Affective science

The world is continually bombarded with snippets of new technological advancements. These gadgets play an enormous role in the daily lives of many people universally. There is no doubt that society has become engulfed in the phenomenon known as the smartphone. Actions such as surfing the web, texting family and friends, tweeting, posting, sharing, liking, and many more have become a habitual routine for most.

“Every new invention throughout history has given rise to concerns about the potential for bringing about disorder and even ruin. But ultimately . . . it is how we use the tools, especially for young people who have never been without them, that will make the difference between success or failure (Szumski, Karson).” Over the past few decades technology has grown to be more advanced and easily obtainable. This shift has lead to the question of whether the impact this technology has on society is…

information. Not only monks and the commoners, but also monarchs like Louis XIV showed appreciation for the sciences. A drawing illustrated during 1671 captured Louis XIV’s visit to the French Royal Academy, which showed a room filled with observers around scientific equipment like a skeletons, a map, and a globe, (Doc 7). The illustration implied that Louis XIV supported the study of sciences by visiting one of the academies. With assistance from powerful and wealthy monarchs, scientists were…

Have you ever read where they test the products you use everyday? You may be surprised with what you find and may even stop using the product entirely. For the a modern world we live in we should try a new way to test products we use.

While it is not often true that magazine and mass media writers get the essence of a scientific study correct in their entertainment based interpretations, Alice Park of TIME magazine did just that in her article “Feeling Alone Together: How Loneliness Spreads” when interpreting and portraying the research done by John T. Cacioppo et al in their research “Alone in the Crowd: The Structure and Spread of Loneliness in a Large Social Network.” The overall flow of Park’s article is consistent with…

people hold incorrect beliefs that women do not belong in the fields of math or science, but these outdated views are changing. In Jacoby’s essay, “When Bright Girls Decide That Math Is ‘a Waste of Time’ Jacoby states, “many girls eliminate themselves…because of the traditional belief that math and science are ‘masculine’ subjects” (Jacoby 266). At Fieldcrest, all of the math courses are taught by women and the science teacher ratio of women to men is 2:1. This…

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed. It also involves the properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change. Chemistry is important to life. The environment is composed of many chemicals without identification of chemicals we wouldn’t know what chemicals are safe to have around or which chemicals are harmful and dangerous to our bodies. To answer the enduring question, how do we gain knowledge to…

For me, the comparison of these two important eras in literature is most profound in their treatment and the reflection through science and nature. The authors of the former were influenced by the industrial revolution and the great prosperity of the time. People were often related to nature. The latter was forced to wrestle with greater social conflict and, what was at the time, the war to end all wars. There lacked the volume in examples of nature as a theme but it did exist. Alfred, Lord…

Pendick urged there were only three men; one men drowned attempting to be a part of their group. After a few days of not being able to stand the starvation and thirst, Helmar, thought of a plan but Prendick did not agree until the next day. A fight starts between the two other men, and Prendick tries to help Helmar, then both men fell overboard leaving Prendick all alone. After two…
