The document provides details about the author's experience visiting their family's village in Nigeria as a child. Some key aspects include:
- The village of Iviukhua in Edo state had a much slower pace of life compared to the busy city of Lagos where the author grew up.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Essay on The Village
Isolation Social isolation refers to a lack of contact with members of one's kind. In humans, it may be caused by a persistent withdrawal or avoidance of
social contact or communication. It can contribute toward many emotional, behavioral and physical disorders including anxiety, eating disorders, panic
attacks, addictions, substance abuse, and violence. In the film, The Village, written by M. Night Shyamalen, the villagers demonstrate the ritual view
of communication throughout the entire movie. The Ritual View of Communication is composed up of a sense of belonging; a sense of understanding
in the community, a version of reality, and language for what we want to be true and believe is real. The village was created, maintained,...show more

To do this plan they made huge scary costumes and would occasionally dress up in them and scare people. The town was all brainwashed that the
forest was not safe and that no one without permission from the elders should go in there. Feared for their lives no one really went into the forest
thinking that they could be attacked by these made up mystical creatures. To transform is to change in form, appearance, or structure. Transform is
used in the village in many ways. They transformed the village into a village made up of all these rituals and lies. The elders brainwashed the
entire community to thinking that yellow was a safe color and red was an unsafe and bad color. For instance, the guard who was watching out for
the monsters would wear a yellow cloak making him safer from being attacked. Another example of transform is when the elders change from their
self into a horrifying creature. Repaired: to fix or mend. This village needs a lot of emotional help. Everyone has been lied to and told things that
are completely barbaric. The villagers wouldn't know how to survive in the real world. The real world is nothing like the village that they are used to
growing up in. Sometimes people need to face reality instead of just hiding away. Life is hard but people get through the tough times and move on
with their lives. Produce: to create by physical or mental effort, to manufacture. As you know by now the elders

2. My Neighborhood Essay
Where I live is one of the greatest neighborhoods in the city to live in; however it does have its draw backs. Importantly it has nearly everything a
resident might want, beautiful picturesque scenery, proximity to shopping, and many of the cultural centers. Nevertheless the roads can be some of the
most congested in town, and the streets are not safe to walk late at night. Fortunately, I wake every morning to the most beautiful sun lit house. I sit on
my porch sipping coffee, while I drink in an atmosphere that steals my breath away. Rolling hills lay before me that undulate until they crash into
golden purple mountains. Oh how they are covered in spectacular fauna, ever blooming foliage, and trees that are heavy with pungent fruit....show more

The Mexican tile roofs jump out at your eyes, until the gorgeous iron gates of other estates snatch your attention. I can at times be overwhelmed with
the feast before my eyes. My favorite structure by far is the towering ruins of the old sugar plantation. The words ruins, sugar, and plantation alone are
enough to conjure up the most fascinating stories within ones imagination. I can see the bones of an age past; still standing before me to mourn,
and dream about. I live in a grouping of villas where a restaurant and pool facilities are being constructed. I smell fresh sawn mahogany as the
carpenters make bars, counters, and doors. I hear stone masons chipping at tiles, and the scraping sounds as they pull out the mortar to lay them.
Sometimes in the morning I pull on running sneakers and jog down to Kmart to grab some household items. Then I might bop over to AT&T to pay
my cell phone escaping the crowds and long lines that form later in the day. The bank tellers are also so much nicer in the morning before rude
customers have agitated and frustrated them. On Sundays my family and I take in concerts and shows for free. We sit on the lawn that adorns thehill
behind our house which overlooks the Center for Performing Arts. Whether it's paying bills, shopping for pleasure, or enjoying a cultural affair the
convenience of it all is another reason I love my neighborhood. Never the less our royal neighborhood does have some less desirable elements. Most

Global Village
New technological advances are something that we have faced for centuries. Whether the advance was the printing press, the radio, the telephone, or
the TV, all of these things affected us globally. In the past all of these new advances tend to change social and political policies. We are currently in a
new era of technology, one that we have many names for: the internet, the web, cyberspace, information superhighway, and many more. All of these
computer technologies affect the way many of us live, especially the use of the internet. There are some articles with strong arguments on why this
new technology could cause more harm than good to some of us. One article was by a feminist scholar, Dale Spender, who wrote Social...show more

This is clearly not bringing people closer together. In the real world, different groups are inevitably going to hate or dislike other various groups.
For example, when teenagers are in high school, the jocks generally dont like the nerds, and the nerds generally dont like the jocks. Real life groups
on the web are most likely going to follow this pattern as well. This is just an inescapable issue of having people create divisions amongst themselves.
The social consequences of having the internet accessible to everyone include hostile divisions between classes. Spender says, Even in First World
countries, there is much talk these days about a growing underclass, a social group which is cut off from the benefits of society. The homeless, the
hungry, the unemployed, uninsured, unregisteredand uninformed. She goes on and compares this to the industrial revolution, and how this is
creating an underclass again. Not necessarily even going that far, but it will add to the separation of classes. Spender also goes on to say, The real
people in the real world are being divided up into the information rich and poor: the master minds and those who are kept in the dark. In some ways
she is saying that this is unjust because a lot of people are not included in this new era of technology. Why shouldnt they be able to access it? In order
to get everybody online and have a virtual community that is accessible to anyone, then the prices of computers would have to go down

My "Perfect" City
I. Utilities
The city I propose as a perfect city, would be as close to an ecocity as possible, although have some differences. For example, for electrical needs, I
would suggest the city have a solar power plant, but on those desperate times, energy would be bought from other electrical plants from nearby towns
or states.
Water purification and a wastewater treatment plants would be necessary in order to provide the citizens and visitors with clean healthy water. To
prevent flooding, this city was built on flood plains.
Solid waste pickup services will exist, preventing litter and garbage...show more content...
Paddleboats would be popular in the lakes and river. Walking and biking would be the most influenced form of transportation. Neighborhood stores
would be encouraged, promoting bike and walk transportation. No mass transportation systems will be found running through the city.
III. Density of Homes
Understandably, some people enjoy large lawns. For every 1 home that is built on an acre property, 2 homes have to be built on ВЅ acre property. The
homes will be built more northern and away from the river. Towards the southern part of the river will only be green space and nature preserves. The
city will have a medium density
IV. Businesses/Industry/Commercial
Tourism will be the major money catcher on the lake and riverside areas. Tourists will be attracted to the city's beauty and fun activities (see
aesthetics). Although tourism brings in a lot of money, small animal and vegetable farms will be maintained, providing the city with some of its food
portion. Gardens will also be kept at most of the homes. Not much food will be transported into the city. The city will try to be the most independent
possible. Building will use the solar heat method for water and space heating on those rare occasions when necessary.
6. My Village Life
Growing up in the city of Lagos Nigeria where everything is immensely distinct in comparison with parts of the country with a fast pace flow of
things, with people from every ethnic group and religion you could never feel isolated in Lagos it almost reminds me of New York City vibe filled
with clustered building and congested with an abundance of people. One evening we received news that we would be heading to the village to visit
family and at last go, to the farm we heard so much about my dad is from the village known as IVIUKHUA which is located in Edo state nicknamed
the heartbeat of Nigeria. See compared to the city life the village life was rough but my grandparents seem to love it and I remember visiting them
ever so often you know you know you were in the village once you start to notice the absence of electricity poles that alone gives you an idea of
what a day to day would be in the village. The village consisted of several walking distance towns and villagers tend to spend their everyday lives
tending to their crops in farms. I learned so much in such a short time at the farm
It was a lovely Sunday morning on August 7, 2005 it was a much–anticipated trip filled with excitement and joy it was about six of us (my mother,
father, siblings, our driver and I ) all dressed in protective gear drenched in bug spray to prevent mosquito bites, at the time malaria was very
common. We were riding in a white Isuzu 4wd drive 2000 model pickup truck which I remember vividly.
