https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo J.D. Salinger gave Holden this profound statement long before Twitter and Instagram feeds. Is there truth to his statement and is it worse or better now? What are some things that ARE noticeable? In the spirit of Holden, take the time to notice something your classmate wrote and comment back. en-us 2017-11-17 17:00:18 UTC 2019-10-28 05:49:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228325 People don't notice anything that doesn't affect them. Most people are so wrapped up in their own life that they chose not to pay any attention to something that doesn't have an impact on them. Now, we notice little things about other people. We realize that a girl took a picture down of her and her boyfriend so they must be broken up. Or that someone missed a bunch of school days so they must be going through something bad. These, however, aren't real observations and it's each person pretending to care about something other than them.]]> 2017-12-01 12:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228325 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228418 Honestly, I know that people don't care or notice as much as they did before social media, but it is not right to blame social media for people's actions. Social media is an inventions that has&had a great potential, however have never used it for truly good things. I think, the reason behind why people started to notice less with the social media is because they wouldn't care even before the social media. Social media have just showed us that how much people don't really care. ]]> 2017-12-01 12:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228418 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228457 It is definitely better now that social media brings awareness to many controversies, but most people are still not aware of other horrible things that go on in other countries. Most people also choose not to notice things and ignore them. Some things that are noticeable would be things that get to be on big news channels.]]> 2017-12-01 12:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228457 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228458 There is truth to this statement because most people are so obsessed with themselves that they never really care to look and notice other things. I think that it is even worse now because people can be so involved in themselves that they never have time to notice anything else that goes on in their life or the lives of others. Some things that are noticeable are disasters or bad things that happen that are broadcast worldwide so everyone hears about them. But still people often do not notice the true motives or many details that were involved and they make assumptions without noticing the facts. ]]> 2017-12-01 12:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228458 sjohnson610 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228471 This statement is true because unless something is brought to a persons attention then they will notice it. Sometimes people are more focused on themselves or what they are doing than the world around them. This is seen especially when people are on their phones and oblivious to their surroundings. Today, many people are on their phones while they are walking and are not able to lives their life's to the fullest because they are glued to your phone. ]]> 2017-12-01 12:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228471 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228530 The statement seems very true, this could show how people won't really notice if someone is sad or depressed, unless that person makes it a statement. But things that are considered taboo are always noticed]]> 2017-12-01 12:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228530 jakharwa https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228575 I agree with him but disagree too. It depends on the person. Not everyone is the same. But we don't usually pay attention to people like before and so we only are able to catch what we see on the outside and what the person wants us to see.]]> 2017-12-01 12:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228575 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228616 I’d say there is definitely some truth to this statement. People are so caught up in their own lives/mishaps that they let the people around that pass by or go unnoticed. The reason I used the word some, is because sometimes you do notice things going on in relation to the people around you but even then they’re easy to forget. This is not necessarily a completely bad thing, it’s okay to get caught up in your own life especially in adolescence, but I think it impacts us positively if we stop and take a look at (or notice) what’s occuring around us. ]]> 2017-12-01 12:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228616 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228649 I think that this statement has a lot of truth to it. Most people only care about the things that affect themselves. And they never pay attention to anything that might not affect them. It’s the same thing where today a lot of people never speak up about bullying as a bystander because they think that what is happening has nothing to do with them. ]]> 2017-12-01 12:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228649 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228674 i think there is some truth to this because people don't really pay attention to anything else but themselves nowadays  but in the end to me it depends on the p]]> 2017-12-01 12:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228674 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228683 I assume Holden means people don't notice things around them that can be a problem for them. I think the case is people notice things but most do not act or take in]]> 2017-12-01 12:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228683 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228686 There is truth to this statement because some people don't pay attention to anything but themselves and don't really know what is going on in the rest of the world. I think it is worse now because people are very caught up in their phones. Even though technology lets us connect with the rest of the world, this makes people not notice what is happening around them. People now notice things today that are not important like what celebrities are doing etc. ]]> 2017-12-01 12:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228686 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228687 There is definitely truth to this statement because I can remember times when I haven't noticed something about someone. It is worse now because everyones using their phones or not paying attention or they just worry about themselves. Some things that would be noticeable is if someone got injured, if they got arrested, or if they moved.]]> 2017-12-01 12:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228687 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228820 There is truth in this statement because everybody is always focused on what's going on with themselves they never notice what's around them. ]]> 2017-12-01 12:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228820 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228823 people do notice stuff every day I think is is wrong ]]> 2017-12-01 12:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228823 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228866 There is at least some truth to Holden's statement. There are people in this world who put their energy into being "oblivious" to the world around them, doing it consciously and not. But there are also those who have that eye. The so-called talent to read others like a book. These are the people that Holden wishes he could be. His remark comes from anger and jealousy. So while there is truth to his statement, there is also a desire for it to be false.]]> 2017-12-01 12:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228866 nmfuterfas https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228937 This statement seems to have become more accurate over time. People are more concerned about themselves to notice others. It seems harder to notice and pay attention because of technology and people would rather only pay attention to celebrities than actual people around them.]]> 2017-12-01 12:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212228937 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212229181 I agree that there is some truth to this.

If there are minor details of something that don't support someone's viewpoints, they may not even acknowledge those details. Sometimes, if something bad is happening, people may not notice until too late, and that can lead to worse things that could have been mitigated. Some things that are noticeable are events that are talked about to the point where discussion of them is unavoidable. However, I think there is more awareness of the news now, so it has gotten slightly better.]]> 2017-12-01 12:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212229321 sjohnson610 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212229466 2017-12-01 12:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212229466 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212229749 People are so concerned about themselves they don't take the time to notice anything else. Our observations are irrelevant and they aren't always true. So yes, I agree with what Holden said. People should be more open to observation and take the time to notice something important.]]> 2017-12-01 12:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212229749 https://padlet.com/shill13/tr6ip1bsqxfo/wish/212230001 When talking about not noticing things, is it just me or are there some times where you just notice something that you have never heard before, and then all of a sudden you hear people talking about it somewhere else.

I feel people more easily notice things and events that pertain to them directly, and the more distant something is the less one would care about it.

I don't think this is a bad thing, most of the time it's good because this means people aren't in each others' business.
