Happy Fourth!! I really respect the author Jack Carr. His books are really cool. And he fought for his country. Today we Americans celebrate with parades, fireworks, laughs, love and family. I really like what Jack has to say below.
I personally believe it’s important to reflect upon the idea of America. Any institution made by humans is bound to be imperfect. But it is our responsibility to strive to improve, to form a “more perfect union”. What can we do? How can we heal this growing divide? I feel like recognizing the fact that nobody is perfect is a start. It allows us to judge less, to realize despite our differences we have common ground And what is our common ground? In the words of Abraham Lincoln “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Sounds good to me!
Quick edit: Yes, Jefferson wrote the words and later Lincoln spoke them. Interesting point to see how that idea evolved to mean so much more by then. What can it mean today? We continue to evolve. We strive to be more perfect. ❤️ Repost Jack Carr

[吃惊][并不简单][思考]可怕的现实影响力
2010年,美国作家尼古拉斯·卡尔(Nicholas.carr
在后来被提名普利策奖的畅销书《浅薄:互联网如何毒化了我们的大脑》中介绍了美国医学院对互联网影响人类大脑发育和结构的一些成果。
研究表明,长期使用互联网后,负责浅层思考的脑沟变深了,意味着相应能力的增强;而负责深度思考的脑沟变浅了,意味着深度思考能力的丧失。这些研究是在2007年左右完成的,当时社交网络的使用频率远没有今天高。不过相应的研究一直在进行中。
到了2016年,特别针对社交网络对人脑的影响又有了一些新的研究结果,结论基本上和之前的研究相一致。研究表明,经常使用社交网络的人,关注其他人的能力增加了,而阅读能力减弱了。
虽然教授们并不愿意用变好或变坏来总结这种变化,但是社交网络影响我们大脑的发育,进而影响我们的行为和做事方法是不争的事实,今天我们很容易受到社交网络上内容和情绪的影响,就是其中的一种表现。

国际周我是又练听力又做阅读理解[二哈]
二流英语水平的我I'm fine.[微笑]
Professor Carr is humorous and his class is funny. I like it.What's more, I can understand what he said.
But Dr. Ying Lin's class is difficult for me to understand, maybe there's many professional terms so that it hard for me.In addition, the tone of his speech was boring, so I can't pay my attention on it. However, this class is useful and I'll try my best to learn it well.
