Throughout the years many high schools are beginning to drift their attention away from ElA programs and shifting it more toward STEM programs. STEM programs help with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. While, ELA programs help english and language arts. Through the years we have forgotten that both programs have an equal importance. No program should be above the other because the skills you need in one you learn from the other. Therefore I believe, that ELA programs and STEM…
a member of The FFA because I have a deep love for science, and want to do everything in my power to protect the environment through science and technology. I am a member of Upstanders which is a club that creates a consciousness and develops an ongoing atmosphere of positive behavior where negative bullying behavior will not be tolerated. I decided to be an active Up-stander member because we take on leadership roles, understand the importance of activating the bystander, and celebrating…
Lilian Cu Spindler English 1301 3 December 2015 Gender Inequality in STEM Fields Background It is no secret that girls and women are underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematic fields, even in this day and age. Even students agree with each other that girls should be more celebrated in these areas. For example, “In 1968, Caltech male students argued that nerds needed a civilizing female presence. At MIT, which had admitted women since the 1870s but treated them as…
I learned the importance of homework, projects, and gained a sense of belonging, how to apply what I learned, and mentor other STEM students through the painful amount of homework. All of the STEM students bonded like a beehive because you work together for one common cause, to graduate and go to college. At times, the course work was incredibly difficult, especially in my freshman year. Of course, most STEM students were stressed out including me. For example, in computer science no one in…
In the competitive world that we live in it is no surprise that education policy is in the forefront in all major producing countries of the world. Dr. Young Zhao, an author of many books on globalization and technology, uses his knowledge and background experiences within his book “Catching Up or Leading the Way: American Education in the Age of Globalization” to prove that America leads the way in innovative thinking, but must learn how to compete within a globalized world. Dr. Zhao uses…

Medical breakthroughs continue to save lives that otherwise would have been lost. Technology is eternally transforming. However, with improved technology, questions about ethics and morals have become more pressing. In Watters essay, The Mega Marketing of Depression in Japan, he explains the pharmaceutical companies attempt to change cultural ideas on…
The gist of the readings from this week put an emphasis innovation and changes in technology. For businesses this means either rise above and adapt to the changes or sink. Along with advancements in technology comes globalization, meaning companies must be willing to spread internationally and not just on a small scale. Personally, this means I need to put more emphasis in familiarizing and adapting to technology, such as coding and advanced mathematics. A degree from college is not enough to…
as they can impact cultural and scientific development. The importance of being scientifically literate is rising along with the advancements in science. The benefits of being scientifically literate for the individual and society are numerous, so much so that a lack of scientific literacy is detrimental and strikingly obvious. One such benefit is that by understanding basic scientific principles, one develops a level interest in science itself.…
Engineering is the field of sciences where applications of scientific subjects are used both theoretically and physically in order to innovate, design and construct new things for the betterment of the world. Engineering has been around since the 3rd century playing its role for the revolution of mankind and unlocking new doors to explore more. Technology’s main core element is engineering itself. Over the centuries that has passed through, the technologies that are invented are impacting in the…
could of been a ghost but also, he also could of been an illusion.What I enjoyed about this book was that this book , shows the development of science increasing technology.Its displays how science is trying to make technology more man-like.The setting of the book was in a time period where science was really starting to come in to play and take over technology , instead of religion.When I first started to read frankenstein I did not enjoy the book.It was not untill the monster started killing…
