Stream of consciousness

(DM), due to its limitless capacity and ability to integrate vast amounts of information; while the conscious mind has a limited capacity and is more subjectively driven by expectancies and schemas; lacking characteristics needed for optimal DM. Consciousness is defined as a mental state which surrounds awareness; with unconsciousness being a reasoning occurring while conscious attention is allocated elsewhere (Dijksterhuis & Nordgren, 2006). Two of the most popular studies in implicit DM have…

evidence that they do have minds. Therefore, the language test does not prove that animals are non-rational creatures or that they lack consciousness as Descartes suggests. The absence of speech, Descartes reasons, can only be explained in terms of animals lacking what speech expresses—thought. From this, he concludes that animals also lack all forms of consciousness, since, for Descartes, thought is the very object of conscious…

Just because! That’s the thought. Just because! That’s the reason. Just because! That’s the excuse for this privileged behavior. Those are the echoed statements of those who feel privilege enough to participate in this scheme to undermined, demoralize and constrain a group of people. When we take a step back and look at what we call "Systematic Institutional Racism" were speaking about people who cause or inflict judgment on a group of people just because of who they are. More specifically,…

Personality is a combination of a person’s continuous characteristics as he or she grows older. Different people have their own different personality. Everyone has different characteristics which contribute to their own unique personality. Psychologists Freud, Jung, and Skinner all had their own positions on the different aspects of personality. While I may choose one to be more credible than the others, I will also choose the one that will be of most value to me in my career. Sigmund Freud…

In the poem "I felt A Funeral In My Brain", there are many different ways to interpret the meaning of this poem. It can be assumed that the speaker is going through a very traumatic event in her life. The funeral going on in her head was very traumatic for the speaker, and she did not like it at all. The poem could be the metaphor for the traumatic event. It is also possible that the speaker just has a really bad headache and wanted to write about it. And it can be assumed the speaker was not…

Our minds and body correlate to each other and are the reason we can move and willingly do what we want. However, are our minds and body distinct? Can we even exist without a mind or without a body? Rene Descartes’ theory of “Mind-Body Dualism” discusses such philosophical questions and claims that although our mind and bodies are synced, they are not similar by way of division. Many questions remain on how “Mind-Body Dualism” works, many of which will be discussed in this paper, beginning with…

The Legendary Fall “About suffering they were never wrong,” Landscape with the fall of Icarus both the painting and poem displays a level of suffering that should not happen to anyone but, sadly it does. The painting gives you more of a visual approach as to what is happening and you can draw your own conclusion. This painting displays quite and unnoticed because it shows someone drowning and everyone else turning a blind eye. The poem on the other hand is clarifying what is happening in the…

XXVII: Identity and Diversity, John Locke begins by saying that we only have ideas of three substances which are God, finite intelligence, and bodies. John Locke then goes on to state that personal identity also has to to do with the the string of consciousness and has nothing to do with remaining the same substance or matter which is either physical or mental. John Locke states, “When we consider something as existing at a given time and place and compare it with itself existing at another…

reduce it to a merely moving-image beyond the constraints of cinema or provide the reader with an overview of key works that fall under the category . Nonetheless, it progressively seems to be associated with the expansion of space, extension of consciousness, immediacy of viewing or real time as well as is simultaneously utilised as a definition for experimental mixed-media works. It is generally accepted that the term was initially introduced in a manifesto ‘The Culture Intercom’ issued in…

Substance Dualism is a theory of mind that asserts the thesis that there exists the mind (nonphysical) and the body (physical) and that they are two distinct substances. Moreover, it identifies a being immediately with their mind and only secondarily with their body. Logical Behaviorism is branch of philosophical behaviorism. Behaviorism, essentially, is the thesis that mental states, if they exist, are identical to behavioral states. Logical Behaviorism posits that descriptions of mental states…
