When presented with this new knowledge we began to get a greater understanding of the world around us and how individuals have to be critical of the information they take in. It's important to begin to understand the…

The map was created in 1805, at the height of European colonization and exploration of Africa. Most explorers were not familiar with Africa’s landscape while undertaking these long…

Seeing Isn’t Believing Maps and literature are tied more closely than most people believe. A book guides a reader through a story, word by word, showing them the development of the authors work. Too often, maps are over looked for their seeming simplicity. People fail to see the research and story the cartographer has created, and in turn miss every step of the cartographer’s choice to exclude and include attributes and other such map features from the final projection. Every map tells a story,…

In the Journal of Med Ethics article, “QALYfying the Value of Life,” John Harris discusses the Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY). He explains the system’s purpose is to determine where to allocate healthcare in cases where there is not enough resources to provide for everyone. It is based on the assumption that most people would prefer a shorter life of higher quality than a longer life with higher suffering. Harris’s primary critique of the system is that it does not handle cases where deciding…
