Stress due to repeated exams

Students often feel stress due to repeated exams, assignments, homework, class test etc. Many schools and colleges pressure students to study and get good marks. In this blog we are going to counter the following topics stress due to exams, stress management techniques, need of extracurricular.

Stress due to Exams

Nowadays stress is common among school and college students because of repeated exams, class tests and assignments. Every school and college wants its students to study well get good marks. That’s right I agree, but in order to increase students marks they keep extra classes after school, keep repeated tests. With this student feels stress. Student goes to school at 9:00 am and return back to home at 8:00 pm. After returning home also he has to do his homework. Thus he left with no time to play or do anything else he wants. Every school should increase the interest in studies to its students. If they were successful, then each and every students enjoys studying, like this student will not feel any kind of stress.

Stress management techniques for students

Need of extracurricular in schools

Every student is unique, some are interested in music and some in art and some in computers etc. Every school should encourage students in the subject which they love.

How artificial intelligence is replacing humans?

Artificial intelligence, this is not a new name. This is the most trending subject in this 21st century. Examples of artificial intelligence Alexa, google assistant, Siri etc. In this blog, we are going to see what is artificial intelligence? Type of artificial intelligence, Can machines think? How artificial intelligence is replacing humans? Advantages and disadvantages of AI?

WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ?

Artificial Intelligence commonly known as AI is the intelligence represented by machines, as opposed to natural intelligence display by humans. AI is an interdisciplinary science with multiple approaches. Based on capabilities AI can be classified into weak AI, strong AI, and super AI. Weak AI can focus on only one task and it cannot go beyond its limitations. Strong AI can understand and learn that much of a human. Super AI suppresses human intelligence and can perform task better and beyond human intelligence.

TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

There are four types of artificial intelligence, they are Reactive machines, Limited memory, Theory of mind, Self awareness.

  1. Reactive machines

This is the simplest level of Artificial Intelligence. Reactive machines performs basic operations. No learning occurs in this type. This is the first stage of artificial intelligence system. It doesn’t have past memory and cannot use past memory for future actions. Examples of reactive memory are Static machine learning models, and IBM chess program.

2. Limited memory

Limited memory of AI has the ability to store past memory and predictions and use the data to make future predictions. With limited memory, machine learning architecture become more complex. The examples of limited memory are self-driving cars are the best example. There are three types of limited memory –

i) Reinforcement learning

ii) Long short term memory(LSTM)

iii) Evolutionary Generative Adversarial Networks(EGAN)

3. Theory of Mind

This is the advanced type of artificial intelligence. Theory of mind refers to the ability of human mind to attribute mental states or others is a key component of human cognition.

4. Self awareness

Self awareness is more advanced type of artificial intelligence. It is the final step of AI development to build systems that can form representation of themselves.

CAN MACHINES THINK?

The biggest question in our mind is can machines think like humans? machines do not have feeling, emotions and consciousness. Therefore the artificial intelligence cannot think like us. The artificial intelligence is in the beginning stage in this world right now. But in future when artificial intelligence is in the advanced stage, scientist suggests that there may be a possibility. AI is programmed by humans into every machine to perform a certain task. Therefore AI cannot think and take decisions on its own. Therefore AI cannot think.

HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS REPLACING HUMANS?

In earlier day, people used to work in the factories but now machines are working in place of humans. Now the question comes Can artificial intelligence is replace humans? the answer is yes, we have seen robots replacing human works in a organization. As we known that AI is in the beginning stage of development. Experts suggest that AI can replace human work in the future. A study suggests that AI will replace 30 percent of human labor in 2030.

ADVANTAGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

  1. AI takes only certain time to perform a task.
  2. AI can do the complex tasks in seconds.
  3. AI is available for 24×7 by a day.
  4. AI can reduce error and increase accuracy.

DISADVANTAGES OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

  1. Creating a machine that could simulate human intelligence requires a lot of time and lot of money.
  2. AI cannot think beyond its box. There is no creativity for AI.
  3. AI will increase the unemployment rate, as it will replace human labor.

Major problems faced in India.

Every country in the world have some other the problems, like that India also have some problems. In this blog, we are going to discuss, some major problems in India like the , education system, unemployment, poverty, basic sanitation, and pollution.

EDUCATION SYSTEM

Every education system will have both theoretical and practical knowledge. Both theoretical and practical knowledge are important. In India’s education system consist of 90 percent theoretical knowledge and 10 percent practical knowledge. Every student needs practical and skilled knowledge, because they are the one who help student to live in the real world. Every sector whether it is agriculture or IT needs skilled workers not theoretical workers. Students in India often study to score marks not knowledge.

UNEMPLOYMENT

According to a survey, 6.9 percent of people in India are unemployed. Nowadays, unemployment become common among youngsters. Unemployment is the state at which person who is able to work but fails to get one. Why there is unemployment in India? The unemployment rate is high in India because there are more job seekers than the job requirement. Due to covid-19 pandemic many people lost there jobs because of the national wide lock down and shut down of some companies. There is high competition for every job in India because of the high population. India stands at 86th position in unemployment in the world. The government of India must take the necessary steps to eradicate unemployment. This is very serious problem in the society.

POVERTY

Poverty is another major problem for a country. As of now, 13.7 percent of people in India live below the poverty line. People who earn less than 1060 rupees in rural and 1286 rupees per month in urban comes under the poverty line. 80 percent of the poor people live in villages only. 43 percent of the people belongs to Scheduled Caste(SC) and Scheduled Tribes(ST). The maximum people living below the poverty line are found in Bihar, Madhya pradesh, Uttar pradesh and rajasthan only. People under the poverty line declined from 37 percent in to 13.7 percent in 2021. Experts suggest that it will decline by 5 percent in 2025.

POLLUTION

Pollution is the serious problem for all countries in the world. As of now, India stands 5th position in world’s most polluted countries. Delhi is the most polluted city in India, Breathing air in Dehli is like breathing 35 cigarettes at a time. There are many types of pollution such as water pollution, air pollution, land pollution and noise pollution. sewage water is main reason for water pollution in India. Ganga and yamuna are the most polluted rivers in India. Vehicle horns and construction sounds are main reason for noise pollution. Government needs to take care of these following problems.

BASIC SANITATION

Sanitation is another big problem in India. According to a survey, more than 700 million people don’t have the access to toilets at there home. In slums people don’t have a toilet at all. Many rural schools don’t have toilet facilities because of that parents don’t send there daughter to school. We should be thankful government because under the Swach Bharat Abhiyan government built 12 million toilets for the people.

That’s all from my side. I hope you like it.
