In the article “Is Google making us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr, Carr proposes that technology is causing a negative effect on our brain. Carr believes that since he’s been on the internet a lot more in the past decade he notices that his mind can’t focus on books or essays anymore. Even bloggers, that Carr follows, are coming up with the same conclusion. Since internet access is so quick it’s changing how our minds work and that we are becoming depended on the internet for everything. Carr goes on to say how he thinks that as long as we rely on computers mediate our understanding of the world that our own intelligence will become mixed into artificial intelligence.
In his article, "Is Google Making Us Stupid?", Nicholas Carr contends that the consumption of information through the Internet has made people dim-witted due to poor concentration and comprehension.

To the reader, this makes Carr seem less disconnected from his general audience when he continues to discuss the negative effect of the Internet on interpretation and focus on the remains of the article. Carr seems more like a well-versed expert who altogether
In the Dynastic cycle, the Qing and Ming Dynasties of ancient China showed similar periods of decline.they share their periods because they both were taken over for being corrupt and getting taken down by rebellion. The dynasties are very different from each other but share some similarities. First, I will be talking about the differences that the two dynasties have.one example is from the Ming dynasty they were not originally from China but the Ming dynasty was from China.another difference that they share is that the Ming dynasty had a very strong and cruel authoritarian government. On the other hand, the qing dynasty had a strong economic system so the valued trade.the Ming dynasty still valued trade but not as strongly as the Qing dynasty.
James said “I worked hard to learn these minute technical things, and now I’m getting paid for it. Am I paid too much to code? Am I paid too little to write? No; in each case, I’m paid exactly what I should be.” He makes a good point because in each job different skills are needed, some are scarcer and more wanted than others that’s why different salaries are given in different jobs.

An organization’s behavior will correlate their effectiveness with task achievement and it’s understanding of organization behavior is crucial in determining how to improve productivity. The human behavior can influence a company either negatively or positively depending on the company and the way they interact with employees and how the employees feel they are treated. At Engstrom Auto Mirror plant they had a decline in productivity plus production of low-quality mirrors, after being very successful for a period of time.
Nowadays, the internet is the biggest marketing and media tool that people can use today. It can have various effects on people’s daily life ranging from bad to beneficial. In the essay “Is Google making us stupid” by Nicholas Carr writes about how internet usage in the 21st century is changing people’s reading habit and a cognitive concentration. Particularly, he emphasizes on Google’s role in this matter and its consequences on making people machine like. Carr also stated that the online reading largely contributes to people’s way of reading a book.
Alistair Barr, a finance and technology journalist, exposes the transformation of Google Plus through her article,Google Strips Down Google Plus (November 17 2015, New York City) from the Wall Street Journal; therefore, Barr claims that the minimal use and meager popularity of the social networking platform catalyzed Google to enhance the Google Plus features. Firstly, Barr explains how the mass popularity from Facebook inspired Google to create Google Plus; secondly, Barr transitions from the inspiration of the creation of Google plus to the new installations built in the new Google Plus;finally, Barr reveals the continuation of minor interest from people towards Google Plus despite the enhancements incorporated in the social networking
There is no doubt that there needs to be an oversight of Google’s activities given the astronomical growth in number of users and the technology itself. Internet has risen from being just for intellectuals in academic/research environment to being ubiquitous with even a roadside vendor with no formal education relying on it. Hence, it is important for the industry leaders, like Google, to show high sense of responsibility in protecting its users, on whom they solely rely on for their revenue. Protecting users on the internet shouldn’t depend on user’s ability to navigate through complex browser/cookie settings and acceptance of pages and pages of ever changing terms and conditions (T&C).
The gender pay gap is a significant issue in the United States because it promotes institutional and internal sexism and the unfair treatment of human beings. An infamous statistic about the wage gap has been the 77 cent statistic, stating that for every dollar a man earns, a woman earns 77 cents. The statistic is calculated by, “...dividing the median earnings of full-time, year-round, working women by the median earnings of full-time, year-round, working men, all rounded to the nearest $100” (Glynn 2). This, however, represents males and females from all occupations, causing opponents to argue that, because it does not represent the gap between people who have the same job, a wage gap does not exist. Nonetheless, multiple studies have proven that a gender pay gap does exist within the United States.
It was proposed by Jacobs (1974) that in roles such as Sales there is always a minority group of employees who possess superior selling abilities as compared to the general group, and that they tend to dominate revenue generation. In such cases where it is seen that performance output does not follow a normal distribution, there is reason to suppose that non-normal power law distributions may then be applicable (West & Deering, 1995). Many non-normal distributions such as Pareto’s Law (1897) have fatter tails as compared to a normal curve. Paretian probability distributions therefore allow a greater number of extreme values to be present in the curve. Studies performed by researchers such as Aguinis & O'Boyle (2014) have in fact shown that contrary to popular belief, performance distributions usually tend to follow a Paretian distribution.
I. OVERVIEW Google’s human resource management involves different strategies to address the workforce needs of this diversified business organization. This diversification imposes significant challenges to human resource managers of the company. Nonetheless, there are certain HRM approaches that are generally applied to different areas of Google.

In my opinion, who is paid how much is not a problem, but am I paid fair is? Therefore; I will consult with Human Resources office in confidential about a pay policy issue because human resources representative will have useful perspective on how to address the issue within the organization. Finally, when my performance evaluation shows a lots of improvement, I don’t think that human resources will hold me into the lower salary than rest of my coworkers. My hard work deserves equal pay which will influence other employee’s behavior and increase organization’s performance and meet organization
The Google Life Like any other corporations or organizations, we cannot just explain the culture of its organization without knowing the background and history of the company first. So, I did a little research about Google and its humble beginnings. Company Background and History Larry Page and Sergey Brin met in 1995 at Stanford University, when Larry Page was considering Stanford for grad school and Sergey Brin, a student of Stanford was assigned to show him around the university. Although, they disagreed nearly about everything in their first meeting, it didn’t stop them to build together a search engine -called “Backrub,” and was renamed Google after, with a mission “to organize the world’s information, and make it universally accessible
