Experiencing the World: A Guide to Experiential Learning for Kids and Adults



The visual and auditory experiences lead to feelings, or kinesthetic (Ks in neuro-shorthand) responses. From these Vs, As, and the generated Ks, we make meaning about the world, other people, situations and about ourselves. The decisions we make about these experiences formulate beliefs. Beliefs about ourselves are called identity.




Experiencing the world




The upshot is this: We experience and remember the world we infer. We don't have direct access to the world as it is, no matter how "direct" our perceptual experience and memories can sometimes appear to us.

There are other critical risk factors that may be more unique to the field of psychiatry. Chief among these is the working relationship that psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals, have with clients who are experiencing psychological trauma. The challenging demands posed by these and other difficult clients can lead to greater stress and frustration among psychiatrists, which in turn can fuel the exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy of burnout. This process has also been described in terms such as compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and vicarious traumatization46, 47, 48. The burnout experience can become especially overwhelming when the psychiatrist becomes the target of anger, hatred, and even violence, as a result of negative transference49. Violent incidents with patients can be emotionally draining and difficult to manage, and can lead health providers to psychologically distance themselves from their work. The occurrence of violence can also make providers feel that they lack control over their job, and thus challenge their sense of professional efficacy.


A new understanding of this linkage comes from a recent longitudinal study in Finland, which found a reciprocal relationship between burnout and depression, with each predicting subsequent developments in the other. It was noteworthy that burnout fully mediated the relationship of workplace strains with depression: when problems at work contribute to depression, experiencing burnout is a step in the process66.


The problem for you is that the very faint signals create uncertainty. Because our ears are constantly sending background information to the brain, you will sometimes think that you heard a sound when none was there, and you will sometimes fail to detect a sound that is there. Your task is to determine whether the neural activity that you are experiencing is due to the background noise alone or is the result of a signal within the noise.


Conflict remains the key driver of hunger around the world. The war in Ukraine has further exacerbated the hunger crises in East Africa and elsewhere because of skyrocketing food and fertilizer prices. Climate disasters, like droughts and floods, are also a major driver of food insecurity.


Escalating conflict and extreme weather caused by climate change have worsened access to food in Ethiopia. The political situation, particularly in Tigray, remains volatile and violence has forced people to flee their homes and agricultural fields. At the same time, southern Ethiopia is currently experiencing the worst drought in 40 years.


The impact of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) is being felt strongly across the Asian continent. On January 23rd, the Chinese government ordered people to stay at home in the provincial capital of Wuhan, and has expanded to the rest of Hubei since. Hubei Province (an economy the size of Sweden) is now in the 4th week of shutdown. Macau, the world's gambling capital has been asked to shut down for one half a month. The Diamond Princess cruise ship sits docked in Yokohama, Japan with 3,000+ passengers and crew aboard. The Hilton Hotel group has closed 150 hotels in China. Delta, United and American have cancelled all of their mainland China flights through the end of March, at least. So far, the disease has infected over 69,000 people, and has been reported in 25 countries.


The effects of the Coronavirus will continue to be felt around the world. This virus has reshaped our views of travel. Our mission has always been helping people travel who otherwise could/would not. Discover Live is currently in the forefront of being able to offer LIVE, real time travel Experiences from popular destinations around the World, to you, in the safety of your own home or facility. When you are ready for a LIVE travel Experience to discover the beauty that our world still has to offer, we will be here for you.


I am looking for a psychological term or phrase for experiencing the world via the senses. (I am particularly interested in visual, auditory and thermal stimuli.) I am not looking for the word "sensory" or similar, as that is too physiological.


THIS is a superlative that the people of continental China would rather not apply to their country: it is currently experiencing the most extreme heat wave ever recorded anywhere in the world.\r\rChina's own official weather data go back to 1961, and its historical weather record, although obviously not as detailed the older it gets, dates back to the 4th century BCE (Before the Common Era). Modern weather records elsewhere in the world began around 1880, but there is some continuous data dating back to the mid-17th century, and usefully descriptive records traceable to the 1st century. In none of those has there ever been a heat wave of such magnitude in terms of duration, the area of land affected or variance from \"normal\" temperatures as there is now in China.\r\rHere are some of the gory details, recorded in an article in New Scientist earlier this week: In Chongqing on August 18, the daily high temperature reached 45 Celsius (C), the highest temperature recording anywhere in China outside the Gobi Desert. On August 20, Chongqing's low temperature for the day (after enduring a sweltering high of 43.7 C) was 34.9 C, the highest low temperature ever recorded in China, desert included. Across the country, rivers have fallen to unprecedented lows, with 66 drying up completely, yet perversely, a few places have experienced flash flooding from heavy, but short-lived rainfall; on the same day that Chongqing was baking and its own Jialing River had evaporated down to its bed, the Qiantang River that passes through Zhejiang province and the city of Hangzhou flooded, killing at least 21 people.\r\rThose momentary respites have not helped the worsening overall situation, however. The government announced a national drought alert on August 19, prompted by disappearing supplies of fresh water and hydropower; in the worst areas, such as Sichuan province, factories have had to shut down for lack of power to meet skyrocketing demand for air-conditioning. China's agricultural sector has been hammered as well; in Sichuan alone, 47,000 hectares of crops have been completely destroyed and another 433,000 hectares \"damaged,\" according to official information.\r\rDrought is severely affecting other parts of the world, too, such as much of Europe, western North America and the Horn of Africa, but these pale in comparison to what is happening in China. Yet it had only been within the past week that the catastrophe attracted any public attention outside of China.\r\rThat is unfair, but the reasons for it are not a mystery. The Beijing government is extraordinarily thin-skinned about news that puts the country in a bad light even when it is something that is not necessarily its fault, and exercises aggressive control of what information gets out, often to the government's or the country's disadvantage. Beyond that, China's manner in dealing with the rest of the world has not earned it much sympathy; even countries with whom Beijing has ostensibly friendly relations view it with some apprehension. What we know about what is happening in China now suggests an environmental and humanitarian crisis of potentially unimaginable scale \u2014 but at the same time, the nagging suspicion of \"what aren't they telling us?\" is difficult to dismiss.\r\rRecommending to or pleading with the Beijing government to be more open is a waste of time. To be reminded of that, we need only recall the enduring mystery of the origin of the coronavirus \u2014 a mystery caused by Beijing's stubborn refusal to participate in any investigation that might lead to identifying China as the source (it may or may not have been). As much as the Beijing government may wish for the heat wave\/drought to be a problem it can quietly manage without making China look weak or irresponsible in the eyes of the rest of the world, it cannot. China is located on the same planet as the rest of us, and its current calamity is going to have significant consequences for the rest of the world.\r\rSoutheast Asian countries are going to feel the effects first, particularly Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, which depend on the Mekong River for much of their energy, water and food production. The Mekong was already under a great deal of stress after four years of drought conditions and the diversion of a great deal of water upstream in China, but that situation has rapidly spiraled from \"the low level of the river is troubling\" to \"the river isn't there anymore.\"\r\rAs Rep. Joey Salceda pointed out earlier in the week, that could spell trouble for the Philippines if we do not have a good dry-season rice harvest, as Vietnam and Thailand are our go-to sources for any imports that may be needed to bolster supplies. Vietnam's rice will be unavailable \u2014 the country may be facing the unheard-of situation of having to import some of its own supply \u2014 and neighboring Thailand's will be considerably more costly.\r\rEven if we dodge that bullet and have a couple of good rice harvests in a row \u2014 fortunately, there are no signs yet of serious drought developing here for the foreseeable future \u2014 the agricultural catastrophe in China is going to be disastrous for already high food prices and overall inflation here. The Philippines relies on China for a great deal more of its food supply than most people realize and the government is comfortable admitting; that supply is already being badly compromised, both in terms of prices and actual availability. For other commodities, coming as it does on the heels of pressures caused by lingering supply chain bottlenecks, high fuel prices, and Russia's destructive war against Ukraine, the China crisis is pushing prices higher across the board.\r\rIn the face of all this, it becomes critical for the Philippines to aggressively pursue efforts to boost food security and reduce import reliance, and the government knows this, if for no other reason than being told repeatedly that this is the only way to forestall a disaster. But that is necessarily a longer-term effort, something that will pay dividends in three years, or five years, or 10. What can be done about the quickly approaching crisis in the short term is not so clear, and that should worry everyone.\r\rben.kritz@manilatimes.netTwitter: @benkritz\r\r \r\r ","article_custom_fields":"\"\":[\"\"],\"seo_meta_keywords\":[\"\"],\"seo_meta_description\":[\"\"],\"seo_meta_title\":[\"\"],\"sponsored_flag\":[\"\"],\"offer_flag\":[\"\"],\"featured_article_flag\":[\"\"],\"drupal_json\":[\"\\\"type\\\":null,\\\"properties\\\":\\\"PUBLISHED\\\":0,\\\"PROMOTED\\\":0,\\\"STICKY\\\":0,\\\"fields\\\":[]\"],\"wp_custom_json\":[\"\\\"type\\\":\\\"\\\",\\\"fields\\\":[]\"],\"article_tags\":[\"\"],\"show_image\":[\"off\"],\"Disable_Ad\":[\"off\"],\"disable_player\":[\"off\"],\"column\":[\"\"],\"kicker\":[\"\"],\"edel\":[\"\"],\"delu\":[\"\"],\"delt\":[\"Read this in The Manila Times digital edition.\"],\"premium\":[\"off\"],\"Redirect_URL\":[\"\"],\"page_number\":\"0\",\"initial_publication\":\"\",\"date_created\":\"2022-08-27 22:40:02\",\"date_modified\":\"2022-08-27 22:41:38\",\"last_modified_user\":\"Severino Frayna\",\"section_color\":\"\",\"target_page\":\"0\",\"cxense_metatags\":null","cms_type":"live","author_id":82,"section_id":13,"seo_meta_keywords":"China,is,experiencing,the,world's,worst,heat,wave.,Ever.","seo_meta_description":"China is experiencing the world's worst heat wave.
