Response to Statement 5

I disagree with the following statement, I am now the same person as I was when I was 5 years old." This is because as you get older and go through puberty, your brain develops and matures. Your brain cells enhance and you gain intelligence, which enlarges your brain. The wires in your brain connect and make connections, which is another way you gain intelligence and change mentally. Therefore, as you age, your brain develops and you change mentally. You also change physically because you get facial hair, get taller, and your face complexion and shape changes a little bit as well. You look older and more mature when you get older. You also talk more intelligently and use better vocabulary when you get older, so you aren't the same when you were 5 years old as you are now.

Philosophical Question Ideas

Some questions that I have been pondering for the philsophy project are what effects does technology have on the younger generations comapred to those who did not have access to social networking? How will the world change with the increase progression of technology? For good or for bad? How will people change? For good/for bad? Is a generation built on technology unable to make face-to-face personal connections? Why do we hide behind the mask of socail networking creates? And finally, Is it a choice to use social netwroking or outside pressures that influence you to become involved in it?
