  Digital Illiteracy While nobody needed a computer or a mobile phone to get around just two decades ago, we have progressed into the digital age, where technology borders every aspect of our lives. However, the world is at a point where we are on the verge of creating a divide between the literate and the illiterate – both in the literal and digital sense. The world is moving into the age of automation, especially in first-world countries. For instance, bank tellers have been progressively replaced by internet banking, while at popular food chains such as McDonald’s, we see fewer staff and more automated ordering kiosks. Amid the coronavirus outbreak, governments in some countries have been making use of mobile applications to control the volume of crowds in any location at a given time. It is definitely much more efficient to automate these processes because it generally makes queues go faster, is cheaper than hiring more staff, and creates fewer opportunities for incidents, comp...

   Digital Literacy Literacy is critical in helping us make sense of our world. From the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep, we are constantly making meaning of the world around us. Literacy has traditionally been thought of as reading and writing. Although these are essential components of literacy, today our understanding of literacy encompasses much more. Introduction to Literacy: Literacy is  the ability, confidence, and willingness to engage with language to acquire, construct and communicate meaning in all aspects of daily living . Language is explained as a socially and culturally constructed system of communication. From the moment child is born, his or her literacy journey begins. Children’s literacy abilities are nurtured through their families and communities. Examples are the infant smiling or crying to communicate their needs to a parent the toddler forming their first words a young child interpreting the symbols around them a preschooler singing a so...

 Are you a feminist? “Yes,” some readily answer. Others grimace and deny any involvement with that “bra-burning, man-hating” movement. To Cynthia de las Fuentes, PhD, past-president of APA's Div. 35 (Society for the Psychology of Women), such negative perceptions derive from media distortion-not the movement's mission of equality for the sexes at work and at home. What's more, many young women--and men--don't realize that equality has yet to be achieved, she says. She laments the division's relative absence of men, minorities and members younger than 30--the last of which is a trend across all APA divisions. "We've had trouble communicating feminism's continuing relevance to young people and people of color," says de las Fuentes, an associate professor at San Antonio-based Our Lady of the Lake University. "Most current Div. 35 members were active in women's rights in the '70s, and they still are." So de las Fuentes made it her pre...

 WHAT FEMINISM MEANS TODAY By SHRIRAM BANSAL MODERN FEMINISM- "Motherhood is bliss." "Your first priority is to care for your husband and children." "Homemaking can be exciting and fulfilling." Throughout the 1950s, educated middle-class women heard advice like this from the time they were born until they reached adulthood. The new suburban lifestyle prompted many women to leave college early and pursue the "cult of the housewife." Magazines such as Ladies Home Journal and Good Housekeeping and television shows such as "Father Knows Best" and "The Donna Reed Show" reinforced this idyllic image. But not every woman wanted to wear pearls and bring her husband his pipe and slippers when he came home from work. Some women wanted careers of their own. In 1963, BETTY FRIEDAN published a book called THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE that identified "the problem that has no name." Amid all the demands to prepare breakfast, to drive thei...

  HOW TO RECOVER BY DEPRESSION BY - SHRIRAM BANSAL Recovering from depression is not easy. one of the hardest things is that you just don't know what to expect. It's not like healing from an injury. if you broke your arm, your doctor could give you specific about your recovery. They could tell you -- at least roughly -- how many weeks you would need a cast and when you will be healed. Unfortunately, depression isn't like that. Each person's recovery is different. Some recover in a few weeks or months. But for other's depression is a long-term illness. In about 20% to 30% of people who have an episode of depression, the symptoms don't entirely go away.
