy insertion and deletion of items. One potential disadvantage of using a list is that performance for retrieving a specified item in a list of size n is linear—O(n), as it requires potentially traversing all n elements in the worst case. Lists are sometimes used directly by kernel algorithms. Frequently, though, they are used for constructing more powerful data structures, such as stacks and queues.

      This passage highlights how that the linked lists are flexible, supporting the variable-sized items and easy insertion or the deletion. However, searching for a specific element can be slow (O(n)). Lists are often used directly in kernel algorithms or as building blocks for other structures like stacks and queues.

    13. After arrays, lists are perhaps the most fundamental data structures in computer science. Whereas each item in an array can be accessed directly, the items in a list must be accessed in a particular order. That is, a list represents a collection of data values as a sequence. The most common method for implementing this structure is a linked list, in which items are linked to one another

      This section explains that the lists are a fundamental data structure where these elements are accessed sequentially rather than directly. Linked lists are a common implementation, connecting each item to the next, which allows flexible insertion and removal of elements compared to arrays.

    14. An array is a simple data structure in which each element can be accessed directly. For example, main memory is constructed as an array. If the data item being stored is larger than one byte, then multiple bytes can be allocated to the item, and the item is addressed as “item number × item size.” But what about storing an item whose size may vary? And what about removing an item if the relative positions of the remaining items must be preserved? In such situations, arrays give way to other data structures.

      This passage describes arrays as the basic data structure which allows the direct access to elements, making them simple and efficient for fixed-size items. However, arrays have limitations when storing variable-sized data or when items need to be removed while maintaining order, which is why more flexible data structures (like linked lists) are used in such cases.

    15. Some operating systems have taken the concept of networks and distributed systems further than the notion of providing network connectivity. A network operating system is an operating system that provides features such as file sharing across the network, along with a communication scheme that allows different processes on different computers to exchange messages. A computer running a network operating system acts autonomously from all other computers on the network

      This section explains that a network operating system goes beyond basic connectivity by enabling features like file sharing and inter-process communication across machines. Each computer still runs independently, but the OS provides tools to make collaboration and resource sharing possible across the network.

    16. The media to carry networks are equally varied. They include copper wires, fiber strands, and wireless transmissions between satellites, microwave dishes, and radios. When computing devices are connected to cellular phones, they create a network. Even very short-range infrared communication can be used for networking. At a rudimentary level, whenever computers communicate, they use or create a network. These networks also vary in their performance and reliability.

      This passage highlights the many types of transmission media used in networking, from traditional copper wires to advanced fiber optics and wireless methods like satellite or cellular. It shows that networks can exist at any scale—even short-range infrared—and that their performance and reliability depend on the medium used.

    17. Networks are characterized based on the distances between their nodes. A local-area network (LAN) connects computers within a room, a building, or a campus. A wide-area network (WAN) usually links buildings, cities, or countries. A global company may have a WAN to connect its offices worldwide, for example. These networks may run one protocol or several protocols

      This section explains that networks are classified by distance. LANs cover small areas like buildings or campuses, while WANs span larger regions such as cities or even countries. Companies often use WANs to connect global offices, and these networks may rely on one or multiple communication protocols.

    18. A network, in the simplest terms, is a communication path between two or more systems. Distributed systems depend on networking for their functionality. Networks vary by the protocols used, the distances between nodes, and the transport media. TCP/IP is the most common network protocol, and it provides the fundamental architecture of the Internet. Most operating systems support TCP/IP, including all general-purpose ones

      This passage emphasizes that networks are the backbone of distributed systems, enabling communication between computers. It highlights that networks differ in protocol, distance, and media, but TCP/IP has become the universal standard—forming the foundation of the Internet and being supported by nearly all major operating systems.

    19. A distributed system is a collection of physically separate, possibly heterogeneous computer systems that are networked to provide users with access to the various resources that the system maintains. Access to a shared resource increases computation speed, functionality, data availability, and reliability. Some operating systems generalize network access as a form of file access, with the details of networking contained in the network interface's device driver. Others make users specifically invoke network functions.

      This section defines distributed systems as independent computers working together through a network. The benefit is that these resources can be shared,by improving speed, functionality, andthe reliability. It also notes that the operating systems handle the networking differently—some make it seamless by treating network access like file access, while others require users to call specific network functions.

    20. Within data centers, virtualization has become a common method of executing and managing computing environments. VMMs like VMware ESXand Citrix XenServer no longer run on host operating systems but rather are the host operating systems, providing services and resource management to virtual machine processes.

      This passage explains that in data centers, virtualization is not just an add-on but the foundation of the system. Modern Virtual Machine Monitors (like VMware ESX or Citrix XenServer) act like an actual operating system, directly managing hardware resources and running virtual machines. This shows how central virtualization has become in enterprise environments.

    21. Virtualization allows operating systems to run as applications within other operating systems. At first blush, there seems to be little reason for such functionality. But the virtualization industry is vast and growing, which is a testament to its utility and importance.

      This section points out that virtualization might seem unnecessary at first because operating systems already manage multiple applications. However, its growth shows how valuable it really is—virtualization enables flexibility, testing, security isolation, and efficient use of hardware, which explains why the industry keeps expanding.

    22. Even though modern operating systems are fully capable of running multiple applications reliably, the use of virtualization continues to grow. On laptops and desktops, a VMM allows the user to install multiple operating systems for exploration or to run applications written for operating systems other than the native host

      This passage explains about why the virtualization is still widely being used even though the modern operating systems can be used for multitasking. A Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) lets the usersto run the different operating systems on the same hardware, which is considered useful for experimenting, testing the software, or running the programs that aren’t compatible with the host system.

    1. Skills mattered less and less in an industrialized, mass-producing economy, and their strength as individuals seemed ever smaller and less significant when companies grew in size and power and managers gained wealth and political influence. Long hours, dangerous working conditions, and the difficulty of supporting a family on meager and unpredictable wages compelled workers to organize armies of labor and battle against the power of capital.

      I find it interesting that this is another instance that suggests that history repeats itself. Every time we go through a wave of technological advancements we render workers who have mastered the old method obsolete.

    2. “The Depression”. The Panic began with the failure of the largest bank in America, owned by railroad speculator Jay Cooke. The United States government’s decision to stop  coining silver dollars in 1873 and return to the gold standard in 1875 exacerbated the financial distress, and lower wages and deflation led to labor disputes like the Great Railroad Strike of 1877.

      Who thought it was a good idea to change the standard on which the whole system was based, when it was already in utter termoil? Probaably not their best idea.

    1. To say a notion is imprinted on the mind, and yet at the same time to say that themind is ignorant of it, and never yet took notice of it, is to make this impressionnothing. No proposition can be said to be in the mind which it never yet knew, whichit was never yet conscious of

      Yes and No! neuroscience

    2. There is nothing more commonly taken for granted, than that there are certainprinciples both speculative and practical (for they speak of both) universally agreedupon by all mankind: which, therefore they argue, must needs be the constantimpressions which the souls of men receive in their first beings, and which theybring into the world with them, as necessarily and really as they do any of theirinherent faculties

      this is false in the sense that there are people for what we call as having disorders and differences but these people are people nonetheless

      "what is a human" that's a long story in itself. But one without said disorders could also work against said instinct

    3. the soul receives in its very first being; and brings into theworld with it.

      these are called instincts

      our flesh is the thing that liberates us into existence but it's the thing that limits the way we perceive the world. Principles derived from evolution and in evolution there is survival and things that happen per chance

    4. . But if itwere inconsistent with his goodness to have created me such that I am deceived all thetime, it would seem equally foreign to his goodness to allow me to be deceived evenoccasionally; yet this last assertion cannot be made.

      what is good? Perhaps it is "good" for one to be deceived

    5. arithmetic, geometry

      it is almost incoceivable of a reality where a single thing and another single thing together does not equal two single things. Although one could argue that the usage of a base 10 numerical system is fabricated but in a sense we cannot say it is or is not real.

    1. This study has found that T. hirsuta may be displaced by M. galloprovincialis in a future ocean, causing a shift in the biogenic habitat of the Australian shores. Such a shift in habitat may affect the infauna; future conditions may cause infauna to prefer specific mussel habitats (either T. hirsuta or M. galloprovincialis) and lead to an overall decline in infaunal molluscs.

      What would happen if the restoration projects were focused on planting native mussels and the invasive species still continue to take over, should the project focus shift to the invasive species, or stay on the native species? Would it be more ethical to let the new invasive species take over and form new habitats because they might survive climate change better than the native species?

    2. Polychaetes generally had a positive response to climate change scenarios. Warming and elevated pCO2 interacted to increase the number of species of polychaetes in the elevated pCO2 treatment at ambient temperature (Fig. 4; ANOVA Temp × CO2, F1,32 = 11.03, P < 0.02, Supplementary Table 4). Under warming, there were fewer polychaete species recruiting to T. hirsuta compared with that observed at ambient temperature, but there was no effect of warming on the number of polychaete species that recruited to M. galloprovincialis (Supplementary Table 4). When T. hirsuta and M. galloprovincialis were present in the same mesocosms, there were significantly more polychaetes under ambient temperature than under warming (Fig. 4; ANOVA Temp × Presence, F1,32 = 4.66, P < 0.05; Species × Presence, F1,32 = 4.66, P < 0.05, Supplementary Table 4). There were no significant effects of any treatments on the number of species, the number of individuals of Crustacea and the number of species of Mollusca (Fig. 4; Supplementary Table 4). Molluscs were negatively affected by elevated pCO2 but unaffected by warming (Fig. 4).

      These results indicate that the worms would benefit from climate change, but the mollusks would be harmed. Mollusks play a vital role in many ecosystems through filtering water, recycling nutrients, and building the strong shells that many other organisms inhabit. If this organism were to decline would the loss create more long-term issues, other than the worm population being increased. What would this due to the food web? Would this change how many reefs or shorelines are built?

    3. This study has shown that the invasive M. galloprovincialis was more tolerant of elevated pCO2 compared with the native T. hirsuta. We have also shown that the two mussel species possess unique infaunal communities, which are also altered by climate change conditions.

      The authors make an interesting point here that the invasive species of mussels are more tolerant than the native species to climate change. With that being said, from a scientific standpoint, should scientists be worried about the invasive species replacing the native ones, and if they are concerned about this what should conservationists or scientists do to stop this?

    4. Species do not exist in isolation but rather in communities where they interact. These interactions can be broadly grouped into interactions that reduce the overall abundance of species i.e. “negative interactions” (e.g. competition and predation) or interactions that increase their abundance i.e. “positive interactions” (Bertness et al., 1999).

      Here the authors are suggesting the idea that species do not live alone, instead they are part of much bigger communities. How might potential climate change affect these interactions? Would they make some of these interactions stronger or weaker than others? Would this benefit one species and impair another? And what does this mean for those invasive species compared to native species?

    1. Modern specialization is so extensive that only a minorityof people in a modern economy directly provide goodsand services for immediate consumption, such as food ormedical care. Instead, many of us work in industries thatsupply intermediate inputs, meaning materials, machines,information, or logistical support for businesses that offergoods and services for direct consumption. And evenamong those who work in businesses that provide imme-diate consumer satisfaction, many of us perform admin-istrative tasks to manage or support those workers whoactually serve customers

      This passage emphasizes how modern specialization has shifted most work away from directly producing consumer goods and services.

    2. Increased wealth accompanies specialization. Our ances-tors were much less specialized than we are. As recentlyas the 18th century, many households still sewed theirown clothes, built their own homes, and grew much oftheir own food. As of 1700, nearly everyone in the worldlived in economic misery by today’s standards. Even in theUnited Kingdom, the most advanced economy at the time,the average income per person was only about $2,500 intoday’s dollars.4 Today, in the United States, a householdwould need twice that average income to even reach th

      This passage highlights the importance on how specialization has played a role in increasing the wealth over time. The example that was shown in the article shows the contrast between the 1700's and today living standards in the US and how much the economy has grown from high expectations. My question is: if specialization has increased in the modern day economy on wealth and living standards, could there be anymore downsides from goods and services?

      W przypadku mieszkań kluczową rolę przy planowaniu instalacji elektrycznej odgrywa materiał, z którego wykonany jest budynek. Jeżeli mamy do czynienia z blokiem z tzw. wielkiej płyty, podejście do rozprowadzenia przewodów musi być inne niż w nowym budownictwie. Najczęściej najlepszym rozwiązaniem okazuje się poprowadzenie instalacji po ścianach działowych, w podłodze lub w suficie podwieszanym – to nie tylko praktyczne, ale też korzystne cenowo dla inwestora.

      Warto jednak pamiętać, że dobrze zaprojektowana instalacja to nie tylko oszczędność na etapie wykonania, ale też wygoda i bezpieczeństwo na lata. Dlatego już na samym początku warto przemyśleć liczbę gniazd, punktów świetlnych oraz ewentualne miejsce na dodatkowe przewody (np. do internetu, automatyki czy klimatyzacji), aby uniknąć kosztownych przeróbek w przyszłości.

    1. Meyer got basic facts wrong. He concluded that EUSD removed the appearance of religion by renaming poses, giving the example that “the so-called lotus position was renamed criss-cross applesauce.” The term “criss-cross applesauce” does not appear even once in the spring 2013 yoga curriculum; the term “lotus” appears 194 times. The 2013 EUSD promotional video records a teacher instructing: “go into lotus.” Meyer believed testimony that jnanamudra was replaced by “brain highways,” a claim contradicted by defendant declarations and the video. Indeed, Meyer ignored multiple instances where defense witnesses contradicted themselves, each other, and documents they signed.

      my opinion would be that the ruling would have been contradictory to the first amendment

    2. Yes. Some refused to participate in activities that felt like prayer to them. Many kids in EUSD classes still chant Om, assume jnanamudra, close their eyes to meditate while sitting in lotus, and use Sanskrit, such as Namaste (“I bow to the god within you”) and shavasana for “resting” pose.

      very religious in practice

    3. EUSD teachers displayed posters of an eight-limbed Ashtanga tree and asana sequences taught by the “K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute”; used a textbook, Myths of the Asanas, that explains how poses represent gods and inspire virtue; taught terminology in Sanskrit (a language sacred for Hindus); taught moral character using yamas and niyamas from the Yoga Sutras; used guided meditation and visualization scripts and taught kids to color mandalas (used in visual meditation on deities).

      This would definitely violate the first amendment as the program specifically teaches about how each yoga pose represent the gods.

    4. Meyer determined that “yoga,” including “Ashtanga” yoga, “is religious.” Nevertheless, he allowed EUSD’s yoga program to continue, since he did not think children would perceive the program as advancing or inhibiting religion. The judge found the Jois Foundation partnership “troublesome,” but did not rule that it excessively entangled government with religion.

      This is a ruling that I can see the reason for but because the original intent of yoga was to create a oneness with God, I feel like allowing it to be established by a school system is suspicious.

    5. The Jois Foundation was founded “in loving dedication” to K. P. Jois, with funding from billionaire Paul Tudor Jones whose wife Sonia is an Ashtanga devotee, to spread Ashtanga, especially to kids.

      Foundation's goal was specifically to spread the religion's initial intentions

    6. Ashtanga emphasizes postures and breathing on the premise that these practices will “automatically” lead practitioners to experience the other limbs and “become one with God,” in the words of Jois, “whether they want it or not.”

      The original goal of yoga is supposed to have practioners experience a oneness with God.

    7. he Encinitas Union School District (EUSD) accepted a $533,720 grant from the Jois Foundation to establish (to quote the signed grant) an “Ashtanga Yoga” program staffed by Jois “trained” and “certified” instructors who “partner”ed in developing a “comprehensive” yoga curriculum for Jois to export to “other school systems.”

      The school district in this case willinging took money to establish a yoga program

    1. The security of attachment is an important cornerstone of social and personality development, because infants and young children who are securely attached have been found to develop stronger friendships with peers, more advanced emotional understanding and early conscience development, and more positive self-concepts, compared with insecurely attached children

      This shows how the secure attachment affect the self-esteem that the child develops later on and how safe he feels around people along with exploring the world and building new relationships.

    2. Psychologists believe that the development of these attachments is as biologically natural as learning to walk and not simply a byproduct of the parents’ provision of food or warmth. Rather, attachments have evolved in humans because they promote children’s motivation to stay close to those who care for them and, as a consequence, to benefit from the learning, security, guidance, warmth, and affirmation that close relationships provide

      The secure attachment is vital during the first years of development because it creates a safe space for learning and allows the baby to develop healthy in his own pace.

    1. “The heart of the matter, what the learner learns, whatever the teacher teaches, is that human beings make sense of the world by telling stories about it—by using the narrative mode for constructing reality” (

      I thought this was a great quote that everyone should see.

    2. Baker and Greene (1977) describe storytelling not as a memorized performance but instead an interaction that exists between the teller and the listeners. They claim that storytelling at its best is a mutual creation.

      I agree fully with this claim, it matches my view as well. Storytelling is a connection and communication between the teller and the audience.

    3. Recent years have seen a shift to narrative studies in education and social science. This research relies less on how a narrative text is formed and more on how narrative texts are used (Cordi, 2019, p. 36).

      I wonder why this is? Why do we see this shift that is mentioned here?

    4. Stories don’t just convey information; they “demonstrate relationships between tellers, hearers, characters, and others” (Shuman, 1986, p. 21). The audience members are active witnesses, participating in constructing the narrative and playing in its gaps (Richter, 1996).

      This text highlights that storytelling is more than passing along facts—it’s relational and participatory. The teller and audience shape meaning together, with listeners actively engaging and filling in gaps. It shows stories as dynamic, co-created experiences rather than static transmissions of information.
