The Sixth Sense

Question 1: The window of opportunity to capture the attention of a consumer and sustain it long enough to send the “intended” message via social media online is a great challenge most marketers face today. It is how marketers use stimuli or a combination of stimuli to differentiate themselves and stand out from the competition. The stimuli marketers use to help cut through noise and convey their message comprises of touch, sight, taste, smell and hearing. It is a combination of the…

created the Cartesian plane and is the author of “Meditations.” In “Meditations,” he mentioned his goal was to want certain knowledge to be firm and lasting, or undoubtable as he explained there are already many things that are deceiving us such as sense data (e.g. optical illusions) and dreams. Thus, he suggested that everyone should doubt old beliefs, old habits, seemingly obvious truths such as 2+3=5, and anything that has deceived people once by doubting the foundational beliefs and by…

Senses are a vital necessity in human life. Senses consist of sight, sounds, smell, tastes, and texture. A main function of the senses is to maintain homeostasis. There are two senses; general and special. “General senses are those with receptors widely distributed throughout the body, including skin, various organs and joints” ( ,Pg. 444). “Special senses have more specialized receptors and are confined to structure in the head, such as eyes and ears”( ,Pg.444). Over time, scientists…

enjoyed looking at all the materials involved in her photo. The small area on the right side of the image where the plant is positioned balanced the large and seems an empty space of the horizon. The reflection of the sun to the rocks depicts a strong sense of movement. The vertical lines from the wood suggests stability and tallness and may give the impression of unbending principles of the artist. The proportion used from the position of the rocks, the horizon, the table and the plant provides…

A Positive Vs Negative Person Mahatma Gandhi famously proclaimed that “A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes”. How a person perceives themselves signifies their character, behavior and attitude towards others and perceptions about life. In this paper, the differences between positive and negative people is looked at according to their approach to failure, their perception of task or job assigned to them, perceptions about success, how they conduct themselves and…

environment around us and found some interesting aspect that stood out to me. Observing while spending time socialize is anything from easy as I felt the pull of my companions need to distract me at every turn but I pushed forward and tried to use all my sense in order to enjoy every aspect of all these activities to relish the benefit of the world around me. It’s quite interesting the things one observes…

The confinement of this shot paper is to discuss the reflected appraisals and their influence on my self-concept. Essentially I must list five words that describe myself along with people who have been and are especially significant in my life. Once narrowing down the participants I ask them how I am perceived and what traits ties in with my personality. Once the controlled experiment is conducted the goal is to assess the results and trace how I see myself to the appraisals reflected by the…

The strongest argument that Descartes presents is the idea that our senses cannot be trusted as the world around us and everything we experience is a constructed illusion. In this paper, I will argue that this argument can be seen as sound as our senses can not be trusted because they are unreliable. In “Meditation I: What Can be Called Into Doubt” Descartes explains to us that the information we are receiving through our senses isn’t inherently accurate. He threw out all the previous…

This response numbs the organism, deadening the senses and repressing memory. Buck-Morss gives, thus, a significant role to memory as a way to be able to really perceive external stimulus. As memory becomes key for the perception of present experience, present trauma creates a constant-past experience…

doubt his opinions, he will. He does this since it is impossible to questions every single opinion. Furthermore, Descartes decided to pick apart his foundations from his sense first. Descartes first questions if the senses can be doubted. Descartes suggests that the majority of his initial truths came from or through his senses. However, Descartes…
