Medical Information and the Internet

Submitted by smaley on Thu, 12/16/2010 - 11:14am

With the age of information technology upon us, the methods people use to search for information is drastically changing. One of the most influential causes of this change has been the Internet. Information that has historically been difficult to access, or was only accessible to certain individuals, is now available to the general public in a matter of seconds. While the benefits and consequences of the Internet have been widespread, one sector that has been significantly impacted is health care, thanks to newly available medical information.

Evolving Systems

Our brain is amazingly complex. It is complicated not only in its biological way, but more importantly, in how it helps us to think, to understand the world and to construct reality. We shape our brains to form distinctive subjective reality with the help of five senses. Our self experience of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching brings us lively perception. We also construct the brain by dream and illusion, discovering what we can’t feel in solid sense.

The Future of Cultural Change is Future Cultural Change

Human culture is in constant motion. Human beings seem to have a long history of forward thinking. Because of this, cultural change has been taking place constantly from the beginning of culture. More specifically, the fight for equality for various oppressed groups of society have fought or been fought for since inequalities existed. More recently, the fight for animal rights has been a priority in many minds. As has happened in the past, animals will one day lay claim to some form of official documentation of rights.

Presentation Reflection

Non-Fictional Prose Course

For my final presentation in Nonfiction Prose I compiled all the individual posts of each member of the class, assigned each person a color, and arranged the posts chronologically. The result was 55,644 words and almost 112 pages, 12 point font. Assigning each person a color allows the viewer to notice the posting habits of each member of the class, and how we behaved as a whole. For instance, most members of the class posted in clusters, i.e. make a post, respond to another member of the class. There were several members of the class who posted regularly and their colors dominate. It is interesting to contrast the members of class who dominated the online forum and class room, they were rarely the same people.

Non-Fictional Prose Web Paper 4

Throughout this course, we have explored the difficulties of categorizing literature as fiction or non-fiction. Because all literature is bound to be biased and because categorization as “non-fiction” implies truthfulness and factuality, no work of literature can be categorized as “non-fiction” with any definitiveness.
