TRENDS, NETWORKS, AND CRITICAL THINKING IN THE 21ST CENTURY

An encounter with Reason and Technology

The course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. It aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills— essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of care”. Global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set of criteria. Students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them to (1) formulate their stances on issues or concerns; (2) propose interventions and; (3) formulate alternative futures. The students will realize the interconnections between their neural connections and social realities.

MELCS 1: Differentiate a trend from a fad

In this competency, we have explored first the our understanding of Trends and Fads and gave some examples. Then we distinguished the two.

The rising of a new lifestyle, beliefs, economics, and a social life that last for a long period of time.

Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/trend

Millennials are also known as Generation Z or Y. The 21st century has developed trends/fads in the use of words or expressions.

Below are some examples:

They are objects, behaviors, and lifestyles that achieved popularity but instantly fade away. They last for a short period of time. Source: Best, Joel (2006). Flavor of the Month: Why Smart People Fall for Fads . University of California Press.

Based on our learnings, a fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived and without basis in the object's qualities, while a trend is a general direction in which something is developing or changing.

" We play with fads, we work with trends"

Trendsetter

A person who leads or starts a trend.

A person who foretells the future trend.

Trendspotting

It refers to a study of trends that affect society.

Trend Analysis

It is based on trendspotting but it extends this into developing future scenario and so they say that to follow a trend, one must not only a trend, one must not only be conscious of what is currently happening but be wise enough to predict the future. (Urgel,2017)

A small or specific trend that lasts between 3 to 5 years.

A large-scale trend that lasts between 5 to 10 years.

A major trend that has a large-scale effect in society. A driving forces of today and tomorrow that defines the world.

Affects most area of human life and usually identified to define an era.

Remember that microtrends can become macrotrends if they affect more lives and societies. Then, macrotrends can become a megatrend if it can affect a much larger group for a longer period like a decade. Megatrends can become gigatrends if they have everlasting effects and influences. Therefore, it is evident that the whole which comprises the larger part is made up of small things or parts.

Set of interconnected nodes that are open structures and are able to expand without limits as long as they can communicate within the network.

"If you wan t to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others ".

Intuitive Thinking

I s a phenomenon of the mind that is define d as the ability to acquire knowledge without inference or the use of reason.

Local and Global Networks

Global networks tap from the local networks to operate. On the other hand, the values of the local networks are determined by their connection to the g lobal networks of value making, financial, managerial function, or otherwise.[TNCT book by: RMA, Basas]

Trends, Networks and Critical Thinking (TNCT)

Trends is general direction in which something is developing or changing. Network an arrangement of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines. Critical Thinking is the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment.

A pattern of gradual change in a condition, output, or process, or an average or general tendency of a series of data points to move in a certain direction over time, represented by a line or curve on a graph.

F acebook-  s pend time using the social networking website facebook., messenger – a person who carries a message or is employed to carry messages., instagram – is a mobile photo-sharing application and service that allows users to share pictures and videos either publicly or privately on the service, as well as through a variety of other social networking platforms, such as facebook, twitter, tumblr, and flickr., a desirable trend characterized with lots of enthusiasm and energy over a short period of time. fads are often seen with common consumer items, especially around a holiday season. products that have fallen into this category include beanie babies in the 1990s, and gaming system in the 2000s. they can also be seen in other areas, such as investing. for example, leveraged buy-outs (lbos) were used frequently in the 1980s for companies looking for acquire rivals, suppliers, and other related entities. in the late 1990s though, lbos became less popular..

DIFFERENTIATING A TREND FROM FAD S

  the primary difference between a trend and a fad is that trends have the potential to be long-term influencers on the market. in addition, trends often involve altered classics. for example, specific colors can be declared “trendy.” for 2014, the colors orange and blue garnered a lot of attention. however, orange and blue are classic colors; in other words, a classic piece has been declared a “trend.” trends can be much more difficult to track, but the best rule of thumb when considering whether a piece is a classic or a trend, is to ask yourself: “will i still love this in five years” if the answer is a resounding “yes,” then chances are that the piece is either a classic or an updated classic, both of which will age beautifully., understanding local networks, intuitive thinking, intuitive thinking has contrasting qualities: it is unfocused, nonlinear, contains “no time,” sees many things at once, views the big picture, contains perspective, is heart centered, oriented in space and time, and tends to the real or concrete. intuition comes into its own where analytical thinking is inadequate: under time pressure, where conditions are dynamic, where the differentiation between observer and observed is unclear. it works best where the observer has experience in the particular situation, is difficult to teach in the classroom, eschews seeking the ‘best’ option in favor of the ‘workable,’ and is prepared to act on feelings or hunches where explanations are either not required or there is no time for them. intuition is experience translated by expertise to produce rapid action., sfp described as a four-step process, 1. understanding: the thorough understanding the organisation’s mission, vision, values, and goals; 2. analysing: the analysis of the organization’s facility needs; 3. planning: the development of strategies that meet long-term needs of the organization; 4. acting: the implementation of planned strategies., as sfp merges with strategic policy objectives of each particular sector or organization, alignment among stakeholders is critical for successful partnerships. in this regard, there is a transcendence away from a one directional purchaser-supplier association to a more integrated and cooperative relationship., global networks, a global network is any communication network which spans the entire earth. the term, as used in this article refers in a more restricted way to bidirectional communication networks., globalization, globalization he .process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale., migration is the movement by people from one place to another with the intentions of settling, permanently in the new location. the movement is often over long distances and from one country to another, but internal  migration  is also possible; indeed, this is the dominant form globally., types of migration, internal migration – this is defined as the process where migrants look for a new residence within their own country, state, or continent., external migration – moving in a different country, state or continent to a new residence, migration – leaving one country to move to another, immigration – moving into a new country, forced migration – this happens when the state or authorities forced its people to migrate for a reason, planetary networs climate change , a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels..

Global climate change will affect people and the environment in many ways. Some of these impacts , like stronger hurricanes and severe heat waves, could be life threatening. Others, like spreading weeds, will be less serious. And some effects , like longer growing seasons for crops, might even be good!

Steps to address the problems of climate change

DEMOCRATIC INTERVENTION

Democratic relating to or supporting democracy or its principles. Intervention is the act of inserting one thing between others, like a person trying to help. You could be the subject of a school  intervention  if your teachers call your parents about the bad grades you’ve been hiding.  Intervention  comes from the Latin intervenire, meaning “to come between, interrupt”.

INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT)

Is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications ..

Neural and  Social Networks

Nueral a computer system modeled on the human brain and nervous system., social network the use of dedicated websites and applications to interact with other users, or to find people with similar interests to oneself., unit 1 is all about fad vs trends and their differences. unit 2 definition of  intuitive thinking and strategic analysis, four steps to conquer it. unit 3 definition of global networks, globalization, migration. unit 4 platenary  climate change, the effects of climate change and the solution. unit 5 the definition of dimensions of democracy. unit 6 definiton of ict. unit 7 the neural and  social networks and their uniformity., application, the course provides opportunities for students to discover patterns and extract meanings from emerging trends. it aids in developing their critical and creative thinking skills– essential tools for decision making and understanding “ethics of care”. global trends in the 21st century are examined and are either accepted or rejected on a sound set of criteria. students will be asked to create and analyze scenarios that will challenge them to formulate their stances on issues or concerns propose interventions and formulate alternative futures. the students will realize the interconnections between their neural connections and social realities., share this:, leave a comment cancel reply.

The potential of trends management is originated in the ability to understand the changes in human behavior and to translate this knowledge in guidelines that can bring innovation. The qualitative approach considers the society composed of individuals and groups, who share meanings according to collective expectations and perspectives. Based on these precepts, the researcher in the field of trends investigates processes, facts and situations in the social scene that, interconnected, may explain the analyzed phenomenon. Through literature review and theoretical problematization, the concepts and approaches referenced in qualitative research and trends management are discussed, evidencing the methodology and guiding assumptions of transformations in the patterns of human behavior.

The present yearbook (which is the fourth in the series) is subtitled Trends & Cycles. It is devoted to cyclical and trend dynamics in society and nature; special attention is paid to economic and demographic aspects, in particular to the mathematical modeling of the Malthusian and post-Malthusian traps' dynamics. An increasingly important role is played by new directions in historical research that study long-term dynamic processes and quantitative changes. This kind of history can hardly develop without the application of mathematical methods. There is a tendency to study history as a system of various processes, within which one can detect waves and cycles of different lengths – from a few years to several centuries, or even millennia. The contributions to this yearbook present a qualitative and quantitative analysis of global historical, political, economic and demographic processes, as well as their mathematical models. This issue of the yearbook consists of three main sections: (I) Long-Term Trends in Nature and Society; (II) Cyclical Processes in Pre-industrial Societies; (III) Contemporary History and Processes. We hope that this issue of the yearbook will be interesting and useful both for historians and mathematicians, as well as for all those dealing with various social and natural sciences.

The development of increased and accessible computing power has been a major agent in the current emphasis placed upon the presentation of data in graphical form as a means of informing or persuading. However research in Science and Mathematics Education has shown that skills in the interpretation and production of graphs are relatively difficult for Secondary school pupils. In this paper we explore the conjecture that the use of computers in education has the potential to revolutionise the ways in which children learn graphing skills. We describe research with 8 and 9 year olds using on a pedagogic strategy which we call Active Graphing, in which spreadsheets are use to collect and present data from practical experiments, and present results which indicate that children gain higher levels of interpretative skills, particuarly in terms of the use of trend, through this approach than would be expected in traditional classrooms.

The purpose of articulating these two texts is to establish connections between the basic definitions of Trend Studies and Cultural Studies. Two fields of research with both humanistic and scientific foundations. This link should help build a new perspective for the study of trends provided they work on humanistic perspective that can be intertwined with a business side of culture. Martin Raymond (2010) is currently one of the key thinkers for Trend Studies and brings with this book a non-academic perspective in an effort to integrate knowledge into business. On the other side, Chris Barker (2008) sets a group of relevant definitions and considerations around Cultural Studies that help us create a framework for it. Both texts are somehow introductory and descriptive and open the opportunity to establish relations between concepts.

This text, an integral fragment of the ongoing master's research, has as main theme the theoretical-conceptual approach between trends and visual management, aiming to qualify the trend analysis method proposed by Dragt (2017) from principles and tools of visual management . In methodological terms, the article is designed in the moments of conceptualizing important terms through the Bibliographic Review, as well as the collection, reduction, categorization and interpretation of data via Qualitative Data Analysis. Furthermore, the text is classified as being of a basic, qualitative nature and with descriptive objectives. The results achieved demonstrate that the principles and tools of visual management add different advantages to the process, such as innovation, agility and encouraging the collaboration of the participants of those involved in the analysis of trends.

The present paper intends to discuss the development and consolidation process of Trend Studies, as a transversal area with transdisciplinary characteristics that was developed in connection with the concepts and practices of areas such as Cultural Studies. The numerous perspectives of Trend Studies and their different associations promoted a dispersed development that should be considered and deconstructed by means of finding common points and practices, or different perspectives, to generate a greater cohesion of concepts and methodologies. In this sense, it is important to present a model for the purpose of systematic identification and observation of trends. The result can generate a parallel process of cultural analysis capable of contributing to a basis for the generation of strategic solutions for institutional and social problems, in a new approach to culture management.

The focus of this work, ongoing Postdoctoral research consequence, is to ascertain the importance of qualitative research in an institution focused on the study and on the trends application within the understanding context of why and how they manifest themselves. The Trends Studies should be seen, in this sense, as a process that tries to sustain a constant dialogue with the consumer, guiding the designers in the design of fashion products in line with the wishes and needs of the market. Therefore, it is defined as a cross-sectional analysis of society aiming at identifying opportunities for strategic development and connecting them with the future needs of the consumer, in order to achieve the innovation process of products and services. The qualitative approach considers society composed of individuals and groups who share meanings according to expectations and collective perspectives. From this methodological design, the researcher investigates processes, facts and situations in the social scene which, interconnected, can explain the phenomenon analyzed. In summary, it is believed that the qualitative research, aiming at prospecting trends, will contribute positively and provide a critical view of students and fashion professionals in relation to the phenomenon of trends and fashion system while linked to each other.

Dr. Ernesto Y. Sibal was one of the few Filipinos in academic publishing who can irrefutably lay claim to these three titles—Patriot, Pioneer and Innovator. A staunch patriot, Dr. Sibal fiercely advocated the vision of designating Filipino-authored books for young Filipino learners. This vision was enabled by the establishment of Alemar’s Bookstore in 1958, and through the foresight and drive of Alegria Rodriguez, who shared in the vision of her husband, she helped galvanize then fledgling Alemar's Bookstore as the place to go for textbooks and school needs, propelling it to become the first established bookstore chain in the country.
