in Time and The Question Concerning Technology, he explores the idea of what it means “to be”, giving priority to human experience (as we serve as the only entity that has prior knowledge of “Being”). However, with advancements in technology and science incentivizing us to live inauthentically, the world we’ve come to know has exchanged truth for efficiency. However, before beginning to explain what Heidegger means whenever he’s referring to the concept of dasein, we…
One of the key tenets of transcendentalism states that, in so many words, technology is wrong and the advancement of such devices only serve to create problems. While this may be true in some respects, history has shown to the contrary. From inventions to make farming more efficient to creating a phone that does everything with a tap from your finger, technology has transformed the way the world works for the better. Technology, despite its negative consequences, has led to many important…
learn more physics in order to get a better understanding of how and why the world works the way it does. The property owner related many concepts of horseback riding and ranch work with physics-related ideas so that I could relate them to a science-based mindset. He showed me how using leverage would give me more control over horses that are much stronger than me. We laid down thousands of feet of PVC pipe for water lines to run throughout the property, which included a slope so that we…
In the excerpt from Ed Yong’s book I Contain Multitudes, he artistically argues the importance of studying microbiomes, in relation to other scientific disciplines. To craft his argument, he uses analogies to show the likeness between the Earth’s ecosystems and human internal body functions, personifies small organisms to evoke compassion from the reader, and utilizes the personal pronoun “we” to create a sense of social cohesion. The study of microbes is often neglected due to the apparent…
to the discovery of it. It wasn’t just one person. Like Isaac Newton, a very influential scientist, and indeed is the creator of Newton’s law. He made a big contribution to what we learn in school today. Although he is a very important part of history, he’s not the only one who made a difference in it. Carl Friedrich Gauss was one of the greatest math mathematicians in the…

are taught, it is a quality you are born with. I agree with this quote because imagination provides you you with an unlimited number of opportunities. In school students sit at desk and memorize historical dates, mathematical equations, and science facts, but could there be a better way to learn information. Many schools do not require students to “think outside the box,” or to think creatively. Teachers grade students based on whether or not they got the correct answer, but they should…
The Superstitious Science of Shamans: Traditional Spirituality in South Korea Religion is an integral aspect of human life, but as one examines the different cultural, geographic, and social influences found among the varying peoples of the Earth, it becomes clear that it is not a uniform one. Humans have always sought to find the key that unlocks the secret of our very existence, and each civilization has formed its own narrative regarding the forces that rule and create life. We attempt to…

The Skidi Pawnee were Indians that knew a lot about the astronomy of stars and connected them with their beliefs and lifestyle. The Pawnee was a Native American tribe that lived in Nebraska whom were considered one of the best sky watchers. The Indians regarded the stars as gods. They worshipped a star, The North Star, as a creator god. Whereas, for the South Star, they feared it…
. Reflecting on the article, I think of a perfect society, that wants hurry children to get independent and think like little robot. Technology is taking place of relationships, play, and nature.

I believe that the child should interact with other children, be happy for the most part, and learn and acquire skills in all the…
