“…Edna Kerr. (as cited by Carnegie, 1990) Each of the programs described in this paper contribute to a bricolage of outreach programs. Each program has refocused student perceptions of computing careers and in doing so positioned computing as a career option in the minds of the participants.…”

There is a need for outreach programs to attract a diverse range of students to the computing discipline. The lack of qualified computing graduates to fill the growing number of computing vacancies is of concern to government and industry and there are few female students entering the computing pipeline at high school level. This paper presents three outreach programs that have the underlying assumption that students need to be reminded about the creativity and potential of computing so that it remains on the radar of their future career options. Each program instigated social and cultural change through a paradigm shift where girls moved from being ICT consumers to ICT creators. By exposing students to a wide variety of ICT activities and careers during secondary schooling, they were more likely to consider studying information systems, computer science or any other computing course at the university level. Results are presented showing student attitudinal changes as well as observed increases in enrolments at secondary school and university courses.

“…According to Brinton, the victimized populace continues to suffer because they fail to appreciate the happier aspects of life; “Half of happiness is the recognition that we are happy; and half of misery is the forgetting how many causes of happiness we have.” he writes. [ 10 ] Carnegie shares similar views in his work, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, where he declares that, “The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not.”[ 11 ] Carnegie not only offers solutions to break the worry habit but also suggests measures to conquer worry situations altogether, from his own experiences and realizations. In the wake of inevitable cataclysmic occurrences, there is a compelling necessity to address the impact of trauma on common people by annihilating ignorance in relation to emotional sustenance.…”

BACKGROUND: Cataclysm refers to a large-scale and violent event involving disaster, catastrophe, calamity, and tragedy. The recent surge of a pandemic (coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)), humanitarian crisis in Sudan, civil unrest, and war, such as the attacks in Syria and Ukraine, reiterate the need to address the trauma attached to such catastrophes. This study focuses on adapting positive psychology, one of the newest branches of psychology to emerge, to help human beings prosper and lead healthy, happy lives. It also explores post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and means to overcome traumatizing psychological dejection caused by such mishaps. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Demoralization is the immediate effect caused on victims and survivors of such devastations. A comprehensive study of cataclysm and demoralization is concomitant with the suffering produced by various factors pertaining to mass annihilation. A deductive methodology is incorporated into the qualitative data to analyze the oral testimonies of war and disaster survivors in Svetlana Alexievich’s works titled Zinky Boys: Soviet Voices from the Afghanistan War, Second Hand Time, The Unwomanly Face of War and Chernobyl Prayer. RESULTS: Interpretation of the polyphonic voices in the oral sagas of interviewees in Alexievich’s works reveals an increased level of anxiety, stress, and trauma post-catastrophic events. CONCLUSION: The implementation of positive psychology has been identified as an appropriate psychological intervention to address the issues related to psychological devastation.

“…Premièrement, 17 des 19 citations relatives à cette croyance présentées dans le tableau 1, proviennent d'ouvrages de « pop » psychologie reliés au courant du paranormal en général et à la pensée positive en particulier (Adetumbi, 1992;Belliston & Mayfield, 1983 ;Buzan, 1984;Byrne, 2007;Carnegie, 1944;Clark, 1997;Geller & Struthers, 1996;Hubbard, 1950Hubbard, /1988Jalbert, 2003;Lewis, 1962;Montgomery, 1979;Ostrander, Schroeder, & Ostrander 1979;Pawels & Bergier, 1966;Rose, 1987;Russell, 1979;Thomas, 1937;Winter & Winter, 1990;Witt, 1983). Il est évident que de tels ouvrages se vendent mieux que les titres de vulgarisation scientifique, comme en fait foi l'étude menée par l'un de nous dans 56 librairies québécoises : les ouvrages consacrés aux pseudo-sciences et au paranormal occupent 90 % de l'espace, ne laissant qu'un maigre 10 % aux ouvrages de vulgarisation scientifique (Larivée, 2002).…”

“…Vérification faite, on n'y trouve aucune allusion à la sous-utilisation du cerveau (Beyerstein, 1999). Le deuxième écrit, plus problématique, fait référence à la citation de Carnegie (1944) (voir tableau 1). Celle-ci aurait été mentionnée par James lors d'une conférence tenue en 1906 à l'American Philosophical Association sous le titre de Energies of Men.…”

Ce texte examine la croyance largement répandue selon laquelle les humains n’utiliseraient que 10 % de leur cerveau. Le texte comprend quatre parties. Les deux premières parties évaluent l’ampleur du « mythe du 10 % » et en retracent les origines. La troisième partie montre que cette croyance n’est nullement justifiée en passant successivement en revue les connaissances concernant l’anatomie et la physiologie du cerveau, la plasticité cérébrale ainsi que des données sur l’évolution. La dernière partie évoque quelques raisons de la persistance du mythe du 10 %.
