My last words for you #emergence

So today is Finally the day !

I will write my last post for you.

This semester has been rich in many ways. If the occassions is given to me, I will definitively re-do the experience one angain. Of course I would love to do it with the same people that I’ve met here. I know it won’t probably happens once again but I was thrilled and so thankful to be able to live this experience.

During this class, I met new people, I met people that I already knew, and a new teacher.

The Systeme’s Theory and social media class was a unique experience that I discover. I personally think that this class is a mixe of severals psychology. While studing and discovering the topic of each class, I found myself thinking that it was really similar to other subject that I’ve been studying back in France. Thanks to the class systeme theory and social media, I was able to rediscovers some new topics that I could have forget about or to make me learn even more some topic.

For example, the class on the complexivity was really interesting, quite confusing sometime but still very interesting. the concept of Double Pendulum was really interesting to see. i think that I see one of those video about it, but I am very not sure so it’s was good to redeiscovered it one again. I am a very curious person in general so it’s facinated me to see that almost everything can have an explanation, a reason to exist in this world, universe.

Moreover, the concpte of connectivity, of System, the notion, fact that everything is connected is very interesting and useful. I think it was one of the most importante concepte that we study this semester. I think that I will probably never forget about it. Always remember that when you are stuck, they is an other way to solve your probleme, because even if you don’t found a solution to a probleme, an other solution will existe, one that you didn’t think about and which was the all time connected to your probleme.

I think that I was one of the first person to go back to my contry, I was sad that I have to leave my new friends that I just met few month ago, the city, athens, Greece… the school that I would have loved to know better, discover new classes. I am a psychology student in my contry so I already had a “backgroud” in psychology and I was expected to discovers a new aspect of psychology in Greece, and even when somtime I was doubtful, I realize that even if the subject was kind of the same, the same goes for the topic, I understand that the point of view, the perceptive is chanching. as said previously, I this that this class is a mix a several psycholopgy, a little bit of social psychology and a little bit of a cognitive psychology etc.

I would have love to say that thank to the group works that we have in classe I learn new things about social skill but unfortunaltely or fortunately, I had a lot of groups work in class, back in my home university, so it was really familiar to me. However, I can say that it was still a great experience because I was able to discover new person, new culture, new countries, new informations that I would propably never discover.

And justly thank to those groups work, I “discover”or understand even better that despite our differencies, we have a lot of commons point, whatever our origins, countries.

Concerning the things that I didn’t understand, there where a lot of it. I would also use this moment to give my humble thought about the methode the teacher use for our classes. I think that in general, the topic look interesting and make sens about why we are studying them. However, I think that because the language is not the mother tongue’s teacher, its was difficult for him to speak freely about the topic. And I think that it is better to priviledge quality over quantity. I think it would have been more easy to work on few topic that at the end we will master than woirking on a lot of topic and being lost on the topic. Thank to the grooup’s work, I was able to speak about this topic with my classmate and we were mostly all agreeing that we were wishing that there where fewer topic to study and to take the time to work. It was very intense almost one topic per classe. In my home university we take at least two seances to work on the same topic. However, I think that perhaps we could have follow the rythmes if we was an other classe on the week. a smallest class when we could talk about the lecture in more details.

HOWEVER, I really appreciate that the teacher take the time to put some notes on the next classe about the previouly one. It was really nice because it helps us or at least me to go back to the topic and understand it better and see what I didn’t really understand.

I leave this semester in Greece more bigger, more grown up I think.

I went back to my home. In the first classe that we had we talked about what is the signification of a home. About how we feel at home, etc. My anwser was that I love my city, that if I have the opportunities, I will never leave it. I also said that my all life is was there, my familly, my friend, I was born and raised in this city and I feel a real connection to it. I also said that having my own house was important to me because it was where I feel the more secure and the more me. I still thin tthe same, but I alos relize that even if I was far from my home and my all universe, I create my onw one here in greece. I created my onw world we my new friend, my new house, my new school. It felt good to be back home but I also miss Greece and my friend, I wish they were physically by my side for me to hug them…

I create a new home and I think that us human have this abiliti to bounce back on our feet. Of course we have our upsidedown but we are quick to melting ourself in a new environemtn.

I am proud of myself because I came from very far and before comming I was a little bit nervous, anxioux about what my life would be here in greece ; will I be able to make friends, to survive, live alone, succued in shcool, etc. And I realize tha tyes I was, of course I did mistke, I try and failed, I learned and at some point I succed.

I think that I will end my reflexion here I feel that I say everything that I want it to. I hope that we will have the opportunity to see each other at some point of our life.

For those that I will never see again I hope that you will have a good life and that you will create one that you like and one that you can be proud of. I hope that what ever happens to you you will found prosperity.

I would also like to thank you professor for all the work that you put in us, I hope that you will be a teacher for a very long time again. I hope that our paths will cross each other one more time.

Thank you to all of you who stayed and read until here.

It was Blue Siren and I whish to all of you a wonderful life.

ps : I am very sorry if there are a lot of mistakes in my text.

Happy New Year’s first resolution … don’t damage your brain with heavy stuff when you wake up… #emergence

After waking up, I decided to watch the movie “Mindwalk”… I should have guessed that the title wasn’t a good sign > <.

“Mindwalk” is a fascinating movie, I really didn’t expect this kind of movie. From the beginning, we dive into the topic.

The structure and skeleton of the movie are very different from other movies, the movie is really only focused on the discussion between the 3 protagonists.

we have the beginning scene with Jack who’s confused about if career, and life and he wants to escape so he decides to call his friend Thomas (who’s a poet and writer).

Thomas doesn’t hesitate to invite him. He gives the impression to really loves his friend etc, but we quickly see that it is not that much the case. I was surprised at the beginning because Thomas really gives the impression to like Jack, but then he starts to think that Jack is not what he was expecting.

Thomas is a politician who’s confused about his political’s career, he wants to be president but he doesn’t seem to succeed it. Despite his Candide appearance he is very cultured and has a strong opinions about the world.

Then we have Sonia a scientist who runs away from her life.

They all meet at a french “castle” that they were visiting and start conversations on deep topics.

I think that because of their job, career, passions, etc they were able to talk about such topics. Sonia was the one who has the most passion while talking.

while watching the movie I felt very attracted by the conversation and I found myself very focused. their discussion was touching everybody who was interested in those topics.

The arguments they were using each of them was very well thinking. I could rediscover some opinions that I’d forgotten and new one that I didn’t know about. I actually felt very proud of me to be able to follow their conversation.

I enjoy watching the movie I could recommend it to some one who likes this kind of movie.

AI or known as Already Informed #emergence

AI : Artificial Intelligence.

AI is a subject that I’m well aware, and, informed of. First, in psychology in general in my university, we end up talking about it in Cognitive sciences or neuropsychology. In psychology, we talked about it more in a way to understand mankind better, to try to see if human kind, behavior can be copied, etc. How can AI be implied in our daily lives, and what are the consequences of it?

So in a psychological way, I’m already informed of AI.

Then, last year while studying psychology, I also studied cognitive sciences. And then, I really study it (in a deeper way). I went into Programmation (which I was terrible at it … ><), I also learned AI in neurosciences where we see how an AI is made, created, etc. We also study it not in a psychological way but more in a medical way. How we can use it to improve life, diseases, etc.

It was all very fascinating. I found the teacher’s classes very interesting. Still, I did not learn that much about it that day. But then it was also interesting to see what my classmates, friends thought about it.

Thank you for taking the time to read me.

earth #emergence

So, for the last seance of systems theory. What did I learn? What do I think about it? How do I feel about it ?

So many questions…

I learn plenty of things this day.

I also really like the new approach that we used for the collective work in groups.

I think that it is a great way to express our creativity and see how we work in different ways in groups. With my group, we were really excited to do the draw. We each of us communicate our ideas and we all participate to the drawing. we tried to make a draw with all the information that we “collect”, and learned with the lesson. Then, we tried to put all our thought on paper with a drawing.

I think that when the teacher showed us the video about the environment was really important. Even if we are more or less aware of this topic, it is important to remember us of the situation of our world. Despite that people know the situation and that there is a lot of change, I think it is still not enough to “save” the planet. We need to try harder I think.

I felt great and calm that day. I also felt that the atmosphere was great I think it is due to the activities that woke up everybody and it was really fun to do.

For those (and also to you sir ><) who had taken the time to read my post thank you very much !!!

S4 Reductionism #emergence

So, for today’s class, what did I think about it ?

I have to be honest, I wasn’t concentrating on this class as I should have…

I understood to topic of the classes and understood some of it but when I think about it it is kind of blurry …

I remember some parts of it like about the section such as Reductionism or self-organization. I also remember the ant’s video.

I understood that in self-organization there isn’t a leader, that everybody is working together. That order can come from chaos. Everything and everyone will “comply” for the “group”.

I made a big character of it, I exaggerated a little bit but I think that you will understand what I meant.

I also remember the video about the small clock… I guess ?

I have a good memory for images and videos…

The problem that I can have sometimes, is that when the teacher starts to talk and say something that I can relate to it I start to think about it and in the end, I lost track of what the teacher or other people were saying… and today wasn’t my day I was very… hum… dreaming ?

So… sorry I don’t have much to say today but I will do better for the next session in two weeks !!!!

Wishing you a good day/evening/night !

System #emergence 3

What about this class? What did I learn? What’s the topic of this class make me felt?

I appreciate the fact that we take a look back at what we did previous last class. First, it can help to remember the topic and then, also clarify the things that we didn’t understand or thought that we did.

For today’s class, I am not sure that I completely understood everythings that the teacher explained. The dirs part of the course I think that I understood it, but not quite sure for the second part. The summoning’s things are still confusing me, I tried to talk about it with my group when we made one, but I didn’t completely understand what they explained to me.

I think that I got the notion of the systems explained earlier. When several things that didn’t have a connection first are put together and at the end, they are part of something that is interdependent or interrelated, they make a whole together.

I think that the teacher would want me to explain how I feel about it 😆.

I think that it is pretty true. We all are part of something that in the end is bigger than ourselves. For taking an example of the class, a football team is a pretty accurate things. We can’t make a football team alone, we can’t fill every position, role of the team. However, if we take a bunch of people, in the end, we can have a team that is complete, which makes a whole.

Or furthermore, if we try to find a solution to a problem, I as an alone person, would probably won’t be able to find the whole solution. But if we are taking 99 more people, and that those 99 people have 1% of the solution we can all solve the solution and find 100 % of the solution.

I as an individual can’t be a country but if I interact with a lot of other people, we can all form a complete and unified whole such as a country.

I appreciate this class even though I kind of felt sleepy with the store closed.

S2 – Home. #emergence

What is a home? When can we say that a home is our home? Does the location of our home matter ?

A home for me is a place where you feel safe. A place where you can be your true self without the world knowing or observing. A Home can also be with people you trust and love. A home can also be a place where you can disconnect from the world, where you can rest, and reboot your batteries.

In the second class, we discovered where the others feel at home and why ? We discovered if it was their hometown or another city, or country.

I discovered and learned new things that day. How people from a different country than me saw their home.

During that class, I really appreciate the contact with my classmate, and hopefully, friend-to-be ! I have the opportunity to learn new things about the country that I don’t really know that much about.

Despite the very good energy from the class and the teacher, I would love to have a part of knowledge from the teacher, like some psychology stuff, and not only knowing where people live (even if it’s interesting). Like why we talked about Home, some knowledge about the significance of a home to people, etc.

But I like the fact that the teacher tries to make us feel good and comfortable in his class.

To conclude, I enjoy the class and learn new things and I’m really looking forward to the rest of the classes.
