In Our Time

Do you ever feel like you are addicted to texting or Instagram or Twitter? In a recent study 84% of people admitted that they can’t go a day without their phone. This is because every time you get a notification, you get a little dopamine release. Dopamine, although thought to control the “pleasure” systems of the brain, actually causes you to want, seek out, and each. Dopamine’s increasing in arousal and motivation to search for information is vital from an evolutionary standpoint to move…

enjoyed the entire process although there were many ups and downs along the way. When we first got informed about the project, we were all lost and had completely no idea what to do. The leader immediately organized our first meeting to get everyone started with the project. We gave roles in our group and I ensured that they know what their responsibility are. I find what I did well was being able to communicate effectively with my teammates to achieve better efficiency and teamwork. I send…

In this fast moving world, we have lost our internal affiliation. Reliability is a fight. Everyone is fighting for some position. There is no time for your self. Throughout the day we lose energies dealing with our daily problems. Life is going away from us because of this. Society is looking around for real life, and searching for a solution to their stressful life. There is a new mechanism we can implemente in our life. It is called, ‘Mindfulness’. Mindfulness is a condition of dynamic, open…

With regards to the moral stance of monogamy, homicide, theft etc, we are very much divided again. Within the Nuer tribe, who follow the spiritual essence of the totem, polygamy is very much accepted, often identified as natural. Whereas, within more traditional religious cultures, it is thought of as sinful and intrinsically wrong. Additionally, many societies would see the killing of another human being as inherently wrong, something which could be ascribed as an absolute universal truth.…

and time upon which we have strung the world. They have no reality outside of the true mystery that is the consciousness that has created them. Zeno’s Paradox and the Quantum Revolution The full implications of the quantum revolution have not really sufficiently penetrated our classical understanding of the world. Einstein’s development of “spacetime” perpetuates the classical problem of proposing an absolute reality independent of the reality that creates it. Biocentrism reveals the ways that…

to process my emotions and make sense of this loss. However, as I reflect back on our relationship, compatibility and the core of what made us, “us,” I find myself unable to accept this abrupt conclusion. This is how I interpret the foundation of our relationship when it is broken down into the three components we spoke of: Our physical intimacy/passion is undeniably strong in, almost, every way. This includes; our sex lives (attraction and desire for each other), the activities we do…

didn’t understand the concept of an immigrant family and that our resources were very limited. It wasn’t until I got older, that I finally understood and recognized the struggle that my family went and still continues to go through. My realization began when I was about 11-years old and I noticed that my father not only worked for his own small gardening service, but that he also took my older brothers to work with him. I knew it was a time for serious measures because my brothers started…

he has all that he needs when the time comes. In the book The Crisis of Liberal Democracy: A Straussian Perspective by Kenneth Deutsch he says, “On ground of security for the prince’s reign; prudent self-restraint with no respect to robbing one’s own citizens is simply sound assurance” (Deutsch 143). The author of this book is showing the other side of the story that Machiavelli did not mention. Deutsch argues against…
