Humans are famous for their developed brains, capable of thinking, or rather, overthinking. It is amazing how many thoughts we can think daily, and how billions of neurons lead to those thought processes. Computers can do a lot of things humans can, and at times perform better than humans ever could, but getting computers to think the way humans do is still a hurdle for the time being. However, due to their capabilities, sometimes the definition of 'thinking' for computers...

For those who celebrate, they would probably describe the Christmas Spirit as the feeling of joy and merriment and for some it may also have tangible associations such as gifts, holiday related scents, family, and a lot of good food. When asking people where Christmas Spirit comes from, some people and movie adaptations such as ‘A Christmas Carol’ would answer that it comes from the heart. However, like love the Christmas Spirit stems from neurochemical reaction, which means it is...

Could positron emission tomography scans allow for the prediction of a crime before it has been committed? Could individuals be incarcerated based on their hereditary? Studies are emerging that support the idea of criminology being associated with nature rather than nurture. A study by Hiatt and Newman has found that violent criminal behaviour is attributed to the prolonged interhemispheric transfer time among psychopathic offenders. Another analysis by Tiihonen and colleagues has found that the genetic background of the offenders heavily...

The memory is a complicated subject, and the constantly changing memory causes many different effects that can harm or hurt someone. The research regarding storing and retrieving memories of the brain’s information is valid because studies show that when remembering events from the past, the brain will take things relevant to the past memory to help you recall it. Also, memories are what make or define a person, and getting older can cause memory loss and cause injury to said...

In this paper, I want to explore if these negative effects occur outside of our control through aging, or if they are largely preventable and treatable through one’s diet. The brain is a very power...

Natalie Portman starred in “Black Swan” released into theaters in 2010. Although it was filmed nearly 10 years ago the storyline is still a disturbing yet beautiful film many still watch today. After reviewing this film I have come to argue the point that this film is the story of how losing one’s self is the price to pay for perfection. There have been many tales with this similar plot, yet in Black Swan, it seems so much more externalized....

The late 1980s and early 1990s were interesting times for America’s economy. Under President Ronald Reagan, a much larger emphasis was put on American capitalism. Taxes were dramatically cut, industries were deregulated, and GDP rose to an all-time high. Along with this extreme economic growth came scandals, thievery, and a decline in morality with sex and drugs being intertwined with multi-billion dollar companies. A lot of this mentality came from “yuppie” investors, a term that was coined in the 1980s...

The movie I chose is called Girl, Interrupted. This movie is an older one but I thought it was a really well-done movie. Angelina Jolie is an absolutely phenomenal actress. Her performance alone is worth watching the movie for. The cinematography was innovative, but not distractingly so– “Girl Interrupted” shines primarily for its dramatic power, not as a mind-blowing work of art. It will certainly probe you to question your way of seeing the world– at least psychologically. The movie...

Both texts explore the ideas of fantasy versus reality, misunderstandings, and escapism. They do so by creating characters who express themselves in unique ways and by using their interactions with one another to illuminate their core essences. The stories also have the potential to challenge the reader’s own perceptions, encouraging reflection and growth. Emma's distinct...
