“Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."
Never before in history have people been so bet with the overflow of ideas and images that the modern human must endure. We are constantly bombarded with news, advertising, and entertainment, so much so that we are often at a loss as to where we should focus our attention. This has lead to what many media critics have called "information anxiety," a term ud to discribe the paralysis the ordinary human experiences when attempting to organize and synthesize the vast amounts of data that move past her everyday. Now, more than ever before, it can be en that wisdom truly is attributable to tho "who know what to overlook."
The Internet is a good example of the effects of information overload on people. Many pe
ople recieve hundreds of email messages a day, yet there is no possible way for them to respond, let alone read, all of the messages. Through practice they learn to pick out what will be of interest and to ignore the rest. A similar phenomena occurs when a person is "browising the web." Information, both trivial and profound, float by in a disorganized way. A person learns to ignore what is not relevant to their arch. This is easily demonstrated by watching a person new to the Internet next to someone who is a veteran of the net. The new person will stumble on loads of irrelevant information while the veteran will most likely proceed to the information she eks. This ability to overlook uless information is not only applicable to the net; consider the older but more established form of information known as the book.
It is only through experience that one understands how to overlook uless data. This is most likely what the author of the above quote meant.
Comments:
This respon prents a well-developed analysis of the issue.
Beginning with a strong description of the current state of information overload, the first paragraph provides a context for the issue and takes a clear position agreeing with the stated claim. The Internet example is well chon and well developed, clearly supporting the point that wisdom involves learning to ignore what is not relevant. The reference to books reinforces this position but does little to advance the argument or add insightful analysis. The conclusion restates an earlier point, adding little to the analysis.
Despite a few instances of impreci reference (e.g., "this has" and "all this knowledge"), the argument is prented clearly and coherently, meriting a score of 5. To earn a higher score, the respon would need to develop a more thoughtful analysis of the issue.

"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."
I disagree with the opinion expresd above, in that I feel that the statement is omitting a very big part of what learning is all about. I firmly believe that wisdom is gained by careful obrvation of all that is around us in our lives. We gain a great deal by watching tho around us, or by obrving our surroundings, as well as watching the asmbly of an object. All my life, I have learned a great deal by being very obrvant of people and their reactions to certain situations, or to procedures that are to be followed. Being obrvant has helped tremendously in travelling as well, since it has helped me recall certain landmarks to know if I am going in the correct direction. It is true that if we pay too much attention to insignificant detail, we clutter our minds with too much that is unnecesssary. Instead, we should have more time to devote our attention to that which is meaningful. In the field of science, we teach our students to be obrvant, and to look for specific reactions. If they don't learn to watch cloly and record their data precily, their results will be less than adequate, and their data will most likely not be very accurate or dependable. The statement above has merit, but it does not reprent widsom in its entirety. It doesn't do justice to the great amount of learning that thas taken place through
the ages through simple obrvation. Our forefathers survived by learning and knowing what to look for. That information was then pasd on, so each successive generation didn't have to gather the same basic knowledge, but could build on what had already been learned. As a society, we need to lean on tho who come before us, to learn valuable lessons from their experience, and to decipher that which we can improve on and that which is steadfast through the ages.
Comments:
This respon prents a competent analysis of the issue, taking a position contrary to that expresd in the prompt, at least initially.
After stating the importance of "careful obrvation of all that is around us," the respon prents reasons and examples to support that position. The examples are clear and relevant, although the analysis is fairly brief. Also, the organization and focus of the respon weakens a little, especially as the writer interrupts the group of examples with a statement that "if we pay too much attention to insignificant detail, we will clutter ou
r minds with too much that is unnecessary." This statement modifies -- and weakens -- the initial position, which the writer believed "firmly."
The writer抯 ideas are conveyed with reasonable clarity, but -- as is evident in the closing ntence -- this respon lacks the skillful u of ntence structure and vocabulary that communicate meaning in respons that typically earn higher scores.

"Wisdom is rightfully attributed not to people who know what to look for in life but to people who know what to overlook."
I believe this statement is how you look at a glass of water. Either the glass is half full or it is half empty. The opptimist would look for things in life, whereas the pessimist would try to aviod things in life. This summary will explain how looking for things in life better than overlooking a persons involvement in new opportunities and to learn from the new experiences.
I am strong believer in hands on experiences. If I have a open mind, try new things, and look for new answers to my questions about life, I will in the end gain wisdom becau I have experienced many new situations. I plan on becoming a speech language pathologist in the future. In this field I will be dealing with clients who may have a disorder, such as autism or a cognitive delay. I must be aware of the red flags that identify the disorders. I must look for the obvious symptoms before I can overlook anything. If I would in my mind tell my lf to overlook things. The result would be detrimental to my career and the individual I am treating.
