Nightmare Scenarios

As generations go by, our predecessors assume we are skipping out on important aspects of life just to get a few extra minutes on our devices. In Catherine Rampell’s “A Generation of Slackers? Not So Much”, it is said the older generations believe Generation Y is “coddled, disrespectful, narcissistic, and impatient” (Rampell 388). In all reality our generation is just doing what it has to in order to thrive in the world we live in, where technology is one of the largest parts of our everyday lives. If the older generations that criticize Generation Y had grown up in Generation Y they would realize the world we live in requires the use of technology. The advancement of society with technology has shaped Generation Y to be the people that they are, relying on technology; however, older generations believe Generation Y is lazy.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like having to survive in the wilderness for two months? A 13 year old named Brian used many different survival strategies to help him survive in the Canadian wilderness .Some strategies that he used was by using his hatchet that his mother gave him, positive thinking, and he always planned ahead.

In today’s world, many people believe that technology’s sole purpose is to draw young people away from the real world and reality. Just because you do not realize it, it does not mean it is not happening. If you think back to when you were younger, was technology the same as today?

Survival is number 1 in the book hatchet. Brian has to learn how to survive out in the forest where his plane crashed. He has to learn how to hunt, build a shelter, and find a good stream of water that is clean. The common thing is to keep a good mindset

Most people would be quick to say that they could survive in the wilderness for fifty-four days, just like Brian Robeson. However, after reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen, I honestly do not believe that I could endure the challenges that Brian faced while trying to survive. When faced with hunting, my impatience and perfectionist attitude would prevent success. Additionally, I believe that the effects of isolation and silence would take their toll quickly, and that I would go out of my mind before rescue. In view of my own personal shortcomings, I would not survive living primitively alone for 54 days.

A bushcraft survivalist does not simply rely on tools and a few tricks to keep themselves

One of the worst things that can happen in a survival situation is not being prepared. There are two ways you can not be prepared the first is with knowledge the second is not being supplied. When one is not prepared the elements can quickly take their life. Depending on what part of the world you are in animals can are a large danger. Hear are some examples the rattlesnake,bobcat,mountain lion and coyotes. If this is not scary enough then consider starving or dying of dehydration. One way to fix all of this is to be prepared with knowledge. What i mean if you know how to use the great outdoors to your advantage it can help you to survive. A example of this is making a shelter and fire with nothing but bear hand and a shoelace. This is the only solution to not being prepared

Although it may be inviting to get rough there should be an adult making sure that too much aggression isn’t let out. If there is a person being bullied the game should be stopped and the problem addressed. You can’t get aggression out on an obstacle course. It’s fun to throw a ball around. You’re told always to be still and don't throw or touch anything but in Dodgeball you’re able to do it. If you’re in the hallways and there’s a bully, once you get to dodgeball you can let it out on him. Whenever his backs turn fire you’re Ball. This will make you feel better. “ ...all of a sudden, he got plunked. . . . Joe whirled around to see who’d done it and saw that it was none other than Melvin, all 83 pounds of him, most of it smile.” - Story from The Weak Shall Inherit The Gym. This is a little twig getting back at a big time bully. Obviously little Melvin is ecstatic that he got back at Big Joe. This whole argument is countered if you have a P.E teacher who doesn’t pay attention. So you want do want make sure he/she does stays

The tactics that you use to survive in the wilderness will differ depending on a variety of factors like the time of year and the equipment that you have. No matter what, there are certain basic steps that you will need to follow to survive in the wild. If you find yourself stranded in the wilderness, focus on the following tasks:

The precise science behind dreams has baffled psychologists for years. Most of these dreams that are constantly studied are not all that enchanting as the name suggests. The grotesque side of these images of the subconscious are called nightmares. When a person experiences a nightmare, heart pounding, sweating, and nervousness occur. These sensations are due to the amount of frightening content of the dream. In turn, the subconscious has the ability to overpower the body outwardly. From research on the causes of nightmares, affected age groups, and how the brain is affected, nightmares can teach humans a lot about the inner workings of their mind.

Most of the people of today usually think that that nightmares are “bad dreams” are the same which these two terms mean differently and are commonly mistaken for having similar triggers. Nightmares become so intense they will wake you up during the night. Bad dreams,are especially haunted by interpersonal conflicts. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the first used of “nightmare” in English to around 1300, as “a female spirit or monster supposed to settle on and produce a feeling of suffocation in a sleeping person or animal”. Others traces the “mare” of the night in some linguistic form all the way to our earliest languages as humans. Since we experience most “nightmare” at night, “night” was naturally put together with “mare”, which then

They no longer have to think for themselves, find solutions to problems, or even learn basic skills. Technology has become their solution to all of their problems. Technology has provided society with many tools to help make life easier. Writer and futurist, Bruce Sterling, references this point when he addresses the Leatherman Tool and the Apple iPhone. Sterling addresses how the Apple iPhone has become a tool that has many different beneficial functions. Sterling says, “Like all digital technologies, the iPhone has yet to achieve [the physical qualities of the Leatherman but,] it makes up for this with its cannibal appetite for other tools.” He also stated, “iPhones devour other tools, which digests them into virtualized application services: phone, camera, e-mail, Web browser, text-messaging, music and video players, whole planet-girdling sets of urban Google maps, house keys, pedometer, TV remote, seismometer, Breathalyzer, alarm clock, video games, radio, bar-code scanner … the target list grows by the day” (Sterling). These tools are the main reasons our society has lost the need and desire for critical thinkers. These tools have also had many other profound effects on our society. These different technological tools have also contributed to the forming of an illiterate society. Hal Crowther, well-known essayist, writes:

Another point is that because the older generations didn’t grow up with technology, whereas the younger generations have, they feel that modern technology isn’t for them and so they leave it for the younger

How can millennials balance the need for technology and avoid the physical and psychological effects caused by the overuse of technology? There is not a simple answer for this.
