Close Reading of "Project Classroom Makeover"."Project Classroom Makeover" Close Reading.Steven Johnson's The Myth of the Ant Queen, Key Te.Search for Shared References within The Ecstasy of."The Ecstasy of Influence: A Plagiarism"."The Ecstasy of Influence: a Plagiarism".He goes into the idea that individuals flock to where they fit in and feel comfortable. Johnson focuses more on organisms in society and the world. The two texts contain similar ideas about the importance of collaboration and collective learning. Schools were meant to prepare the youth to work so the education system emerged into a very rigid curriculum with little room for creativity. That is why the early education system was methodical and almost assembly line like. The education system emerged as an efficient way to churn out more factory workers. Additionally, Davidson discussed the past of the education system which is also largely linked to emergence. There was no plan for the iPod experiment, Duke let the students take it in the directions they wanted. I immediately remembered the iPod experiment and all that emerged from it. This idea suggests that one act by an individual can set the road for a pattern to emerge even though there was no plan of this pattern to develop.Įmergence can also be applied to the essay from last week. As Johnson says on page 199, "larger patterns can emerge out of uncoordinated local actions". For example, Manchester is a highly segregated city simply because that is how the city was developed. Johnson goes on to discuss human cities and "the mix of order and anarchy" (Johnson 198) Emergent behavior suggests that things will just happen because of the way the community was set up. emergent intelligence is vital in self-organizing systems, like ant colonies. Each ant has a job and they all come together to form a cohesive, functioning population. Order and patterns emerge from ant colonies because they collectively function together. Contrary to popular belief, ant colonies have no authority system and the ant queen does nothing more than have all of the ant offspring. Next, he uses the word to discuss ant colonies and their decentralized behavior. All together a society emerges within the school setting. Each student has particular roles, tasks, goals, and purposes. He states that she is "a particular kind of emergent, self organizing system" (Johnson 194) Students together are part of a self-organizing system. Johnson first mentions emergence in reference to Deborah Gordon, a student at Stanford. In the essay "The Myth of the Ant Queen" by Steven Johnson, I noticed the idea of emergence several times throughout.
