How much harm can be caused by cognitive differences-View "Mumbai Hotel"

Sitting on the eight-hour high-speed train with a tired body, I opened the "Mumbai Hotel" that I wanted to see before. To be honest, when I was in my third year of high school, I had no sense or understanding of what actually happened. Until I saw this adapted film, my hands were still trembling when I was about to write this article.

Energetic throughout

People come and go and the environment is noisy on the high-speed rail, but the plot of the film is relatively compact, and soon it fell into a state of high mental stress. As the plot develops, it has experienced emotional fluctuations of shock, anxiety, anger, warmth, despair, anger, and fear.

It is shocking that a population of 20 million, India's most affluent city, has committed such premeditated and organized terrorist acts in broad daylight!

Then it turned into anxiety. The switching of the shots and the choice of the soundtrack made people feel a deep sense of substitution. The potential victims who were trapped in it could avoid the catastrophe without knowing the specific situation...

Then it turned into anger. These assassins, who were still children at their age, began to sweep the building indiscriminately and extremely cruelly!

Fortunately, during the process, the director gave the audience a chance to breathe. In addition to the killer, the glory of human nature is reflected in everyone in the whole film. There are people like chef Hemant Oberoi, waiter Arjun, etc., willingly think and try Protect your "guests"; even the most uncomfortable thing is that an old white-haired lady expressed her doubts about the female host who is a Muslim and worried about the waiter Arjun's turban and beard in a state of extreme fear, but after communication It also stabilized afterwards.

Then fell into deep despair, time was lost every minute, the number of casualties continued to increase, but the rescue was delayed. The team that came first was an incompetent squad. It is necessary to know that it will take nearly 60 hours to resolve the matter in real events. How desperate the people who are trapped in it... And as bystanders, we can only get out of the ground and get angry. What is the Indian government doing at this moment? What is even more frustrating is that the media in the live broadcast also revealed the hiding places of some trapped people, which indirectly caused more casualties!

As the special forces rushed to resolve the battle, the movie was gradually coming to an end, but I was still shrouded in deep fear-the "killers" still thought they were doing the right thing to death! Feeling unable to calm down for a long time, why does this happen? After thinking about it for two days, I realized that it was "cognition", and the damage caused by the difference in cognition was really too heavy for us to bear .

The impact of cognitive differences

Cognition refers to the process by which people acquire or apply knowledge, or the process of information processing. The cognitive ability of a person is closely related to the cognitive process of a person. It can be said that the lower a person's cognitive level (the less information or the worse the processing degree), the more unitary the idea will become, as Mark Twain said "For a person with a hammer in his hand, everything looks like a nail."

For the killer, the "hammer" in his hand, the poverty in his home, is caused by the anger of the pagans, and all the pagans have become "nails". The poor thing is that they never realize that the poverty of the individual needs their own. Subjective initiative to change instead of resenting others.

For the "accomplice" media, the media's identity and tool incarnation are "hammers", and any information must be disseminated, but it has not been recognized that some content will cause irreparable harm to others.

In stark contrast, the chef Hemant Oberoi is willing to help the "embarrassed" employees, is willing to understand some "self-protection and escape" employees, and is more willing to stay in dangerous places to protect the safety of "guests"!

In fact, the difference in cognition has a significant impact on everyone's career and life. The cognition level of the industry determines the upper limit of the individual/company. If you are interested, you can search for the experience of Cheetah Mobile CEO Fu Sheng; The difference in perceptions of things in life determines the frequency of family quarrels. Don’t say “the more you quarrel, the more you love” this kind of "nonsense". Each quarrel is equivalent to beating an existing crack. .

Raise awareness

Raising awareness is really a "huge" topic, so I will only briefly explain it here. Improving cognition means improving the level of information processing. As the name implies, it is necessary to increase the amount of information obtained and improve the ability of information processing. For us ordinary people, remembering these five words is enough to " read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, read countless people, give directions by famous teachers, and perceive diligently. " , Take the first step from increasing the amount of information obtained, and then have the opportunity to share some methodologies such as what to read, how to read...

Concluding remarks

Eleven years in the blink of an eye, the dead rest in peace, and the living are like this, just like the chef Hemant Oberoi believes that "the only way to recover from trauma is to continue living."

Raising awareness is of urgency!
