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%).

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub
From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world.
With over one billion views in a year, it’s no wonder that so many speakers are looking to TED for ideas on how to share their message more effectively.

1. MODEL I
Subiectul I
Cite te următorul fragment:ș
Rep: Este homeschoolingul legal în România?
Mircea Miclea: Homeschoolingul este legal doar dacă de el beneficiază copii cu cerin e educa ionaleț ț
speciale sau nedeplasabili din motive medicale, conform art. 25, aliniat 2, din legea Educa iei Na ionale.ț ț
Aceasta înseamnă că, dacă vrei ca institu iile statului român să recunoască această formă de învă are, trebuie săț ț
faci dovada că copilul tău se încadrează într-una dintre cele două categorii. Dacă nu se încadrează, el nu poate
ob ine diplomele i beneficiile aferente conferite de statul nostru. Dincolo de aspectele legale, pe bazaț ș
cercetărilor de specialitate, a sfătui părin ii să nu recurgă la această solu ie. coala oferă nu numai con inuturiș ț ț Ș ț
cognitive, ci i competen e socio-emo ionale, esen iale pentru succesul în via ă i care se pot forma doar înș ț ț ț ț ș
colectivitatea colară. E greu să dobânde ti abilită i de comunicare, sau de leadership, sau de rezolvare aș ș ț
conflictelor, sau de lucru în echipă-competen e extrem de apreciate de angajatori, studiind doar acasă. De altfel,ț
homeschoolingul este o excep ie în toate sistemele educa ionale din lume; se justifică numai pentru cazurileț ț
men ionate sau pentru situa iile în care copiii locuiesc în zone foarte îndepărtate de o coală ( cazul unor zoneț ț ș
din Australia, de pildă). Nu am pus i această situa ie în legea noastră, pentru că România nu ae astfel deș ț
caracteristici geografice.
Rep: Crede i că discu ia despre homeschooling poate cuprinde astăzi un număr mai mare de persoaneț ț
interesate, decât în trecut? Care sunt cauzele?
Mircea Miclea: M-a opri la trei cauze. Prima se leagă de insatisfac ia tot mai mare pe care o au părin iiș ț ț
fa ă de calitatea învă ământului. Această insatisfac ie este legitimă, dar calea de urmat este de a pune presiuniț ț ț
pe politicieni i al i deciden i să optimizeze sistemul, nu de a- i retrage copilul i de a face homeschooling. Aș ț ț ț ș
doua cauză se rferă la tehnologiile digitale care au democratizat enorm accesul la informa ie. Acela i con inutț ț ț
pe care în urmă cu 20 d ani îl găseai numai la coală, acum îl găse ti pe zeci de site-uri de pe internet. coalaș ș Ș
( de la învă ământul primar la universitate) a pierdut monopolul transmiterii de informa ii tiin ifice iț ț ș ț ș
profesionale. coala mai are doar monopolul diplomelor, dar nu mai are monopolul cunoa terii. Ar fi multe deȘ ș
discutat aici, dar nu e cazut să o facem acum. În fine, tot mai mul i oameni au mijloacele financiare care leț
permit să ofere copiilor lor homeschooling. Din conjunc ia acestor cauze pot spune că numărul celor ce vorț
cocheta cu astfel de situa ii va cre te în următorii ani. Subliniez încă o dată: nu aceasta e solu ia cea mai bunăț ș ț
pentru copii lor!
( Mircea Miclea, interviu pe tema ” coala acasă”, înș HotNews.ro, 20 septembrie 2016)
A. Scrie pe foaia de examen răspunsul la fiecare dintre următoarele cerin e cu privire la text:ț

2. Precizează două condi ii în care homeschoolingul e legal în România, a a cum reiese din text.ț ș
3. Prezintă motivul principal pentru care, în viziunea lui Mircea MIclea, homeschoolingul nu ar trebui să
înlocuiască coala tradi ională.ș ț
2. 4. Indică o cauză desprinsă din ultimul paragraf, care îi determină pe unii părin i să aleagă homeschoolingul.ț

Tănase istorisi, în fine, ce i se întâmplase pe drum, cum lăsase pe vizitiu în noroi, ce nenorocire mai sunt iș
slugile astea pe capul stăpânilor. Nimeni nu zise nimic, fiind to i deprin i cu firea lui sucită. Zgârcit i fanfaronț ș ș
în acela i timp, îi plăcea să vadă casa bine inută, ca să se tie că era bogat, iar pe de altă parte îl durea inima deș ț ș
banii risipi i.ț
Fusese deja deputat în două legislaturi, cu guvernul căzut, i acum era ales pentru a treia oară, cu noulș
guvern. De-a pururea în majoritate, vorbea de mini trii de parcă ar fi fost cel mai de aproape prieten al lor;ș
tutuia pe toată lumea în convorbirirea lui imaginară cu oamenii de la putere; istorisea cum a îndemnat pe ”
fleacu” ăla de general să mute regimentul I-il de la Slobozia, i fleacul l-a satisfăcut; întrebuin a cuvinte pe careș ț
nu le putea rosti; încurca ” bugetul ării” cu ” politica vamală” i ” milioanele de la fortifica ii” i ” socialismț ș ț ș
de stat”, într-o frazeologie imposibilă, din care nu se putea în elege decât un singur lucru: că în ara romîneascăț ț
nu mai era de trăit de când mizerabilii de tărani se ridicau cu preten ii împotriva ”boierilor”.ț
În cercul lui de provincie era un tiran în politică, cum era tiran în casă, în ale vie ii zilnice. Când vorbea luiț
Nae Eftimiu, ori vreunui alt îngrijitor de la mo ie, sau vreunui biet datornic, ori postulant, nu se uita niciodatăș
în fa a omului, ci tot piezis, sau se plimba prin casă cu mâinile în buzunar, repetând vorba ” mă în elegi” de miiț ț
de ori i nespunând nimic.ș
