time has directionality, or the appearance of directionality fabricated by the human mind. Against all odds, complex human beings evolved in the face of expanding entropy, but with the inception of self-awareness humans were bound to think about life’s antithesis—the unavoidable, looming presence of death. For the duration of human life, one’s corporeal self is trapped in the present, simply existing, while one’s mind is able to wonder through a reconstructed past and anticipate the future due…
conscious which is why there is something we called " the soul" and this soul is proved to be located in the pineal gland because of the all emotional experiences human beings go through. Descartes says that soul is the principle of thought, with this in mind we know that our thought comes from nothing but the brain. Since the gland is our trigger to sensation it forms all sorts of experiences which is how we show facial expressions. The brain alone cannot do all the work within the body which…
As a term, expanded cinema generally refers to cinematic exhibition or spectacle in which the concept of established filmic practice and structure is broadened by incorporating immersive and dynamic elements as opposed to single-screen viewing experience. ‘Expanded’ components may be evident in the materiality of the spectacle, such as in the employment of numerous surfaces for a screening, juxtaposition of various interdisciplinary mediums not restricted to cinema, immersion of the viewer and…
They won’t be able to create an ideal thinking of their own and creativity. Having literature is part of a growing children 's minds and to explore. It is not meant to get rid of just because of the cynical influences and controversial issues in the books. Since many parents want to ban books because they are afraid that their children will unethically impact a child’s mind. “A parent of a Knightstown (Indiana) High School junior has determined that A Child Called “It”: One Child’s Courage to…
As a child, I had an insatiable curiosity and was always brimming with questions. Where did the dinosaurs go? Why is that man homeless? Where do babies come from? And my parents would always patiently listen and conjure up a quick and simple answer. Growing up I came to realize that some of these answers that my parents had given me weren 't always entirely correct or even necessarily true at all. But they would set a very important precedent in my life. What 's even more interesting; however,…
Dr. Dewett provided many key ideas that we often forget or need to be reminded of as we go through our careers. It was very rewarding to hear ideas that each of us have within our control, that we just need to draw from to make ourselves better leaders and to help others become better leaders. The primary idea for me was that of authenticity. In our corporate culture, authenticity tends to be diluted. Authenticity is more than being a professional because people what to know who we are as a…
(2008, p. 149) as screens become more portable, people will read more, play more and learn more. This represents an utopian dream of perfection with the core vision assuming that there is a malleability of human nature with the consequence of human minds soaring upwards (Baulerlein 2008, p. 149). The human art of thinking includes the ability to be able to make one’s own meaning out of one’s culture. Being a competent media literate human entails the ability to cope with the comprehension,…
When comparing the concepts from The Matrix to the ideology in the excerpts by Plato and Descartes a common theme is the realization that the world is all a sensory illusion by which an elaborate system of deception can perpetrate individuals to a common belief or perception. One of the main points that is shared between the excerpt by Plato/Descartes and the synopsis of The Matrix is that everything around us is perceived through our senses. Yet, because each individual perceives the world in a…
metacognitive journey. A week before we had started the class, we were asked to think about what we thought was development and bring in a picture that visualized our thought processes. After that first day, we then went on to create various mind maps. Mind maps forced us to visualize and condense their thinking into a simple to navigate and read image. Through discussions and class activities, our knowledge about development has grown, altered and adapted to match the new knowledge we’ve…
