To what extent and in what ways are people ?fixed? and ?open to change??

Charles Darwin is not only a pioneer of evolutionary psychology, but also today's contemporary life development theory is influenced by Darwin's thought. His functionalist view mainly focuses on the development of specific human characteristics of multiple generations and is therefore a very long time scale. However, inspiring from his son's developmental observation, Darwin also said, "Individuals are the result of the gradual order of previous changes, further development and change in the future in both broad evolutionary context and personal life "Ross, pages 50, 2003).

According to Carol Dweck's survey, people are in contact with the world in two different ways of fixation and growth. The fixed idea is the belief that our intelligence is a fixed function that does not move or change. Fixed thinking, failure provides evidence of our intellectual limit. In contrast, the growth thinking approach assumes that we grow and learn through failure and practice. In other words, you can extend your ability. Dweck explains this based on Now vs. Yet. In a fixed way of thinking we believe failure is a reflection of our current ability, and growth thinking is seeing failure as a sign of what our capabilities are not yet there. Let's say my math problem is wrong. If I have the mindset I made, I might consider this mistake as a sign that mathematics is not good, and I may avoid similar problems in the future. If my way of thinking is growing, I think that mathematics is a challenge. I may try to find the wrong thing about this subject.

Technology has changed us in other ways. In education, Carol Dweck has a dominant theory of a fixed and growing mindset. Some ambiguous ideas think intelligence is fixed, I am good at specialty and there is no motivation to challenge new things. They believe that intelligence is flexible and that you can learn anything. People who have a growing mindset have a better mechanism for dealing with failures and are more likely to succeed.

"Fixed thinking" means what you believe that you are born with a certain talent, ability, and wisdom - they are all immutable. Some people with a fixed mindset may find it difficult to experience the change and growth of life. As a result, people with a fixed mindset can not extend their skills and feel that they are depressed with giving up or distracting themselves if they do not get good results with their own eyes. People with a growing mindset start from various places. When you are thinking about growth, you will feel that yourself and others are more flexible, adaptable and hopeful. Deeply, you know the possibilities of growth and development. With the right motive, effort, moral compass, and concentration, you believe you can improve almost. People with a growing mindset can not tolerate failure on their own. This person tends to view failures as growth opportunities. If the path does not work, people try another path
