Blog assignment # 2

if there are no emotions, there should be no understanding or relationship between human beings or animals. In order to understand someone individual should situate his or her character in to the person's state or have such kind of feelings; therefore, that individual can understand him or her emotionally. in our daily lives there are many things we do which is related to emotions, all have to go through such obstacles, to courage them to overcome with their problems we understand them which means that there is a connection between humans called emotions. to prove this idea of emotions, "An Anthropologist on mars" by Oliver sacks, shows that even temple grandin, who is autistic, feels the pain of animals. I disagree that "human beings do not really need emotions to connect with other human beings or animals or to behave morally with a sense of right or wrong."
In "an anthropologist on mars" the author writes, "she knows several non-autistic people..who seem able to see what they need to do (sacks 14). this quote illustrates that she knows many people, who are non-autistic and they have the same way of thinking. she is capable enough to create relationship. they have a lot of common things in between, but as we know it is hard for autistic people to build up relationship with someone.if she doesn't have any kind of emotions, she should not be able to understand that they have a lot of common things. also her childhood friend tom who she was very close to, the author writes that "they had sexual feelings; they rarely succeeded in dating or having sexual relationships (sacks 15). of she doesn't have any kind of feeling for her friend, why would she say that they rarely succeeded dating each other? being autistic can't make her emotionless, it is different matter that it is hard for her to feel others or her own emotions.

 Invention of new technology is affecting human’s daily lives in a negative way. In the article written by Nicholas war, “is Google making us stupid,” he suggests us that use of internet is breaking our concentration of being focused. In contrast, a Steven pinker in, “how is the internet changing the way you think?” point out that internet is making humans lazy and humans depend on internet. Bases on these sources, I agree that, “the internet is damaging our attention spans and interfering with our ability to think.

In “is Google making us stupid,” Nicholas Carr writes, “and what the net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation (Carr 20). He suggests us that the internet is breaking our ability of being focused and thinking deeply. By writing this statement the author tells us that, how easily the word “NET” breaks our concentration.

Besides, Steven pinker writes, “also widely rumored are the students who cannot write a paper without instant message abbreviations, emoticons and dubious web citations” (Pinker 30). He tells us that students can’t write their papers without using the instant messaging, email etc. the web usage is distracting for every human being and the outcome of using web all the time might become big problem.

ENG101 blog post # 1

 

Hello bloggers, my name is mansi and this is my first semester at LaGuardia community college. My goal is to get 24 credits as liberal arts major and transfer to Queens College for pharmacy program. i am more interested in science than humanities that's why, I prefer my career as an pharmacists. Pharmacy is all about chemistry. Sometime it is hard for me to understand all the formulas and stuff but still i really am interested in chemistry so i am positive about pharmacy. Everybody have their own perspectives so there are people who are interested in scientific study and also there are people who are interested in psychological study. I chose this cluster because it is related to brains, minds and consciousness and i always been interested something related to psychology and even though my major would be pharmacy i still would like to take some classes related to psychology. I think that psychologists and humanists do have something meaningful to say because it is related to our daily lives and our minds. So it is important for us to know how our brain and body works.  It will help us understand ourselves and others and also it will change the way we think.

Richard Dawkins is more pessimistic in the reading of "The selfish Gene." His point of view is not clearly shown about altruism in humans. The example that he gives that, "It is easy to show....of sharing genes" (Dawkins 59); It shows that he is unhappy about humans being altruistic. In a simple way he is trying to say that one doesn't give up for another; if one doesn't gain anything from it. Olivia Judson is more optimistic in the reading of "The selfless gene." As her point of view all the human beings are not selfish. she writes that, "kin selection also.....or in other animals" (Judson 94); it shows that stepparents favor their own children, and than she uses "but" because all the human beings are not same. Just because stepparents favors their own kid doesn't prove that all the human beings are selfish. In 9/11 there were people who helped each other, not to achieve something from them. every human beings helps each other but it depends on situation. Dawkin's made me uncomfortable because he is trying to say that all the human beings think for their own which is not true. sometimes people get in to variable situation where they have to chose their own and sometimes sacrifice the favorite. Judson's idea is easier to understand where Dawkin's idea is not so clear.
